    However GameStop does have like $9 billion in cash on hand if I recall correctly.

    MATH 217 was one of my favorites! Ive heard that the math department can be a little unenthusiastic about the non-major courses, but overall it’s a really welcoming place in my exp…

    Not sure it's quite so clean. My first was a a girl in underwear standing in front of a wall and turning while introducing herself "My name is __ and I am 19 years old..."

    You're not wrong. But over the enormous amount of time since, the "duplicate" organelles and systems needed for independent living were steadily carved out of mitochondria. While t…

    Unmodified C elegans can certainly live to 3x reproductive age, fwiw. These are all simplistic model organisms by definition but many nearly identical proteins are found in humans …

    True, though largely limited to DNA necessary for its functions. I don’t have a citation on me (mobile) but there’s evidence that more “generic” mitochondrial DNA was integrated in…

    In addition to the other comment, it's also missing a lot of card types that Anki supports. However, I think this is made up for by the knowledgebase features, so you can use it to…

    I can wholly recommend Mochi: it’s great looking but also quickly becoming feature competitive with Anki. It’ll be a long time before anything hits the long tail of Anki features, …

    Not just talking to the press, attempting to hire an attorney to represent the chatbot. Seems a little… eccentric.

    Amazing who you run into on this site. In High School (~2010 on) I played through your games as fast as you could make them. Thanks for the hours!

    HIPAA, maybe. HITECH and Meaningful Use would be more relevant (2009 onwards). It's been a while, but I remember thousands of pages of granular user-interface-level requirements (t…

    Is this something you're doing yourself for mental health or something being imposed upon you that you're trying to deal with?

    Computer-savvy people dismiss dark patterns like this as mostly-harmless prodding, but it really disorients the less able. For all industry pats itself on the back for accessibilit…

    It's "annoying" when Microsoft continually cons your dementia-suffering family members into switching their browser back to Edge, which has none of their logins or bookmarks. Confu…

    Very true; downtown feels like disneyland for the suburbs. I really hope it can make the transition into a more coherent city.

    I agree with you that some neighborhoods are being left behind by growth, but what is the alternative? Leaving aside race, Detroit needs to densify or die - nothing sustainable abo…

    Exactly what I mean - the cards end up just being a tech tree in practice. The PDX games really do just need more _content_. Haha - If you ever end up writing that game, send me a …

    Absolutely, it's been a long while since I booted up Stellaris. Something like Starnet and absurdly hard cling-to-life difficulties brings a little spice, but it's pretty much a so…

    You should adjust the "mid-game start year" and "late-game start year" sliders at game setup. Note that those are just the earliest possible start times, and the chance starts roll…

    Some of the comments report training themselves to produce closed-eye visuals, which I could believe with enough practice. I don't think that has anything to do with aphantasia, th…

    That said the script doesn't seem to work for this course, for me - it downloads sections 0 and 4 then terminates. Anyone else having this issue?

    Are there any articles you could link that go into more detail on soil restoration at scale, or specific examples of it?

    They allow you to order in advance for discounts, and book all the sales on one day as a PR exercise.
