Literally, “water man” is correct. But I would translate it a bit more loosely as “water bearer”.

Most, if not all, names of zodiac signs in Dutchare are literal translations from Latin. But while most people understand that Leo means Lion, how many know Cancer is Latin for crab?

Not exactly related to the question, but as a non-native English speaker, whenever I read something related to weights in imperial, e.g., 150 lbs, my mind reads it as 150 lubes.

I know it’s pounds, if I would read it out loud, I would say pounds cause I’m not a weirdo (well…). But still, my internal monologue has lbs = lubes

No worries. I was hesitant to post both comments, knowing they might be misinterpreted.

That might make thing overcomplified though

Oh, absolutely. Was hoping for a “I am all Hamas on this blessed day”.

For the ones not in the know:

Speak for yourself

Yes, but why would you listen to what Hamas has to say?!?!

The amount of heavy elements present in a star when it formed will be neglible to the amount that will be created over time through fusion.

You can actually detect this through spectroscopy because the initial amount of metals will be present in the outer layer of the star. Heavy elements made through fusion will be mostly in the core.

The reason stars formed from primordial gas, i.e. only consisting of hydrogen and helium, is that such a gas will fragment less as it cools and collapses. Less fragmentation means heavier stars.

I only have a high level knowledge of the process though.

We’re younger than the US though.

Thanks! I knew I must have missed it, but couldn’t find it.

Shouldn’t you ask for the cat’s age as well as the recordings? Or did I read over that?

It might be worthwhile to gather some other information about the cat, like whether they’re indoor or outdoor cats, former strays or not,…

Funnily enough, the image most of us have of Caligula is likely very exaggerated.

Most modern commentaries seek to explain Caligula’s position, personality and historical context. Many of the outrageous allegations against him are dismissed as misunderstandings, exaggeration, propaganda or malicious fantasy.

By not voting, you are still, implicitly, voting for the candidate who you wouldn’t have voted for. Do you think he’s not supporting Israel?

Do you think he even has any moral standing?

That’s who you’re voting for by not voting.

You just want to absolve yourself of that moral responsibility.

That’s exactly what you are doing. You’re focusing on this one issue, retreating yourself from the binary decision because neither options stands for what you (or I, or morality) would prefer. Completely ignoring that withdrawing from the choice plays into the hand of the infinitely worse candidate. So by not choosing, you do nothing to stop the situation in Gaza, but might actually make things a lot worse for people all over.

You can virtue signal that you did not compromise on your believes, while actually helping your country make a worse place.

Would this not be considered as “providing comfort to insurrectionists”, as described in the 14th amendment. Even just promising pardoning them.

So even if they argue he supposedly wasn’t involved in it, it would still disqualify him from office.
