Thank you for your sacrifice.
That quacks me up.
I see you studied your Comparitive Economics of Historic Treachery.
Building on this, it’s true that the current value of that amount of silver is probably only a few hundred dollars, but at the time, it may have been months worth of salary for a laborer.

I reported the bigots, and all I got was this lousy t-shirt and a better world.
Sorry to reuse my comment, but it seems to fit here.
Also, wouldn’t this actually be deflation in the value of silver and / or inflation of the value of labor relative to it?

No, you’re sincere. We need more of that.
Yeah, it needs more JPEG.
This is correct. I was just trying to be ironic. Sorry if I baited anyone.
Thanks for being kind to me and assuming the best. As it is, I was doing an ironic shtick in the same vein.
Hmm? I’m not familiar with that term. He just left me this bat with his friends’ signatures on it, and a few religious symbols. It’s pretty stained, but it’s got a lot of sentimental value. He didn’t say much except that he used it to teach Nazis a lesson by beating them…at the game of baseball. Always that pause near the end as grandma gave him a sharp look. She must have not wanted me to hear about his baseball stories.
30%: underpaid
40%: immorally underpaid
50%; criminally underpaid

“Hey, babe! New Hitler Youth merch just dropped!”
“They’re labeling themselves?”
“Yeah! They got race-supremecy friends and everything!”
“Let me grab my grampa’s bat. He beat so many Nazis with this…at the game of baseball of course.”
“Of course.”

Oh, you’re no fun anymore.
In all seriousness, thanks for bringing up that concept. On the surface, we generally group animals into endotherms and exotherms, but the reality is much more diverse, as you pointed out. Certain species of Tuna do make it into the category of endotherm because they generate enough heat internally to make a significant difference, however their body temperature is still largely variable depending on the surrounding environment making them also poikilotherms. Whereas mammals and birds are generally endotherms and homeotherms. I’m skipping over the concepts of hibernation and torpor in our bear and hummingbird friends, respectively, because that’s a whole other can of worms. In conclusion, I believe T. Rex, and many other dinosaurs, were both endotherms and homeotherms.
You’re not spreading misinformation. You stated your thesis based on your assumptions. You tested it, and then shared your results. I really appreciate that.
You okay, Gulf Coast?
Woke up and chose violence this morning, so here goes:
Akshully, the Jurassic Park creatures are not reptiles for a number of reasons.
Reptile is paraphyletic and arbitrarily groups species regardless of their lineage.
T. Rex was likely warmblooded as its descendants are.
The creatures are not entirely dinosaurs. They’re hybrids of dinosaurs, and modern animals that the Jurassic Park scientists believed were most similar genetically.
Anyway, thanks for commenting, and I hope I’ve conveyed an appreciative and respectful tone. I sincerely just like sharing, learning, and discussing things.
Also, fight me.
We’re so close to using USDA money to prop up weapons manufacturing, effectively beating our plowshares into swords. I can almost taste the irony, which is good because there will be little left to eat if we let it get that far.
