You’re welcome! Folding@home is the big one, and the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search is also pretty popular (though IMHO a waste of resources for a relatively useless result). But I just looked into this topic myself after posting that comment, and turns out there’s a huge list of such “volunteer computing” projects: en.wikipedia.org/…/List_of_volunteer_computing_pr…
So while Folding@home is a great one and medical scientific research, you might pick something else from that list. Perhaps more than one!
Now the confession: I’m a hypocrite. I never ran any of these volunteer computing projects on my own PCs. But that’s partly because I tend to shut them off every night, so a lot of the usable time for it isn’t really usable. The other part is basically that I never bothered to do it.
But I think after this conversation reminded me of it, I might look into installing it on my PC!

At that point you might as well run Folding@home on your PC just to act as a heater. It’s literally a win-win for you and for society.

It appears that your habit for pedantic comments is as strong as ever!
- Comment on Are there video media (e.g TV shows, Movies, anime, video games, youtube videos, etc...) with a majority of the dialogue in an fictional language? 1 week ago:
Spoilers about Tunic's language
The writing in the game is actually an alternate way to write English phonetically/phonemically. So the game technically is in English but you can’t understand it. There are guides on how to read it, but it always seemed like too much effort for me so I never did.

Seems like you have a tendency to get terrible jobs. Try the George Costanza method: whatever your instincts tell you to do, do the opposite! You’ll be working at the New York Yankees in no time.

Or perhaps, hear me out here, we could dedicate an entire field of science to understanding human biology, and train many people in this subject as professionals. They will be qualified to, among other things, examine a patient and determine objectively that they are deceased with no chance of revival. They can then verbally communicate this fact, or in other words, “pronounce” that the patient is dead.
idk I’m just spitballing here.

Who says he’s cleaning though? It just says he’s about to “start on her teeth”, this could be an operation or an investigation into a complaint or anything else that a dentist would do.

Funny, I just wish the image wasn’t so horribly compressed. I can’t even see the 4 gills on Facebook’s one.
Also, why does Apple get 9/10 and Samsung only 8/10 when they’re pretty much identical in terms of accuracy?

- Comment on Is there a decent, offline Android text editor/IDE for c# programming. 1 month ago:
Yup, I only switch to it when I really need to. That’s when typing code, commands, or mathematical stuff. It’s got quick access to so many characters!
⌊π⌋∈ℕ
Every character in that line is instantly available in the math layout.

Yeah, I upvoted it too
- Comment on Is there a decent, offline Android text editor/IDE for c# programming. 1 month ago:
I agree. It’s only usable for coding and Termux. For everyday typing I use Gboard, but plenty of other options are available.

Surely it’d be easy to just find an actual stock photo to use here. But it doesn’t matter because the background just needed to be Whatever.
That write-up is well worth the read.

- Comment on Is there a decent, offline Android text editor/IDE for c# programming. 1 month ago:
I use Acode: GitHub / F-Droid / Play Store
It’s got everything you could want from a text/code editor, comparable to Notepad++ on Windows.
I’ve tried Squircle CE in the past but I didn’t like it, though I don’t remember why.
For typing code, I highly recommend Unexpected Keyboard: GitHub / F-Droid / Play Store
And if you do want to use git, Termux is the easy pick: termux.dev/en/ . It can also easily run Python scripts with full functionality, but I wouldn’t know about C#.
