From Wikipedia:
In a 2021 study published in the journal Plant Signaling & Behavior, Felipe Yamashita and Jacob White claimed that B. trifoliata may employ a primitive form of vision to identify and mimic their hosts. This hypothesis is based upon 1905 and 1907 claims by Gottlieb Haberlandt and Francis Darwin, respectively, that some plants use ‘ocelli’ or lens-like cells to focus light onto other light sensitive cells. In this study, B. trifoliata was observed mimicking the leaf shapes of plastic plants, and researchers refined Haberlandt and Darwin’s ocelli hypothesis, claiming that B. trifoliata may be using convex shaped lenses in epidermal tissue that can detect light and “see” the shapes of nearby leaves.[24] They further proposed that, B. trifoliata processes that information through an unknown means, possibly through neuron-like structures in order to initiate mimicry.[18][23] The study also found that non-mimetic leaves have more free-end veinlets and identified the hormone auxin as a possible mediator in changes to leaf morphology.[24]
This paper received substantial media coverage, was praised by F1000’s Faculty Opinions, and went viral on the social media platform TikTok following its release. František Baluška, a plant biologist and editor-in-chief of Plant Signaling & Behavior, praised this hypothesis, and claimed that root skototropism and photoreceptive cells in algae were analogous mechanisms for “plant sight”. However, the paper’s conclusions have largely been met with skepticism by scientists. Criticisms of the paper include poor methodology, White’s lack of a scientific background, and possible conflicts of interest between Baluška and Yamashita.[18][23] The research was awarded the 2024 Ig Nobel Prize for botany.[25]

But maybe you can explain where all the downvotes come from, because I don’t understand.
Is thievery good? Only when thieving from companies? Is is socially acceptable to take what is not yours from others? Only from companies? Or from a stranger who has more than you? From a friend? What’s this all about?

No, I’m serious in all statements. Corpos will jack prices on any occassion that offers itself, so keep the number of those low.

service is not something the client has to ask for but something the vendor provides. Just like you hold a door open for someone entering behind you, you provide that service, unasked.
- Comment on Ok boomer 1 month ago:
“service” is no “special attention” but I get to the conclusion our misunderstanding might be a socio-cultural thing

I don’t know where you live but here this would be a crime and very antisocial and despicable.

Being “trebuchet master” without “Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics”… doubt

This says much about respect and social competence in this society when the first instinct is to mock and abuse someone with different priorities than yours.

Uff, okay. So that was a quote? I assume there is a reason they did this (from my perspective bad) relabeling. (From my perspective bad because FF is often played by a younger audience and they are at risk to learn the terminomolgy wrong and keep that for their whole life. causing potential misunderstandings and embarrassings)

He would probably have preferred to just stay alive than to be killed, burned and thrown away.

When a “star” is actually is a planet… I don’t know if this is a quote but education can help here.

So what you’re saying is: If some random dude on the internet made a mocking image about Trump after he downed in an helicopter, the USA would come and kill that guy/his country/the world?
If yes, okay, fair.
If not, think about what a crazy trhing you just said and if this would remotely be true, wtf would be wrong with the American/Iranian people?

It’s just unnecessary. If you can’t control yourself from harming others, animals or things, there is work to do.
I am not saying one can not have the thoughts of doing the wildest or weirdest things. Thoughts about options are okay but having an urge to commit diametral actions seems somewhat pathologic to me.

- Comment on How is it possible that a laptop can read a CD flawlessly, but every other device I've tried the CD on skips at certain parts? 10 months ago:
Why has been explained below, different drives have different capabilities regarding read buffer, error correction, etc.
There are (were) very lrge comparison sheets and articles where different drives and manufacturers have been compared with each other.
I chose my external USB CD-drive on the premise I could flash custom firmware to it so to keep the option of new features and enhances functionality, in case someone would do this. Like how OpenWRT came to be.
If you want to enhance the ripping quality or consistency evennmire you can try the program “Exact Audio Copy” (EAC) or any other sophisticated CD grabber software. It is already around for aaages, that should give you an idea how tricked out specialized software was already decades ago.
