Fair enough

I understand quite well how monophyletic clades work and I hope you understand that they are a human construct. That doesn’t mean they are wrong or bad or something, but the question you are ignoring is: Who decides what the stem dinosaur is and would the decision be the same if they know about pterosaurs? Maybe but maybe not. Now that decision is made and set in stone, there is no going back but “dinosaur” and “ornithodiran” are just words that would be swopped (again, not gonna happen anymore)

Yes, dinosaurs are defined as all descents of the last common ancestor of [blank] and [blank].

I don’t remember what the blanks were but I’m sure they would have included pterosaurs if they knew about them back than

Can you please share the list of moves you did? I hope that this gets in the top 7 or that you do in anyway

Maybe they spoke German but with other words for dinosaurs?

They are the direct sister group. It’s kind of a definition thing. People defined dinosaurs before pterosaurs were known so they were not included

Always make falsifiable predictions and make sure they will not be falsified

Wholesome

I hate to repeat myself but DST is garbage. I never said it’s good

But what is the alternative? Sure, fck daylight saving. Having the date changed at noon is fucked up, too, and that’s what happens if you agree to one global time. And having countries that are too big for a time zone is fucked up as well. Russia for example actually only spans to the Ural mountains, everything to the east are colonies. Fuck states in general #nobordersnonations

Sounds like daylight saving is the bigger issue. Maybe not bigger but when you compare cost and benefit. I think the US uses even different start and end dates than the EU and I don’t know about the rest of the world

“Meine Partei-Vorsitzende lebt in einer gleichgeschlechtlichen Beziehung mit einer Frau aus Sri Lanka” ist das neue “Ich bin kein Rassist, ich habe einen schwarzen Freund”

Aren’t time zones quite straightforward? You add a whole number of hours and for some a half. Compare that to a sundial on the one side and having times that don’t match your day at all on the other, I’d say it’s good

I moved to Hessen because my heart told me to do it in morse code

True. Every physical condition has a psychological root

Does she ever admit that? Because that would cause a paradox

My greatest fear would be to slide and roll down and I would try to get up as quickly as possible out of anxiety but to each their own I guess

If I remember correctly, the very first fade out was at a live performance included the orchestra to physically leave the room

Carpet your for only $0.99 whole

I will never vote Democrats!

Since I do not intend to move to the US but I vote the lesser of several evils here in Europe
