Romania too, but definitely better than a hamburger. It’s more like a sausage.

More likely poorly written in the original language, then passed through Google Translate or other automated translator.

A computer that can manage the TNG holodeck will have no problem handling all the complexities of a transporter.
Plus it needs to identify what creepy crawlies are a part of you and which were just randomly wandering by.
It does do that. It’s canon that transporters take care of removing any foreign organisms.
And how does it know what clothes are? If I’m wearing shoes, does it know where the shoes end and the floor starts? What if I’m wearing skies? What if I’m barefoot on a carpet? What if it’s a leather carpet? What if I’m wearing shoes made by folding carpet around my feet?
It understands all those scenarios and relays them to the operator, who decides what to lock on.

But is this cub the first time in history those types of features have been studied? We’ve known about saber-toothed cats for decades.

- Comment on Are movies where the time loops over and over considered time travel movies? 1 week ago:
That’s a parallel worlds story. There are many movies and shows about travel through parallel worlds. Sliders is the first that comes to mind.

If surviving humans lost 50% of their gut bacteria, that means that those snapped away left 50% of their gut bacteria behind.

- Comment on How many Nintendo Switches do I need for a family of gamers? 1 week ago:
They said “the ones I have”, as in multiple. So I was wondering. That’s because I went on the 8bitdo website and I looked at several categories. The Xbox ones listed only various Xbox models under connectivity, the Bluetooth ones only listed Switch, the 2.4G and wired ones only listed Windows and Android.
- Comment on How many Nintendo Switches do I need for a family of gamers? 1 week ago:
The ones I have work on switch, Xbox, pc, android, iOS, etc.
Is there a single controller that I can use on switch, Xbox and pc?

You’re the second person who thinks I’m talking about the sample article in the image. I was talking about the mod description below the image.
- Comment on critical latex mod 2 weeks ago:
But that text is not justified and the spaces are not evenly distributed. All spaces are equal except those few double spaces (which are also equal to each-other).
- Comment on critical latex mod 2 weeks ago:
Am I the only one bothered by the random double spaces scattered through that text?
- Comment on On a lighter note: Why do people still buy fast food? 2 weeks ago:
Some people grew up eating that shit and it provides them with a sense of comfort and familiarity.
That’s exactly it. It’s confort food for a lot of Americans. I grew up in a different country, where home cooking was the norm and fast food was considered a huge waste of money. I of course tried it when I got my own money, but there was no reason for it to stick with me. So now fast food places don’t even register as an option for me if I ever find myself needing to eat from outside the house. But I’ve seen my friends in the US talk about fast food, their eyes gleaming talking about the Whatever Burger at Whatever Fast Food and the Whatever Taco at Another Fast Food and always get the Whatever Sauce at Yet Another Fast Food. The same way they talk about Twizzlers or Twinkies or other absolute junk that they would never touch if it didn’t bring them back to their childhood.

I thought AI was great at picking up context?
I don’t know why you thought that. LLMs split your question into separate words and assigns scores to those words, then looks up answers relevant to those words. It has no idea of how those words are relevant to each other. That’s why LLMs couldn’t answer how many "r"s are in “strawberry”. They assigned the word “strawberry” a lower relevancy score in that question. The word “rescue” is probably treated the same way here.

I found about The Wild Robot movie from a giant billboard on the side of a building at Universal Studios. Since my kids both loved the books, it caught our attention and we looked up the trailer.

If you’re talking about straight lines, then yes, that’s how you define a convex shape. If any uninterrupted path can be taken, then the OP shape does satisfy the condition.

The it does meet the definition
- Comment on God of War Ragnarok PC port suffers review bombing on Steam due to PlayStation Network account requirement 1 month ago:
Review bombing is an intentional attack (e.g. someone posts a story about a shitty restaurant owner and everyone on the internet starts leaving negative reviews for that restaurant even though they’ve never been there). Just getting negative reviews organically for being bad is not review bombing.
- Comment on Square! 1 month ago:
That sounds like the definition for convex shape, not the general definition for a shape
- Comment on Academic writing 1 month ago:
I also disagree with the original comment you replied to. I was just responding to the part I quoted. I agree most specialists in a field don’t know how to explain things to non-specialists and I agree it’s important to have people who know how to explain things in layman terms, I jusy don’t think it’s relevant if those people are also the ones doing the research or not.
