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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tipping culture is out of control, even the cops expect tips now!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is an engineer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FIGHT⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That just sounds like antibiotic research.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨don't be a coward⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It can be crystals and photons.

  How do you build actuators that react to light without electricity?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨wtf Cambrian⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Add a giant eye and you have the zerg overmind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On bugs...⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Better to leak that to segfault, take this:
  #define free(x)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon takes the horsepill⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spanish Notations⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Because they become invisible in LaTeX

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spanish Notations⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There is “not financially viable” and than there is spending 12 times the gdp of earth each year.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨smart engineering⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yours is one louder

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just Terrible⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Like mathematicians and physicists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please stop⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What about train station graffiti? Or Wikipedia discussion pages? Or the linux mailing list?

  You have really opened a can of worms we here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Re-Evolved⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Come and take a seat

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EU Citizen's initiative to pass legislation to stop game publishers disabling games we paid for⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨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?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨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?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Desalination is expensive energy intensive and vertical farming is to expensive labor 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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨technological advancement⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The can’t find the difference meme would fit better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would I get banned here for being over active? I got banned from reddit because they thought I was a bot. And don't want to repeat the same mistake here. Thank you ahead of time.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Inline code in `back ticks`

  Multiline code
  in 
  ` ` `
  triple back tics
  ` ` `
  

  I don’t know how to escape triple back tics inside a code block, just ignore the spaces

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shocking⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It reduces interviewer bias if you do it before they get a word in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Based⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Red is acidic, she is droiping the base to reduce the acidity.

  Maybe the usual way is to drip acid into the base (I don’t remember either), in which case a red indicator means she past the point of equalization.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everybody thinks they're Galileo⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Columbus was wrong. He thought the diameter of the earth was much smaller that the common estimate at the time which turned out close to the actual value.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's sacrifice I'm willing to make⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Give your AC a hand with alchemy DIY chemistry: youtu.be/Nqxjfp4Gi0k

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it generally safe to walk through a field of cows?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I had quite the opposite experience in the alps, we have hiked within meters cows because the heard was laying and standing on the path. I have never seen very young calves or bulls on the mountains.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dropping my mixtape⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah the old Univertium ofium Berkelium Californium joke

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I was always there and you forget me like this⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As a rock climber, the feeling of firm und unmoving rock is my favorite. Either limestone or granite.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's amazing so many people are able to use English as a second language.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Go speak Lojban with people numbering “beyond what can be counted on the fingers of one hand”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop right there⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  optimal design for actual humans to live and work

  And H designs are just somehow aesthetically unpleasing to me personally (for real).

  Because I agree with those points I resigned it by flipping the edges:

  If we orient it south and try to distribute sunlight fairly we may get something like this:
