Humans are diploid. We have 2 independent copies of every chromosome in each cell, one from each parent. They function as "backup" copies. If an error is on one, as long as the other one has a good copy of the effected gene, nothing happens. However, if parents are related, it becomes possible to receive two identical (or nearly identical) copies, and lose that backup. In that case, any error/mutations will cause problems.

Well that's another one for the "list of companies that are never getting my money".

Probably an IR receiver module or photodiode.

Unfortunately, this keeps changing. Old slurs get recycled or forgotten, and new words become offensive. Corporate guidelines are often hugely overbroad to avoid offending anyone. The best way to avoid things like what just happened, by checking slang in a dictionary before using it.

Of course there is an xkcd (or rather what if on it)

steal that shit

That's just how the bees pay rent.

Where thinkpad?

IRC, assorted mailing lists and forums, Matrix, Mastodon and occasionally Reddit (blasphemy, I know)

Let them cook, the result is almost guaranteed to be amusing.

You don't even have to learn English, you just memorize a few flags/keywords, no complex grammar or anything.

Excel does this, so that German guy you forwarded a sheet to has to manually replace all the Polish function names before it works

Solvent or solute depending on concentration. The drink however is a solution.

Most power generation methods like coal have similar requirements, and it doesn't have to be clean water. In costal areas, seawater can be used just fine.

Centaur barbarian.

Bad design. These bulbs often run supper hot, resulting in premature failure from electromigration and similar. Some manufacturers are better about this then others, so try another one. Filament style bulbs also tend to run colder, and last a lot longer. (But they flicker and play badly with dimmers)

Wikipedia says that the heating from the focused light is minimal because the retina is surrounded with fluid, similarly to how a balloon filled, even partially, with water won't pop over a candle flame. However, the light itself is damaging, as far UV is ionizing radiation and can rip apart the molecules making up your cells.

And in the end you turned it back to an image.

(d sin(x))/(d x) = sin(x)/(x)

You mean we are not supposed to trick after getting candy? That ruins the fun!

Still, things like content moderation and data analysis, this could totally be a problem.
