a."i". generated cancer* for ad-driven bladder cancer test scam. Thing went awry with the left hand. Had to paste over something bladder-laboratory.

Thanks for the link. Graphic scrolling explainer but perhaps good if anyone still asked. Key takeaway: "Privacy is the right to be human. Privacy is the right to be imperfect." -- love that one.

Yes if i do not have to sweat too much, else i'd probably need more.

especially in high density corridors.

It would require building additional tracks (that would be expensive to maintain), so doubt it.

Electric resistance is not the primary cause of energy turnover in CMOS logic. See this comment in this same thread: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/1799661

No water allowed that essentially excludes all beverage. If i could have anything else, i'd go with at least two kilos of fruit and berries per day, preferably melon, cucumber, oranges, cherries, raspberry (any berry actually...), plume, pear, apricot. And the occasional fish.

Biological -- there are many species of flies, and many of them specialise in the food of their larvae (maggots). A relatively small number of species feed on feces, which are actually quite nutritional for a whole range of organisms. As they may require fresh poop for breeding, they naturally have a very good sense to smell that -- it must really smell yummy to them! :-)
Flies are among the first organisms in a chain of decomposers of organic waste materials, next to some species of beetles. Their larvae chiefly feed on the soft and moist material. Next will be fungi, other flies and beetles, mites (probably feeding on the fungi), springtails, isopods, nematodes, etc., all turning your compost into fertilised soil.

Source: biologist, been closely watching my compost toilet (not a sophisticated type where one would go for minimal fly attraction but made for fast fertiliser production).

Metaphorical -- well, in a world where greed is acceptable and exploitation is a norm, bad things attract bad actors (who may also be specialised to metaphorically feed on certain bad stuff) -- who will profit from such bad things.

This thread inspired me for a short story. ;-) https://sh.itjust.works/post/988447

The baker boy had come to wake up Octavius Picus from his afternoon nap. The delegation from the market at Nuceria had already arrived. They were early. Three people, the boy said, an elderly man with bad eyesight and a young woman guiding him, and another man who was carrying some scrolls. They could be heared chatting with Octavius' wife Marcella in the atrium. No hurry. He sat up on the bedside and rubbed his eyes.

The landlords around Nuceria had recently founded a cooperative and had now come to bargain a new deal for their grain. He wouldn't really know what to make of it, especially since his plan of opening a taverna would certainly require him to buy more wheat and he also wanted to have their beer. Would all that make it more expensive or less? --
Alright, let's serve them something, he told the boy. Make us five of the speciality quick plates, with sausage, eggs and sweet wine, but not the most expensive one. And do not forget the basilicum and cheese sauce on the panem picum!

How sad. It's 2023 and we got used to watching snuff videos. Anyone remember "Strange Days"?
