It's crazy how important it is your first 5 years of life go well.

Foster->Adopt is cheaper, takes longer and most people want no more than an infant. I get it too, some kids unfortunately grow up in fucked up environments and just because you remove them from the situation it doesn't take away the emotional scars.
I knew a girl who was one of 2 bio-kids in her house, the things that her foster brothers and sisters exposed her too at a young age are not thing I'd want to have happen to my own kids.

Basically it depends on what emphasis you put on the word "just"
You can just make up a word
But you can't just make up a word

It's an infant like you seem to be describing the creators can take away the child in the first year, seen it happen.

Reply to comment by MegaMinerd in The direction of temperature is arbitrary. There is no reason for hot objects to be assigned a larger number than cold ones by Crux_AMVS24
That’s the point, it’s not related. What you read is(vaguely) the definition of temperature. It’s just a physical property that determines what would happen when two bodies touch each other. If they are at “different temperatures”, some process(which we can call heat transfer) would take place from one body to the other. If the two objects have the same number assigned to them(ie, their temperature) then there will be no interaction or process that occurs. Temperature, by definition is not a measure of internal energy but it IS related to it. That relation is either directly proportional, or inversely proportional, depending on which convention you take. Humans chose the one where hot objects have a bigger number, and so we chose the relation of temperature being directly proportional to kinetic energy

And the movies themselves are terrible, unwatchable.

Reply to The ratio of humans eaten by pigs to pigs eaten by humans is low, but still not 0:1 by joshingram
That's true, but the ratio of humans eaten by pigs in bacon to pigs eaten by humans in bacon is a much closer 1:1!

Since the conversion is 1/T, a body would have a temperature of zero when it’s internal energy tends to infinity

They would, since all you’re doing is replacing T by 1/T

Reply to Adults only curse around adults. Kids only curse around kids. Everyone curses, its just taboo across generations. by Chipbread
My dad would curse while taking me to school, and then my mom would curse while talking about my dad on the way back home after school.
This was elementary school btw.

Computationally, I don’t know. One advantage is related to the Maxwell velocity distribution curve, where the function is related to e^-(1/kT) where 1/kT is replaced by B. I would probably say, when it comes to explaining temperature non-rigourusly, it seems simpler in the current scale, but if we used the g(x) version, not much would have changed. Our scales would be calibrated differently, boiling water would be 0*C and the ideal gas equation would be PVT = nR but there wouldn’t be any contractions/problems or as you put it, loss of information

A full year, wow, that’s amazing. I got 5 days. But I took some extra 70% paid leave and some vacation as well. Also I work in 5 shifts, so I’m home more than a typical full time worker. My wife is still home. She starts Monday, but will be working remotely for the most part. It’s important to spend a lot of time with them because it’s a cliche but it goes by very quickly and you don’t get a do over.

"You" can't invent a word.
Someone else can if they are famous or own a major TV station.

Cold sores can also infect your brain. Herpes in the brain. It's lovely. Happened to a cousin of mine when he was young.

HSV-1 is a second (less common) cause of genital herpes outbreaks.
