STDs don't cause cancer. Nothing does. Different factors our bodies are exposed to only increase the risk of it developing. Remove cancer and those factors can't pose a risk.
First of all not all stds are viral. Secondly HPV is definitely an STD and does cause cancer. Thirdly any genetic damage that's doesn't out right kill the cell, will be repaired but not all repairs are 100 successful and some can lead to defects, 1 of those possible defects is cancer. It's impossible to go through life without sustaining som sort of genetic damage. Removing every lysogenic strand will cause damage.
It's more to so with how cells deal with genetic damage and how viruses in the lysogenic phases can essentially give you cancer. Just deleting the virus is cool but a small % of the time the dna doesn't get fixed properly and some gets a cancer cell.
Bought the book for the amazing space opera front, stayed for the isekai hacks fantasy world substory. All in all one if my most favorite book series of all time
But, it if people knew how it worked, it would be super lonely to use. Like, the people you know and love are still in that first life before loading....the ones in your save are not the same, when you think about it....
if youve played enough tower defense games, or if youre old enough to have played left4dead, you would consider this a 'resource exhaustion' scenario. you cant punch every nazi in the face - you would literally run out of hand. a broader, more systemic solution is required. straight up deletion from the filesystem, similar to a thanos-snap. there are millions of them, you see. you cant manually punch millions.
(this is a joke, deleting nazis would be great, but prolly only a one shot thing. they'll be back. You gotta keep removing them like a cancer or they'll grow back)
germany had the right approach - make being a nazi illegal. make the salute illegal. make displaying hate symbols illegal. then throw the fucks that break that law in jail and make it very public. showing that society doesnt tolerate that sort of shit will drive it back underground, and ideally gone completely
The AfD is winning elections, and Germany is busy persecuting anti-Palestinian-genocide protestors, so... maybe their approach isn't as robust as we would have hoped.
I dunno this feels like something a genie could mess up and turn into a bad thing, maybe increase everyone's empathy and average intelligence which basically should do the same thing
I wouldn't call hoarding money a mental illness. Bill Gates, for example, has always seemed pretty sane and calculated. Greed stems from our self-preservation instinct. Most if not all life forms have it. But out of all life forms (known so far), we do have the ability to overcome it. I'm not defending Bill Gates here, though. Screw that guy. It's just an example. Also, by "curing" greed, a lot of effort would go into curing mental illness, all cancers, etc, you can be sure of it.
He's a union buster, and fights tooth and nail against raising min wage. There are no ethical billionaires. He has that much money because he does not pay his employees the correct amount for their production.
If someone has say...... 30 cats in their 2 bedroom apartment, that would be a mental illness, if they hoarded newspapers and their entire house was full of them wall to wall enough to crush them, you would call that a mental illness. Hoarding money is a mental illness. Did you watch the Hobbit? If Gates took all his cash and bought goals it would be 2x-8x the amount of gold smaug has in that mountain. Literally more goal than a dragons mountain hoard.
the command would need to target "Floating" plastics and/or disable plastic/steel/fiber composite. Realistically you would hit 70% of all of it. boats are also made of fiberglass which touches the water first. its much better to Disable plastics by type than "Select all"
It's a good first pass but yeah let's get rid of em all. We don't really need Zika, Ebola, etc not to mention all the bacterial stuff that can go as well.
Look, man. He was, overall, a good guy. He helped his friends, punished his enemies, and saved the world, and did his best to keep people alive, even those he hated. Its not his fault that immortality and an evil god constantly whispering in your ear make a terrible combination.
Too much tech debt to sift through. Do you know how many absolutely bonkers events are waiting on that condition? It'd be easier to just pull the plug and start from scratch.
Because I'm to lazy to change, on my company controlled Windows laptop, the default commit message editor. It's just smashing some extra buttons, instead of a ctrl combination, and I'm done.
Because most of the times I use smartgit, but sometimes quickly do something via the command line and then forget that -m is also a possibility. But all in all, I'm not slowed down by using vi in this particular case, so why not than just use it...
I can’t. The good reason appears based on how much editing you have to do. If you ever have an ETL or data entry job where you’re editing, say, 1 MB of text per week, vim and macros becomes your friend pretty quick.
Repeat until end of file: go to first non whitespace char, find first ‘<‘ char, move right one char, delete until ‘[‘ (but not that char) and replace with ‘foo’. Find next ‘]’ char, find next ‘“‘ char, move one char right and replace all until end of line with ‘/>’
