While I was playing with it I wondered whether I could somehow make it into a line wallpaper, but then I discovered that there is an app version in the Play Store that has that exact feature.
What the parent means is that in the Tasmanian devils' case it's the cancerous cells of another animal which are transmitted, not some kind of virus or similar that introduces genetic damage in the host. Since the improved/strengthened cell death mechanism introduced by the therapy would only affect your own cells (as the introduced cells wouldn't have the altered genes), there would be no change to the cancerousness of the transmitted cells.
I have to admit that the potential cost of such injuries didn't occur to me until I read your comment. Blissful ignorance of an European enjoying universal healthcare I suppose.
Seems like your formatting was messed up by putting an asterisk in "f*cking", which caused everything to be rendered in italics between that word and the "and" which you actually wanted to be in italics.
I actually think some of his paintings and sketches look quite good for a young artist, who hadn't even received proper training yet. There are some more available on Wikimedia Commons:
I don't understand why it has to be glasses, when the important bit is just a microphone and speaker, and there is no display capability. Would something like AirPods work just as well? According to the website the glasses are light-weight, so they can't hide huge amounts of battery-storage in them either (unless they're not being entirely truthful).
edit: Okay, I just saw that they have Echo Buds too. So I guess this is only for people who already wear glasses, or prefer them for some reason.
I always thought I'd be bothered by a notch, but when my old phone eventually gave up the ghost I saw a great deal for a Huawei phone with a notch, and I immediately got used to the design. I expected to need at least a few days to acclimatize myself, but it was instant, weirdly enough. Now Now it never even enters my mind until I hear someone talking, or see comments, about notches in phones.
Since it's stored very close to the astronauts that shouldn't be a problem. Or rather you'd have a different set of problems if your astronaut compartment was hot and shaky enough to let ammunition go off.
You can have your barely readable display if you want, but other people want to be able to check their messages or read an article/book on their phone while exposed to sunlight. What's bad about that? Doesn't seem to me like staying inside and staring at your phone would be better.
It's amazing how often people mention Gell-Mann Amnesia on Hacker News. Seems like Crichton's strategy of trying to make the term more popular by attaching a famous scientist's name to it paid off.
Frozen vegetables here in Austria more often than not are available in little cardboard boxes. But a lot of them, I think mostly the larger sizes, are also sold in plastic bags.
McDonald's Austria had a feedback promotion, where you got a QR code with your bill, that led you to a very short survey about your experience, at the end of which you received a voucher code for a free Coke. When I got my Coke I noticed that the (0€) bill again had a feedback QR code. Of course I had to try and see whether I could get another free Coke that way. Sure enough it worked, but I never abused it, because after two free Cokes I pretty much got everything I wanted out of it, and it had the added inconvenience of the survey. (Plus I think you had to get the coke at the same restaurant and I was afraid someone would notice.)
It is opt-in, as it says right in the second paragraph and then again further down the page:
If you would like the chance to help DeepMind with its research by matching against AlphaStar, you can opt in by clicking the “opt-in” button on the in-game popup window.
I think 13% hazelnuts, 8.7% powdered milk and 7.4% cocoa[0], are quite a lot more than "traces". Sure it could be better, but then you could say that about 90% of products in the average supermarket.
As the sister comment said, it's still very uncommon to have ACs at home, at least in the germanic countries (Austria in my case). Though with summers like this I've definitely heard more people talking about possibly installing air conditioning, and I myself bought my first fan ventilator last year because I couldn't stand the heat anymore.
Even if that's true, people on the right seem to be more likely to actually follow threats with physical violence. At least this is the case in Germany where the deaths caused by right-wing extremism since the beginning of the 90s number more than a hundred, while there have been only two deaths since 2001 caused by left-wing radicals. Unfortunately the article I read on this didn't have numbers for left-wing violence in the 90s, but I doubt they would make up for this significant difference.
Of course it should count as food waste if you let your milk expire and throw/pour it away (or worse, pour it away because it's past the expiration date, even though it's still perfectly fine)
I only have read the abstract so far, but it seems to me to be written pretty objectively. Could you maybe point out some parts that you feel are examples of bias?
Oh, I interpreted that as "hard work AND despicable actions won the war". I apologise for my dismissive comments in case your interpretation is correct.
