Every time I see the word "females" in contexts like this I imagine the person writing the post is a Ferengi pretending to be human.

Sounds great. Just make sure it also gets the genes for strong hip ligaments. And the dopey friend genes that all labradors tend to have.

And then breed it to look like a polar bear sized grey wolf.

The "Preacher's Daughter" is a trope in a lot of media wherein the daughter of the local religious leader tends to be more likely to be a promiscuous troublemaker.

There is no clear definition of what constitutes a moon other than it being a body that orbits another body that orbits the parent star.

There are some astronomers who say the dividing line between a moon-planet/dwarf planet/asteroid system and binary (or more) planet/dwarf planet/asteroid system is whether or not the barycenter of the orbits is within one of the bodies or not.

And fun fact: if that definition gained acceptance, it would mean that the Pluto-Charon system would go from a dwarf planet-moon system to a binary dwarf planet system. Charon could get a promotion.

Speaking from personal experience, 9F won't kill you, at least not quickly, and it's pretty easy to put on enough clothes that you can spend entire work days outside being comfortably warm. I used to work outdoors regularly in Alaskan winters and except for days where it got down to around -20F I was usually able to keep warm just by having proper attire.

You can't really do that at 100F. Sure, it probably won't kill you if you stay hydrated, but it will never be comfortable.

  1. Probabilities - The mathematically determined chance that something will happen given a specific scenario.

  2. Possibilities - The set off all things with a >0% chance of happening given a specific scenario.

  3. Plausibility - The outcomes of a specific scenario, that when presented to a reasonable person, that person would determine that they are possible.

Some large asteroids have moons too.

Alaska is also on the ring of fire and the Aleutians are also a volcanic island chain.

Both Alaska and Hawaii have on average 1-2 volcanic eruptions per year. However, Alaska has an average of about 12,000 earthquakes per year. Hawaii has an average of about 100 earthquakes per year.

Alaska is by far more geologically unstable than Hawaii.

No, that's Florida. Alaska is the most geologically unstable.

Assuming your math is correct (and I have no reason to doubt that it is) a mass of 10^16 kg would actually be a pretty small moon or moderately sized asteroid. That's actually roughly the mass of Mars' moon Phobos (which is the 75th largest planetary moon in the Solar System).

yes, but also in other situations too. It's a valid name for water.

I lived in Fairbanks, AK for almost three years. I've also lived in Bethel for a little over a year and spent about 6 months in Barrow. I grew up in Anchorage. If I could afford to have seasonal houses, my summer home would be in Barrow and my winter home would be in Fairbanks.

Fuck anywhere that gets above 65F at any point during the year. It's currently 62F in Anchorage and while it's bearable, it's bordering on becoming miserable.

Fuck Summer and the Sun it rode in on.
