That is still what we do with criminals

Haha

Police in Europe are less fucked up than in the US but generally still suffer from all the same sorts of problems, they're still pigs

The Tokoeka (North Island Brown Kiwi) has never been gone from the wild, there's always been over 20,000 in the wild, mostly in Northland, Coromandel, Te Urewera, and Tongariro. The Southern Tokoeka is also hanging on alright in Rakiura (Stewart Island) and a little in Fiordland. The Roroa (great spotted) and little spotted are near extinct in the wild, the little one particularly is totally wiped out from the North Island and mostly only found on predator free island sanctuaries now.

skill issue tbh

He often lets stuff slip straight from the id tbh

then it should be good enough for ICE

How embarrassing for you that you still think they give a fuck about what would be proof or not lol

Nor do you in most countries. Generally, a passport is the most authoritative form of identification.

No they aren't lol, nothing alive now is descended from anything else alive now.

They are somewhat related in the broad scheme of things, but not that close when you dig a bit deeper. They share a common ancestor about 400 million years ago (1, 2), whereas we share a common ancestor with them about 530 million years ago. Considering the more than 2 billion year history of life, you could say we are almost as related to them as they are to each other. It's true that this was during the Cambrian explosion (3) so we are about as distantly removed from them as animals can be, and differentiation of biological features slowed down a bit after that, but still, true insects and the kinds of crustaceans we mostly eat like shrimps and lobsters have been on different branches of the evolutionary tree for most of the history of animals.

Of course we (humans) do eat many land insects too, like crickets and so on.

Here's a fun zoomable graphic I found while looking up the dates: https://www.onezoom.org/life/@Pancrustacea=985906?otthome=%40%3D770311#x-28,y311,w0.8390

I read it, it didn't feel very convincing to me. I wish them luck with the project for sure, more options are always better, but I don't think companies not spending money on it is sabotage, and I don't really trust their thing about persecution given the weird anti-DEI rant. This has the smell of https://xkcd.com/1357/ all over it.

Nobody wants to "hinder progress" on x11, there's just not much point focusing resources on a deprecated project...

I guess they are, there's for sure something to that, but at the same time these quantum or relativistic phenomena really can't be described accurately in simple words

Hey, chemistry to programming pipeline buddies! Sounds just like me, although I took university far enough that it did define me a bit more.

I think I'd rather hang out with a skeptic than someone dumb enough to believe crystals have healing energies

In the absence of any other information at all, sure I guess I agree, but like basically anything else is more important than this, like being a caring person, being fun to talk to, etc.

See you're looking at it from the point of view that it would serve the player experience, but that's not what it's for, it's to mine your data

This could end up with D super majorities, a progressive president, and no excuses not to actually fix shit when we get the chance.

Watch literally nothing happen

I worked in France for a while and I deeply agree with everything you said... Except μ is by far the most useful Greek letter since it is used as a prefix for units of measurement, e.g. μm, μL, etc.

Also the Swiss layout is even worse, it combined all the bad features of the French and German keyboards and then just moves around all the symbols a bit more for good measure.

Atoms are most stable when they have a certain number of electrons around them, described as "having a full shell". A neutral chlorine atom is one electron short of having a full shell, and a neutral sodium atom has one electron more than a full shell. Therefore, neutral chlorine will rip an electron off just about anything, causing damage, while neutral sodium will push its extra electron away, same deal. That is why they are such reactive chemicals. Once they've done that process they are stable.

Then, as the other poster described, they are oppositely charged, so they are attracted to each other with medium strength, but not strongly bonded, which, to simplify it somewhat, is when atoms share electrons which both of them would like to have.

Yeh, the "strong bonds" actually don't matter, it's the strongly attached electrons
