The pine nuts are the seeds that are inside the pine cones. The pinecone being wooden clearly didn’t stop us from prying them apart and eating it’s content

People put pine nuts in salads all the time, it’s also one of the 5 ingredients of pesto.
And why the airplane?

I don’t know, it looks pretty strong. People end up in ER with lightbulbs up their butt, it can’t be weaker than those.

Is there a scientific way to prove this? Or am I to just trust your words?

Anyone who’s a bit inquisitive about what words means will notice that “transform” means “changing shape”, and that the teeth that look like dog fangs are called “canines”. At that point, “caniformia” obviously means “dog-shaped”.
Specialized terms don’t need to be easy for the layman, but to be explicative for the specialist.
Also those Latin terms are literally international terms, a Russian biologist will say “Canis lupus” to an Icelandic biologist and they will understand. So you really have nothing to complain about. Just be glad that Linnaeus used an agnostic language for international terminology instead of using his native language (Swedish) like the anglophones do.

- Comment on Xbox 360/PS3/(to a lesser extent) Wii owners represent 1 month ago:
The PS3 doesn’t have an ATI gpu. TL;DR: it’s Nvidia.
The PS3 has a weird, one-of-a-kind IBM processor, called Cell. You can think of it kind of as a hybrid design that is both a CPU and a GPU (not like “a chip with both inside” but “a chip that is both”) meant for multimedia and entertainment applications (like a game console). It was so peculiar that developers took a long time before learning how to use it effectively. Microsoft didn’t want to risk it, so they went with a different CPU always from IBM that shared some of the Cell’s design, but without the special GPU-ish parts, and paired it up with an ATI GPU.
Now, Sony wanted to get away with only the Cell, and use it both as CPU and GPU, but various tests showed that despite everything, it wasn’t powerful enough to keep up with the graphics they expected. So they reached out to NVIDIA (not ATI) to make an additional GPU, so they designed a modified version of the 7800 GTX to work together with the Cell. To fully utilise the PS3 graphics hardware, one would have to mainly use the GPU for graphics, and assist it with the special Cell hardware. Which is harder.

I know what I said, I looked up the symbols they use, that is the symbol for castration, it’s like a mars symbol, but barred. The one for spaying (?) is like the Venus symbol, but without the little horizontal line

Doesn’t the symbol on her shirt mean she was castrated?
- Comment on Black Mirror AI 1 month ago:
A lot of FOSS software’s websites are starting to use it lately, starting from the gnome foundation, that’s what popularized it.
The idea of proof of work itself came from spam emails, of all places. One proposed but never adopted way of preventing spam was hashcash, which required emails to have a proof of work embedded in the email. Bitcoins came after this borrowing the idea
- Comment on Black Mirror AI 1 month ago:
my point was that even if they don’t have unlimited ips they might have a lot of them, especially if its ipv6, so you couldn’t just block them. but you can use anubis that doesn’t rely on ip filtering
- Comment on Black Mirror AI 1 month ago:
There’s always Anubis 🤷
Anyway, what if they are backed by some big Chinese corporation with some /32 ipv6 and some /16 ipv4? It’s not that unreasonable

Ok, but, does it really not work, or like, it’s just that you would have to run it in a batch and kill the bad cells, which could be unethical on human embryos?
Like, could we grow legs on a lungfish (which Google says has a larger genome than humans) if we did not care about botched embryos?

- Comment on Horses ARE Forever 3 months ago:
In Italy we eat horses, so they are also farmed for food. I bet all the horses that end up on a slice of bread or a pizza would rather have pulled a carriage. Still they are a much less popular meat, I don’t think horse farming is as bad as, say, pig farming, (for the horse I mean) because there’s much less demand. “Frayed threads” (lack of better translation) of horse are pretty good with olive oil btw.
