Long dates are often uranium series dating using zircon crystals and a known baseline that can date things into the billions of years. When zircon is formed it excludes lead and includes uranium. The end of the decay chain of uranium is lead. The lead to uranium ratio will give you the age of the crystal. This means anything that includes that crystal is younger.

We are organised in such a way that authority and empathy exclude each other. Never forget that authority is an authority by collective agreement, even when enforced by violence. A king never rules alone. If you elevate basic morality as a prerequisite for your participation with said authority it has no choice but to do so. So reach out to people and have important talks about these things. It is very important that agreement is formed as broadly as possible.

Hey now, I have a huge number of books I have never read but I do need them sometimes, like what the reluctance of 336 stainless that some Dingdong wants to install on this 500kv transformer? That is a book publishled in 1993 that I have looked through once to find that exact thing. Don’t want random pieces of hot metal attached to the equipment.

If you mentioned China or Russia in these comments then yes there are lots of tankies. And yes they parrot propaganda but you may actually be interacting with someone who has internalised said propaganda not an organized campaign like you would see on reddit and Facebook. So view it as an opportunity to interact rather than something to wholely avoid.
