Scares off libs and wreckers

Fortunately, Edie is an unambiguously female name,

Is it? My first glance would assume it’s some variant spelling of Eddie. Never run into anyone called Edie.

I assume this is something you can’t find a torrent for? You could always try the quick and dirty method of just taking a screen capture for the length of whatever it is you’re watching.

While piracy isn’t stealing, piracy does decrease profits of the rightful owner.

Only if you would otherwise have bought it. If you never had any intention to buy the thing, the rightful owner loses nothing.

There’s an element selector tool, looks a bit like the colour picker, click that, then click on the missed ad.

His motivations are beyond our understanding

I love the game and completely agree. Apparently, there was a complete rework of the main narrative somewhere in development, with the original idea not including the emperor at all, but instead having a character called daisy, who you’d have a number of dialogues with throughout the game in a dream sequence at the bank of a river.

Daisy being the representation of the tadpole, she’d try to convince you to stay down by the river with her, and the final decision of the game would be whether or not to give in.

Not sure how accurate what I’ve read is, but I like that idea better.

Nature is just a process of change. There is no improvement or deterioration, and it’s not building towards some final goal or state.

Similar insects would quickly fill the niche.

I’m mentally old and out of touch with the kids, there are new emojis all the time and I have no idea what any of them mean. I spent all this time learning English and now half of the things people post are some sort of picture puzzle I lack the context to understand and have to guess the meaning of.

I know undervolting can make some electronics, including lightbulbs last longer, but I don’t know if that would countermand the extra wear from the changing voltage.

Some older wiring and devices can interact poorly and cause fluctuating voltages. The more stable the voltage, the less wear on the components and vice versa.

True, but the timing seems very convenient for the current Israeli administration.

Are they actually that incompetent, or was it known and allowed to happen anyway?

We did call those things AI back when they were being developed. It’s just that advancements in AI that become immediately useful tend to get a different name.

That is very cool, thanks for sharing it. Watching through the video though, there don’t seem to be any claims made or evidence presented that suggest these cells possess a mechanism, understood or otherwise, to know, understand or experience anything. Nothing to suggest they are capable of consciousness.

How can cells know what it’s like to be a cell? What capacity do they have to perceive information, what organs do they have to store memories and examine them?

Probably didn’t want to draw attention to the 13,000 Jews they were sheltering in the Varican

There are plenty of virtues that are generally seen as good outside of religious sentiment associated with suffering for a cause. Tenacity is usually an appealing quality.
