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.

Sadly, the design is unfeasible as eventually the rotational force either separates the bread from the butter, or liquidises the internal organs of the cat when they reach peak generating speed.

The rapid disassembly of the mechanism can cause quite an amount of damage as well.

Statutory minimum of 5.6 weeks in my country.

Meat is generally spiced more heavily in warm climates because it spoils faster and hot spices both preserves meat by killing bacteria and disguise a certain degree of spoilage.

I would be surprised if the trend towards hot spices in a country that is generally both warm and humid is because of a difference in palette rather than the reasons above.

how much fake seafood do you see engineered out there?

Crab sticks are usually fake, but generally, fish is harder to immigrate accurately than other meats, and there's less demand for it since people in the west don't generally eat tons of fish anyway.

Less demand for real fish means less demand for imitation fish, though there is apparently a company somewhere making lab grown salmon and tuna.

The fake stuff (and cultivated meat for that matter) are getting closer to parity every year. You don't go back to something "for the taste", if the alternative you switched to offers a near identical experience.

I don't want to stop eating meat, I want to stop the exploitation and suffering of animals.

While I want to stop the exploitation of animals more than I want to eat meat, if there is a path that allows me to do both, I will have a preference for that path.

The same goes for leather. It's use isn't worth what has to be done to create it, but it is a fantastic material with a lot of versatility that's better than near all alternatives in plenty of applications. Fake leather and synthetic leather are wonderful innovations because we can enjoy the benefits without the negatives, and that's something to be encouraged rather than avoided.

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.

AI has been able to do fingers semi-reliably for months now

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.

Our chance to play fallout irl.

NATO has a standing army of ~3.4 million soldiers, and they do not have the ability to equip significantly more on short notice. If you live in a NATO country your chances of being conscripted are minimal even in the event of a conflict breaking out.

Any conflict requiring significantly more than current forces and volunteers could provide would in all likelihood end in nuclear annihilation, in which case there's no need to worry about the draft.

Attacks on factories supplying war materials to a belligerent party in a conflict has always been legal.

If Russia was going to do it, they would have done so already.

Further, the moving of NATO specialists into Ukraine of course makes them legitimate targets, but that only matters if Russia has the ability to accurately strike wherever it is they are being hosted. Unless these classes are being held on the frontline, Russia has demonstrated no capability to do so.

Hot air like this only serves to make the speaker look less credible.

Researchers need to afford to live, and that money comes from research grants. If this was even a problem, which it isn't, the root cause is capitalism.

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?

10,000 gold a year is enough to support ~14 people at a comfortable standard of living, it's not exactly buy a kingdom levels of money.

Child sexual abuse materials. Vile shit

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