I mean, it depends on the ratio. More coffee is "coffee with milk", more milk is "milk with coffee" and if they're the same then it's just "coffee and milk/milk and coffee"... or you could just call it "coffee and milk/milk and coffee" all the way

[@missseaweed2462]

@@mastertofu So what you're saying is like if you have a ratio of 1 to 1/4 of coffee and milk, it would be read as 1 and 1/4 as a combined unit instead of 1/4 and 1. So it does depend on whichever has a larger mass or amount in relation to the other.

The video about pine trees was really interesting for me because English isn't my first language and I thought "pine tree" was a term for the whole Pinaceae family. In my native language (Swedish) we have a word for the whole type of tree with needles instead of leaves; "Barrträd". "Barr" is our word for the needles on a pine, fir, spruce etc. and "träd" is "tree", so it basically means "Needle trees". And I thought "Pine tree" was the English version of that. Thank you for clearing it up for me :)

[@bubblinebee]

It's probably late for you but for anyone else who stumbles upon this the closest English equivalent is 'evergreen'. This technically refers to any tree where the leaves don't fall off in the winter, but in normal conversation is typically used for needle-trees.

[@LincolnDWard]

@@bubblinebee or "conifer"

[@Persun_McPersonson]

Colloquially, "pine tree" is used for the whole Pinaceae family, so you could consider "pine tree" to have multiple definitions; this is kind of like how "classical music" refers to both a specific era of western music aswell as a larger set of eras mushed together, or how "weight" variously refers to either mass or the force of mass under gravity. As the other two replies pointed out, there are terms for the colloquial usage of "pine tree" that removes ambiguity.

[@elgatitodraven7501]

​@@Persun_McPersonson the thing is more about the fact that there's no names for what in english is called spruce or fir, there's only "pine" for all of them, it's not a "coloquial name for all evergreen trees", it's like some cultures have multiple names for what in english is called only snow, and they treat each name as a different thing the original comment was just trying to say how they thought in english, like many other languages, there's only one word for all of them and pine would be that word

[@mekafinchi]

Off the top of my head, I’d say that for an object to be a moon it must - orbit its parent body such that the barycenter is inside the parent body (or some maximum percent from the surface) - have a stable orbit around its parent body - meet some minimum size, probably a percentage

[@TheScarvig]

i can agree with that, though it is possible to fully describe all these criteria by looking at the barycenter alone: 1. its easy barycenter inside one of the bodies 2. barycenter is not allowed to get too far away from the parent body. i dont know if you can define a barycenter for unstable orbits, but if it has one it probably shouldnt be wandering around too much 3. barycenter has to have a minimum distance from the center of the parent body. that would automativally exclude bodies that are way too small compared to their parent. and maybe just to make it clear we should add that the bodies themselves should primarily orbit a star, to exclude moons around moons around moons and stuff like twin asteroids

[@wallabra]

Mercury?

[@ResandOuies]

Size could be "big enough to be sphere". And may add "cleared it's orbit so no similar sized object share it. Would exclude all of the ring objects nicely I'd think.

I was not prepared to learn that my favorite dino is not a dino. On the plus side, the video redeemed itself by informing me that I'm actually related to my favorite animal from the dino period.

"They're all members of the family Pinaceae" ... you mean the pine family of trees?

[@michaelfarnsworth1405]

I was hoping someone would have already said this.

[@JohnnyHikesSW]

No, that’s not what they mean actually, just because pines are the namesake of that family doesn’t mean every member of that family is a pine, that’s like saying if your last name is Johnson that means your first name is John

[@jaysmitty4543]

@@JohnnyHikesSW Exactly! Hence the term "true pines". There are a lot of animals and plants in families like this that have "true" members that are the namesakes. But not being the namesake doesn't mean you're not in the family.

I remember seeing one of those white/blue bee and when I talked about it with a teacher not long after, she basically said I was insane and that there was no such thing... (this was before the year 2000, not many had computers to look stuff up)
