I don’t mind onions when they’re used as a real ingredient. French onion soup, stir-fry, onion rings, all good. Onions also make decent filler in soup and curry, but I think the only soup I’ve had without onion is cheese & broccoli. Every ground meat I’ve seen uses onions as filler, so every burger, nearly every taco, most sausages, every lasagna, every spring roll, all have that onion taste.
If leeks were used like this, I’d probably hate them too.
That suggests we can change the superposition collapse distance by changing how much were observing. By measuring the proportion of change as we turn on or off large-scale observation systems, we can calculate how much of the universe is being loaded by other users. We can finally start solving the drake equation!
Genes aren’t the only inherited trait. Environment, wealth, culture, and ideas are also roughly passed down to offspring, but these can’t modify the genome, only the gene expression.
Of course it gets way more complex as these things do change fitness which does apply evolutionary pressure to the genome, but you can’t get bigger muscle genes by working out.
That is to say, there are some Lamarckian effects, but it’s all by Darwinian mechanics.
Hundreds of other things? I just said 15 things!
There’s definitely tab rot though, and coming back to an area often sees half of the tabs cleared before continuing. I can’t imagine that kind of turnover with bookmarks though, especially with how comparatively clunky removing bookmarks is.
Boockmarks don’t updated themselves either, so keeping my place in a story or post list is way harder. Tabs also maintain physical correlations, with a parent tab closing all children when closed, and staying near where you use them. Bookmarks need to be explicitly organized and updated, taking several clicks for each, instead of being organized and updated just by using them.
How often are tabs processed? Most tabs get closed before they’re a week old, some groups are reused every week --TTRPG references mostly-- currently using ~15 tabs: 5 indexes, 2 character sheets, 5 common references, and whatever weird stuff was relevant last session
Other groups are used or closed as projects are worked on: 6 tabs for Factorio calculators, ~10 tabs for exoplanet research for worldbuilding, ~20 game tutorials (these could probably be bookmarks), ~15 wikis for the various games I’ve played in the last few months (half could be bookmarks), ~10 tabs for setting up my new phone (these will be closed soon), 5 tabs I just closed because I stopped needing them, ~5 youtube series I listen to while I work, as the topic strikes me, ~15 individual videos I’ll probably watch in the next few weeks (several are 2+ hours long), ~15 music tabs of either specific songs or topics I listen to as the fancy strikes me, ~20 tabs of bugs and issues I’ve been having (which will get cleared when I resolve them or stop caring), ~20 tabs of research for a work project (15 will probably be closed immediately)(should probably not be in my personal browser), ~10 tabs of stuff I just looked up in the last couple of days and haven’t closed yet, And probably 10 aspirational tabs of stuff I’d like to get to in the future, but probably won’t (definitely won’t if they’re bookmarks).
I’ve touched ~80% in the last 3 months, and ~50% this month, although my phone has a lot more old aspirational tabs.
When it comes to a list building up, what’s the difference between old tabs and old bookmarks anyway? Neither are using any resources. A link wouldn’t be and more or less important as a bookmark than a tab.
I quite like this one.
No, some items have a dozen tabs associated, and others are recurring tasks.
I only have maybe 15 topics in my tabs, half are waiting on something else to be resolved, and a sixth are videos to be watched.
Closing all tabs is default behavior.
Tabs are part checklist. If I use bookmarks, they go out of siht, out of mind. As tabs there’s a reminder to resolve the topic.
Disagree, one of the reasons I’m an onion hater is precisely because they’re in flipping everything. Anything savoury is likely to have that pervasive thickness that chases any other flavour out.
Quick, someone make a heavier Honda Accord and destroy the universe!
“You like pets? Name every pet!”
“Eukaryota”
Technically, this is processed cake. Yellow cake that is.
As a Canadian, I share your confusion. I think that phrase was just a common descriptor of mitochondria in US textbooks, or a catchy line in a popular US biology video.
It’s just strange enough to make a big impression on bored students, so I’m not surprised it’s been memed so hard.
This isn’t learned behaviour though. The kites tried eating the invasive snails immediately, but they were too large to be cracked by their beaks, being two to five times larger.
The change to eating the larger non-native snails was facilitated by larger beaks seen in the years after the invasion.
It seems like the local applesnail had a crash due to drought in the early 2000’s (partly caused by the draining of wetlands for development), and the invasive island applesnail was first seen in 2004. There are even more species of invasive snail now, but the opportunity likely arose because of a population crash.
The fittest in this case are the kits that can eat the snails they find, not by being less picky, but by having larger beaks.
Evolution is just the change in allele frequency of a population over generations. This includes 90% of the population dying before they figure out new food.
Cats were originally used for their curiosity, but training hamsters and eventually parakeets led to much smaller machines.
By that argument, most of these should be black.
Selecting one wavelength are discarding all the others, and sometimes shifting that wavelength to a more convenient hue is great for science, but feels like cheating when looking for a specific colour.
It’s like looking for pictures of red cars, and getting a car that’s 90% rust, a picture taken in a forest fire, and a picture taken through red-tinted glass.
Hey! I’m using one of those devices!
And adding more fuel to a fire make it burn hotter and faster. Largers stars die faster, so more fuel will reduce the lifespan.
