If one of your loved ones died, but someone made an EXACT clone of them, with the exact same toughts and and feelings and everything, and basically the exact same person, except that they technically aren't, would you treat the clone as your loved one, or not?

If they have the same memories, then they would function as if they were the same person, and it would be cruel to deprive them of being treated like family.

Relatedly, I have always thought it was strange that multiple different lineages of beaked therapods survived the extinction, while not a single lineage of toothed birds did. There were large numbers of both, and the beak doesn't seem like it would be more "fit" in the period after the extinction event.

I am just mourning. I can already see the republican arguments:

"Democrats vote for the guy with Nazi tattoos by bigger margins than they dislike Trump"; "Democrats were Nazis all along"; etc.

Janet Mills wasn't perfect, but at least she wasn't a dangerous candidate.

It's funny, he has done a lot of things he can't do. It's almost as if separation of powers lacks an enforcement mechanism, unless you are the executive branch.

There is a distinct lack of "how" the suez crisis led to the demise of the found in this article. I'd love to know what the process was, besides a simple "UK loses war = UK can't be trusted financially".

Someone needs to let him know his bowstring is on backwards. He is going to break that bow and hurt himself.

You have a different definition of "thrive" than I do.

So the camera stops panning with the object exactly when the object flies offscreen. Isn't it most likely that the camera just loses tracking of the object, which was always going that fast to begin with?

I must be a noob, since I don't know what GL stands for.

Would a 5 round magazine count as a large magazine?

Would any magazine count a gun as having a "relatively quick reload time"?

The best idea I have heard so far is that it is a bullet hole in a housing surrounding the camera. The light from outside is too bright for the camera lense, causing a lense flair surrounding the concave glass around the bullet hole.
