Even if it were an exact clone I don’t think a single company should have a monopoly on the idea for almost 30 years. Pokemon red was released in 1996, 28 years ago. Why should they still be able to be the only company that releases pokemon-type games?

Is it only through the skin? I could see it being useful for some sort of implanted medical device/monitoring system.

That way you have something subcutaneous but the power source is strapped to the outside of your body so you can remove for short periods of time to wash/recharge it.

Why not both?

It’s not necessarily the companies in this case at least not for the tomato sauce.

It’s deceiving how much sugar is also in natural, unprocessed and healthy foods.

According to Google there’s about 2.6g of sugar in a 100g tomato, and it takes roughly 2200g of tomato’s to make a jar of sauce the size of a 680g jar of ragu, which according to their nutritional facts has about 43g of sugar in the jar, whereas the raw tomato’s themselves would have contained about 56g of sugar.

It takes a lot of tomatos to make pasta sauce. Even a little sugar in one tomato adds up quick.

I mean, can you really say that something doesn’t have a colour if you see it as that colour? Does it really matter that the colour is coming from different refractive indexes rather than that wavelength not being absorbed by the material? If it consistently happens in that set of circumstances, isn’t it fair to say that is its colour? I.e. the coating, oil slicks

As an ex-zookeeper, Yes, because of multiple reasons.

A) Seasonal vegetables are cheap and often donated B) Seasonal items increase social media activity. C) Seasonal items are typically in-line with natural cycles that align with wild animals.

There’s literally no downside. Financial benefit, social benefit, and benefits to the well-being for the animal.

Yes I know, but I was just trying to put into the perspective the person I was replying to.

If only they let you filter out games from being seen on your store page or showing up in recommendations using this as a criteria.

Except the lifetime of the universe is quite small when compared to infinity, so it doesn’t really convey how large infinity is because it’s so much more.

That seems… Inefficient?

New Social media pops up every other year or so. Do they need to meet and vote to add new ones to the list every time?

I used chat gpt, mostly because I absolutely hate how widespread and pushy every company has been about using AI and throwing it in my face so I stubbornly refuse to use any of it.

Sometimes it’s helpful if I’m having trouble making a specific excel formula

Are they trying to prove that they can vote without being identified or something?

Mosquitos aren’t some special niche. Take out mosquitos and something else moves in to replace them, something that doesn’t bite.

There’s nothing that solely depends on mosquitos, and wouldn’t prefer to eat other things which mosquitos may be suppressing by existing themselves.

It’s a pretty ineffective strategy, but I’m just going off this one photo.

If it’s genetic, and the females can’t get a blood meal, then they won’t lay any eggs to pass on those genetics and just die.

Then the ones without that gene will lay all their eggs and the next generation will be unchanged and they have to spend all that money again to do whatever they did which had no effect.

I mean, do you expect news to be free?

Either pay for it by selling your data or with money, or don’t use their website.

What if all ads are 30seconds long, would it be impossible to lock skipping anywhere for the first 30seconds of every video?

One solution could be during PC initial setup, a list of all browsers above a certain user count is given and the person chooses which to install and use as default with the ability to change at a later date.

Eh, maybe it’s different for people that only have to fill their tank every 3-4 weeks. I need to refill at least once per week so it’s rare I save any significant amount of money filling up 2 days before I regularly would.

I’m also not sure why everyone would have the same price in mind to start immediately filling their tank at the “cheap” price to trigger a 12% increase amongst 8 different chains of gas stations all at the same time.

Many would be waiting for a few cents more or already pulled the trigger a few cents before.

I just don’t think gasoline follows most free market supply/demand rules as much as most things.

Personally I don’t believe that’s the case. Most people fill up when they need to fill up not because it reached a magic price. It’s not like most people have a choice and can say they aren’t going to drive to work this week because gas needs to drop a few more cents before they go fill up.
