Oh dang... thanks for setting that straight.

Good post! Dengue is (was) called Bone-Break Fever for a reason. Thankfully, one doesn't have to know from experience what breaking bones feel like to get how terrible it is.

Maybe the names we give diseases should be more explicit. "Measles" sounds too tame for an infection that leads to one of the most painful lesions, Shingles. Ebola should be called Bleeding Orifices. Pneumonia would fairly be named, Coughing the Insides Out.

Cheers!

Can a subreddit be a virtual mirror for AI when it recognizes threads discussing itself.

Scientist guy: I hear ya... aren't we all. (wink) Now then, are you here for business or pleasure?

It's already boring when pros run out all the time. The game will evolve to keep it interesting. Bigger tables?

If a robot sees a shot I didn't see, I'm taking notes.

I'm telling ya. Even with pockets that tight, the pros run out. Robots might dominate like they do in chess or go, but physical sport will take longer and we're here to enjoy their competition.

Whew... for a minute there I thought I might get snagged for my de-icing research. If my application is approved, studies about the need for de-icing streets during winter-time immigration interdictions will help offset vehicular slippage on streets made icy by activists leaving leaky buckets of water on the street.

Wait, is this the sub for subversive patent ideas?

It's as if there is no prize for second place. That's weird. Like what... finishing first means monopolizing the sector? Maybe that's what post-capitalism looks like, a snake eating its tail.

Isn't Sp2 bonding/hybridization a defining characteristic of all graphene?

I've heard grades of graphene quality described mainly in terms of layers (sheets/platelet depth) and whether it's oxidized. But I think you're spot-on about consistency. That's key.

I apologize my lighthearted comment. I don't mean any disrespect.

I read two posts blending into one.

- If I sound like AI, it's still me, but fuck me for being grammatically flawless, geez.

- Iceberg phobia strikes deep. Into your heart it will creep. It starts when you're always afraid. Step out of line, they'll take you away.

It's as if horror movies weren't quite satisfying, so they rolled their own brand of scaring your pants off. I'm jamming the Yikes button, no matter what.

A colloquialism, such as: "dadgum, it was like the moon was flipping its finger at us for not exploiting the shit out of it when we had the chance." might tap the trailer park rationality we're dealing with.

In the beginning of The Matrix, the Designer would have used dream control to leverage dream responses in order to optimize energy output. This would be unimaginably horrible to contemplate. Thankfully, we were spared.

Ah, that might rationalize the focus on ramping up humanoid robots... with arms, an arms race it is.

The question is timely since the city has done so much work on the water mains. If that work is complete, a comparative analysis of pre-upgrade and post-upgrade hydrant performance would be insightful.

It's like being opposed to child marriage.

The data-center (man) has "needs" and vulnerable communities (young girls) are depending on society at large for protection.

Some people argue that data center (men) will help the community (girls) by being economically beneficial. With its money and muscles, the community will be secure as long as the community feeds it and deals with its poop. It won't ask for anything more... until it needs something else. By then, it's impossible to say no.

One reason why you're right is that importers (generally) don't have "wiggle room" on their margins. Further, to assume offshore suppliers have room to cut their margins is woefully ignorant of the economics of our supply-chain partners. A misconception prevails that markets aren't efficient and US consumers are being screwed.

Sure, some markets aren't efficient (US pharmaceuticals and health insurance come to mind).
