The questions you're asking about already exist. Portguese man-o-war are colonies of multiple organisms. Bees and ants are considered superorganisms.
It's not going to happen to humans, if that's what you're asking. The evolutionary incentive simply isn't there to form a superorganism physically, though you could definitely make the argument that society and culture can be interpreted as a superorganism
In organic chemistry, there's a concept called delocalized pi orbitals. The exact reason why it works is complicated and outside the scope of organic chemistry, so I'm not sure if I can really explain it anyways. But the takeaway is that when you see a double bond, single bond, double bond pattern, that generally indicates that the bonds are actually being shared across the entire motif. ie, it's not really a double bond, it's more like... a 1.5-bond.
Having the bonds be shared across multiple atoms gives that region of the molecule special properties, the primary of which is that it tends to be really stable. The reason for that is that any disruption toward that region (eg, adding an electron) gets distributed across the motif, so that each atom is only minorly disturbed.
And the bigger the motif is, the more stable the region is because it's able to distribute disturbances better.
Benzene (the hexagon motif circled) is made exclusively of this double bond, single bond, double bond motif. And as a result, it's well known for being extremely difficult to modify or destroy. You really have to jump through hoops to do any sort of organic chemistry with benzenes. The motif circled in testosterone still has delocalized pi orbitals, but it's not as extensive as a benzene, and so it's less stable

To summarize: paper got published last year that had this as a figure. It got widely ridiculed because there's no way that this figure passed peer review. Turns out the reviewers did point it out but the editor ignored it
They spread and are really really hard to fully kill

It's very simple:
- Learn about primer design
- Forget primer design
- Use a primer designer online
- ???

My understanding is that that was the original intention of the phrase. It's meant to be ironic but then the irony was lost as the phrase got more popular

That's because there are 2 general schools of thought in ethics - relativism and absolutism. Relativism (the idea that morality is intrinsic to the person's experience and understanding) is the one that seems to be the most talked about in general society. I believe in absolutism, the idea that there is a set of guidelines for moral behavior regardless of your experiences or past.
Your example (more formally known as the paradox of tolerance) is what convinces me that absolutism is the better school of thought
You know how there's a ton of subreddits on Reddit that do the exact same thing and like literally all them except 1 or 2 are dead?
Yeah, so that's what's going on here. Those communities just simply haven't been around for long enough to completely die out yet. Just go for the top 1 or 2 communities that have the most subscribers and/or most activity
So I can pitch in here. I was a juror on a trial where jury nullification was talked about. Multiple potential jurors did bring up jury nullification and the final jury contained some members who openly stated that they believed in jury nullification.
The judge and the prosector actually didn't really care that much - the judge just asked the juror something along the lines of "ok, but do you think you can stay impartial for this trial?", and if the juror said yes, they were on the jury. And the prosecutor didn't dismiss anyone.
My understanding is that both the prosecutor and the defense get 10 freebie dismissals - they can dismiss up to 10 potential jurors for any reason. If the prosecutor wants to maximize the chances of getting a guilty verdict, they may potentially try to use those freebie dismissals to get rid of jurors who know about jury nullification. But it seems like, at least in my case, knowing about it (or even openly stating that you believe in it) doesn't automatically disqualify you.
The defense started talking jury nullification halfway through the trial (it was a wild trial), and that was where the judge drew the line. His reasoning was that the it was the judge's role to instruct the jury on their job and role, so the defense cannot instruct the jury on their own about what to do. So it seems like you can talk about jury nullification, just not if you're the defendant.
As for why jury nullification isn't commonplace, the prosecutor will try to convince the jury that the defendant deserves punishment. It doesn't matter if you believe in jury nullification if you also believe that the defendant deserves to be in jail. If the prosecutor doesn't make a convincing argument, then you'd just vote innocent and that's not really jury nullification. So there's really quite a long criteria for jury nullification to occur:
- The jury knows about and believes in jury nullification
- The jury disagrees with a particular law or case but also isn't emotionally charged enough about it so as to remain impartial
- The prosecutor doesn't use their freebie dismissals to get rid of jurors who might be willing to do a nullification
- The jury believes that the law was broken, but is also unconvinced that the defendant deserves punishment
Left over right, then right over left. This creates a proper shoelace knot (aka double slipped square knot). You need to alternate. The alternation creates a self-tightening knot. If you do left over left, left over left (or the other way), then you've just done a granny knot, which will fall apart
Not just that, but the gun was loaded and cocked, and the safety was off. You'd need to have all of these things before the gun is able to fire. So either this guy was extremely negligent or he was planning on using the gun
My understanding was that this game was not covered by the strike, and so the voice actors decided to withhold their work for essentially no reason and with zero union protection. I saw on another article that the voice actors involved knew that the game was not covered by the strike and decided to strike anyways. I'm not entirely sure what they expected.
I'm not saying that the union or Mihoyo are bad, but this issue seems to stem from something else entirely (individual voice actors going rogue and doing an unofficial strike)
You may be misunderstanding what an algorithm is, because I don't see how your post relates to algorithms.
Am algorithm is just a defined series of steps to do something. Doing long division would be an algorithm.
Social media sites need to rank the posts that it shows to users, and it uses algorithms for that. People talk about social media algorothms because social media sites often select an algorithm that is specifically designed to prioritize the posts that keep users engaged. Lemmy has an algorithm. If you're sorting by Hot or Scaled, that's an algorithm. The main difference is that this algorithm is available for people to see and has been selected to actually do what it says it does
I'd say upgrade GPU. Buying a GPU is awful but it's by far the most directly responsible for gaming performance. I'd probably look for an RX 7600 or RTX 4060. Both of them should be around 300 dollars. Also be aware that games are starting to use more VRAM. Both of my recommendations above have 8 GB of VRAM, and that's already not enough for some games. If you have the extra money, it'll certainly be a good idea to spend a bit more to get a 16 GB card (or at minimum, a 12 GB card). Your best options there would probably be RX 7600XT or RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB. Both of those cards should be around the 400 dollar range.
Second priority would be upgrading your storage drives to SSD. Upgrading to SSD's should help with general snappiness, and plus they shouldn't be that expensive at this time. That should be around 100 dollars for 1 TB of SSD, or 50 dollars for 500 GB.
3rd priority is CPU. It's fine, but you might gett CPU bottlenecked in certain scenarios (especially after getting a GPU upgrade). An R5 5600 would be a slot-in upgrade, so you can keep using your other parts. Last I checked (which admittedly was a while back), they're a pretty good deal, at around 120 dollars.
4th priority is RAM. I'd actually say 16 GB RAM is fine for now, but RAM (and especially DDR4 RAM) is super cheap so you might as well upgrade your RAM if you've got the money.
Excuse me parent comment called OP a rndo, that's like the worst swear word ever
Well you can have solar, wind, and hydroelectric without steam, so it's not like you need steam
What's the att/def on your Nicole? I'll trade you mine - just pulled a disappearing Nicole. No idea what the att is, but given that it disappeared from my deck, I must imagine the def is wicked high
