I've been saying this for years. Use nice textured recycled plastic. The amount of cool textured and nice feeling materials out there is insane.
Gimme a plastic screen too. If someone is concerned about scratches they can add a glass protector. Those people already do anyway. There are even plastics that could be used that would resist scratches incredibly well.
Then my whole phone is flexible and nearly unbreakable.

Usually what happens is whoever needs to know has their own specific way of determining the thing.
As a wildlife biologist, the meme description is pretty good and would suffice for just about anything I need. The present or recent past circumstances are the most important to my work.
If I were interested in the geology, or say ground water, earth studiesor, or even the more distant past then this definition you share becomes more useful.
There are going to be even more criteria that apply for different groups, and even sometimes none of these definitions we've seen would matter because you only care if it sustains a specific species or something even less obvious.
I don't specialize in that particular area so I couldn't say honestly.
My primary focus when I did was just dealing with the Everglades and surroundings for the most part.
Worldwide I'm not sure I could even guess what should be more common.
Canada has those prairie potholes which are usually marshes and Canada is huge, so maybe sheer numbers it could be something like that, but by size you get things like the Everglades. I'm sure someone knows though, just not me.
Wildlife biologist here, Absolutely.
Oddly enough I usually see/write it fen/bog marsh. There are tons of other qualifiers too, like salt marsh, tidal marsh and such.
The same applies for all 4 examples if it's needed. Salt swamps and fresh water swamps and such.
Wildlife biologist here, and I have to concur with just about all of this.
I think we generally look at a viruses and consider them alive but just barely. While prions are not because they (proteins) are what is considered one of the building blocks for life. Self replication being one of the major criteria we'd look for. We look at a very macro level of life but our education and work has a strong overlap down here a well.
This is such a well written post! Gets the point id like to make across in a much better way than I could
Explain yourself!
Been saying this for years! I think when Mark did the video with the huge air horn is when I caught on and stopped watching the Mormon crew. Weirded me out
From them of course! :D
There are parts of your sleep that you're basically unconscious and nearly impossible to wake.
The dreams could be a whole life being uploaded to your brain, hence the weirdness, until it's initialized and you wake up.
Mac and cheese is technically pasta with milk :D
Or Jack Black. I love him, but this dumb Hollywood trend of hiring Jack for anything comical is absurd.
