    The entire Weddell Sea is just north of Antarctica. That’s where the Weddell Sea is. The problem is that everything near Antarctica is just north of Antarctica, including things on the complete opposite side of the entire continent. It’s just a way of saying near Antarctica that sounds like you’re giving more information than you really are.



  • That’s all true, but also completely irrelevant to the point I was making. Gene expression isn’t in that 99.9% of the DNA that is the same. All of the individually identifiable genetic information in the genome is in the other 0.1%. This is a privacy community. A complete understanding of how genetics works is neat and all, but it’s not relevant to the conversation we’re having. I didn’t say that all humans 99.9% identical to each other. That’s obviously not true. I said that there’s no point in storing duplicate copies of identical genetic sequences, and that saying they store less than 0.1% of your genome only says they’re not doing that.

    For the record, 5-10% is way plenty to narrow things down to a very tiny number of people. Probably one in most cases, and it contains a lot of important medical information. That’s not some trivial unimportant thing.

    A lot of food doesn’t even have an expiration date. It’s more common on a lot of foods to have a sell by date, which is not the same thing as an expiration date, and some foods are even just labelled with a packaged date, which is hopefully always in the past. Otherwise you’ve got bigger problems than spoiled food. MREs are especially notorious for this.

    That being said though, I’m still usually the one throwing food out. At some point you just have to admit you’re not going to eat it, and no one wants your dubious opened packages or half eaten leftovers. It’s just gonna have to go eventually.


  • Well, part of the problem with modern emulators is that more and more consoles are just relying on regular off the shelf hardware components. That means more of what makes them unique is in software, which is a problem, because emulating software is a lot harder to defend legally, especially in the US and Japan.

    So, realistically, the sooner you see a Switch 2 emulator pop up, the faster it’s likely to be taken down by Nintendo’s lawyers.

    Also, they’re probably not going to screw up and leave in a hardware recovery mode that bypasses all their security again, which is a big part of why Yuzu could get started so fast.
