Most railings I’ve seen really need to be higher. If the top isn’t higher than your center of gravity, there’s very little preventing you from going over.

Probably wasn’t even coded in assembly.

Other than the cooking thing, which is more us understanding it’s better for us than a hard requirement, humans are actually amazing omnivores. Dogs and wolves are some of our closest competitors there and we’re still miles ahead.

Ye olde sieges cut off supply lines and forced the defenders to subsist on rations. Once those started running low, they started starving. Eventually the options were starve to death or surrender. These sieges frequently lasted months and sometimes years. Given travel times, it could also be weeks before anyone realized something was wrong and mobilized a force to break the siege.

Ukraine can only do infrequent drone raids. In order to properly siege Moscow, they would need to lock down all ways in and out of the city, and keep it that way for months, possibly longer given modern food preservation techniques and the viability of backyard farming. Additionally, sieging a city no longer prevents the people from communicating with the outside world, meaning other Russian forces would respond in days.

Abandoning citizenship usually requires jumping through hoops, and I wouldn’t be surprised if she had to return to Russia to file the paperwork.

In other instances, though, it’s actually really easy to inherit multiple citizenship, especially if one of those is American. You’re automatically an American citizen if you were born in the US or if either of your parents was an American citizen at the time of your birth. Additionally, anyone born to two Russian parents is automatically a Russian citizen, or if they were born in Russia to at least one Russian parent. So if a Russian couple who went to America after the USSR collapsed but didn’t bother renouncing their citizenship and then had kids, those kids would have both Russian and American citizenship. Alternatively, if an American citizen went to the Russian Federation and had a child with a local, the child would also have dual citizenship.

What about the pigeon poop?

We’re only post-scarcity for certain things in certain geopolitical regions, and even then, logistics of distributing those things is a problem. Computers, for example, will always be scarce in their current form because the raw materials to build them are naturally scarce, can only be extracted so fast, and have a limited ability to be recycled. We have a shit-ton of them, but they’re still scarce.

Yeah, I’m American and have no idea what a conker is unless it’s having a bad fur day.

Best to remember that certain sensitivities, like lactose intolerance, are actually the rule rather than the exception. Lactose tolerance is only the majority in certain populations of European or Middle Eastern origin. A bunch of them are also mostly harmless and just cause indigestion rather than anything serious. I am lactose intolerant and eating cheese just means I’ll be gassy and spend more time on the toilet later, so long as I’m not eating to excess. Since they don’t actually kill you most of the time, they get selected out at a very slow rate.

Seriously, everyone points to our brains and thumbs as to why we’re the dominant species on the planet, but our ability to eat damn near everything is also a major factor. We can eat a wide range of plants and animals native to every region of every continent. Wolves/dogs are our closest competition there and they can only eat a fraction of what we can eat. This made us completely unlimited in where we could go and colonize way back in the stone age.

It’s been proposed. Do a search for “soup tubes.”

For example, it is the reason why there are almost no calico/tri-colour male cats, as the genes for it are in X but not Y chromosomes

And the male calicos that exist actually have Klinefelter syndrome, where they wound up with an extra X chromosome, making them XXY instead of XY.

1080p video streams are also much more compressed than BD. I can’t always tell, but when I can it’s because there are distracting artifacts on the stream.

Guess I’m not going to MIT, then.

Well, that was dumb of me. I was going from memory at lunch and just linked a thing. Point is, you can force one, but you need to do something that eats a lot of RAM, not something silly like walking into a particular wall.

Blood Moons will also happen if the system is running low on RAM. The BM resets a bunch of stuff, like monster spawns, and since the game is no longer tracking that you killed a particular set of bokoblins or whatever there is more free RAM. This is called a panic blood moon, is very rare, and difficult to force.

Curling either my pinkie or my middle finger also causes my ring finger to curl. Curling my ring finger doesn’t affect my pinkie or middle finger, though.

The X axis is time, the Y axis is steps or ingredients or something. The leftmost column is just ingredients. Check out the marshmallow one, for instance. The first step (upper left corner) is to soak the attached ingredients (gelatin and water) for ten minutes. The box below about boiling is simultaneous, but attached to different ingredients. The step after that is to mix the two batches you just produced together. Then mix in the salt until fluffy, then mix in vanilla. Let it cool for three hours, then cut it, then top with the final ingredient, which is powdered sugar.

Even the 45 day bit that you quoted is awful for reasons you didn’t mention. If you don’t get a job in 45 days they just keep filing (if they’re filing at all) and keep your money.
