I have no proof, but I feel like the AI push and Turnip getting re-elected and his regression of the EPA rules sounds like this whole AI thing was an excuse to burn more fossil fuels.

If I was invested in AI, and considering AI’s thirst for electricity, I would absolutely make a similar investment in energy. That way, as the AI server farms suck up the electricity I would get at least some of that money back from the energy market.

Based on what I remember from my biology class, many traits are decided by dominant vs recessive genes. The genes in your DNA are arranged in pairs. Your parents each provide you with one half of that pair.

• Recessive genes require both genes to be the same to be expressed.
• Dominant genes only require one to be expressed.

Let’s assume that tallness is the dominant gene and being shorter is the recessive gene.

If your father has one gene for being more than 182 cm and one gene for being less than 170 cm, he will be tall because the gene for tallness is dominant. If your mother has two genes that both select for being less than 170 cm tall, she will be noticeably shorter than your father because she has two recessive genes.

If your father gave you his recessive gene and your mother gave you one of her recessive genes, you would be noticeably shorter than your father.

This can also happen when both parents are tall but each of them carries both the dominant (tallness) gene and the recessive (shorter) gene. If they each provide only the recessive gene to their offspring, the result is an offspring that is significantly shorter than their parents.

I would spend billions of dollars ensuring that Trump dies poor and homeless.

Not clanker but simply: Clank!

The answer, at least in my experience, is that schools offer classes throughout the day and it is up to the student to select classes that fit onto their schedule. Unless a class is only offered in the morning, it is entirely possible to attend classes that do not start before noon and still get a degree.

Try to think of how a bad actor might use what you are suggesting to steal someone’s identity. The trouble with any identity verification system is not just how inconvenient it is, but also how criminals will try to abuse the system.

Some kind of entity would have to be in charge of storing and verifying the DNA data. Once that database is created, there will always be the potential for exploitation. Also consider what happens if, or more likely when, that entity changes hands and is run by new people with new agendas? That might not work out so well for the people in that database.

The government has my fingerprints and my drivers license photo. I am not interested in sharing that with any for-profit company. I would be even more resistant to anyone wanting to collect my DNA regardless of the reason.

It’s because their religion has taught them to trust religious leaders without question. They have faith that the church knows what is best for them and their community. They tend to not use critical thinking when it comes to religious matters.

People often have a similar faith in their parents judgement. If Mom or Dad asks them to do something that seems foolish, many people will still do it simply because of the unquestioning trust they have for their parents.

Did I just get Cold-rolled?

There are two answers to your question.
Most password cracking operations target a database of user accounts in bulk. As long as the hacker is not targeting your friend specifically, they should be fine.
If your friend is the target, one or two successful hacks could make their other passwords vulnerable.

Maybe change it up a bit? Decide that when you drink, you will only drink premium beer. Refuse to buy anything but expensive beer that is not on sale. After buying a few of those, your desire to save money will begin to heavily influence your desire to buy it at all. This has the added benefit of making all of the cheap beers seem sub-standard and not worthy of purchase.

Yes, it’s normal.

I think the part you need to try now is to forgive yourself. You were six. You would likely not make the same choice today. That event is in the past. Try to leave it in the past. You can not go back.

We all have regrets. We try to learn from our mistakes as best we can and move on. That is all we can do.

That was the plan for this administration all along. Trump is a Russian asset. He has never been interested in helping Ukraine achieve peace.

The framing gets sealed and protected from moisture. It is not exposed to the outside. Exterior exposed wood is either pressure treated to resist rot, is a species that is naturally rot resistant, or it is painted.

Remember, the article is talking about altering wood to be both transparent and biodegradable. That sounds like a window to me. That is a role that is currently filled with either glass or plastic. You would not choose a biodegradable material for exterior use and most windows are used on the outside of a structure.

I’m skeptical of this for two reasons.

1. The thing that makes plastic as a building material so useful is that it takes forever to degrade. Biodegradable building materials seems like it would be counterproductive and make the problem worse, not better.

2. So far, every time some new variety of biodegradable plastic comes along, it turns out to be a big fat lie.

But that is the thing. Trump is the ONLY president in the last 70 years to publicly express an interest in this. Considering Trump’s apparent loyalty and dedication to Putin, I have to assume that this is entirely Putin’s idea. Trump is too stupid to come up with this plan on his own and acquiring Greenland only makes sense if the end game is to cut ties with Europe and strengthen ties with Russia. Otherwise, it’s more beneficial to the US to let Denmark be responsible for governing there.

Fuck Trump and Fuck Putin! They are both a cancer on the world and we will all be better off when they are both gone.

Translation: Denying interest in this tells me that this has everything to do with Russia.

Prior to Russian puppet “Trump” talking about taking over Greenland, I had not ever heard of a US interest in having more control over that area. The US already has a military base with a naval port there. Unless the plan is to break a bunch of treaties and destabilize Europe, there would be no need for the US to annex Greenland.

Isn’t it about time for Putin to fall out of a window?

The problem is money, trademarks, and brand identities. You only associate Playstation with video games because it has been around for a long time. I remember when those came out. Prior to 1994, Playstation was not a thing.

Creating a new standard to unify and simplify things seems like a good idea, but the result usually only adds to the confusion. Relevant XKCD.

I would hold up my hands and show all seven of my fingers.

Because Warner Brothers owns the rights to all DC games right now and nobody at Warner has any idea how to actually produce good video games. The Arkham games were good because they came out before loot boxes and online-only games were a thing. Now if a game doesn’t earn a billion dollars in the first year, the game is considered a failure.
