There are anaerobic bacteria that don’t need oxygen to survive. That was the norm before The Great Oxidation Event when cyanobacteria started releasing oxygen into the atmosphere during photosynthesis. Prior to that there was very little oxygen in the atmosphere, and anaerobic bacteria ruled the world.

After the GOE the high concentration of oxygen killed off most of the anaerobic bacteria, and what was left were organisms that made a blood truce with oxygen. Aerobic organisms gained incredible power from utilizing oxygen for metabolism, but eventually die from the accumulated damage the oxygen does to them.

The bends doesn’t necessarily kill you. It definitely can if the decompression is fast enough with a large pressure differential, but it can also cause pain or dizziness without death.

You sound like the kind of person that thinks tomatoes are vegetables.

I never said that you said those things. You said you were the last generation to understand technology and not just use it, which is quite frankly ridiculous and untrue - especially for anyone with work ethic and intelligence.

Get off your high horse old man. Millennials were born into technology, molded by it. We live and breathe it, and also grew up in a world where things most definitely did not just work.

I think you significantly underestimate the ingenuity and problem solving abilities of the younger generations. My Gen Z coworkers are extremely smart and hard working and understand how things work just as well, if not better than older generations.

Gitlab has a checkbox for squashing merge requests into a single commit. Not sure if GitHub has that too.

Nah, you just need to be really specific in the requirements you give it. And if the scope of work you’re asking for is too large you need to do the high level design and decompose it into multiple parts for chatgpt to implement.

iPhone to iPhone uses iMessage. Android to Android uses RCS. iPhone to Android uses SMS, but that will change soon when Apple finally joins the modern age and implements RCS.

Some people also use signal or WhatsApp, but it’s not as common here.

It’s interesting that the solstice is considered mid summer in Sweden. In the US I’ve usually heard that the solstice is the start of summer

When people talk about saving the bees they usually mean the ones responsible for feeding us.

This is funny, but flat earthers don’t believe in a heliocentric solar system, so it would be lost on them.

The joke is that Venus is special.

Not all of them:

That may be so, but IIRC he was charged with breaking into MIT’s networking room and illegally tapping into their network to get the articles:

From the article you linked:

When it comes to the shortest whiskers, the Sphynx usually has no whiskers at all or very short, brittle ones. As Sphynx cats tend to have a harder time fitting into small spaces, it’s best to keep them safe inside.

How do you know OP cut them?

Viruses at least have DNA though. Prions are far, far simpler by comparison.

How do you vaccinate against a protein?

Got it! That makes sense. Thanks for explaining.

I feel like the truthful brother would say his brother likes small butts, because that’s the truth.

Am I missing something? If you ask brother A, he would say his brother likes small butts. If you ask brother B, he would also say his brother likes small butts. How do you differentiate?
