I wonder if the common preparation for a rice cooker would also be helpful (rinsing the rice until the starch is almost gone) or heat would be necessary.

And you open the box and it is an intel GPU.

Are you saying that GPUs are a girl’s best friend?

Forbidden pizzas.

Let’s put it this way: If in our lifetime we can simulate the intelligence of a vinegar fly as general intelligence, that would be a monumental landmark in AGI. And we’re far, far, far away from it.

As far as the iron age was from the metal alloys used in the Space Shuttle.

Talking about AGI simulating higher intelligence at the level of a dog or a cat, dear I say a pigeon or a crow is as far fetched as expecting ancient Egyptians to harness the power of the atom.

That’s why the “hustling culture” is so important and prevalent in our society right now.
Everyone “knows” someone that made bank with either youtube, selling some pyramid-scheme product, bitcoins, some collectibles, craft beer, lottery… you name it.

Social media (and before that was TV) is selling us the idea that there’s a shortcut to becoming rich, you just need to find it, hustle, and you will become one of the rich persons.

That’s also why there’s so much cult of wealth and billionaires.

That said, a large portion of Millennials and after them have a rather negative view of billionaires and are rather skeptical of becoming rich, or even becoming home owners.

Not sure why you’ve got downvoted, but that’s the reason why all Baltic states had such a reaction when the invasion started.

That said, I would say that most of those states are highly socialistic despite having pretty much allergy to anything red and while preferring a capitalist system that doesn’t mean they want or support billionaires.

Wake up, stand up, talk about your work vaguely enough there are no questions.

Lile with Pavel Kushnir, somehow Russia is jailing and killing their brightest.

It’s odd how often I <java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException> myself as well.

Same! I miss the fact most albums told a story and all songs had some continuity.

Yep, some of their songs are quite narrative, often talk about their experience, and maybe Pink Floyd just lives rent free in some part of my head so I just randomly associated it.

Ah, a lesser known Pink Floyd song.

If plane says “pull up”, gently pull stick up.

Laser-carrying mosquitoes or mosquito-killing lasers?

Maybe you’re onto something ;)

(P<0.05; 0.00) seems incidental with the study size and honestly I can’t see how could they smell the blood type.

(I’m not saying they can’t, I’m saying I would like to know how.)

I’m saying it may be incidental because the paper doesn’t define if the population from where mosquitoes fed had a higher or lower O-type density, nor their distribution.

Mosquitoes find their prey using three senses:
First by CO2, as mammals will be releasing it in big quantities (though they also bite reptiles). Second, by body smell, which as others here have mentioned, diet and genetics may dictate how it is affected. Third by shape (that’s when they are already there) and are trying to figure out where to stick it.

The first one is hard to fix, so for the second I’ll recommend icaridin or, if not available DEET, and in gel form not spray. DEET can be a skin irritant, hence why is less preferred.

Spray though is sometimes used when applying it to clothing, as it also may have your smell attached to it.

For the third one, I haven’t seen conclusive data but a lot of observational studies: from wearing light-colored ample clothing that doesn’t define the limbs to (I guess) wearing stripes like a zebra.

And a lifetime in humid climates like the Bayou.
