  • I think those are just called repellents. Like using cheese instead of water in stews.

  • But the entire point of the repellent is that mosquitoes cannot feed in its presence and you are saying that it has been admitted not only that they infact can but once they have then they are more likely to come back. That is like a stab proof vest being marketed with the proviso that the vest does actually allow you to be stabbed and when you are stabbed it will encourage more stabbing later.

  • No you would have an infinite cascade of dimes.

  • Manufacturers have suggested users should not stop using their insect repellent simply because it does not repel insects. Insect repellent has many other benefits beyond repelling insects such as smelling bad and being sticky.

  • Its the Microsoft approach to consent, yes or ask me again in three days.

  • Very little seems to be beyond the incredulity of MS meetings, remember they had a meeting where someone suggested the OS take a screenshot every ten seconds of whatever the user was doing and upload it to MS servers and rather than everyone laughing they agreed to move it into development.

  • Should it not be condensed not liquefied gas?

  • I would suggest the preferable term re--extantion as extinction is a definitive event and any species de-extincted was strictly never extinct in hindsight and so yields runtime errors in the brain like Kirk overloading a supercomputer.

  • This is just getting silly, what next an ancient species of horse the opposite of the iconic type, albino with a single tooth growing out of the top of its head, would be a very uniconic horse.

  • When you allow a tiny subset to so plunder a population that the basic human rights of shelter, food and free thought become effectively more unattainable than they were in feudal medieval Europe then members of that population do not have any invested interest in the continuation of the system, even if that involves their own extinction. The pressures are sufficient to override the fundamental organic urge to survive and reproduce.

  • The entire dynamic is off somehow, so age verification is for the safety of children but won't be implemented on some platforms for reasons that are by extension more pressing than child safety, as if such reasons might exist. It is almost like age verification is actually nothing to do with child safety.

  • Tariff induced worldwide game of top trumps.

  • I would not accuse the legislators of any decency of thought only that open source would be far harder to police due to its more nebulous and intermingled path to the client with far less money at the end of it.

  • I am not really sure you understand how language works.

  • You are just talking about scale, they are both guns.

  • If they are paid they are professional and not all mercenaries are paid in coin.

  • They are called mercenaries and the practice is as old as war.

  • If I had been the project leader on this it would have had an even greater capacity because I would have taped a couple of keyring flash drives around the edge.
