Background: A person with more than one set of DNA within their body is called a genetic Chimera. Chimerism is (supposedly) rare, but there have been a handful of cases where someone will even fail a DNA test, because the DNA sample taken from their body differs from the rest of their DNA. For example, a Chimera might take a DNA test, and the results might show that the DNA was from one of his siblings – even if he is an only child.

One potential cause of Chimerism occurs while in the womb. Like when the mother is pregnant with twins, but later one of the twins has seemingly vanished. When this happens, usually it means one of the twins died in the womb, and its remains were absorbed into the surviving baby.
When this occurs, it's possible that the dead twin's DNA might survive within the survivor's body.

So, hypothetically… if the surviving twin managed to retrieve his dead twin's DNA from his own body, could he use that DNA sample to make a clone of his unborn sibling?
Let's assume that in this scenario, cloning is not controversial and is completely legal, acceptable, and safe.

I would wager that the first human clone was born years ago by now. Could even be 10 years old by now. The technology has existed that long, it would be weird for someone not to do it.

The prime movement of humanity is superheated plasma of cosmic background radiation, puppet stringing along blood pressure and the 4th-dimensional potential of water consumption.

Horsepower alone can be derived as a dimension of life through pressure dynamics alone.

But my real secret is most of my family has been saved by surgery and medical science. I never touch a hospital bed. I have other secrets.

I am just happy to escape as a Zen monk on fire.

I can't tell if modern technology has just awful quality control or if I'm unlucky or pedantic. Every time I buy something there is like a 80% chance that's something is wrong with it but not in an immediately obvious way.

For example I bought a laptop and the trackpad would be laggy but when I uninstalled the trackpad drivers it would be smooth but lacking multitouch features making me think it's not a hardware issue. Yet re-installing windows didn't fix it. I asked on the internet forums for advice and got ignored despite describing my problem in detail that I thought would give a knowledgeable person hints to what could be the issue. I sent the laptop for repair and got it back unchanged. I was so exhausted by this all that I kept it since I got a deal good enough on it to ignore this issue.

I got a new monitor that got good review scores and it flickers in certain situations.

I got a new GPU and it has crashes and graphic glitches but only in certain games and situations despite normal temps and me trying out all the possible drivers.

Also often when I buy something new it ends up having scratches or dents that are just enough to annoy me but not bad enough to go through the trouble of returning the item leaving me in a state of regret once the warranty runs out and I keep noticing the fault every time.

Also it's depressing how useless customer support is and how useless people on tech issue help forums are with anything but the most simple problems. I would think they would be intrigued by strange tech problems but nope I just get ignored.

It's all so exhausting man. Consoooming should be fun but every time I buy something instead of felling excitement I just feel anxiety when opening the product to a point where I stopped looking carefully for flaws.

smartphones (the hardware at least) are perfectly fine. mine is 8 years old, the battery is original, it's pretty fine. i don't even use a case. the cover for the camera lens came off a few years ago but it still takes functions

the problem is solely with the software. apps suddenly stop working because your android version is out of date. it should be illegal for your banking app to just stop working


unrelated, but this is something that made me realize 'website apps' are actually useful, at least for this reason. the browser becoems the OS, that is all you need to keep updated, in order to access all your important apps.

Most humans are evil, which causes a conundrum for non-evil humans. I feel bad for a random human who is the victim of bullying, but considering 90% of humans are bullies, there is a 90% chance the victim would bully other humans if given the chance. Stupidity is a cause of evil behavior, which complicates the conundrum. If you can convince a normal-minded human that its ok to inflict suffering on people who don't drink milk, the normal-minded human would do so.
A lot of people may agree with the analogy, until they hear what I believe are real life examples of this analogy. Never have I heard a good reason why having sex with children or animals is immoral, or why someone who does so should suffer. Most normal-minded humans would inflict suffering on someone who has sex with children or animals, because they are evil, and they are evil because they are stupid.

Where do I go now that the internet went to shit?

You know how there have been cities that relied on a single industry for employment and then when that industry pulled out of the city the city went to shit? That's how I feel. I once had a lot of fun spending every day at the computer but now the internet communities I once loved are gone or a shadow of their former self and I have no else to go because I have no real-life social skills.

Interestingly enough i visited such a city this summer. It was an old city build by the east-germans to produce iron and it was filled with commieblocks and despair. Terrible atmosphere, stressed out needy people, nervous drug dealers standing around at street corners. meanwhile where i live it's getting pretty end-of-timey as well, there are big shopping centers not far from where i live and about exactly half the stores closed down but those were all soulless chain-stores. the little independent stores managed by actual people (not by absentee investor owners who are only in it to milk passive income) where i live for some reason seem to do well though. they were not destroyed by the ripples of the covid theater.

the one nice thing that stuck during the last years of internet decline is skating. is a sport and an artform. it is both exercise and entertainment. i can spend doing it all day. sitting in front of the computer now that it is too cold to skate is awful.

I think the point of Ichi's story is that the midget who hires him manufactured most of the memories. the manga is kinda complex to really understand, but its heavily implied Ichi's life was rather meh and normal, and the midget hyped up all minor bad stuff that happened unto huge abuse from bullies.
Ichi is genuinely a sadist but he has a child's mind so he doesnt understand sexuality.

Always wondered how much of the pilot manga was canon. I assume he was in jail prior to the actual series due to how badly he is treated by his coworkers.

I know Australia has a lot of demand for temp labourers out in the middle of nowhere. There's plenty of work for young men willing to fly out to the middle of the most horrid deserts, spent 2 weeks working 12 hour days with 40 C heat and then fly back to the nearest big city for a week of rest. You would probably need to be reasonably fit to be able to handle those conditions, installing the anti-Emu fence around the Wonggarronggarrong Cobalt Mine is not for everybody.

Ignore me if you're already using it, but just in case, try using the Privacy Redirect extension. However by default it will (try to) convert links to a random Invidious instance. I've found that this fails maybe even more often than not. You can go to the extension's preferences and set the instance to use manually. Some videos will just fail on yewtu.be for whatever reason. When desperate, I've found just playing the instance roulette enough times will usually work.

I only asked to see if you had any preference. I like rambalac because he seems to take a slower pace than other channels, some of the others would sometimes rush round like they were trying to catch a train or something.

>>309547
It's strange because I keep seeing complaints about this but I don't know whether it's because of my location or because of my browser (FF), but I've only had YT block my adblocker a few times so far, and those block could be bypassed by simply refreshing the page.
