I guess they kinda just accepted the sensitivity and higher chance of a broken tooth. It’s like how we know how wearing high heels all the time fucks up your joints but the social convention is still there and people still follow it.

And it might just be the discolouration but the filed areas are darker and more yellow than the non-filed areas, so I think we’re just looking at the (probably tertiary) dentin.

Essay Response: With specific examples, explain the various ways African states responded to the spread of colonialism. How effective were these responses?

Currently used definitions of the cup:

The US customary cup (236.6 mL) is 8 US customary fluid ounces. The US customary fluid ounce (29.6 mL) is 1/16 of a US fluid pint.

The US legal cup (240 mL) is 8 US nutritional fluid ounces. The US nutritional fluid ounce is 30 mL.

The metric cup is 250 mL

Historically used definitions of the cup:

Ths British cup (284.1 mL) is 10 imperial fluid ounces. The imperial fluid ounce (28.4 mL) is 1/20 of an imperial fluid pint

The Canadian cup (227.3 mL) is 8 imperial fluid ounces

Imperial (used in the British Empire) vs US customary. The imperial fluid gallon (4.54609 L exactly) was never historically defined in terms of another unit while the US fluid gallon was defined as 231 cubic inches (3.785411784 L exactly). A pint is defined as 1/16 of a gallon in each system, but they can’t agree on how many ounces are in a pint (16 for US, 20 for imperial). Note that there are also imperial and US customary dry gallons and thus imperial and US customary dry pints…

Pretty sure he’s only in a defensive posture because the plate was just plopped right in front of him. Crayfish are cannibalistic scavengers so this would actually be a welcome sight.

Pill millipedes (looks like Glomeris marginata) vs isopods (some Armadillidium species as it can roll up into a ball). Incredible case of convergent evolution

I really don’t understand their examples. Like I get self-recognition and memory but what makes play behaviour, curiosity, anxiety-like states, and problem-solving signs of consciousness? These are at the end of the day organisms responding to stimuli, something all organisms by definition do. Is pain response a sign of consciousness but something like phototaxis isn’t only because the former is ‘complex’ and the latter ‘simple’?

ewww standard atmospheres. Use kilopascals like the good lord BIPM intended

Yeah but that’s only when they’re on their way back to the sea, for most of the salmon run the fish are perfectly edible. For Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest whose territories don’t directly border the sea (so mostly Interior and Columbia Plateau nations) the salmon run was traditionally a major source of staple food. The rivers used to run so thick with fish that people up and down the major rivers could gather enough salmon to live off for the next year.
