Having worked with Azure I completely agree that its being down is good.

I take it it’s not pasteurized? I’ve never had milk go bad on me. But then I’m living in a country that takes food safety seriously.
Are you sure the container was sealed when you bought it?

Second, find a take-away container, scoop the spider into the container
What, like an excavator?

That guy is the reason why all spiders get the impediment of the doubt from me.

Figuring things out yourself is always hit or miss. Either the specific neurons required for you to understand something fire or they don’t.
Relying children to figure something out for themselves is doubly stupid. Because for that to work, the child must want to learn the thing and then be able to understand it. If reading an analog clock isn’t something you need (and maybe you’re not even around analog clocks), then you won’t learn.

I don’t have a horse in this race, but your argument doesn’t hold up. If you want a way to tell the time during a power outage, you don’t need an analogue clock, you need one that runs on batteries.

Remember how Cyberpunk got hyped across the board? Not a single critical voice before launch (as far as I’ve heard). If that’s the “journalism” you’re providing, then I’m sure as hell not paying for it.

To save you a search:
It has a tetrapolar mating system with each cell containing two mating-type loci (called A and B) that govern different aspects of the mating process, leading to 4 possible phenotypes after cell fusion. Each locus codes for a mating type sublocus (α or β) and each type is multi-allelic: the A locus has 9 alleles for the α type and an estimated 32 for its β type, and the B locus has 9 alleles each for both its α and β types. When combined this gives an estimated 9 × 32 × 9 × 9 = 23328 potential mating type specificities. This does not mean all different mating types are compatible with one another, because compatibility between haploid individuals exists only when for both the A and the B mating-type locus at least the α or β are different. Strains are thus compatible with ( 1 − 1/ (9 × 32) ) × ( 1 − 1/ (9 × 9) ) ≈ 0.984 = 98.4 % of the population.

Amber died. Also he lost a patient called Esther before the show started. Then there’s the crush victim from one of the season finales. The pox episode had some patients die. So did the organ recipients from the beginning of season 4.
These are all that come to my mind. The casualties were either not salvagable (crush victim) or House managed to save one out of a group of sick people. Still an impressive success ratio, like in any hospital show.

- Comment on house rule 2 weeks ago:
It’s canon that House never handed in any paperwork. So maybe the patients never got charged?
There’s also the explanation that House occasionally saves wealthy people who then donate large sums to the hospital. That might offset the less affluent people.
- Comment on i enjoy high fructose corn syrup too 3 weeks ago:
Even if two species existed that had similar soil, water and sun requirements, had similar properties regarding taste, processability, etc., it would still be easier to farm just one instead of breeding both for milennia and splitting the means of production.
- Comment on And they mocked me for my WoW subscription 😗 3 weeks ago:
I still download my music. Two pros: I have control over where, when and how I listen to it. And I only download music I actually want to listen to.
One con: Finding new music is harder (I imagine).

In Germany frost is combated by spraying vines with mist. Freezing water releases heat, which raises the temperature by a few degrees.

That ‘86 pages’ factoid is misleading. They weren’t trying to prove that 1+1=2. They were trying to build a foundation for mathematics, and at some point along the way that prove fell out of the equations.

I find this axiomatization of the naturals quite neat:
- Zero is a natural number. 0∈ℕ
- For every natural number there exists a succeeding natural number. ∀_n_∈ℕ: s(n)∈ℕ (s denotes the successor function)
Now the neat part: If 0 is a constant, then s(0) is also a constant. So we can invent a name for that constant and call it “1.” Now s(s(0)) is a constant, too. Call it “2” and proceed to invent the natural numbers.
