  • Also did biology with evolutionary biology upper division coursework. Part of the reason astrobiology seeks for signs of water is that water is the known common factor of earthbound life.

    The portion I remember about extremeophiles also looked at the perched lakes under antarctica. As I remember there IS a degree of mineralization that takes place in those lakes as stromatalite formations by proteobacteria.

    Essentially if there’s water and any kind of radiation around minerals then the building blocks for life start to appear.

    Water+mineral+radiation = Life, maybe? (Maybe divided by time/luck?)





  • Ebert would’ve preferred a return to monarchy. His version of democracy and the party was the one that existed within the Prussian Kingdom and the German Empire.

    While the Freikorps were the proto-nazis, in Ebert’s time they were still mostly just monarchists and military aristocracy who opposed the republic. They all hated the Nazis for being peasants, but agreed with their policies nonetheless.



  • This is usually how users that use the ‘tankie’ as a pejorative out themselves as anti-leftist or just plain uninformed. There’s already a term for those who support that kind of fascistic rhetoric: Nazbols.

    Either they don’t know the term, or they do and choose not to. The former owns up quick, the latter digs in and keeps on a grudge about it.

    No surprises here.
