There are absolutely degrees of consciousness.


Pretty normal stuff
For humans it is normal. The “simple” function as you call it, is actually the foundation for consciousness.


Brain hunger is a very good description IMO for what is probably a conditioned unhealthy dependency.


I think this is the general formula:
The Serotonin decides (expected reward). The expectation of biggest reward in the shortest span of time with the least amount of effort and sacrifice of other things.
If time is prolonged, the reward needs to be bigger.
Being hungry moves you towards the food, not being hungry will move you towards the TV show.
If he is not that hungry he might choose the TV, but if he gets hungry while watching he might change his mind and go for the food, despite being in the middle of the show.
If money is short the dish will decline in priority, especially for people with functioning frontal lobes.
But there can be many many factors that are weighed not consciously but emotionally. Research shows we are way more guided by emotions than we think, we do what our emotions tell us, and then we rationalize it afterwards to convince our consciousness that it was in control all the time, despite it wasn’t.
A significant part of our emotional state is actually controlled by bacteria in our stomach! So it is not entirely the brain alone as another comment claims. But it is signals that are sent to the brain, so in that way the brain remains the ultimate decision maker.


Ignorance is being uninformed.
Stupidity is to either ignore or not understand or to intentionally (willfully) stay uninformed.


IDK I think resident evil sounds like a more interesting title anyway.
Biohazard is just a generic term, and sounds pretty lame for a game title IMO.


3 The overall replication process should sustain itself for an indefinite amount of iterations
Indefinite can mean both not determined or infinite.
It can not make infinite of course, because at some point the Universe according to current standard model will cool out.
But apart from that no problem, as long as the physical conditions exist to support it.


In the 80’s we had games to learn touch typing that were very helpful and also quite fun, compared to old school methods.
Here’s a site that claims to have that sort of games:

Warning I have no idea if these are good, it’s just a random site a search came up with.


That would seem extremely unlikely, as a brain that’s been inactive for just a few minutes, if the person is revived, there is heavy brain damage.


Most countries use brain death as the deciding factor.
Meaning you body can be held alive artificially, but if the brain isn’t working, you are dead, and there is no chance of coming back.
Of course if the heart hasn’t been beating for 5 minutes and you are not kept artificially alive, you are probably considered dead too.


Yes without browsers life stands absolutely still, which is the obvious explanation that humans do not exist, your belief in your own existence is a lie. Because there was a time when there were no browsers no internet and even no computers, but it is impossible to investigate how such times were, because life was at an absolute still.
I guess there is a thing like stupid questions.


Absolutely, our oven is very old, and we generally have to run it 10°C above what the recipes say.


Because less than 5 is not significant and doesn’t matter.
I finally got the context, and it’s no wonder that shit was vandalized. I don’t see a reality where it wouldn’t be.
Even here in Denmark that shit would probably not last long, and we are famous for NOT doing that.
If you want, see my post you responded to, I’ve included the details there.
Apparently the “service” is only available for over 16 year olds.
This is so badly executed it’s no wonder people got pissed.
Thanks. 👍
You must be at least 16 years old to join Equip Sport
Big fail, no wonder that shit was sabotaged.
Seems to me the city did something for show that doesn’t work, and might as well no be there.
As I sted before, the poles and trashcan are not vandalized, it seem like these “lockers” were clearly targeted, probably because it’s a shit system for the people it was supposed to benefit.
Hopefully after this, the city will stop wasting money on a system that doesn’t work anyway.
Thanks, I was not aware that clicking the thumbnail revealed a lot more detail. 😳
But it seems to me this “system” is pissing some people off, because the vandalism is only on the “lockers without locks” whatever that is called. And not on the poles or the trashcan?
public equipment lockers
I don’t get it, why would such lockers be labeled “Jumpstart bon depart” and Equip at the bottom?
Looks more like some private thing, taking up public space.
IDK, I’m just trying to evaluate if this is just mindless vandalism, or if there could be a reason behind it.
The pole itself is not vandalized and seemingly neither is the trashcan behind.
Weird that Apple has renamed OS X to Mac OS, my first thought opening the link to statcounter was NO WAY 8+% use an OS that was discontinued 25 years ago.
WTF Apple?
Opening Wikipedia it says Mac OS was introduced in 2001!?!?!!??
WTF? That’s the year it was discontinued!!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS
For fucks sake! No it’s not “classic Mac OS”, it’s Mac OS. It was never named classic. Just because Apple fucks up doesn’t change the name of the original Mac OS.
And no OS X did not maintain the same version number for decades. It was introduced as OS X 1.0, 10 is not a version number, it’s part of the name like with OS/2 where the number is also not a version number but is part of the name, and describes something completely different, namely that it was meant as the default OS for IBM PS/2 computers.
Sorry for the rant, but the stupidity of Apple removing the X from the name and not distinguishing properly between the original Mac OS and the new macOS is just such a piss poor decision IMO.
For instance Mac OS does not have multitasking! But macOS does.
