I love a woman who knows what she wants and takes steps to get it <3

Human is endoskeleton optimized crab. Arthropod crab is exoskeleton optimized crab.

I mean yeah climate change is making things worse, but you need three things for a fire; heat, fuel, and oxygen. Climate change can supply the heat, but the decades of ignorant and ubiquitous suppression of wildland fires has supplied a dangerous abundance of fuel in a lot of areas. Really it's all our fault all around.

I think people kind of ruined entropy with all that disorder crap. The simple conceptual explanation is that entropy represents the energy that is unavailable to do work. The more entropy a system has the less work it's capable of doing, which ultimately means the less can happen within that system. Entropy always increases globally, because anything you do is something that happens and anything that happens means less energy available to make other things happen. The complex esoteric interpretations might have some conceptual value in specific circumstances, but like a lot of science communication the rigorous scientific definitions don't get communicated, so now we have nebulous concepts like order and disorder floating around that just confuse people more than anything.

As an engineer this is a comically incorrect take. Absolute zero is useful as an absolute reference in the same way zero of anything is. Try doing anything more complex than high school physics and the practical necessity for an absolute temperature reference becomes obvious. For fucks sake they even bothered to make an imperial version. Rankine is just Fahrenheit shifted to have zero be absolute.

I think you might be cutting a little hard if you're having such intense feelings about food. Hope you can find a way to fit some comfort food into your diet.

That's so American it's almost comical

Quantum mechanics works, no doubt about it. What I seriously doubt is the interpretation of what it means. When you get right down to it, it's just our best most successful attempt to model physical systems we can't observe with enough detail to tell exactly what's happening. The whole uncertainty principle isn't some magic truth about the nature of reality, it's just a statement about measuring particles by bumping them with other particles. Wave particle duality is an interpretation of the math, it isn't required for the math to work. Bell "disproved" hidden variable theories and we've been working with our hands tied behind our backs ever since, just so we can preserve the comforting fiction that have free will or that it means anything in the first place. It honestly pisses me off because so many scientists just accept the Copenhagen interpretation as truth, to the point that it's become dogma and anyone suggesting otherwise is automatically wrong. It's no wonder particle physics has hardly made any progress in the last few decades.

I understand why people always say things like this. It's the not having a choice that ruins eternity. Fortunately it seems that such a fate is physically impossible in this reality. Even if you were made of the most durable possible material, you would still fundamentally be composed of baryonic matter, which means if you fell into a star, collided with a celestial object at relativistic speed, or fell into a black hole, you would surely die. There is always a way out for an enterprising immortal, and afterwards sweet nothing.
