Is the Valve Index really that unpopular? Or is it not included in the list for some reason?

Nope, he had no plans to infect them. The babies had parents who were HIV-positive.

It’s crazy that people are trying to make this comparison. They are worlds apart. Notice how the post and most people talking about it aren’t discussing what he actually did? Because the situation gets a lot murkier when you learn the details.

“Experimenting on babies” - What?! That’s unethical and immoral! Must be junk science with no benefit!

“Made babies at risk of HIV immune to it” - Well… That’s good for the babies, but maybe he should have gone through proper channels.

He used CRISPR to make babies immune to HIV.

The fact that people believe this was real shows that even the most basic media literacy is fucking dead.

Why are people so bad at recognizing obviously fake shit?

Not a single millennial was old enough to vote for Clinton. Barely any were old enough to vote for Bush, even during his second term.

Do not lump millennials in with that mess. We didn’t make it, we were just forced to grow up with it.

Name a non-US country in the Americas that is not

1. Are already closer to fascism than the US
2. Currently threatened by the US
3. Poverty stricken and lacking basic infrastructure (electricity, plumbing, internet) to a majority of the country.

If someone I don’t like or interact with says they support me, that is not me “teaming up” with them.

The President is behind him too. I don’t like either of them, but I can see why people would want to take a picture.

People hate whenever Brave is mentioned… But when it comes to privacy, I have not regretted my decision to use it

Hard no. Extremely hard no. This is the kind of crap our parents would make and serve.

For anyone with taste buds, let’s be abundantly clear on something: steaming vegetables is perhaps the WORST way to cook them.

Unless you are eating them raw, or using them as an ingredient in a larger dish, almost all vegetables should be roasted/grilled to bring out and caramelize their natural sugars. Steaming them strips away a lot of the nutrients and flavors, leaving you with tasteless mush. Like you’re cooking the soul out of them and leaving only a sad memory of what they could have been.

I mean, he was incredibly rich. That probably helped.

Maybe recognize that your partner doesn’t ascribe as much meaning to arbitrary dates and that silently expecting them to do something is a toxic mentality. I hope you realize you’re not teaching them any sort of lesson, you are intentionally setting yourself up to be disappointed/upset at your partner for not following the rules of a game they didn’t know you were playing.

Especially these days. Don’t you think it’s possible they have other things on their mind? I know I do. Between trying to figure out how to pay bills, figuring out how to save a little so we can retire some day, thinking about how stressful my job is, thinking about all the chores that need to be done, worrying about the health of myself and my family, worrying about car/home repairs, keeping insurance/registrations/enrollments/appointments/documents all up to date, and the endless struggle of what we’re having for dinner tonight; there’s just not a whole lot of mental space left for reading my partner’s mind and fulfilling their unspoken expectations.

You say this has been happening for years. Ever think that it’s just not something that’s going to change? That you’re expecting a fish to climb a tree unprompted and then getting upset with the fish when it doesn’t?

Grow the fuck up. Be a partner to your partner. How hard is it to say “Hey, I’d like to feel special on Valentine’s Day. It’s important to me.”?

No, they used Telegram because they’re idiots and don’t understand privacy.

So folks have already explained the stick, but you’re actually somewhat close to one of the ways you can sort of bend the rules of FTL, at least when it comes to a group of photons.

Instead of a stick, imagine a laser on earth pointed at one edge of the moon. Now suddenly shift the laser to the other side of the moon. What happens to the laser point on the moon’s surface?

Well, it still takes light speed (1.3 seconds to the moon) for the movement to take effect, but once it starts, the “point” will “travel” to the other side faster than light. It’s not the same photons; and if you could trace the path of the laser, you’d find that the photons space out so much that there are gaps like a dotted line; but if you had a set of sensors on each side of the moon set up to detect the laser, they would find that the time between the first and second sensor detecting the beam would be faster than what light speed would typically allow.

It’s not exactly practical, and it’s such an edge case that I doubt we can find a good way to use it, but yeah; FTL through arc lengths can kind of be a thing. At least if you tilt your head and squint funny at it.

Cuz even if I’m semi-conscious, I’m still in my warm cocoon of heavy blankets where there are no problems and no people to bother me. There are some mornings I would give up nearly anything for just 5 more minutes.

It makes me sad that so few games utilized the potential of the WiiU gamepad. There was this game called Zombie U that managed to really show how incredible it could be. There was a mode where players would be in a zombie wave survival arena except 1 player would instead be controlling the spawns via a map on the gamepad. They could see where the other players were, where the weak spots were, and had their own progression tree to unlock better zombies.

Yea, torrents. Sure. Lol.

Cherry picked and edited to give bad answers. Go play around with any of the big models, you’ll be bored and disappointed because 99.9% of the time it will give you exactly what you ask for.

Except Gemini. Gemini is a drunk.
