Yeah, we don't yet have mature technology capable of replicating the dexterity of a human hand. But still, this dude is a badass.

NO. This may well be a legitimate "life hack", IF for some reason you vehemently prefer plates to bowls or other deeper welled containment devices. The REAL reason they fold up/out is so that they can be shipped more conveniently, without large air cavities wasting valuable shipping volume (as in the folded form).

You're assuming that all of the legs are equal lengths and that the floor is perfectly flat and level. Yes, in a perfect world, more legs = greater stability. But when accounting for the imperfections of the real world it's easier to balance on 3 points (at least when the object in question is static), because it takes exactly 3 points to define a plane. If we're talking about, say, a moving vehicle like a tricycle, then yes it is absolutely less stable than a 4 wheeled vehicle because there are other vectors to consider besides purely gravitational (at least in a Newtonian sense... ok n/m I'm overthinking this).

*intrigued* I like this idea! Not just as a strategy for meeting potential mates. I like the idea of adding an explicitly tagged context to text communications. Since most of human social communication is nonverbal I feel like this would help to prevent misunderstandings when restricted to a text only medium. (Emoji's are too vague and there would have to be too many of them to capture the nuance that can be expressed clearly with actual verbiage.)

If the PC is good at staying cool (assuming it's doing an equal or greater load of computing) then that means that it's better at pumping its heat into the surrounding air, which means the room will heat up more. Your "problem" makes no thermodynamic sense.

Just don't eat boxed mac and cheese all the time and you'll be fine. The culture of chemophobia is mostly based on ignorance and emotional reactions rather than real science.

guest seems a little too pessimistic, BUT guest is NOT wrong about neo-Marxism (which is exactly what so called "intersectionality" is, look up the Frankfurt school and critical theory) their goal is the destruction of western civilization.

They're doing great, there's more animals in the zone than the surrounding area because there's no humans in the zone to mess with them.

I wanna see one where the polygons extend into polyhedra and then into higher dimensions.

I wouldn't worry too much, there's plenty of thriving wildlife still living in the exclusion zone around Chernobyl.

Carbon dioxide is the primary chemical attractant but there are other chemicals in mammal breath and sweat that attract them to a lesser degree. I say this because, within a species, most individuals emit CO2 at roughly the same resting rate, yet some individuals attract them more strongly.
