We are in a time where a single invention can rarelt be great. For technological development you need thousands of small inventions, each that use previous technological breakthrough through decades of research. And even great things we have, are just refinement and miniaturization of things we already had.

But if a single thing had to be said, I would say mRNA vaccines. Covid vaccines saved milions of lives, were developed in record times, and their technology could be used for HIV or even antitumoral vaccines.

I thought it was something like "get a hooker for your dad", didn't notice it was a shein ad

I'm sorry but I think that's stupid lol. A bear is an incredibly dangerous creature. Being in the woods with a bear means very likely death. A random stranger will likeyly be kind and decently good.

The Kelvin line of movies is 100% non canon in my head. It's good they made a separate parallel universe, so I can pretend it never happened and just go on enjoying the rest of the trek

Is this some kind of "men are dangerous animals" thing?

Everything marketed audiophiles, not only gold plated cables, but also anything that uses vacuum tubes because "they sound better"

Which fuckup, except for DIS season 1?

If developers optimized their apps, we could have phones that are 10x faster than 10 yeara ago. Instead they are the same speed and the same amount of apps fit in the bigger storage, because developers are lazy and use heavy, unoptimized technologies that use 10x the resources

May be, but I don't think apps use it. Afaik Teams, Discord and such are all epectron apps, yet they have not much in term of dependencies and large install sizes, so they must ship with their own versions.

They immeditaly jump back in and get more and more skeletified

Well, to amazon credit, they only offer cloud services. If government officials are dumb enough to store confidential documents in webservers without any authentication, it's not Amazon's fault (also, assuming you find real documents, the fact they are indexed by google, means that those links are also stored on publicly accessible pages, like forums or link directories, that's the only legit way it can be found by google crawlers; that's double dumb)

What works for me is: lay down and relax, close your eyes, but try to not fall asleep, think about stuff you did, about stuff you want to do, whatever, just don't fall asleep. If you manage to maintain a good balance between not relaxing too much and not stressing too much (that's the tricky part), you'll stay in a semi-awake state. Rest like this for 20-30 minutes and you should feel better

That's Hard Pete for ya

Added sugar is bad because we don't need all the sugar we tipically consume.

Eating fruits is healthier because you eat other nutrients (such as vitamins) and fibers that fill you faster make you eat less (while providing other benefits to your gastrointestinal system). A pure friot juice is more filling, contains more nutrients and less calories than sugary water with fruit additives and colorants, because as other said pure sugar is pure energy but doesn't have nutrients, only calories. If you consume very little it's the same (only as in calories) as eating a larger amount of fruits, but the little part is the problem usually.

Eating too much fruit is also unhealthy, and can still be diabetic, it's just much harder, more expensive and less convenient to consume unhralthy amounts of food rather than sugar.

I never undertand the more granular, the scale is in 180 because that's the most precision they could use to manufacture scientific thermometers, nowadays it's completely irrelevant. Celsius thermometers have a granularity of 0.1°C and that is useful soley when you want to differentiate between "almost a slight fever" and "maybe a slight fever". Do you find yourself needing to differentiate between 45 °F and 46 °F?

Unless you have some kind of color blindness, orange is among the most noticeable colors to the human eyes, especially in an urban background

Don't forget people urinating on his corpse

Some professors kept the online exams for convenience (theirs and for the students depending on the type of exam), but did in presence in a university class, they dropped the recording but kept the lockdown environment so you cannot cheat even with your laptop

Depending on your definition of software, 100% is already achieved. UEFI is hardly considerable software as it's highly integrated to the hardware and an open firmware requires open hardware. Of course that depends on your definition of software, which is definitely not universally agreed upon.

If that is the case, considering boot loader, kernel, applications and drivers, a 100% open source software is easily avhievable with any linux system and with other *nix, wich however I don't know much about.

100% open sourcewould be impossible. You can probably use freecad and kicad to make the various pieces, but the moment you need to manufacture your open source design (like RISC-V) on silicon, there's no way to avoid using proprietary cad software. There are like at most 3 softwares that can do that, all and are incredibly complicated and expensive
