There's mounting evidence to indicate that plants have their own slow-motion version of pain, memory, and communication. So going vegan to prevent animal suffering is kind of like the Chick-fil-A cows who say to eat more chicken, except it's the plants who become the target.
Still, it's probably a lot easier for most people to accept that animals have feelings than to feel bad for eating plants. I get that. I just wanted to point out that not everybody wins.
Of course, there's also the point that the plants wouldn't be grown at all if not to be eaten. But that same argument could be made for most of the animals in question, too.
This is kind of like the problem of robots replacing factory workers. Sure, the animals don't have to be eaten anymore, but now what will happen to them?
Methane, like carbon, is a greenhouse gas, but methane's global warming impact per molecule is 25 times greater than carbon's, according to the EPA.
I assume they mean carbon dioxide, right? Because if they're talking about pure carbon, I can't imagine it stays airborne for long enough to have much of an impact.
Maybe that's why it's so much less effective than methane.
Are the Radeon RX 470 and RX460 cards actually relevant in any way? Are they somehow going to be offered as an aftermarket option for the laptops or something? I don't see any other reason they'd be tacked on like they were.
Why don't we just keep a record of the genetic sequence of the virus? Doesn't the technology exist to rebuild the virus if we know its DNA sequence? Even if it doesn't exist now, it could reasonably be expected to exist in the relatively near future, right?
Then we could destroy all the actual samples, but no information would be lost. If it became necessary for research at a later date, whatever couldn't be simulated could be made from scratch.
I don't know how many of the 181,000 were duplicates, but if each "ugly hack" had 10 duplicates, that would still leave nearly 16,500 "ugly hacks" to study in-depth. I can't imagine a scenario in which that would be a worthwhile use of however many years it would take.
"Astronomers can calculate quite accurately how much lithium they expect to find in the early Universe," can they? How do they know it's accurate? What control values are they using?
It's not entirely semantic, either; it goes on to say, "But the numbers don't match."
I work as a lab tech in a veterinary clinical pharmacology lab, and I can see what you mean.
Personally, I spend a large portion of my time working on our pharmacology database. One of my favorite projects was using VBA to make MS Access fax results to our clients. Other projects include generating lists of samples and the tests they need to run, as well as scripts to integrate chromatograms.
"This patch removes an exploit that caused some machines running Windows XP to apply updates for other operating systems. To learn more about the update, read this knowledge base article..."
I get that this could be great for mimicking the mouse click/drag, or for interactive boxing games. But what about its law enforcement potential? How long until this is used to detect possible domestic violence?

Thus it was that the cow became an endangered species.
I came here for that, but then the power flickered and by the time I had reconnected, you had beaten me to it.
...is that my coworkers are 99% chimpanzee.
Wasn't really all that hard...

They can make water.
So can I, in a couple of hours.

Perhaps if they were covered in some sort of mirrored coating.

I think the article says "pounds." The euro symbol is different.
I was never a huge fan of their previous models, but this "VW Fiasco" has me intrigued. I hope it's in my price range.
Too many O's. Not enough marshmallows. 6/10.
I was sure you were going to name a coworker. Presumably an unattractive one with little applicable talent.

I understand how ants might be involved here, but what in the world is a "clasis"? Is it some kind of bicycle for ants?
I'm a fan of Swiss Miss.
Wow! I didn't know that. This knowledge just made my day brighter. I'll never look at sliced deli meats the same way!

So how is that "quite accurate"?
I just want to make sure you're trolling. You are, right?

"How much poor gameplay will players suffer through in exchange for utterly amazing graphics?"
It's just like real life! Incredible graphics, but with long stretches of boring mechanics. How long will we tolerate it?
Try GBrainy. It's a brain teaser sort of thing. I found it when it came with Edubuntu.
