“Evolutionary reason” does not necessarily mean that a feature is an advantage. Mutations are random and then positive or negative selective pressure act on them untill the mutation is either extinct or is adopted by the whole population. For features without selective pressure the same thing still happens it just takes longer and is basically random. So different populations of a species will always develop different features even when given the same environment.

So for most of the features you listed: yeah it just happened.

You didn’t read the article did you? Its not about the inclusion of a character, but about how a specific scene with that character is handled. The author claims it is completely jarring, doesn’t fit into the games setting and doesn’t even use the games existing lore for transgender people but instead uses modern terminology.

I found the article to very informative and not at all “gamergatey”.

Its points are:

• this is the scene
• it is bad
• here is exelent trans representation in a fantasy setting
• “its a BioWare self insert”
• this is how they could have handled it better
• the game is great, but now everybody will just talk about woke, so again the game is good

Enterprise does not mean it is owned by a corporation. Also I think Mozilla is a non profit but I might be wrong there.

Enterprise is about who the target user is. If it is designed to run on a single user desktop or whether its supposed to integrate into central management and authentication structures. Enterprise software is most of the time sold as part of a service agreement with the developer offering updates and support for special customer use cases.

Thunderbird is simply a universal mail client that can be used by anyone. Privately and in a corporate setting

The holy trinity, the father, the son and the holy spirit are the same entity.

E-Mail is old. So old that when it was invented, “hacking” and “security” was not really something anybody thought about.

To send an email you connect to the recipients mail server and type in all the data of the mail. Including recipient, subject, mail body and importantly the address displayed in the “from” and “reply to” fields. They are all defined by the sender. The Email protocol has no way to verify if this information is correct and the sender is actually part of the aledged domain.

Today, when you send a mail, most of the time you will not connect to the recipient mail server directly, but to a “sending” mail server, which then sends the mail to the recipient. For example if you log in to gmail, you write the mail on a google Mailserver which sends it to the recipient. Or you connect to your companies exchange through outlook.

There is a modern extension to the mail protocol, which allows a domain owner to define the sending mail server which is allowed to send mails on behalf of this domain. But it is in the responsibility of the receiver to check. (Its called sender policy framework SPF)

So most likely intuit didn’t do anything and the scamer just send mail without a sending mail server. And your receiving mail server did not verify the SPF correctly. Or intuit did not define an SPF. Or they did but it allows sources that do actually not belong to intuit but might be controllable by the scammers. This can happen if they want to send mails from cloud hostet systems and include them in their SPF, which may include systems by other customers of the cloud hoster.

If you want to verify mail yourself, look in the mail headers (often called: view source) and look at the “received” headers. They deta the full path the mail has taken including which system initially wrote the mail. They are ordered bottom to top, so the (chronologically) first entry is the lowest. Check if the ip adress/hostnames for the first few hops belong to intuit and if they don’t, its most likely spam.

TLDR: what is necessary to send mails from somebody else’s domain? Nothing. You can just do that. Mail is insecure by design and should be abolished.

And the Main-Danube canal?

Yeah with his wife it is always the other way round. He is the ass in all interactions with her and gets treated the same way he treats others. He really isnt that sympathetic of a character when he behaves so hypocritically.

No. The key looks strange and I hab to reread it a few times. I’m also quite certain I have seen the same joke before in a different comic

The ghost is sad because it locked itself out/forgot the key inside. Second ghost shows up an tells them to just warp through because they are ghosts. But instead of being happy they are inside and never needed the key, they try to move the key outside so they can unlock the door to get inside.

It will be a long time and a lot of innovations in material science until you can implant a quantum computer into a person. So much that I am not sure it is even possible (or practical)

That is the “low tech”; works 100% of the time; will make your live easier in the future solution.

It takes longer than remounting but getting rid of a NTFS drive in a Linux only environment is a good move.

They might actually be related. The huns originated from east of the Volga river (so east of the Scythians) and recent research identified genetic links to ancient Mongols

That is like saying a 12 year old should be able to be healed from being quadriplegic because they are still growing. Some medical conditions are for live (at our current medical knowledge) and it doesn’t matter if they are “physical” or “mental”.

That’s the difference between a stew and a soup where everything had been puréed

Then OP has to die in international waters. And I think ships usually count as part of the country they are registered in. So if you die on a cruise ship it still counts like dieing in that ships owner country. And its not trivial to move a corpse out of a country, there are laws about that. So the country they plan to die in very mutch matters.

That is really cool. Are you using pure alcohol or do you use a different medium for preservation?

Yes it is technically the diminutive form of Hahn which is german for rooster but “Hähnchen” is mostly just used to refer to the meat of any chicken. Like beef is the meat of a cow, Hähnchen is the meat of a chicken.

What happened to the title?

What actually is the “problem”? I see articles talking about trolls and anti-woke but I dont find anything why people are mad.

They made a character younger… shouldn’t that be what trolls want? Dont they normally complain when female characters are to old?

And the brain didn’t even know it was naming itself.

The ancient Egyptians removed the brain before mummification because they considerd it to be basically useless. Later associations between motor control of muscles and the brain were discovered but it wasn’t until the development of modern neuroscience that the brain was considered to be the seat of awareness, self and intelligence.
