So do I understand correctly that a certain hox gene is activated in basically all cells which are in the "domain" of a certain vertebrae and they all activate some subset of homeobox genes which in combination with the original hox gene cause them to start turning into all the different parts associated with that vertebrae (so organs and other structures)?
Would we then need an entirely new hox gene to produce even a single gill? (I know you basically just laid out most of a response to this question.) Because I would assume although the exact point at which the development of our arms and legs begins is part of the whole hox gene "superstructure", but couldn't we 'basically just' highjack this same system and duplicate this gene to produce at least a single gill in the region where the current hox gene for our neck is expressed?
Long story short: what is the biggest reason why we can't just hack into a later part of the sequence and continue on from there with what you said?
Or would your proposed plan also just end up like this in the final product and you laid it out like this because it's already the most viable route into this mess? 😅
And that's the thing:
Assuming it did, you couldn't see it approach until it hit you because it's moving at the speed of light! It could also have happened, but just super far away such that it will never reach us due to expansion between its origin point and us being faster than c!
Also just because the universe is frickin old doesn't mean it is statistically bound to have happened. There are plenty of ways of making it even more astronomically unlikely but still possible...
Okay what the hell did I just read?
From my very very rough and cursory glance though: wouldn't this also likely be infringed by games such as Genshin Impact for their Auto "fuse" (aka enhancement) selection mechanic or does this patent have some more nuanced/specific thing which everyone else did not implement to skirt around it?
Which is exactly what I am trying but the payment redirects to the humble store at the end and they always cancel the transaction with no helpful error message.
And since their "projected time to answer" currently is 7 days it'll still be a short while until I get that sweet cracktorio hit again 😅
I just straight up can't buy it without getting a gog account (or going the steam route which is rather not for DRN reasons) because humble just flat out refuses to verify any and all purchase attempts...
Fine! I'll use a second order polynomial to fit this instead. But that's the last order I'm willing to go to!
No! Mit like that! You macro is all wrong! Now we won't be able to capture the dragon on the ridge in the right framing!
(What do you mean, Bob Ross never painted any drains‽)
Thanks for sharing this as well! I also just imaged a detached hand + short bit of lower arm pushing the ball (for which I did imagine it to be of a gray shiny metal slightly larger than the hand)!
And I also imaged a super plain square wooden table so when the questions about the person hit I was super confused wether or not this counted as aphantasia or not (because I am fairly certain that I don't have it...)
Except most of those people who don't know enough to recover most likely also use the default "all your data are belong to OneDrive" and thus won't lose absolutely everything and no one group of livid people will both be livid enough and big enough at the same time for a lot to change...
Hmm but couldn't we then also go even further and assume an idealized muscle car with an effective transmission to its wheels of 1:1 running at its optimal torque vs speed point and thus with a given speed of its wheels rotation for a given time?
Aka convert energy into miles (traveled) or something (with the choice of motor and wheel diameter and everything else standardized ofc.)?
Well I rather prefer 95% of my enemies be left as waste and only deal with 5% of them!
But unless the page ends up as just a single canvas/image you'll still get all the HTML tags which can be stripped before your browser renders them?
Sicher, dass Sie dann nicht lieber 7x8 7x6 wären?
(Und ja, bei solch allwissendem Alter muss man schon mal zum höflichen Sie greifen!)
The thing is Randall already kind of did something like this in his "What-if?" which talked about a diamond meteor hitting the earth...
And basically it boils down to: Either Galileo/Newton/whoever was the smart fuck that discovered it was right and the meteor would only create a crater roughly as deep as it was itself. (This if it could touch the core it would be at least the same size as the earth and the picture would look different)
Or it would be going fast enough to ignore most of all that classical physics stuff, phase through most solid material and blow apart every piece of the earth because it would have enough energy to completely overcome the gravitational force holding everything to everything else here on earth.
(Now granted, those were the two extremes and there might just be a perfect balance in between, but I'm sure as hell not going to look for it! At the very least because getting funding for the experiments is seriously difficult for some reason...)
Just because you waste 80% of the food you get doesn't mean you can't still be twice as fast as everyone else at getting new food!
Haben sie uns etwa die ganze Zeit getestet‽
Und haben wir gut oder schlecht abgeschnitten? 😳
Also although you will have a hard(-ish) time scratching the glass by using a good shirt if you have any kind of coating on your glasses (such as a blue filter or anti-reflex coating or whatever) you CAN easily scratch those (usually)!
