I think the sex scene was done very well. The things you can pull off nowadays with CGI is just crazy.

You could make the same argument about any experimental medical intervention in a child’s life
Yup, and there’s even ethics review boards convened solely to analyze that argument with the particulars of a case and rule whether the treatment is okay to go ahead. This guy played god without approval from this review process and deserved the time served.

To all the commenters saying this guy was a saint for doing what you did, would you say the same thing had the outcome been disasterous? Babies born without HIV, but with constant excruciating pain or mental deficiency.
He took an extraordinarily reckless and permantenly life-altering, for good or bad, risk with children’s lives.

If it’s due to LLM is it “human written communication”?
- Comment on How is my bedroom being heated? 1 month ago:
It sounds like my old place. So long as you don’t have a corner unit you’re not being heated. You’re being sheltered from the cold by the surrounding building. The baseboard heaters are only there to touch up if you crack a window or something.

You are correct ofc, but the law (where applicable) is not for tenants. It’s for the Fire Dept.

If it is the only lift for the building it is likely a firecode violation…

That’s what makes it mildly infuriating.
This is in-your-face pending shrinkflation. Once they run out of old packaging they will use new with reduced mass and count but same price. Also, you assume they’ve actually increased the number to keep the mass valid. I would not be shocked at all to learn they didn’t making this potential lawsuit material.

Joaquin Phoenix for Worst Actor>. /doubt
Haven’t seen the movie but he’s always been more than adequate with his performances. My guess is it’s either bad directing, editing, or both that he’s taking the rap for.

- Comment on How do I find a job that's unionized outside the trades? 2 months ago:
You should be able to find a list of registered Labour Organizations via your relevant governing body. For example.
After that it is research into Unions that sound like they’d be in the field you’re interested in.
I’m not aware of any simple way to do this.
- Comment on Please advise on this conversation we had over on c/Piracy. Transporters and replicators, basic operating principles? 2 months ago:
they may as well be turning humanoid waste into foodYeah, they are. Waste matter is reclaimed as energy/supplies for food production
It would imply that transporter and replicator technology are, basically, the same thing. I agree. This is supported by replicators and transporters having a very similar special effect on the show.
they’d have to be violating the laws of thermodynamics to get more efficient energy production than matter-to-energy conversion. I don’t follow here. Why do they ‘have’ to be? They could very well be spending more energy but the increased amount is ‘trivial’ from their perspective. This would not violate Thermodynamics.
Ah I think I see the confusion. They are using antimatter for energy creation. Energy to matter for transport or replication is ‘paid’ for by the matter to energy destruction of the og material (whether it be the transported individual, waste matter collected from the crew, equivalent amounts of reactor fuel, or some combination of these) and the excess cost of thermodynamics is paid for by the matter-antimatter reactions in the reactor.
Is the efficiency miraculous? Yes, ofc. Is it breaking thermodynamics? No. It’s easy to see how they are paying for the excess costs with reactor fuel and that is without any hand-wavium of subspace or dilithium crystals being involved.

- Comment on Please advise on this conversation we had over on c/Piracy. Transporters and replicators, basic operating principles? 2 months ago:
IIRC there are 3 different methods seen for food creation in Star Trek.
Protein Resequencers (ST:ENT, ST:TOS)" which presumably take stored amino acids and combined them with supplementary minerals and flavouring into nutritious cubes that look like marshmallows.
Matter Recombinators (ST:TOS): capable of taking stored matter and producing ‘simple’ foodstuffs like drinks, iced cream, slabs of protein similar to chicken breast or steak, etc. I think these were sometimes called replicators but the distinction is the production is done elsewhere and the food delivered in seconds on request.
Replicators (ST:TNG +): I swear they described this as direct energy to matter conversion but I can’t find the source for this. The seemingly ridiculous energy demands this requires can be justified by the fact they use matter+antimatter reactions for energy supply. A cup of water would take a cup of fuel give or take.
Transports it’s been clear from the beginning the matter is being deconstructed into energy and sent to the destination where it is reconstructed using the original’s pattern. The ethics of it are dubious because every time you see someone transport they are being literally killed in front of your eyes and a new copy created elsewhere.
