That's my take on it too. It could just be natural selection - noisy, young Civs get eaten by the big bad space predator, while inherently quieter Civs survive.

So the universe could be full of life but it's the sort of life that doesn't attract attention.

There doesn't even have to be a "big bad" in this situation either, it could simply be that the sort of life that creates noisy Civs, is also the kind of life that ends up annihilating itself before it gets advanced enough to be able to make contact with others. That sort of crosses over into the Great Filter though.

This is from The Never Ending Story, Op's pic is from the Dark Crystal isn't it?

Or are you just adding this to the trauma pile?

This post just keeps on giving.

"bread is the staff of life" is a real phrase though.

Shark facts aside, the fact that Polaris is a ternary system, rather than a single star has completely blown my mind.

I believe Starling Bank and Monzo both do virtual cards (looks like you need to pay for a Plus account in Monzo but it comes free with Starling).

This has to be canon right?

I think what you're asking about is called Archeological context.

The basic gist is that archeologists will be able to date not just the find itself, but the soil it's in and other potential finds within the same layer of soil/around the site.

So you're right, if you just found two Roman swords on a bench in the Cotswolds, you probably couldn't infer from that that the Roman military had definitely been present. But if you find them in a specific layer of soil along with other Roman artifacts, that starts to build up context around the find. The more evidence you collect, the better able you are to put a date on when the swords arrived at your site.

The prince of wales mostly

I can't remember the deep lore now, but I always thought bacta worked on contact? Like, if you have a cut, bacta works from the outside until the skin is healed etc.

So if you wanted to cure a hangover you'd need to get it inside somehow.

Like with an enema or something.

Don't know about terraria specifically, but it's a sliding scale of how you like beef cooked right?

The mid section is the usual meat doneness from Well done to Rare

Going up it parodies loot rarity types from Rare to Mythic (maybe Unreal is one too?). The idea is that, going "more rare" than rare beef is

• Rare - Rare beef
• Epic - raw beef
• Legendary - Live cow
• Mythic - All the ancestral cow-like creatures that evolved into cow
• Unreal - The primordial ancestor of all life on land

Coffee Black > Romulan Ale

Sorry, I'm just not into Romulan Ale :/

I'm making a note here: huge success

It's under Filters, if you just search in settings you'll see different types of filter, instance/community/user etc.

Essentially yes, it's called the Right to Erasure or the Right to be Forgotten. If the user is in a country that adheres to GDPR and the company controlling the data operates in a country that also uses GDPR, then that right applies.

The only reason Google/Gmail wouldnt delete (or wouldn't be able to delete) some of your data would be if they had a lawful or legitimate basis for holding onto it.

I can't think of a reason Google would give for hanging on to your data but that doesn't mean there isn't one, but they'd have to notify you of that reason as part of their response to your request.

Or Otto? OttoMod?

What does the bot do?

Rule number 1 for the instance is "Be respectful..." which I think covers most cases here.

It's possible to be respectful while using "vulgar" language and vice versa etc.

:nods sadly:

"the end is close, I think"
