But also how long after take off do you retract the flaps? Can it be a pilot error (took off without flaps?). It happened more than once in the past, though I thought a modern plane like the dreamliner would make that mistake nearly impossible.
Best not to tell that story. There was that story of an explorer lost in the jungle who had to kill and eat his loyal dog for the sake of survival. People on the internets did not like it.
I have always thought the only reasonable way when capable is as a vegetarian. But I feel less well, unambiguously so as one, which is part of why I'm not one.
When I was one, I'd make a few exceptions each year. At the time, I was a serious competitive chess player with a well obscured tendency for occasional brilliance. But mediocrity was my primary trait. On every occasion, without failure, these carnivorous exceptions would lift my mediocrity into formidable respectability. Every time.
Killing and salivating on animals for the sake of a board game is macabre. Though it was not only chess. For me, much else is affected by the absence or presence of this mysterious substance.
I wish we had figured out the true reasons for this by now, because protein supplements never quite matched or equalled the results of a properly ingurgitated beast chunk. I still wonder. I certainly want to change it.
This is a good opportunity for prayer, to ask or beckon the seemingly aloof mind of the aether for wisdom and express a will for something better. To ponder.

Existentially, I oppose this universe. It's magnificence aside, there's something shameful about its role as a giant digestive system where its every component is eating itself, fastidiously vying for energy exchange ever malcontent. Stars eating stars, beast eating beast, particles eating waves.... An insatiable auto cannibal, a meandering mongoloid ouroboros, a mockery of the inevitable perpetual motion device that birthed it billions of years ago.
I protest this frothing stolid bang of intractable drooling entropy. I wish it would leave the chickens and everyone else alone.
The most plausible explanation lies in how much early childhood memories and the emotional state of our caretakers in certain situations will form our later experience. It doesn’t have to bring up explicit memories, in fact most situations only “trigger“ emotional memory. You may not remember any even if you try; tools like hypnosis and constellations can bring up some.
Is it thinkable that one or both of your parents felt nice in meatful situations, which allowed you as a child to relax and feel safe?
We are a container full of memories. Reprogramming requires more than just a different cognitive decision in the present. I claim there is nothing physically inherent in meat that creates your emotional response.

I wish i could find the Huberman podcast episode again where he was interviewing some researcher or so who went over a wide host of less known compounds beneficial for the brain in some minor ways. Far too often he opened with having to disappoint the vegans or vegetarians because these were only found in (red) meat and/or fish or so.
It's been a long time since but i remember coming to the conclusion from that and some research that whilst you didn't need to eat a lot of those for it (I'd assume less than the average western diet except maybe of fatty fish) there was no way to supplement all of them and live "optimally" without em.
Are there beneficial compounds that are only found in meat? Sure. But that doesn't mean they're essential nor that they are superior to the other swathes of beneficial compounds available in any other foods.
It's a weak claim.
There are beneficial compounds unique to pretty much every food you can think of like avenanthramides in oats, curcumin in turmeric, and sulforaphane precursors unique to broccoli. It doesn't mean you need every last one of them to optimize your health.
And in some cases like fatty red meat, the juice isn't necessarily worth the squeeze.
While lab-grown cell cultures can be a solution for making fake meat for rich vegans, it is unlikely to ever become an efficient protein production method.
There already exists an alternative protein production method, the use of a genetically-modified strain of some fungus (currently there exist such strains of the fungus Trichoderma), which has been modified to produce a soluble protein with optimal amino-acid profile, i.e. either whey protein or chicken egg white protein. This method can produce protein powders at a low cost, with the potential to become cheaper than the same proteins from milk or eggs.
I have experimented for a few years with using only vegetable protein sources, but I have eventually given up, because the restrictions that this imposed on my meal choices were not worthwhile.
Now, I use besides vegetable protein sources also some whey protein concentrate powder (which not only has a better composition, but it is also much cheaper than any industrially-produced plant protein extract, having about the same price as chicken meat). Thus I can cook whatever vegetable food I want without worrying about the protein content or the amino-acid profile. When necessary, I mix protein powder in the food that I am cooking, to ensure an adequate protein intake.
This is good enough for me, because even if I enjoyed eating various kinds of meat in the past I feel no need now to eat fake meat.
Here on HN there was last year some news about a startup attempting to produce proteins in this way, by fungal cultures, but at least for now they had in mind only industrial customers. Nevertheless, if in the future such cheap fungus-produced protein powders became available at retail, that would solve for me, and for others who might not care about expensive fake meat, the problem of the protein content of a vegan diet.
In the old vegetarian days I had found Quorn, a peculiarly named mycelium based imitation meat product line. I found it exceedingly palatable. I doubt the wholesomeness of it though.
Real question: is this a problem? I assume a chicken would eat eggs if you cooked it. Seems like it would eventually stop working because of physics, but is there another reason why a chicken couldn't eat eggs and keep producing more eggs?
Chickens definitely can and do eat eggs. Ideally cooked, good protein source for them.
However, you have a big problem if they discover they can crack eggs and eat the contents. They go crazy on them and it's difficult to get them to stop.
The malware doesn’t send all the content of the wallet to itself, it just replaces the recipient address in the clipboard (so you wouldn’t notice unless you checked the address). The 100k I think are cumulatively, though if it is 9btc, it’s more like 1m.
It would allow a synthetic virus to get a foothold in your cells more easily, but our cells don't make Pseudouridine naturally which throws a big wrench in the ability of a virus to copy itself. And without replication you don't have a serious infection.
I would be surprised if viruses using U instead of T didn't already exist. After all, don't all viruses work by doing gene editing in vivo, except just localized to one cell?
EDIT: well, I suppose the question is whether cells of living beings could produce the U required for the viruses. But if not, then a wild virus using U instead of T to bypass our immunity also would not be a threat for that very reason.
It’s not the use of Uracil/Urimidine that bypasses the immune system. RNA uses Uracil instead of thymine in all organisms afaik, and RNA viruses certainly exist. It’s pseudouridine that’s the magic stuff.
Not that remote, seems to be less than a 100km away from an airport, a short helicopter ride. Surely someone must have visited the site to figure out what's underneath the vegetation.
“We found this unexplored site; our next step is to bomb the shit out of the area nearby so we can land a helo there to check if it’s sacred to someone…”
And honestly if you do a proper diet to lose serious weight, you are going to save much of that in food. If you are not doing a diet, then you have no business taking those products.
That being said, there aren't many major HDD manufacturers anymore, nor do they have many models. Synology is using vanilla linux features like md and lvm. You don't think those manufacturers have tested their drives against vanilla linux?
