<UmbralRaptor> Todo: sell myself to a mixture of strangers and distant associates, figure out how to say interesting things about brown dwarfs for 15 minutes, crush dreams^W^Wgrade labs
<UmbralRaptor> Profound: A statement that analysis and facts (not alt facts) matter, aimed primarily at the general public. But very much in reaction to the current government's rejection of evidence based thinking, let alone policy.

<egg> !wpn Iskierka
* Qboid gives Iskierka a tantalum raptor
<Profound> UmbralRaptor, so global warming?
* Ellied steals the tantalum raptor from Iskierka to make capacitors
<Iskierka> you'd disassemble a poor defenseless elementary animal to make electronics components? ):
<whitequark> yes
<whitequark> that's more useful than food at any rate
<Ellied> an entire velociraptor's volume of solid elemental tantalum is probably enough to hold over the electronics industry for a few minutes while people in the countries where it's usually mined get back on their feet I guess
<Iskierka> it didn't say velociraptor, though
<Iskierka> it might be a pygmy owl
<Ellied> true
<whitequark> tantalum world production is like 700 tons per year
<whitequark> its density is 16.7t/m^3
<whitequark> how much volume is in a single velociraptor?
<Ellied> not really sure
<whitequark> "up to 13kg" wait what
<Ellied> ;wa velociraptor mass
<kmath> Ellied: Velociraptor (dinosaur)->weight: (16 to 18) kg (kilograms)
<Ellied> say what?
<whitequark> the fuck?
<Ellied> I always thought they were like, large
<whitequark> same
<Ellied> knowing WA that's the mass of its 13th vertebra or something
<Ellied> "In real life, however, Velociraptor was roughly the size of a turkey, considerably smaller than the approximately 2 m (7 ft) tall 80 kg (180 lb) reptiles seen in the films."
<Ellied> ;c ((16.7*0.018)/700)*365*24
<kmath> Ellied: 3.761794285714285
<Ellied> so about 3 hours and 45 minutes of tantalum usage, roughly
<whitequark> your initial guess was unexpectedly precise
<Ellied> not bad for a half joke
<Iskierka> I figured velociraptor probably implied utahraptor but I'm amused neither of you had any idea about that misrepresentation
<Iskierka> ;wa utahraptor mass
<kmath> Iskierka: Utahraptor (dinosaur)->weight: (700 to 850) kg (kilograms)
<Iskierka> not sure where they get an assumption of 80 kg for JP velociraptors; based on their size I'd be comparing them to large cats, not a person of similar height
<UmbralRaptor> For the record, an UmbralRaptor masses 66.2 kg
<Iskierka> ;wa deinonychus mass
<kmath> Iskierka: Deinonychus (dinosaur)->weight: (80 to 100) kg (kilograms)
<UmbralRaptor> Profound: Most notably, but the admin has vaguely wandered towards antivax stuff.
* UmbralRaptor didn't think that deinonychus got that heavy.
<Iskierka> that's probably where but deinonychus is considerably smaller than 2m
<Iskierka> ;wa cassowary mass
<kmath> Iskierka: Casuarius->weight: (data not available)
* egg pets UmbralRaptor with a Deinonychus
<Iskierka> how do we have low-margin-error data for extinct dinosaur masses but not for a living one
* UmbralRaptor squawks?
<Profound> Vaccinations aren't real. All that stuff in biology class is fake. God cured polio.
<UmbralRaptor> Iskierka: the extinct ones don't run away.
<UmbralRaptor> Or in the case of cassowaries disembowl you.
<Iskierka> apparently they're 58.5 kg
<Iskierka> so deinonychus' family were built as fuck, I guess?
<Iskierka> even wiki's lower estimate of 73 kg is a lot of muscle for a .87m hip height
