It should come out easy enough that a loop of tape around your finger pressed to the back of the cpu should let you lift it right out.

Wipe the back with rubbing alcohol to get the tiny bit of adhesive and you shoukd be good to go.

US corporate and political governance is still far more trustworthy than the Chinese Communist party

Absolutely not. They have different aims and goals, sure, but Republicans lie as often as the Chinese Communist party because everything they say is a lie. US corporations make up lies that aren’t even just twisting reality.

The Chinese Communist party is currently worse because it has full control of the state to enact their lies. That is the only difference right now, but Republicans and their corporate allies are working towards that goal.

Depends on the disability.

Not having a child based only on the child being deaf (who shouldn’t really suffer, but could if never given support) is very different than not having a child because they have something that will cause them immense pain and a death within days or weeks of being born. Then there is a massive spectrum between the two.

It depends, but some a child can also suffer for their entire life if they are born healthy but abused and neglected there will always be reasons for having or not having a child. Having the choice whether or not to carry a pregnancy to term is the important thing, and being denied that choice is wrong.

If the system isn’t built to move it from memory to the disk then it isn’t easy to just move it over. The browser might have the file stored in a way that makes it easy to stop and fastforward or even allow it to play or partially load,. Trying to save a file that might be incomplete is far more complicated than a good old reliable direct download.

Think of it like orange juice. The browser may have stored it in a wide shallow bowl because that works better for the browser, but it would be a pain in the ass to pour into a small cup. Much easier to just pour a new cup of orange juice when it is in an expected format.

Easy for the browser to lookup and fetch, not necessarily the process of writing permanently to the disk.

It gives a rough idea of article length without needing to scroll down. Like remaining time on a video.

If it is a topic I’m interested with a two minute read time there probably isn’t anything of value beyond the headline. If I don’t really care and it is a 30 minute read time, there is a high likelihood that I will lose interest before finishing.

Since I read pretty fast, the estimates tend to be higher than it actually takes, but it still gives me something to use to determine whether I want to start reading.

I didn’t think I agree that it’s condescending.

The context is whether the person asking the question was involved in the process that went wrong and if the person who screwed up should know better. We are probably thinking of different situations, like how ‘bless your heart’ can be positive or negative depending on context.

If one person screwed up, saying ‘we’ comes across as patronizing because it generally means the person asking knew how to avoid the situation and expected the person who screwed up to know as well. Like if someone didn’t disconnect the power to a thing like they are supposed to because they were in a hurry and shocked themselves, saying ‘what should we do next time’ would be condescending. That would be very different than discovering a new fault in a group process and asking a team (adults) what should be done next time. “We found out that the plan to handle case Y didn’t work, how do you think we can prevent it next time” is not condescending because it is being asked to a group of adults (plural) for something new. “How do you think it can be avoided” would also not be condescending if asked for a single person.

It sounds nitpicky, but it is really nuance. Saying ‘we’ when the right thing is known is condescending for adults, but makes it easier for children who are learning to not take it so personally.

The first is problem solving, the second is blaming.

The first is phrased in a way that is condescending for an adult.

You could read the article for their definition of dominant and use it like the rest of us are.

Now explain why somehow our most important trait makes us dominant from a biological point of view.

It allows us to accomplish far more than would normally occur based on our biological limitations.

Your problem is trying to argue based on an academic definition (that is not universally defined) against the common usage of the word dominant and doing a piss poor job of making that clear. Like when someone uses the lay version of theory and then arguing against it based on the scientific definition of theory without making it clear which one you are using.

Because it opens up doing so many different things that impact the world as a whole. Beavers instinctually damn moving water and build homes, but that has been their limited behavior for thousands of years. They don’t expand out and change things even more and more over time like humans do, because they don’t actively choose to do new things that continuously expand their impact.

That intent and conscious decision making by humans to change the world around them is what makes them special.

We are in no way special when it comes to impacting other species or the Earth as a system.

We do it on purpose, with intent. Heck, we do it for multiple reasons! We also massively impact all parts of the ecosystem at the same time.

Fire and tools were what we needed to become the dominant species, as they gave us power to take down the larger megafauna.

In written media, including scripts, it is just easier for readers to understand sci fi aliens as ‘human but different’ which is along the same lines as why robots are mostly bipedal human shaped. It also allows for stories about humans, since that is the basis for a lot of sci fi stories as well.

So time and effort restrictions too!

There was a clarification that people were still contagious even without a fever and that not everyone who gets covid also has a fever or even any symptoms at all. That would be to address the people who were going to public events because they didn’t have a fever or other symptoms.

Why pretend, we both know perfectly well what this is about. You want me to have an abortion.

When they went CGI they also took 6 roles from any actors because they are having one person do all the motion capture.

This is entirely Disney’s fault for missing the point about steretypes and making it about casting so they could hire fewer actors.

He is in no way responsible for a movie he criticized. His entire point is that negative stereotypes are a thing and Disney should be improving in more areas than just skin tone.

Even the positive reviews of the games have criticism of how the story is implemented and that the gameplay drags. But on steam it is overall positive and it looks like honest reviews far outnumber the culture war bullshit.

Some of the positive reviews have some good criticism of the main character being manipulative and the game not showing authority being evil, just telling you they are. Kinda reads like a good game and story idea with mediocre implementation.

Broken clock blah blah blah.
