It’s a distinction without a difference, but still.

Everybody is different and learns thing at different paces. I also did automatic only so that makes it easier.
The theory was the one for me. Couldn’t bring myself to study, damn ADHD, but I do have general common sense and I pick up things from the environment so I figured I could just hope I got questions I knew. Failed once then passed next one.
dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.deto Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•A emu egg (left) next to a cassowary egg (right). They are some of the largest bird eggs on the planet.1·5 days agoI got curious and your assumption is correct for one of the limiting factors.
Here is what I found:
- The shell must be strong enough to support the egg’s weight and protect the embryo, but thin enough for the chick to break through when hatching.
- As size increases, the weight grows cubically (volume), but shell strength only increases quadratically (surface area), so there’s a point where the shell would have to be too thick to hatch from.
- The distance from the shell to the center increases.
- Oxygen diffusion becomes inefficient, and the embryo could suffocate.
- Larger eggs are harder to keep at a uniform temperature.
- Birds incubating the eggs would need to generate and distribute more heat, which is physically demanding.
I walk a lot. Around 4 millions steps a year.
