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…

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…

But unless the page ends up as just a single canvas/image you’ll still get all the HTML tags which can be stripped before your browser renders them?

The thing is Randall already kind of did something like this in his “What-if?” which talked about a diamond meteor hitting the earth…

And basically it boils down to: Either Galileo/Newton/whoever was the smart fuck that discovered it was right and the meteor would only create a crater roughly as deep as it was itself. (This if it could touch the core it would be at least the same size as the earth and the picture would look different)

Or it would be going fast enough to ignore most of all that classical physics stuff, phase through most solid material and blow apart every piece of the earth because it would have enough energy to completely overcome the gravitational force holding everything to everything else here on earth.

(Now granted, those were the two extremes and there might just be a perfect balance in between, but I’m sure as hell not going to look for it! At the very least because getting funding for the experiments is seriously difficult for some reason…)

Nah that’s really not clear enough to shoehorn him in… I mean he still needs to be able to breathe!

So you are basically trying to humblebrag to everyone here that you already achieved a fucks-given-count of 0 for this app?

Impressive, if not a little underhanded. But still very impressive!

So is that the “Zange”? Because you need to go from the things you are holding (the information, in “German”) to the hinge (the literal English translation) and back down again (actual German translation) to understand (aka grasp it)‽

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? 🙈

Those are some fabulous brows you got there! How did you make them pop like that σwσ?

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)!

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)?

Except you already have that update installed, the box is not checked and the entry is still respected, nobody could possibly tell you why because that’s not how it’s supposed to work and everyone else works as stated! And now you have to live with the knowledge that your system is in some unobserved quantum superposition with a critical fix in place which may stop working at any moment for any reason and nobody can tell you how you even managed to get into this situation…

Aren’t we also “just” animals as well though?

(Not defending either side, I just really dislike it when statements suggest we aren’t also literally animals that somehow figured out to think slightly more than others…)
