Literally, "water man" is correct. But I would translate it a bit more loosely as "water bearer".
Most, if not all, names of zodiac signs in Dutchare are literal translations from Latin. But while most people understand that Leo means Lion, how many know Cancer is Latin for crab?
Not exactly related to the question, but as a non-native English speaker, whenever I read something related to weights in imperial, e.g., 150 lbs, my mind reads it as 150 lubes.
I know it's pounds, if I would read it out loud, I would say pounds cause I'm not a weirdo (well...). But still, my internal monologue has lbs = lubes
Clearly you don't understand the first-past-the-post system the US presidential election utilises.
The chance isn't just slim. It's astronomical.
The chance of Cornell West winning is probably smaller than a bit-flip happening, switching your vote to another candidate. That's how little chance your vote would have to make the country a better place.
On the other hand, every vote not casted for the only viable non-Trump candidate helps Trump.
I'm European and would love for you to have the option to vote for proper social democrats or greens (especially greens!). But please, every US citizen needs to do their part to not get fascists get hold of your country.
It's sad to say, but if you don't vote for the democratic candidate, you might not have a chance to vote 3rd party in 4 years. (I don't like fear mongering, but it's a real enough possibility)
No worries. I was hesitant to post both comments, knowing they might be misinterpreted.
Oh, absolutely. Was hoping for a "I am all Hamas on this blessed day".
For the ones not in the know:
The amount of heavy elements present in a star when it formed will be neglible to the amount that will be created over time through fusion.
You can actually detect this through spectroscopy because the initial amount of metals will be present in the outer layer of the star. Heavy elements made through fusion will be mostly in the core.
The reason stars formed from primordial gas, i.e. only consisting of hydrogen and helium, is that such a gas will fragment less as it cools and collapses. Less fragmentation means heavier stars.
I only have a high level knowledge of the process though.
