Ok.
I think this would be of value for sharing with people that aren’t aware (my kid when she was younger).
Or is there a better resource to do this?

Perhaps that’s also why superhero movies were so popular for a time recently.
- Comment on How does data sent over the internet know where to go? 8 months ago:
Physically, at the physical / link layers, an integrated circuit is used that knows how to take data provided by the cpu and stick it into an Ethernet Packet and then make signals on the Ethernet (like RJ45) wires to communicate with the switch.
I would have to look up a data sheet on an Ethernet controller and read the IEEE 802 specs to know precisely what goes on.

Continuing the Wikipedia quote for context
Pyle released a statement shortly afterwards which did not mention abortion, but said that he and his wife “have private beliefs as they pertain to our Christian faith. We believe separation of church and state is crucial to our nation flourishing.” He also stated they voted for the Democratic Party, and were “troubled by what the Republican Party has become and [did] not want to be associated with it.”[25][26][27]

Neanderthals (and humans for that matter) did indeed but they did it in groups, usually. Being alone really stacks the odds against you I think.

- Comment on How does data sent over the internet know where to go? 8 months ago:
The circuitry doesn’t determine which cable is the correct one. That is determined by a protocol that associates various IP networks with different network interfaces. So, for example, all data going to 192.168.5.0/24 goes to interface eth0, and 192.168.0.0/24 goes to eth1 and 10.0.0.1 goes to eth2 and so on.
That can be done with a static route defined on the router. Another way is dynamic routing using BGP (border gateway protocol) which is an exterior gateway protocol that dynamically routes between your network and somewhere exterior to your network. Yet another protocol is OSPF (open shortest path first) which is used inside a corporate network for dynamic routing.
For any of these the router knows how to send the IP packet to the next hop, another router, which in turn knows how to send it to the next hop.
Where to send is based on the destination IP. The routers know which interfaces and which other routers are responsible for different subnetworks.
It is sort of like how once your mail makes it to a main hub in your state, it is then routed to the main hub for the destination state, and from there to the post office responsible for the destination zip code, and then to the mail route (and hence truck) responsible for the street and number.
So if your destination is 1.1.1.1 maybe there is a router known to be responsible for 1.0.0.0/8 and then it knows what router is responsible for 1.1.0.0/16 and so on until we get to a router that has 1.1.1.1 on one of its subnets then it sends directly to 1.1.1.1.

- Comment on Breathtaking colorized video from 1896 of around the world 8 months ago:
Totally worth the watch. It’s so fascinating to see the differences, but more so the similarities, between then and now.
Even though that age had its share of war, sorrow, infirmity, and so on, I have to wonder if there wasn’t a sense of optimism from all of the rapid progress in science and technology. I doubt any of these people saw a world war coming in just two decades and a shakeup of the world order, the death of empires, and so forth.
One of my hobbies is collecting pocket watches and my favorite, a ladies Elgin in an ornate gold plated case, was manufactured about a decade before these films were made. It is wild to think this watch could have been worn by someone in these films and then surviving so many years and so much change yet still ticking away and keeping time to this day.

- Comment on Is my voice annoyingly high? 9 months ago:
It isn’t annoying. On the contrary, it is generally appealing, if you ask me.
We hear our own voices differently than others do because our ears are connected to the same skull doing the speaking. It is really jarring to hear what you sound like to others. But if you’re like me, you may get used to it if you edit videos of yourself enough times.

This sounds familiar. For me, add masking ADHD over enthusiasm, and other factors.

The most important result is that plants are the overwhelming winner in the “who weighs the most” contest, coming in at 450 gigatons. Microbes (which include bacteria, archaea, and most protists) come in next at around 81 gigatons. Animals (which includes insects, by the way), barely matter, weighing in at a mere 2 gigatons. It’s also worth noting that these plants are mostly on land. That means that the continents beat the oceans in terms of biospheric mass.

- Comment on Do you ever worry that you're secretly a psychopath that unknowingly manipulates people around you? 9 months ago:
From the comfort and authority of my armchair, as a (fake) psychologist, I declare that you can’t be a psychopath if you feel guilty about a spider (and other beings, especially humans).
I think of gaslighting as manipulation of a victim by an abusive person by causing the victim to doubt their own feelings and perceptions, thereby gaining control over them. They do this by convincing the victim that what they are feeling and observing is false and the fault of the victim rather than the abuser.
This has a better explanation and some clear examples:

For what it’s worth, ADHD folks tend not to fit social norms, either, and have blind spots about their behavior and how people perceive them.
