I’d assume that this is a direct consequence of the impact mutations can have during short spans of generations. The closer you are to a local optimum, the more mutations you need to get into different (albeit better) optima.

Essentially, the step size of the optimisation process is usually too small to make this jump, you need a lot of luck to make it work (since any transitional generations have to stay alive long enough to reproduce and outcompete/find a new niche) - which automatically gives the rest of the ecosystem time to “catch up”, changing the landscape of the fitness function and thus providing new pathways to better optima.

No, no, when the end times come fear the face with the fewest eyes

Management has to be held personally responsible. That’s why they make so much money, right?

What colour would Goku’s hair turn if he drank the potion?

Such a good movie!

Producing multiple pigments to absorb more colours is very expensive, and the chemical reactions only take a certain amount of energy, anything beyond is converted into heat (which is bad for water retention).

No, you’re wrong. The patch notes specifically state:

The attack and damage negation granted by the final level of Blessing enhancements has been slightly increased.

Nah, in hunting mode they suddenly get huge. I assume it’s to improve tracking in low light conditions.

That pawprint is amazing

We did that in Germany, and it’s now contaminating groundwater, as the very deep hole is flooding with water.

Didn’t you see yesterdays announcement?

That’s not fair. You didn’t mention at least 5 different women with bare feet!

Hooo boy, I get what you mean. Though I’d also love to be tossed around by Striga. And, on her good days, Carmilla.

I live in Europe, and somehow my toilet gets blocked every couple of months. Might have to just clean it properly with a spiral, but so far the plunger has always worked.

Just don’t be too aggressive. There will be backsplash.

I’m a bit surprised that this part was so negative for you. The story itself focused so much on the “overly serious badass” side that these elements provided nice comic relief, while also characterising the methods by which the legions of hell conquer other worlds. Audio logs from the resistance paint a very different picture.

If you care to, could you explain further what you disliked?

You might enjoy Eternal - they took all those aspects and put them into overdrive. Not everyone’s cup of tea, but I love the balance they struck.

That slut!
