Damn, you definitely didn’t catch their pretty side

Haste makes waste - if you want quality content, let the dev and their team take the time they need.

I wonder how many of those people were a legitimate threat to the police officers’ safety such that literally no other method of restraint was possible?

Injecting someone with a high, potentially lethal dose of sedatives seems like a tool that should be used sparingly with up most care, yet these deaths prove they’re doing no such thing.

The stem - even if the other side is more optimal, I hate the brown bit, so I prefer to open at the stem (which isn’t usually that hard) and throw that part away when I get to the end.

Actually “rationalising the pipeline” would be getting rid of all the massively overpaid execs, rather than the people who actually make the Take-Two execs their money

As I said before, I was focusing on all the replies that were around when I first commented that were commenting on/advocating for Trump - that is why I said “I’m surprised how many people think Trump of all people is going to somehow handle to both Ukraine and Israel better than Biden”, because that is the sentiment I saw.

I can see how that would look like an attempt to shield him from criticism, but at the same time I don’t think I’m wrong in saying it doesn’t really matter - unless you want Trump in the Whitehouse again, Biden is the only choice…

I’m not saying I like the fact that the only two candidates we have are basically “allow the genocide to continue for the foreseeable future” or “escalate the genocide, and let Russias do what they want to Ukraine”, but that is what we’re stuck with.

The word you’re looking for there is “yet”, and that “yet” would be doing a whole lot of heavy lifting.

I’ll defer back to my initial comment - if you want to let Trump in and find out, you’d better be ready to shut it when he does worse.

That’s odd, because if you bothered to look any further down you actually would see comments talking about Trump, and there were more before.

But that aside, you’ll find that’s because I’m not advocating for Biden - any more progressive candidate would’ve been better, but that’s not what we got. What I AM advocating is against Trump - I hardly think I need to explain why.

Since it’s basically impossible for an independent to win, if you don’t want Trump, your only option is Biden. That’s it, whether we like it or not.

Damn, you must’ve dug deep for that scathing nickname - but do you seriously think I’m wrong?

It doesn’t matter what could have happened, who could have done what, the situation is that your choices are Biden or Trump, and one of those is a whole lot worse than the other, despite what some other people commenting on this post think.

Well somebody ought to tell them that they should maybe put that +1000% margin they make on their drugs into that rather than lining their pockets.

God forbid the executives make a little less money - won’t somebody think of those poor multi-millionaires! /s

At the point where Putin can quite easily have any popular opposition stricken from the ballot, imprisoned, or worse still coincidentally fall from a building or endure some “freak accident”, is there all that much use in pretending any opposition ever had a chance to win?

Ignoring the fact that you’re clearly high as a kite - it’s all tricks your brain does to conserve resources. Without any focus or filter, your brain would very quickly spread it’s resources too thinly, and subsequently burn out.

It is much easier for your brain to process a lot of data about a small number of things, than a small amount of data on many, many things.

True, I’d never laugh at some that got done in by life - but they made their own bed doing something obviously stupid, so I have no qualms laughing

That’s the theoretically part - there are processes that will capture the energy generated that would’ve otherwise become heat, but that only affects the timeliness. Given enough time, all workable energy generated by a heater would become heat, even if you had to wait for the matter itself to decay trillions of years from now when all the stars have long since breathed their last breath.

Also has somebody watched Technology Connections by any chance?
Heat pumps are so cool - if you showed onw to someone even a hundred years ago, even knowing what electricity was, they’d think it was magic.

Because it will always take more energy to break the water than you will get burning the Hydrogen in Oxygen back into water - it’s basic thermodynamics.

You will lose some energy as heat that you cannot get back*.

You can’t power a car from a process that loses energy. Even if you use a battery to donate the lost energy, then you might as well just cut out the lossy middleman and just run off the battery or generate the Hydrogen elsewhere - which is what we currently do.

It is better to think of Hydrogen as an energy transporter than as a fuel, as you’d need to generate the Hydrogen somewhere that has abundant energy (ideally renewable), then transport I where needed, such as a Hydrogen powered generator.

*Interestingly the fact that all processes generate waste heat means the only theoretically 100% energy efficient process is heat generation itself, as all forms of energy eventually degrade to heat (as it is essentially the universe’s waste energy).

Pretty much…

Recessive malfunctions can hide away amongst carriers for generations before manifesting any deformities, during which time they have no effect on the carrier’s survival, so there’s very little selective pressure against them.

Dominant malfunctions which cause deformities simply can’t hide away, so have enormous selective pressure against them.

Interestingly enough though, there are times where dominant malfunctions can survive that pressure…
For example, having Sickle cell disorder increases your resistance to Malaria, so even though the full form is rarely passed on, the single allele form (which caused partial disorder) is passed on due to a slight positive selection pressure.
