Remember, if you fail, it's the fault of The Others.

It's basically a super fuzzy subject that changes as you want, and in so far as its useful it's not new, and the parts that are new aren't useful. Also, the guy who coined the term is a nutcase.

All hybrid seeds basically only work for one generation, because basic genetics.

Terminator Seedsare about 25 years old now, and aren't actually in use anywhere.

The column is Ionic, but don't let that detract from the joke!

Doric is straight, Ionic has scrolls, Corinthian is with frills and leafs.

The links seemed like decently recent data so you wouldn't expect someone in my percentiles to be so strangely missized unless sizing was just flat wrong or targeted to certain body shapes in the last 10-ish years.

Ehhh sorta kinda. The charts used are intentionally outdated, since they're supposed to model healthy weight and are used for population scale statistics.

https://www.cdc.gov/growthcharts/information-for-healthcare-professionals.htm check under "why haven't the growth charts been updated"

Currently, more than 30% of kids fall in the 95th percentile, for example. Which is statistically a stupid thing to say, but it allows for better tracking if you don't change your measuring tool.

75th percentile in weight for the US

Seeing how 30% of the US is morbidly obese, I'm rather shocked you're were in a size L at all.

Or you're using an outdated chart.

Fair. I guess you could read my reply as "they don't flee to Europe at all", but I intended it as "they don't flee to Europe all that often".

I guess I could have been more clear there, but in my defense, I did elaborate.

I am not interested in a political discussion nor in the overly-common mud-slinging that desperately attempts to label everyone either a hateful nazi or a moronic lefty.

Aren't you in luck then, because I did neither. Your reaction is pretty over the top though.

Also, seeing how Ukraine is already in Europe, it would take a lot of effort for them not to flee to (elsewhere in) Europe.

Since people from war-torn nations often flee to Europe where they tend to get all kinds of help and support

They don't do that at all. That's a deceitful right-wing talking point meant to create xenophobic reactions.

People from war torn nations move to non-war torn parts of their own county, or their direct neighbors. Only a tiny fraction go further, and only a fraction of those go all the way to Europe.

I took a year of civil engineering in uni, then decided I didn't like it, switched to chemistry.

When I finished my PhD I decided I never wanted to be in a lab ever again, and that academia is absolutely not for me. But it was in the middle of the housing bubble collapse, so my first job was in QA for a factory.

That taught me a LOT of "how things actually work", completely unrelated to anything in chemistry. It was also fucking shit.

Second job was a major contractor, doing asphalt and concrete development. I started to quickly accumulate side jobs, in quality, safety, compliance etc etc. And since I was still in a damned lab, I jumped at the opportunity to not be. Leaned into the safety and regulation aspects, and they paid for all the certifications and educations. And when I was done, then they reorganized and didn't need me anymore, which was fine by me because I was off the hook for all the education costs.

So I started my own consulting company in safety and compliance, mostly workplace safety, waste handling, soil remediation etc etc. I do audits from either end of the table and get to handle a lot of tricky problems with a lot of variation, it's pretty fun. And being self employed in an in-demand field is great!

They would likely deorbit even faster if there was a debris cloud following a collision.

Maybe, but not always. Debris from a collision can be flung in all directions, including higher orbits.

Thankfully, those higher orbits probably won't be long term stable since the perigee will pretty much always be at the point of impact. But it could very well be stable for years, since most of the orbit won't be dragging through the atmosphere anymore.

But the real risk is a cascade effect. One hit can create thousands of pieces of debris, which may well cause another hit. Etc etc.

That was some excellent sea lioning there buddy.

I feel fully morally justified in having people experience what they want others to experience. I'm also fine with that applying to me.

And since you're substituting outrage for intelligence, I'll provide an example.

Person A thinks that social safety nets should be removed for the express purpose of making Person B to suffer. Taking this action causes person A to suffer the effect of their own action.

Person C thinks that if you want others to suffer, you should suffer. Taking this action causes... Nothing because it is a purely reactive stance that doesn't do anything unless triggered by a second party.

Similarly, I think that if you take someone's money that you should be punished, for example by someone taking your money.

The fact that you don't understand this is honestly rather baffling. Or you're just enjoying sealioning to make everyone who isn't on your side of the argument look bad.
