Nuclear launch detected.

Is she even a boomer or silent generation? Not sure about her exact age but I think Hitler was winning the war when she was born.

Nah, it'll be more subtle than that. Just like Brawno is full of the electrolytes plants crave, responses will be full of subtle product and brand references marketers crave. And A/B studies performed at massive scales in real-time on unwitting users and evaluated with other AIs will help them zero in on the most effective way to pepper those in for each personality type it can differentiate.

I don't think he's necessarily trying to dismiss this as express curiosity about that kind of reaction to that news and adding in other examples where the whole nation would have celebrated something.

If anything, he seems to be saying that the invention of the polio vaccine is in the same class of news as the others, not that people were only celebrating the polio vaccine because they were happy about these other events that were well passed or still to come in the future.

Yeah, though I'd argue using kanji is different notation. Unless you meant delta and five both being spelled out in English. Should have used Δ lol.

Ah fuck, that's a rough lesson to learn the hard way. Like so obvious in hindsight, but if you needed to learn it, you needed to learn it before you could see that.

Yeah, that last one is my preferred one. Who knows if it's true or not, but if I could pick which one was true, I'd pick that one. I think it would have the best combination of getting all questions answered while also being able to keep existence interesting. It's a way to be immortal without regretting it, if mortality even applies to whatever we really are that is experiencing all of this.

I wonder if there were eons of boredom before the possibly even occurred and if there will be eons more of boredom after the one ends. Or if there's simultaneously a multitude of planets with life that we can experience. Maybe even a multitude of universes to experience life on.

Going really far with the idea, there's a possibility that all fiction and creative storytelling is actually a part of us just recounting something that happened to other parts of us in places with similar rules or very different ones.

Like infinite monkeys in infinite universes with infinite laws of physics and infinite definitions of "monkey" playing out every possible permutation of every possible existence.

They are all just ways of converting energy from one form into electricity. Every single one of the ways we "generate" electricity ultimately comes from gravitational energy. By the time we use it to power electrical circuits, it all has gone through various energy-consuming/losing processes.

The list wasn't so much a "ways to create electric energy that aren't spinning turbines" as a "power sources for electric circuits that aren't spinning turbines", which is why I included chemical and electrical, even though they often aren't very useful without another source of electric power.

I think it's more about control than sending what you love away.

"Set it free" means let your love interest choose to stay or leave on their own, don't try to keep them caged.

Depending on what you mean, it's possible that your love you regret letting go of wouldn't have lasted even if you had held it and fought.

Though if you mean you took that saying and thought it meant you needed to push your love away to see if they returned, then yeah, that's not a great strategy.

Only alternatives that I'm aware of:

• solar cells (converting photon energy into electricity)
• acid batteries (converting chemical energy into electricity)
• peltier devices (converting heat differential energy into electricity)
• induction (converting electrical energy into electricity on a different circuit)
• bioelectricity (using biochemical energy to produce electricity)
• static buildup (using friction between various materials to produce a voltage differential)

I think there's a way to use lasers to generate electricity, too.

A few more:

Delta, there is a god and he's good because nothing in this reality really matters, it's just a test (for us) or experiment (that we are a part of).

Five) after being more hands on in the old times, and trying many different things, god decided to try again elsewhere and just lets shit play out as it will here.

六> We are god experiencing a reality as lesser beings because it gets boring being all powerful and knowing. Any godly effects are done for entertainment purposes rather than making things better or worse.

I'm not very deep into the lore but aren't there other Witcher schools that might not necessarily see the transformation the same way the wolf school came to see it?

These ones plus "this is a duplicate of <link to question that is only kinda related and doesn't address the specific problem being asked in the newer question>".

Fuck busy body moderators. The people you "have power" over can see how stupid and incompetent you are and being able to shut down forum conversations about it doesn't hide it, it just means people know not to bother saying it where you're looking.

Yeah, I agree with the second one. Like ending bigotry would be nice, but assuming everything that can be motivated by bigotry is motivated by it isn't going to accomplish that and ultimately (IMO) is why so many people see "wokeness" as a bad thing (though not discounting that there are a lot of actual bigots out there). I think it was also a factor to why Trump won in 2016 (and Hillary played right into that by acting like she should be president because it was about time there was a woman president, not to mention the DNC uniting to keep Bernie out).

IMO it should be cyclical. Passion provides ideals and goals, reason can help work towards those but also evaluate them and refine them.

Like once upon a time, I wanted a high end sports car. But over time, through reason, I realized that owning one would be more of a net negative than a positive in many ways and now I wouldn't likely get one even if it would be trivial to afford. I'd like to not even need a car at all, but reason has me recognizing that that also wouldn't be a positive given that I live in an area where mass transit infrastructure is poor.

This boils down to having conflicting passions/goals and using reason to resolve them (like wanting a sports car while also wanting to afford other things and to reduce my environmental impact and not driving a sports car is a very easy way, trivial even, to have less impact than driving one).

They meant they wanted a game set during the conjunction of the spheres but didn't know if witchers were a thing yet at that timeframe in the lore. The wording made it seem like they were talking about your first witcher idea but they were talking about a different alternate timeframe setting they'd like to see.

Yeah, this should probably be approached from the angle of "someone might do this, so we should do research to be prepared".

Research ways to improve containment to reduce the chance of an accidental containment breach.

And research ways to quickly determine the weaknesses of such synthetic lifeforms if a breach happens anyways. Also to be prepared in case someone deliberately weaponizes it.

By the way, this kind of thing is why IMO if we ever do find extra terrestrial life, attempting to make any kind of physical contact or even land on the planet might end up dooming both our own species (and maybe all current complex life on Earth) as well as any complex life on that other planet. They could have basic forms of life that are entirely different from our own and completely invisible to our immune systems.

Though it would probably also have cool results in a few hundred million years, after microbial life has evolved defenses and perhaps some hybridizations.

And to add insult to injury, many of the issues in Windows are just "I don't want to do this the way MS wants everyone to do this."

I bet it's being deliberately underfunded and/or mismanaged to support an eventual attempt to privatize.

Couldn't just ssh in to the school machines when you weren't in the lab?
