I have a kiwi intolerance (not as much as an allergy) but it makes my ears itch inside and sometimes tightens my throat. Pineapple is only the tongue thing... that's a whole different ballgame.

They can. They do. Iron is just the threshold where fusion starts to "consume" energy instead of "releasing" it, which is supplied by the gravitational pressure of the, at this point, collapsing star.

“Integrated graphics” or an “integrated GPU” these days almost always refers to a small(er)/weak(er) GPU that is included in the CPU itself.

From the perspective of the operating system, a ‘discrete’ GPU and the ‘integrated’ GPU are both rendering devices that it can access. In a laptop with discrete graphics, both of these are usually able to output to the built in display, so a game or other application can choose to render to either one. That’s usually where you see things getting confused, as the BIOS or OS might be configured with the integrated graphics chip as the first/default rendering device.

It’s also possible to do pure software rendering using only the CPU. Nobody actually wants to do this these days for real time applications, since it is painfully slow. But it is an option.

And that is why you can't use fresh pineapple in jello.

That would be my guess. It would be worth getting an allergy test to find out

Pretty sure the site was used to test skunkworks projects during the cold war

I'm not convinced it ever would. Not a scientist... but...

But striking a match a day will never boil a cup of water. Doesn't matter how many days you do it.

The water returns to ambient temperature, and the previous match had no effect.

Double precision is the black sheep of the family. It was just thrown in for convenience. GPUs don't have double precision because what do you care if a vertex is a millionth of a pixel off or a billionth? Graphics has no use for double precision so why make the chip more expensive to produce?

Compute programming might need it but not for the general public.

Water systems even if owned privately for profit are a regulated monopoly and behaves as a public utility (through regulation).

Certain systems are natural monopolies since it would be infeasible for multiple providers to set up and run the system. It would simply be too expensive for the consumer.

Capitalism isn't solely about consumer choice. It is related to the use of private capital for the provision of goods and services. There are many instances of cities collecting taxes and setting up municipal owned water systems (which is the complement of capitalism - the use of public capital raised through taxes).

Neither public nor private funding guarantees access, quality of services or low cost of services. So it would be a mistake to conflate one with the other. There is no free lunch - one way or the other someone has to pay for the service. Declaring something a "human right" is rhetorical because it says nothing for how such a "right" is to be provisioned or provided. (I can just as easily claim that everyone being a millionaire is a human right, but that doesn't make it happen without bad consequences)

Language is deeply connected to culture and a universal language would mean that many cultures would be at a great disadvantage due to giving that up for the universal language. The only way it could be done without favouring a culture is to create a new language. If they kept a common language as well as other counties, there will be social punishments due to the universal language being more “efficient”.

Most places it's a public utility, with some cities having theirs run by a private company. There's a few countries like England where we decided it was a good idea to privatise the whole lot and now we've got sewage pumping into the ocean and the reason why it's run that way is so that private companies can profit from it and not bother investing in any improvements

Yes. Although if it wasn't clear I can go back and bold a few words for you.

The Fungal Infection Mammalian Selection hypothesis says that the killing mechanism was unchecked fungal infections as the temperature dropped. Modern cold blooded creatures suffer from bone infections if their body temperature stays too low.

They don't know exactly, but since every package will contain roughly the same amount of food (either by weight or by quantity) and since they know the ingredients that go into the product (which do have caloric values) they can get close enough. The FDA doesn't require exact labeling for this reason.

If I ate an entire pineapple every single day how long would take before actual damage starts being done?

Within the law is the real answer.

Thanks for your explanation, so basically the sensor is made out of subpixel and when light hits it, those subpixels generate an electrical turrent. The lens then filters the light based on its wavelength and bends it so that it hits the exact pixel. Then the sub pixels turn into pixels, which are scanned in rows or columns and then saved?

Did you mean to quote me with no text of your own?

The “point” of Christian colleges is to collect exorbitantly high private school tuition from wealthy Christian parents who get suckered into thinking they will set their kids up to be better Christians. A secondary purpose is to control the narrative being fed to young developing minds to create more advocates for their interpretation of what it means to be a Christian.
