  It depends a bit on your scope. If you think of obligate carnivores as typically very large, possibly apex predators, then they might not be preyed on much in the traditional sense. But carnivores also number insects, arachnids, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and lots of smaller mammals like weasels, bats or cats that are themselves prey to other animals.

  The point is that being ‘predator’ does not exclude an animal from also being prey. ‘Predator’ and ‘prey’ describe relationships, not mutually exclusive categories.

  Teeth will tell you about the animal’s own diet - not whether it’s being preyed upon. Carnivores and omnivores are preyed on as well.

  Headlines need to not mislead, yes. But people also need to read beyond headlines.

  Isn’t schnoodle the famous one? A repost bot could help out I guess. Though it would probably loose that organic feel.

  The first hitman movie was at least… like, kinda fun?

  I remember bursting out laughing when he’s about to bang some lady and instead just jabs that giant syringe in her neck.

  Oh, I was thinking “space” as in time and space. About to argue how, by that logic, nothing happens in space.

  Are homonyms/homophones more common in English? As a non-native speaker, I remember the vowel shift causing more trouble at first. Also, rules for shortening/combining words can be tricky. They’re/their is the obvious example. But then there’s won’t, where the apostrophe doesn’t simply substitute a letter in two words that work independently. And it’s/its is very confusing, as possessive is normally also marked with 's. Is/are is a whole new thing if your native language doesn’t distinguish.

  Razer is great at covering the exact feature-set I want in a product. Fell for it with the Viper Ultimate and got a creaky, grainy button feel and a rubber coating that quickly wore down and felt slimy. Then I bit the bullet with the Barracuda headset, which went straight back. The thing was bulky, hollow, creaky, flimsy, had poor 2,4 ghz range… I keep telling myself to not fall for it, and then I’m in the market for something, and some Razer product just seems to tick the boxes. NEVER AGAIN!(?)

  I’ve been thinking our ‘oiliness’ might be one of our most striking characteristics. If I wipe a finger over any smooth surface, I leave residue. Our exteriors are incredibly greasy compared to most technology.

  Just looking up what ‘preproduction’ actually means : They are in the planning stages, but they haven’t started ‘making’ the game yet. Cyberpunk (1) development took four years.

  Some people want to see/show off the logo. Off-brand cases can’t have the Apple logo on them, so it’s a compromise of sorts.

  That’s all in the linked wikipedia article

  I appreciate you spelling some of it out, because I’m just curious and don’t have the background knowledge to really navigate this.

  There must be a minimum non-zero amount of energy required for a given quantity of information.

  Okay, but I still don’t get how that leads to a standardized measure of energy/mass for a given amount of bytes. That seems to be the premise of the comic.

  information has mass independent of its physical representation.

  So what is the mass of a byte of ‘pure’ information? And how do you derive it?
