The non-pregnant parent wins, because they get the same genetic payoff but don’t have to spend the resources.

It does in modern designs, the first time it happened was in 1952.
To quote Wikipedia:
The first thermonuclear weapon detonation, where the vast majority of the yield comes from fusion, was the 1952 Ivy Mike test of a liquid deuterium-fusing device.
- Comment on At this rate, why not. 1 week ago:
Mixed up fission and fusion there, they sound so similar in English.
The comment talks about fusion. - Comment on At this rate, why not. 1 week ago:
Why is the second guaranteed to be smaller?
We know how nuclear bombs work. The majority of the energy comes from nuclear fission, a highly exothermic process, that can (in the foreseeable future) only be used in bombs.
If we don’t need to drop the bomb, but rather assemble it in place, it can just use deuterium as a fusion fuel. Deuterium can be distilled from normal water for much less energy that it generates in fusion. - Comment on At this rate, why not. 1 week ago:
Going of same value in the paper and wikipedia it would take the energy used by all of humanity in two months.

It would be funny because I don’t think twitter has the server infrastruktur or the domain knowledge.

You just need to cook enough, to last for multiple meals.

The billionaire space race reminds me of Devil facial tumour disease (NSFL).
It’s the only cancer (that I know of), that can reliably spread to a new host. - Comment on Anon doesn't wash 1 month ago:
And then there are the Germans, eating raw ground beef on a bun.
It seems, you can get away with raw meat, if you buy it freshly ground from the butcher. - Comment on Diamond market 1 month ago:

Because the last five years have shown, that we have spend way to much time teaching people biology.

I heard he was heading to Portugal, or was it Brasil? Better check there as well.

A myth persists that the initial batch of Iron Rings was made from the beams of the first Quebec Bridge, a bridge that collapsed during construction in 1907 due to poor planning and design by the overseeing engineers.
How can you do that to my, Wikipedia? I never believed in Santa, but I believed in the tragic origin of the ring.

That just sounds like antibiotic research.

It can be crystals and photons.
How do you build actuators that react to light without electricity?

But anyways, animal farts come from preexisting carbon in the biosphere. Car farts come from extracting previously sequestered carbon. So without extractive processes, and with ethical land use/management, the atmospheric methane wouldn’t have a significant impact.
Methane is 81x worse that CO2 over 20 Years, so if it came from atmospheric carbon it’s only 80x as bad.

Because they become invisible in LaTeX
- Comment on Spanish Notations 3 months ago:
The Spanish notation makes the parentheses around n-k obsolete, clearly saving one symbol in some formulas is worth introducing a new one in others.
- Comment on Why don't we just gather up all the ocean's trash and all the nonrecyclables, put them in a rocket, and launch it into the sun? 3 months ago:
There is “not financially viable” and than there is spending 12 times the gdp of earth each year.

You have really opened a can of worms we here.
- Comment on Re-Evolved 5 months ago:
Thr sinking of your habits can do that to you, otherwise it has a good evolutionary niche.
Also, the flying ancestors are still around, so if anything happens they can come back in another 20 000 years. - Comment on Anon pretends to be a girl online 5 months ago:

- Comment on EU Citizen's initiative to pass legislation to stop game publishers disabling games we paid for 6 months ago:
Generally, forcing developers to code something has been considered “compelled speech”
I’m European so I don’t quite understand.
Say person A paid person B to say X and had a valid contract. If B didn’t say X can person A sue person B to compel performance of contract or just money back/damages?At least for new games wouldn’t it just be an implied part of the purchasing contract, meaning money back at least.
- Comment on What knot(s) should I use to secure this? 6 months ago:
As a climber I have to disagree, figure 8 knots are the best, especially when double back.
It’s the one knot I trust my life to on a weekly basis and I have rarely encountered a situation where they weren’t part of the solution. - Comment on Will We Have to Pump the Great Lakes to California to Feed the Nation? 6 months ago:
Desalination is
expensiveenergy intensive and vertical farming is toexpensivelabor intensive. We could do them but they are massive inefficiencies when other options are available.For better resource utilisation we could go vegan, except for animals exclusively eating grass/hay and waste products. But doing that would increase the price of meat and milk products, while making other foods cheaper and more available.
Sadly we can’t have people only eating meat on some days, like in the “good old days”, better use up all of earth before handling it of to the next generations.
PS: Sorry, I’m feeling argumentative today.
