  • meteoric rise means to rise high in the sky. Meteorologist to study things high in the sky. Meteor thing in the sky.

    Meteoric rise doesn't reference the rock falling from the sky. They have the same root word meaning high in the sky.

  • Denmark has a parliament. The current caretaker coalition government lost control in June and new elections are probably going to be called on September 1.

    That will lead to a new election and new parliament. He was the only member of his party with a seat in parliament. He's probably looking to run again and maybe pick up a seat for his party.

  • Not a dumb question. I think it's because the Occipital lobe is an evolutionary old part of the brain. It's right on top of the brain stem the oldest part.

    The newer parts developed between the eyes and the older parts of the brain. Pushing the eyes forward. That's my understanding but I might be wrong.

    Hopefully if I am wrong someone jumps in and provides a correction.

  • Cephalopod precursors evolved eyes and then brains developed from the eye so their eye is structured correctly.

    Vertebrate precursors evolved the brian first and the eye evolved out the brain as a sensory stub. So it's upside down and inside out like in picture.

    The nerve cluster goes through the back of the eye splits and folds back to end in light receptors. Light hase to go through the nerves before hitting the sensor.

    There is even a reflective layer after the sensors that gives the sensors a second chance at picking up the light. This is what causes the red eye or green eye you sometimes see in flash photography.

    It would require a genetic rebuild to fix this and the intermediate steps evolution usually use would be so disadvantageous they are selected against. So the right combo of mutations to give us a working octopus eye is VERY unlikely to happen.

  • Any sub could but only nuclear bother. They have the power generation to run the process and stay down long enough to need it.

    Other subs run on batteries and need to surface to recharge. So making oxygen would reduce how long you can stay down not extend it.

  • I remember the add that made me install my first add blocker. It stated playing the sound of knocking on glass and a voice going "Hey You!". With a looped videoof some guy waving at me.

    Every so often one gets through my blocker and they have only gotten more annoying.
