I am truly grateful that they don't. Can you imagine that jiggly, fleshy fruit hanging from a tree?

Inherited wealth is still luck in a sense. They happened to be the lucky one in their rich dad's balls while I had the bad luck of being in the balls of a drunk asshole

There was an interesting study done with zebra finches. In it they glued fake mohawkes on males and found that females selected them over unaltered males, even though it didn't naturally occur in the species. So there is some precedence for the possibility that the forward facing eyes were simply "sexier".

That is certainly a fact, but I'm not sure I'd consider it a fun one.

How did Canada come up with its country name?

C "eh" N "eh" D "eh"

So honest question here:

Why can't it be used to transmit information? Wouldn't we be able to capture the state and use that be turned into instructions the same way we use binary currently?

Binary is essentially just a series of "on" and "off" states that we capture and translate into instructions, so why can't we do that with entangled particles? Like position 6 translates into instructions F and position 2 triggers instructions B.

I know this is overly simplified but I do not follow that we can't send information this way when looking at it through this lense.

I mean if they are the ones setting them on fire they don't need to claim it is arson since it is. They just need to claim they weren't the arsonists.

Yup and are comparable in price to eggs currently I didn't say it was a practical alternative just that they work as a perfect replacement. More of just highlighting there are options.

One of my kids is super allergic to eggs so we've gone years without them in the house and found ways to adjust recipes due to that and other food allergies.

Look up vegan alternatives to eggs. I know applesauce can be used in cookies as my wife has done this. Also if you need eggs in savory recipes avocados have the same fat to protein ratio and work great

I'm with you brother, my wife makes fun of how many pickles I eat. They are a staple in my refrigerator.

I worked tech support for years and the trick is to just start off with a list of everything you've done. Even if you haven't done it just hit them with that list. Most people working tier 1 support don't actually know anything about technology and just have a list of steps to take. Once they've exhausted that list they are lost and have no clue what to do and that's when they would hit me up on their help desk.

Another aspect of it could also be that they assume you don't know what you're talking about and are just regurgitating something you read somewhere. You wouldn't believe how many times someone would call in with something like this "I just need this xyz solution" and they would be completely wrong about it. For the reps that know what they are doing this is at least 1 or 2 calls a day for them.

Look at the monitor brand. Took me a minute to catch it too
