Great one! (Not just a nice one, a great one even.)

Now get out! Just Get Out!

So do I understand correctly that a certain hox gene is activated in basically all cells which are in the “domain” of a certain vertebrae and they all activate some subset of homeobox genes which in combination with the original hox gene cause them to start turning into all the different parts associated with that vertebrae (so organs and other structures)?

Would we then need an entirely new hox gene to produce even a single gill? (I know you basically just laid out most of a response to this question.) Because I would assume although the exact point at which the development of our arms and legs begins is part of the whole hox gene “superstructure”, but couldn’t we ‘basically just’ highjack this same system and duplicate this gene to produce at least a single gill in the region where the current hox gene for our neck is expressed?

Long story short: what is the biggest reason why we can’t just hack into a later part of the sequence and continue on from there with what you said?

Or would your proposed plan also just end up like this in the final product and you laid it out like this because it’s already the most viable route into this mess? 😅

And that’s the thing:

Assuming it did, you couldn’t see it approach until it hit you because it’s moving at the speed of light! It could also have happened, but just super far away such that it will never reach us due to expansion between its origin point and us being faster than c!

Also just because the universe is frickin old doesn’t mean it is statistically bound to have happened. There are plenty of ways of making it even more astronomically unlikely but still possible…

Okay what the hell did I just read?

From my very very rough and cursory glance though: wouldn’t this also likely be infringed by games such as Genshin Impact for their Auto “fuse” (aka enhancement) selection mechanic or does this patent have some more nuanced/specific thing which everyone else did not implement to skirt around it?

No! Mit like that! You macro is all wrong! Now we won’t be able to capture the dragon on the ridge in the right framing!

(What do you mean, Bob Ross never painted any drains‽)

Thanks for sharing this as well! I also just imaged a detached hand + short bit of lower arm pushing the ball (for which I did imagine it to be of a gray shiny metal slightly larger than the hand)!

And I also imaged a super plain square wooden table so when the questions about the person hit I was super confused wether or not this counted as aphantasia or not (because I am fairly certain that I don’t have it…)

Except most of those people who don’t know enough to recover most likely also use the default “all your data are belong to OneDrive” and thus won’t lose absolutely everything and no one group of livid people will both be livid enough and big enough at the same time for a lot to change…

Also although you will have a hard(-ish) time scratching the glass by using a good shirt if you have any kind of coating on your glasses (such as a blue filter or anti-reflex coating or whatever) you CAN easily scratch those (usually)!

It’s a wheel, it’s supposed to turn over and over and over and infinitum!

/S (because it’s big sarcasm instead of small.)

No no! They were talking about the police chili last night! That was some serious ass-suicide this morning …

No don’t listen to them!

Keikaku means cake! (Muffin to be precise, because we got the muffin button!)

Didn’t one of the original devs die and his son “take over” for a last few polishing updates/as a memorial?

Or was that another “small” game series? 🙈

Well I specifically thought about “without using tools or tools like things” aka without needing fingernails or teeth…

And yes, most duck tape (not the actual brand stuff mind you!) I have encountered in my life we’re pretty much tear resistant to the point of folding over and crumpling multiple times before even looking separable! Unless I used a pair of scissors to cut it or switched to gaffers tape which was insanely easy to separate even with only one hand! (While holding it in said hand!)

Now that you mention this though, I might just have interacted with very ‘badly’ (for a sufficiently narrow definition of badly) made tape up to this point 😅

Panzertape can either be sort of like duck tape or like gaffer tape (with the actual fibers inside visible/noticable).

The way I usually distinguish gaffer from no gaffer is: can you easily (and I mean easily!) rip it into the desired size and does doing so sometimes/potentially leave small strands of “thread” at the end of the roll? If yes it’s very likely gaffer tape and awesome!

Also that’s literally Sir Primitive Technology on that picture, so you had nothing to worry about even from the start!

Have fun solving them! :D

Your likely looking for the app “Puzzles” ob Android or one of its desktop versions, I am not entirely sure if they are actually open source but there are at least some people’s contributions and it not only has “Killer” sudoku but a whole bunch of additional options (as well as tons of other awesome puzzle/logic games)!

Uff this started out for me as being “easy! Minecraft, Factorio and a third one!”

And then quickly and only devolved into an abyss of deliberation…

• Do I take EU4+DLC+Anbennar because then I would finally have an excuse to actually learn and play this damn game? (Plus having base game and Anbennar basically doubles the replayability)
• Do I take VintageStory so I can finally learn to actually play it well and start creating meaningful mods for it?
• Should I take Noita or Caves of Qud? Should they be replacements for DF?
• Is either of Civ V or Civ VI replayable about for me for this much time?

And from there the more basic questions:

• Does any of the three games need to be entertaining enough to basically always run or could/should it suffice to simply rotate between them?
• How much time would I reasonably want to spend playing vs creating?
• Also am I allowed to spend some time basically daydreaming every day (aka the games are meant more to actually keep me sane rather than get people to recommend good games they have given thought and time to?) or should they/would I want them to keep me occupied basically 15/7?

So yeah, Minecraft probably still stands as there are way too many mods and building ideas for it to (probably?) become truly stale in a lifetime!

And Factorio because I still want to actually finish an AB run for once, or a SE run, or … You get the idea. Buut the third slot would likely be a make or break for this whole endeavor and now it’s back to square one again!

Without the creators having any way to patch in even harder endgame content because you got too close to finishing it too!

Okay first of all this message is really nicely written to explain multi collision attacks! (I knew some stuff about hashing and collision attacks before but not about multi collision and why that would be really useful here.)

However, I first thought they were looking for inputs which basically preserve a known state and then generating an alphabet with those kinds of blocks (basically have one for each symbol and up to n additional blocks to “reset” the state to the known value) because that could shrink the size of stored blocks by a lot (I’d imagine).

But now I am wondering if that’s even possible currently (even with an algorithm as “broken” as MD5 has become now)?
