fine career path

It was, but now that job is already taken.

"I support you, but the job interviews may be competitive. And they should probably be televised."

It's fine, she said in an interview afterwards that her next career move is fulfilling a lifetime ambition of joining the circus. So the spot is still open.

How do you write a dissertation on acoustic signaling for creatures that have been extinct for millions of years? It’s all untested theory on top of untested theory.

Nobody tell this guy about the state of modern physics.

Maybe based on the bones and flesh imprints in the rock you could recreate what the sounding cavity may have been like, which would help you get an idea for what sort of vocalizations would be possible.

Turning a raptor bone into an ocarina is the plot line of like 30% of Jurassic Park movies. The other 70% is using raptor bones to pretend disembowel children. It's all raptor bones.

I sorta get it, but stuff like that can only tell you so much. It’s an awful lot of hypothesizing and guesswork - so much that I’m surprised you can make a dissertation out of it.

Then again, I’ve never had to write a dissertation, so I don’t know what’s involved.

Computer modelling has gotten incredibly sophisticated in the last 30 years.

With context.

I think the word he’s looking for is “young,” I could not for the life of me figure out why they have to be physically small to have a dream

[–] meliaesc@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They're synonymous in this context.

[–] subtext@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I mean yes I figured it out eventually. Just could have been more clear from the get go.

Fun fact:

Bryony is a poop name.

Just watched the episode of prehistoric planet with my SO where the Dreadnaughti use frog bellows for signalling and mating displays

Now I'm wondering if they cited her specifically on that one

[–] boatsnhos615@lemmings.world -3 points 1 year ago

What a loser LOL all for an outdated competition that you dedicated your 24/7 life. Her onlyfans would be more memorable
