That’s why she has a scale on one hand, so she can tell which side put more money

You’re not wrong, capitalism has a million failings, but the people running the show always find new ways to keep the status quo. They can buy the system whenever needed, while the masses can, at best, get a free beating from the cops

And then you have Capcom, who put fucking denuvo years AFTER a game’s release

What really annoys me is the endless stream of scam, “earn money fast with 1 simple trick” ads

It’s literally a scam every single time and trying to report those fall into deaf ears (or blind algorithms) because hey, they’re paying to be shown, why should any high ranking executive care? “Oh, I can’t be held responsible, sorry!”

So it’s theoretically possible that some of those anaerobic bacteria survived for 4 billion years and are plotting revenge against us right now?

Nah, the solution is getting rid of the phone. Even without carefully crafted software for maximum engagement, it’s way too easy to waste time on pointless shit online

Honest question: how do the typical bees (the big ones used for honey production) negatively affect native bee populations? Competition for polen?

If you see ripples, you’re about to die.

Yeah, but from which threat? Snake? Spider? Swimming kangaroo?

So I guess that’s partly why most mammals’ milk glands are in the abdomen. Other than primates, I only know that elephants also have mammaries on the breasts

Hell, we’ll even try to domesticate things that are anything but cute, like crocodiles, fish and spiders

Why do conspiracy idiots always throw in Egypt into everything? Is it the only country they ever heard of?

Using 10 beagles, the team performed 5 days of social experiments on pairs of unfamiliar dogs and humans. Participants wore electroencephalogram (EEG) caps to measure brain activity during 3 social interactions: when the human and dog were in different rooms, in the same room but not interacting, and in the same room while interacting, each for 5 minutes at a time. Inter-brain synchronization, the authors found, increased in the frontal and parietal lobes of the brain, both of which deal with attention, during the most intense social interactions like petting and looking at each other. This correlation continued to strengthen over the 5 days.

This is the baseline for comparison in the paper.

Next, the authors repeated the experiment using 13 dogs bred with Shank3 mutations, which are the most common genetic risk factors for ASD (autism spectrum disorder). The Shank3 mutants showed a loss of inter-brain activity coupling during interactions with humans, indicating this connection’s absence. However, 24 hours after administering a dose of LSD (7.5 μg per kg^-1 bodyweight), the authors observed much higher inter-brain correlation in the dogs’ frontal and parietal brain regions, outperforming dogs who had received a saline solution.

kg ^ -1 = 100 grams. So you can read it as 7.5 μg of LSD per 100 grams of dog. As to why that dose, from the paper:

we conducted a pilot study to determine an appropriate LSD dose at 7.5 µg kg−1 bodyweight, as 10 µg kg−1 bodyweight (inferred from previous reports on mice[13]) showed an apparent head-shaking effect, while 5 µg LSD kg−1 bodyweight showed no recognizable effect on the behaviors.

Even wasm relies on javascript and frankly, I see its existence as a failure of many layers. Machine code -> Operating system -> Browser -> WASM (emulated machine code)

Kurumin Linux, which was a Brazilian distro based on Knoppix. This was back in 2006 or so, and that was my first hands-on experience with Linux.

I don’t fully remember whether everything worked out of the box, I think it connected to the internet no problem (cable), but what amazed me was:

1 - It ran off the CD drive without needing to install anything 2 - It had loads of preinstalled utility software 3 - Less than 700MB

A safe exit from Gaza. They just didn’t mention it’ll be one straight to a grave.

The next step after programmer socks

Gimme a fucking keyboard instead of extra screen size

One is even called pika, so that checks out

20-ish, rather. You can still find some legacy systems running some version of VisualBasic on Windows.

Also disagree with op, javascript is the current “lingua franca” of programming. Unless every browser decides to allow scripting in a less shotgun-your-foot language, javascript will remain widely used.
