  • How many people would a generation ship need to have for inbreeding to not be an issue?

    Jump

  • It seems very plausible that if you can make a generation ship, you could make something like CRISPR to artificially increase genetic diversity/eliminate potential birth defects. Or perhaps just store genetic material for more people than the actual colonists on the ship. You'd probably want to hedge your bets in case there's a low survival rate. There's a lot that could go wrong. Ecosystem failure, negative effects of radiation, or just good old fashioned murder.

  • What age gap is too big of an age gap if someone's in their early 30's?

    Jump

  • I think life situation is probably more important than strictly age. If you're an independent 30 year old working a full time job you probably don't want to date a college student that lives with their parents.

  • Does "social news site" hold meaning to you as the (Wikipedia) category for Lemmy/Reddit?

    Jump

  • "Link aggregator" is more appropriate than news aggregator.

  • Teens are banned from the park.

    Jump

  • The point being that it wouldn't be "this guy is banned from the park," it would be "please alert the police if you see him."

  • I mean you can also tell this is fake because that would be assault.

  • Physical Collectors "Should Plug In" Switch, 3DS And Vita Game Cards "Every 5-10 Years" To Avoid Data Loss

    Jump

  • I honestly wonder about this. What will collectors value be for sealed items in 50 years when the game inside is almost certainly useless?

  • Button fly's

    Jump

  • They're pretty common on raw denim, especially if it's unsanforized (i.e. not preshrunk). It's basically because when jeans stretch and shrink zippers can look weird (have you ever gotten that weird pants boner around the zipper?). They also have a fade pattern that's pretty classic. I dont think they're any less convenient than a zipper once they're broken in and you're used to them.

  • Is it expected to drink alcohol on first date?

    Jump

  • Alcohol is a social lubricant, if you're a drinker then yes it's pretty natural to assume a few drinks on a first date would loosen both parties up. Not everyone is a drinker and that's fine but I don't think it's weird at all to want drinks on an occasion where people are probably a bit nervous and awkward. Re: driving, take an uber? The bus?

  • When the requirements are "final"

    Jump

  • You might be surprised by how vigorously people will argue against this point.

  • When the requirements are "final"

    Jump

  • It's called SAFe and it's an art form.

  • When the requirements are "final"

    Jump

  • Means we change requirements mid-sprint, right?

  • When the requirements are "final"

    Jump

  • Or the product manager just now understands them.

  • "Can i ask you for a favor?" Is it rude to say no?

    Jump

  • It also sounds like they targeted you specifically while you were waiting in line. So not only did they only approach you about it when they could've asked anybody, they approached you in a place where it's hard for you to just walk away. That's sus to me, I think your instincts were right to not give them an in.

  • "Can i ask you for a favor?" Is it rude to say no?

    Jump

  • Bit rude, yeah, but sometimes it's better to be rude than let someone cross your boundaries. How much more awkward is it if you say "yes" or "maybe" and then they ask if they can borrow your phone or something and you have to evaluate whether you trust this random person while they're looking right at you? A lot of people are definitely asking this way because it gets you to let your guard down and they know you would've said no if they'd just straight asked. Personally I tend to respond with "you can ask" or something like that. Making it pretty clear that I'm skeptical of what they're going to ask. But my default assumption of other people in a city is that they're potentially either trying to scam me or rob me.

  • Aorus RTX 5090 package from Amazon was allegedly filled with macaroni, rice, and an old obsolete GPU — it's an impasta!

    Jump

  • Amazon definitely doesn't check returns very closely so not at all shocking something like this could happen.

  • I think I'm on the side of "if you do this in your code, you deserve what you get."

  • First one I used? Either a ][e or ][gs at school. First one our household owned? A 286 (not any particular brand). First one that was "mine"? A mac LC2. First one i paid for with my own money? Uhhh I just remember it was a Dell, probably a pentium 4?

  • I agree with the general sentiment, but it's a bit weird that there's anything to leak.
