It makes sense that a long-lived species would take longer to develop
So then what is the point of Yoda being immensely old? Is he basically 63 in Yoda years?

I really wish that Git had stayed as a stand-alone free service for Linux developers.
It did. The authoritative upstream repository for the Linux kernel is hosted at kernel.org, not GitHub.
How can this be seen as a victory?
The "victory" is literally "pwning the libs." The thought process is, "Anything that denies them something that they want makes them weaker and us stronger." The base rallies and cheers, and meanwhile Trump and his cronies go back to extracting ungodly amounts of wealth from the entire world's resources.
If they leave them there, the next administration might be able to switch them back on and start gathering woke climate science data again.
Kinda unlikely. If you leave anything sitting under the ocean, it's going to experience significant wear and tear. If there's no budget even to monitor the status of the monitors, let alone conduct routine maintenance, they're likely to be as good as junk by the time they're switched back on.
Literally hundreds of scientific papers have been published using data from the OOI
Not to mention that the data is also used in industry, particularly in farming and fishing, where it is used to predict climate-related events. And this aren't just long-term events we're talking about. "Where are the fish likely to be this year" is a question this data can help answer.
What? I have one. It's hooked up (through an adapter) to the VoIP port on my fiber router. It rings and everything.

Grogu is already 50 years old so that might explain his powers.
Yeah? So how come he never speaks and has the language comprehension of a 3-year-old?
I just got one, but I am in Europe and our economy is not systematically being destroyed.
How did you "just get" something that has yet to be released?
I have two less digits in my user ID than you, tenderfoot.

This is a threat of referral to criminal prosecution. Criminal prosecution is a government, not personal or corporate activity. What I say here is that such threats are empty.
People do get that wrong a lot though. Apparently even Microsoft, the FBI and US Attorneys these days.
There's a lot of speculation about life as we don't know it. And that's what it is: speculation. While there are microbes that don't rely on oxygen, and one animal, they are utterly dependent on environments that do require oxygen. So no abiotic life origins here.
Without knowing for sure what to look for in a chlorine based life form even with it live in front of us, performing the forensic search with the body cold billions of years is all but impossible. We will get there some day but people are looking for signs unambiguous, and that means life as we know it.
In the US this is protected speech. There is a flaw in published software such that x and y... This is a statement of observed fact no matter how obscure.
Poor form, yes. Illegal, no. To threaten or intimidate rather than fix the fault is reliance on the ancient Microsoft trope security through obscurity. Tolerance of that oppressive behavior makes us less secure, not more.
Closing their account on your service is fair game though. No obligation to host anyone for any reason.
Dealing with aggrieved customers is just a part of doing business with the public. No matter how well you behave some people just have issues, and some will have legitimate complaints. Microsoft is a multitrillion dollar multinational corporation. That comes with the turf.
>And they will have arisen long long before the explosion.
I am no expert but... At a propellant feed rate of 2,300kg per second and a turbine speed of 19000 rpm that's a lot of mass in motion to come to a sudden stop. At 350 bar of turbopump pressure I can see there being a lot of bang at the first sign of trouble. The engineering limits on these devices may not be fully characterized until mass production has rolled for a while.
