Not according to the IAU.

According to the IAU, “planets and dwarf planets are two distinct classes of objects” – in other words, “dwarf planets” are not planets.

Ceres was considered a planet in the first half of the 1800’s, along with a bunch of things in the asteroid belt. There was a point where there were 64 planets.

In the present state of knowledge astronomers give us the following list:
Sixty-four “primary planets” revolving round the Sun as our Earth does.
Twenty satellites, including our Moon.
Of the sixty-four primary planets fifty-six are asteroids, comparatively small bodies, all of which were discovered in this century, and fifty-two since the year 1844.]

The anno domini (AD) dating system started in 525. The concept of zero did not make it to Europe until the 11th century.

No. I copied and pasted that. The definition says ‘the Sun’. There was a proposal to classify ‘exoplanets’ but the IAU never accepted it, and so those large masses orbiting other stars remain undefined.

Exoplanets are addressed in a 2003 position statement issued by a now-defunct IAU Working Group on Extrasolar Planets. However, this position statement was never proposed as an official IAU resolution and was never voted on by IAU members.

The stupidest consequence of the definition is not the classification of Pluto, but that there are only eight planets in the entire universe.

a planet is a celestial body that:

1. is in orbit around the Sun

Leap year creator

That’s Julius Caesar. Sort of…

00:00:00 is the 1st second of the day. 23:59:59 is the 86400th second of the day. That’s 24 hours.

It’s a New York thing

New York the state or NYC?

That is a belief that existed and maybe some still believe it, but I don’t think any large organizations would consider that canon. It’s generally considered a heresy, called Marcionism.

the mirror is reflecting the light emitted by the lamp better than a wall will do.

Will it? Maybe. You are making the assumption that specular reflection is better at reflecting than diffuse reflection, but that is a false assumption. It depends on the reflectivity of the wall and the mirror. A white wall can reflect more light than a mirror.

This is the third eruption in the same place in the past two months, if ‘a volcano erupts near Grindavík, Iceland’ was on your bingo card it should have already been marked. And having ‘any volcano erupts’ on a bingo card would make the game too easy since there are about fifty volcanos erupting at any one time.

It could just become a series of 1’s repeating forever

If that happens in a number, then it is rational. Pi is not rational, so that will never happen in pi.

No, it’s better. There is a comparison in OP’s link. (rank choice is called Instant Runoff Voting)

There is already a Japanese airbase about a mile away from it. The airbase was the first to confirm the new island.

Japan’s Maritime Self-Defence Force’s air base on Iwoto Island (previously known as Iwo Jima Island, the site of a major Second World War battle) confirmed the emergence of the new island last week after personnel heard a loud explosion that sent sand and ash flying high into the air.

So then the recommendation should be ‘never boil filtered water in the microwave, and never boil filtered water in a new pot on a stove’, not ‘never boil water in a microwave’.

Edit: or maybe ‘Never boil filtered water in a glass or ceramic container’ that makes it clear that the method of heating is irrelevant, it’s the condition of the water and container that is important.

I’ve boiled water in the microwave thousands of times, it’s never been superheated. It’s does not easily happen in a microwave.

Every time I’ve seen someone test out this microwave myth, they use distilled water and a new container.

Exactly the same as water being superheated in a microwave, no nucleation sites.

There’s nothing special about a microwave that will superheat water. You can superheat water on a stovetop, but nobody ever says not to boil water on a stove.

But with components continuing to get more expensive, Upton wrote, the Zero models have to increase as well—from $5 to $10 for a Zero and $10 to $15 for a Zero W (with wireless).

They are selling for what they are supposed to be sold for.
