Me too! Am I finally part of the cool and hip Lemmy gang now‽

It’s fascinating to me that nobody has yet responded to one of these with:

Luigi, once again delivering us from ghosts and ghouls living in mansions!

Or maybe they literally one have that one guy/gal installing the railings throughout the entire Republic‽

So do I understand correctly that a certain hox gene is activated in basically all cells which are in the “domain” of a certain vertebrae and they all activate some subset of homeobox genes which in combination with the original hox gene cause them to start turning into all the different parts associated with that vertebrae (so organs and other structures)?

Would we then need an entirely new hox gene to produce even a single gill? (I know you basically just laid out most of a response to this question.) Because I would assume although the exact point at which the development of our arms and legs begins is part of the whole hox gene “superstructure”, but couldn’t we ‘basically just’ highjack this same system and duplicate this gene to produce at least a single gill in the region where the current hox gene for our neck is expressed?

Long story short: what is the biggest reason why we can’t just hack into a later part of the sequence and continue on from there with what you said?

Or would your proposed plan also just end up like this in the final product and you laid it out like this because it’s already the most viable route into this mess? 😅

And that’s the thing:

Assuming it did, you couldn’t see it approach until it hit you because it’s moving at the speed of light! It could also have happened, but just super far away such that it will never reach us due to expansion between its origin point and us being faster than c!

Also just because the universe is frickin old doesn’t mean it is statistically bound to have happened. There are plenty of ways of making it even more astronomically unlikely but still possible…

No no! They were talking about the police chili last night! That was some serious ass-suicide this morning …

Have fun solving them! :D

Your likely looking for the app “Puzzles” ob Android or one of its desktop versions, I am not entirely sure if they are actually open source but there are at least some people’s contributions and it not only has “Killer” sudoku but a whole bunch of additional options (as well as tons of other awesome puzzle/logic games)!

Nah even statistics is perfectly logical and right, but not because truth is absolute (there may be such a thing, but we definitely don’t have access to it in that case. [At this time?]), but rather because math defined there to be a way in which all you derive from it is ‘absolutely’ true. It just might be ‘absolutely’ true in a system that isn’t ours, or isn’t useful for answering anything we want to ask…

Okay that’s the first argument I could almost accept except typing this response I remember kg which is already one example of a unit getting something semi-special in that it always has its prefix with it!

But other than that good argument there ^^

And I will continue to demand it should! But yeah, sadly it’s not…

Also the way worse option of we had work often comes into play from people who lived in the Soviet Union and now have a stable job: everybody had to work or you were homeless/starved! Nobody could slouch off of my hard earned tax money and live a comfy life!

Which is like, what? The bare minimum socialism a country could have aka “if you are out of work (hopefully temporarily but we’ll see) we are at least not letting you starve completely/immediately” is somehow too much now‽

Except a kid like that automatically has a free pass for eternally being pissed about their father and their father before them not also having had that name so they could be "… the third’!

Not quite, for Java you still need the Factory part at the end!

Wait which part? (Also don’t get too explicit because NSFW and also that’ll kill the fun)

Cause I can’t currently imagine which part exactly you say is kinda like sand… (Granted in a bag)

I might need to ask my friend where best to find one then and try it :D

Except even the best specialty coffee I had (and trust me I had some good ones because a friend of mine went down that same rabbit hole you probably went down and wanted me to try) still had way too many acids in it which meant it tasted great until it again turned my entire mouth to ash and grey bitterness…

So in other words the “primary” taste/body of coffee can get really great, but it’s still not worth the bitterness after.

On first glance I was actually reminded of FesZ Electronics!
