Well the mass of an "Eatin' Cow" is best to not contain a lot of fat, but meat mass. They may be "Very Large" but hopefully it is not much Fat
Anyone have any random nerdy facts?

Ok they are very muscular (and not because they get lots of exercise)Well the mass of an "Eatin' Cow" is best to not contain a lot of fat, but meat mass. They may be "Very Large" but hopefully it is not much Fat
I have had "free range" grass grazing beef, and it's really good.
LR44 is a hold-over from a less formalized naming, I assume assigned by manufacturers. There are similar alternate names for many sizes, but only LR44 has really held on.
And the second most abundant element in the universe, helium, is super scarce on Earth for same reason combined with the fact that none of it is bound up in heavier molecules.
Only three specific isotopes of any element have their own unique names. 3H is called tritium, 2H is called deuterium, and 1H is called protium.
Helium on Earth is a nonrenewable resource. It is found in underground deposits alongside natural gas, where the helium atoms started life as alpha radiation emitted by radioactive elements, and later picked up electrons to become helium atoms.
(One more from the world of the elements.)
In general, the elements we call radioactive, those with no stable isotopes, are all of those above lead (element 82). But there are two elements below lead that also have no stable isotopes: promethium (element 61) and technetium (element 43).

Gallium will melt from body heat, and if liquid gallium is poured onto aluminum, the aluminum will absorb the gallium and become very weak, able to be shredded apart by hand.

True but that’s probably less than 1% of all the beef consumed (and it physically can’t be more than that either) saying 1% of our livestock is happy has some irony.

I hate it when such a wonderful standard is ruined like that!
Huh?

Most of the time you say the number of neutrons eg He^3 so it’s a standard notation but this time it’s a name and it drives me crazy having to say (and spell) deuterium and the others.
Super conductive materials placed in a magnetic field exhibit a phenomenon called Quantum Locking.
It basically is suspended in the magnetic field but not necessarily confined to its position in the magnetic field so it can follow a track of magnets.

Yup super cool, I like to think of it as magnetic drag.
My all time favorite weird physics phenomenon for sure. It really makes your imagination run wild with ideas lol.
E: Probably wouldn't be the best use for it, but if it were practical... and affordable, imagine using quantum locking to make a no-drag/no-friction rail launch system (not to be confused with a rail gun.. similar parts involved but different concept and goal). Do away with flyaway launch adapters all together. I'm sure this is less this practical in real life, but its just cool to think about

Like the fact that rockets that use fly aways are usually launched from the desert where liquid nitrogen is in short supply…
I like to imagine there is a gas station along a random road in the desert that has a fuel pump of L-NO2, complete with the guy in overalls on a rocking chair who judges you for being a "city-slicker" lol

At least on one occasion, the entire earth was covered in ice = snowball earth.
Fun fact about this: its theorized life lived through snowball earth by living in little cavities/bubbles from dark rocks melting into the surface of the ice to create little warmer than freezing microbiomes. (Something I learned from PBS Nova). As he is so famously quoted:
I highly recommend their ancient earth series. They have a whole video about how siberia was once an active super volcano for like millions of years; it was one of the mass extinction events.
You can still say or spell it as hydrogen-2 or 2H if you like.
(And it's not the number of neutrons, it's the number of nucleons. But I'm pretty sure you know that.)

I long for reasons to say deuterium.
That groove between your nose and upper lip is called the philtrum.

I guess so it’s just that it has always been explained that way even in text books so I don’t feel bad.

You are definitely confusing the words "neutron" and "nucleon," and if your textbook is mixing it up as well, you need to bring it up with your science faculty. That is not a trivial error.
