Good answer. This seemed relevant enough to share, it’s certainly interesting. https://newatlas.com/biology/life-merger-evolution-symbiosis-organelle/

Definitely anything SuperGiant. Bastion, Hades, and Transistor are some of the only games I’ve actually finished, and the sound tracks are incredible.

Right? Like what if as cells die or degrade instead of being replaced by the body naturally they are replaced by nanites/cybernetics/tech magic. If the process of fully converting took place over the course of 10 years, then I don’t see how the subject would even notice.

It’s an interesting thing to ponder.

Yeah, experiencing that is a horror I wouldn’t wish on anyone. That’s a true nightmare.

I don’t think having kids of my own is in my future, I hope I can live my life with enough intent and purpose to avoid this date. Thank you both for this thread, it’s gotten me thinking.

Waffle stomp gets me laughing every time in any context.

Doesn’t mean we can’t learn from them. The process of developing those models can be incredibly useful in learning about complex steps. They help us understand what conditions and variables are important to look into. We can figure out what we know a lot about and what is still a complete mystery.

Turbulent airflow is an incredibly complicated thing, we still haven’t fully solved the Navier+Stokes equations. I hope to be alive when someone does.

Just because they don’t perfectly figure it out the first time doesn’t mean we should stop putting effort into incremental improvements. Though we do have to be careful that we are not wasting resources when there is a more efficient path forward. Simulations are one of many important tools, we just have to use them wisely.

What are some good other options? I haven’t kept up with the advances with this stuff in a few years.

Learn to cook and post food pictures. Would probs work instead of the gym. Oh and keep a super clean kitchen and wear a bunch of joke aprons.

I mean knowing how to cook well is definitely an attractive trait in a spouse.

That’s a brilliant way to answer.

Great way of saying it. That has always bothered me as well.

I really enjoyed using MATLAB in school and it really helped with some of my graduate stuff. What scummy stuff are they up to? Any alternatives you’d recommend?

I switched my gaming PC to Linux two months ago and I’m loving it. I’ve only had to boot my Windows drive twice.

They shrugged just wait until the theft goes over a certain amount while collecting evidence.

Idk sounds to me like you are the change we need. You’re investing your energy into the future without asking for selfish repayment. You’re good people. From my perspective you are still keeping that hope of a better future alive and burning, nurturing it in the hearts and minds of the young, allowing it to grow strong in a protected environment. You are EXACTLY what the world needs right now. So thank you Internet friend.

They are not talking about going to school but having people at the school do the dental work.

I switched to Mint this month and have only run into issues with anti-cheat. I’ve tried about 8 different games. Halo Infinite had some odd textures the first time I ran it, but not since.

All in all I’m very happy with my OS switch.

My positive experience with my Steam Deck got me to take the plunge and now I’m happily gaming on Mint.

Yeah, I don’t think “mentally ill people” only exist in specific places or that specific areas are “full” of them. I mean, I know for sure at least one deranged person lives in your area.

Also I highly doubt you truly worked in retail if you never experienced a customer like this. If you did, you must have been lucky and in an extremely high end store.

People are the same everywhere in the world, no better or worse than anywhere else. Which is kinda great IMO.

I don’t message anyone with an iPhone. Other than the different colored bubbles what does it do? How is the quality degraded?

It just seems like Apple kept it separate so their obsessed fans would have something to feel superior about.

A lightsaber’s blade is also lighter than a real blade, which would help mitigate the risk. Though I could see boppin oneself in the face remaining a problem in this stance.
