Organs are a distinct structure made of multiple tissues. So if this thing is just a few layers of tissue, then you can make the argument that the whole creature is essentially a single-organ organism.
Truth be told, I suspect there is a certain amount of hyperbole in the infographic.

Props for having the chessboard setup correctly. Something most movies can’t manage with hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on consulting.
- Comment on If someone opened a store and just sold stuff at cost, which undercuts every other competitors by alot. Would this not for the big corps to come way down on their prices? 5 days ago:
Long story short, logistics benefits from scale. The cost to ship a pallet of poptarts to a store is roughly the same as shipping half a pallet. Smaller stores can’t really undercut larger corporations because they don’t have the scale.
Also when your mom and pop store doesn’t make a profit for 3 months, they go under. When a Walmart doesn’t make a profit for 3 months, they stay open because they have those loses spread across hundreds of other Walmarts.
- Comment on its actually worse bc ports are counted twice for 2.0 & 3.0 1 week ago:
More realistic option is 15 other Logitech wireless device receivers, and you don’t know which one goes to your current mouse and keyboard, so you just leave them all plugged in.
At least, that is my experience working in IT. Personal record was 6.

Container garden. I even had one on my North facing balcony in Baltimore.

I dunno, we grow huge amounts of corn for ethanol to replace 15% of the fuel for cars… And it would be multiple time more efficient (in terms of land use) to cover that area with solar panels and phase out ICEs for EVs.
- Comment on Has the scientific community ever reconciled with the fact global warming is going to happen and there is no stopping it? 1 week ago:
looks a solar panels
Yep, magic right there.
Sees nuclear power plants
What sorcery is this?!
Observes EVs, heat pumps, biofuels…
Mysteries beyond the comprehension of man!

Xbox is going to be a subscription game console service, like stadia was.
Microsoft is going to use the “free” compute cycles when their AI slopcenters aren’t at full utilization to run Xbox games.
- Comment on Anon owns nothing and is unhappy 1 week ago:
The future of PC gaming is the community support of vintage games that you loved.
The future of consoles is amatuer AI taxidermy remakes of your childhood memories. A distorted uncanny-valley resemblence of a game you once held dear, stuffed to the brim with synthetic fluff and hung on a generic skeleton twisted and bent to roughly resemble a once vibrant and living thing.

It will still work in daylight, but the LEDs you’d use would have to be brighter than the sun.
Unless the camera has two separate sensors/lenses, one with an IR filter and one without.
- Comment on Dumb glasses 1 week ago:
Problem is that’s human readable. Unless you are the nerdiest of nerds, you’re not reading QR code or even most plain old barcodes.
Related, a few years ago, I could read 3of9 barcode font by sight because I spent like 4 years programming Honeywell scanners for POS systems and created an inventory system to track 60,000 iOS devices where I added a serial number and inventory number barcode for each device.

Dolphinoplasty, a surgery on the bleeding edge of medical science and terminal ballistics.

That’s why American Airlines had the “cheat line” livery. Bare hulls saved them enough weight to carry like an extra 2 passengers.
Plus, polished metal on airframes looks sweet IMHO. Real “DC3 golden era of aviation” vibes.

Don’t have what? A Steam deck, a PC, or a USB?
- Comment on 18-26 year olds, How do you plan to dodge the draft? 2 weeks ago:
Not of age, I got through the “draft period” during GWB. The US probably won’t have a draft, mainly because we have a sizeable “volunteer” military.
However, if I was drafted, I would talk to my recruiter about how I’ve read books about fragging, and how all I can think about is how powerful that is, for one man with one weapon on the inside to destroy or disrupt the chain of command. Then do your best Private Pyle “Seven Six Two millimeter. Full Metal jacket!” imitation. The military doesn’t care about sending untrained and unqualified conscripts into an active war, but I doubt they will take someone who seems to have uncontrollable fantasies about shooting their own officer.
- Comment on They're calling it the Trump Laptop. Highest quality. So affordable. We're making technology great again, folks. 3 weeks ago:
Right… trumptop would be a 35lb lead slab moulded around a 2016 Acer Aspire, spray pained gold, and comes with cheetos and pubes in the KB already.

Hypothetically, near instantly. Realistically, I don’t think someone is going to bother to triangulate a random burst in the 2.4 and 5ghz bands, but someone logging radio traffic for shits and giggles would certainly notice 5-10 minutes bursts of noise early in the mornings saturating the band (you’d need to do the whole band as modern WiFi will channel hop for the best signal).
- Comment on the two party system is just one big party 3 weeks ago:
Sure, but if you genuinely believe this, then you need to be in the streets, breaking the law, and overthrowing the establishment. I’ve got mad respect for people who are willing to do that. I’ve got respect for people who are willing to vote to keep trump and other far right fascists out of power. I’ve got no respect for someone who doesn’t vote, or votes 3rd party when literally everything is on the line, and then grandstands about it on the internet like they are fucking hero. Those morons risked everything for a chance to gain nothing, and the rest of us are stuck with the results of their 20 IQ bet.
- Comment on the two party system is just one big party 3 weeks ago:
My guy, that is the meaning of the meme in the post.
- Comment on the two party system is just one big party 3 weeks ago:
Real quick…
How many votes did Bernie get in the 2016 primary, and how many did Clinton get?
- Comment on the two party system is just one big party 3 weeks ago:
In case you forgot 9/11 happened during Bush’s (a Republican) presidency, and his administration used it to get into Afghanistan and Iran, even though most of the hijackers were Saudi, and the whole operation was Saudi funded.
If you want, you can try to guess another manufacturered crisis that dragged a Democratic administration into a war?
- Comment on A product of his environment 4 weeks ago:
There are radio nerds out there who are extremely interested in RF noise and will absolutely triangulate and report a signal jammer.
- Comment on A product of his environment 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, good idea. Commit a felony offense to cover the tracks of your late night trashcan shenanigan…

Which is funny, because they keep shooting it in the foot.
- Comment on Xbox Co-founder Says Microsoft is Quietly Sunsetting the Platform 4 weeks ago:
Sure, but realize that the current level of personal computing is a smartphone, we’re not that far off from your home “PC” just being a display, KB, mouse, and maybe an interface for some external storage and peripherals. I wouldn’t be shocked it that happenes some time in the next 10 years.
That being said, I think there will still be a significant group of people who will own their own hardware.
- Comment on Because, f**k you! That's why. 4 weeks ago:
Still on Mint. Haven’t needed to load my windows drive up in weeks. My non-tech enthusiast partner is coming around to trying Linux after seeing what a shitshow 11 is on her work computer. It would be great to get her to switch over before my 140 dollar bill for Office 365 needs to be renewed.
I’ve also got some other family members who are interested in trying it out, which is really saying something for a group of people who got started with Win 95, and are very proficient and comfortable in Microsoft’s ecosystem.

2008 called. They want their huge bailouts back.

No it’s more like “Why make an argument against the charges when the charges have no standing at all.” The case is dismissable, why would you waste your time and money fighting it in court?
