Ravager? I hardly know her!

I mean, it’s kind of a major point of Elantris, albeit inverted: Nobody knows why magic stopped working because they don’t know why it worked in the first place.

Neither messages not bloodstains would require the game to not have a pause function though.

I love how FB marketplace allows setting the price to $100 million, as if that is a reasonable price for anything anyone would buy on FB marketplace.

That opens explorer for me. Ctrl-K -> M changes the language.

None of these have anything even remotely close to 4k textures. We can argue all day about whether or not those are required for “good graphics” (I don’t think so either). But there’s no amount of optimization that compresses those textures without losing the fidelity you’re using them for.

It’s got absolutely nothing to do with the engine or optimization.

What kind of conditioning do dogs get to perceive the doorbell as a threat anyway?

a safety or environmental incident, or the company will lose millions of dollars

Those are ultimately the same thing, no?

Wall street is a street in Manhattan. The New York stock exchange is located there, which is why many banks and other financial institutions are there as well.

Wall street is therefore used to refer to the New York financial sector.

Then it should be up to them to pull the trigger.

This one is actually a big of a tragic coincidence. A lot of genes are first discovered in a certain type of fruit fly (drosophilia melanogaster), which are excellent for this because of the low amount of gene redundancy and high reproduction rate.

There’s a series of genes that cause the fruit fly to have little spikes in their body, making them look a bit like hedgehogs. One of those was jokingly called sonic.

The problem is that this gene is present in humans, too, and has since been linked to severe brain deformities. As you can imagine, telling people that their child has a severe brain defect because of the sonic hedgehog gene is kind of problematic (Which is why it’s now commonly only called SHH).

There seem to be newer naming conventions that should prevent this kind of issue in the future.

There’s an episode of Let’s Learn Everything about this fruit fly: Episode 78

Actually we did: She joined the ground defense line for the 4th Jeju raid.

Typical leftist, won’t even show a shred of empathy to the profit margins of the American cock and ball torture device industry!

It’s because the pictogram doesn’t require knowing French or English (depending on where in Canada you are)

This sort of ranked choice voting would be a pretty good solution to the issues with the 5% barrier.

It would also empower small parties like Volt or ÖDP, especially in terms of party funding (which is tied to election results).

Although tbh, BSW (which are openly pro Russia, so their ranked choice might have been AfD) and FDP (whose understanding of their oft-touted economy is on the level of a second semester econ major with a trustfund) not making it into Parliament this time is the best thing about these otherwise pretty terrible eleven results.

The system is pretty neat, but it does come with some issues. See all those dark blue districts in Bavaria? That’s way more seats for the CSU than they would be entitled to by the proportional representation.

Previously, these “overhanging mandates” were handled by simply increasing the size is Parliament until proportionality is met (“compensate mandates”). This was fine for decades, where there were always only a couple of those. But as CSU votership dropped (among other things), we were looking at more than 200 additional MEPs (in a parliament of officially 598 seats).

So it got reformed. Parliament now has a fixed 630 seats. The “overhanging mandates” get dropped based on the margin by which they won their electoral district (with some sorting by state mixed in). Most of those districts still got their representative via the party lists, but there actually are 4 districts that are unrepresented now. So it’s not a perfect system either.
