Among a subset of gamers who care about owning the things that they buy, yes

I wonder if this will affect PAM authentication

It was just as pungent around 2006 and probably earlier.

Hundreds of thousands of maps of the US, tens of images with pindrops, and uncountable cartoon/comic artists for the overall style

And transdimensional catapults are made of Yttrium, who knew?

The AI has done an impressive job of the state borders, and I think that some of the names are an improvement

He parrotted russian talking points again without checking

The simple answer is don’t drink the water: the heavy metal content (particularly lead) is many times higher than you want.

If you go down the filtering route make sure that your filters are accessible enough that changing them isn’t a chore and set reminders so that you always change the filter. It won’t be often enough that you’ll build up a habit for changing them and you really want safe drinking water.

By all means correct me if I’m wrong, but genetic research is a broad field and advancements in one area do not necessarily lead to advancements in others. GMO crops have been around for decades now and I fail to see the value of what these researchers are attempting to do.

No, fluffy mice is not a step in the direction of heat adapted humans.

We already do genetic modification for crops and disease research, bringing back mammoth lookalikes won’t help with that. There is no problem being solved here, the only end goal is chasing headlines to be able to say ‘we brought back mammoths’. It’s a pointless egotistical endeavour that helps no-one.

It’s not going to happen. Genetic experiments on humans is banned in many countries and even if that weren’t the case you’re talking about an enormously expensive social program of intervening in an entire generation at conception. Maybe a few billionaires would do it, but they can afford to live comfortably anyway and they don’t care if a few serfs die of heat exhaustion.

Something productive like finding a fire extinguisher, or productive like recreating fluffy elephants into an ecosystem that no longer exists?

I was being sarcastic, I don’t want bio-engineered humans adapted for extreme heat, I want us to not let our planet get to that point in the first place.

I want them to stop pretending that resurrecting a cold adapted species into an ecosystem that is rapidly melting will do anything productive.

If they want to be helpful they can work out how to engineer humans that can survive 40 degree heat and breathe co2.

If by ‘more pleasant texture’ you mean ‘no texture whatsoever’ then yes, I suppose so.

When your house is on fire you don’t start looking for package holidays to Pompeii, no matter how much you might learn. We have all the knowledge we need to avert the climate crisis, we just need action and resources dedicated to fixing it.

You’re invited because of Trumps rhetoric about annexing you, solidarity against aggressors.

Because it’s giving you the option to do both but there’s no reason to use gif any more, it is obsolete. WebP is no jpegxl, but it’s better than gif.
