I guess it is more complex then:
- eat once a month
- have special hormones/peptides

After all, the snake has energy and is pretty vital again after a few days of digesting. No one would assume the rest of the meal is just shitted out again, it is stored somehow, and can be accessed later. So the interesting question is: how does the snake store energy for 2 or 3 weeks until it hunts again.

On top of that, Pythons are pretty clever. For example they recognize their owner, or house hold people around them. If they are fed, they do not hunt your pets, they know what feeding time is, and what/where to eat.

Personally, I've noticed myself suddenly getting naggingly hungry upon just seeing food...I was fine seconds earlier.
That can happen easy if you have a deficit of some sort and your body "thinks" what you are seeing is helpful.

I had a pretty badly injury about 2 years ago. I am not really such a chicken fan (well, kind of I am, but I am not running around eating chicken from char coal every day), but at that time: I ate nearly every day the whole thing. Including the bones that I could chew, and definitely all the "jelly" around the joints.

My body simply demanded that I eat that. Sometimes I ate 2 half chickens same day, one as lunch and one as dinner.

So for months I only ate meat and fruits, lol. Or very meat heavy Thai dishes (kind of salads) like Tab Wan or Mhu Manau.

Does not really matter what "kind of balanced diet" you eat.
If you spice up your meal with ketchup, drink eat stuff with artificial sweetener ...
Mix the "correct food" together in the wrong way ... and so on.

It does not help to eat healthy stuff over the course of the day: every meal has to be healthy.

You eat fat and sugar same time, with to much sugar, or to much carbs that quickly converted into sugar: your body converts the sugar to fat, more or less instantly. And it stores the fat in your blood, in the fat cells: more or less instantly.

So, your healthy steak with a fatty edge, perfect nutrition, and the oven potatoes - which would not harm: become a fat bomb with a little bit of ketchup. Ooops, the sugar in the ketchup makes the potatoes become sugar faster, spike the fat and sugar levels in your blood, and the insulin makes your body store the nice and healthy fat edge of the steak in to your fat cells.

I suggest:

First offence: Have to watch CSPAN for 5 hours a day, for a week, without sleeping through it - evidence to be provided in court

Second offence: Have to sing Miley Cyrus songs and Baby Shark on TikTok - sober

Third offence: License to practice and all memberships of country clubs and golf courses revoked

I play two over 20 year old games.

There is no damn reason that a game stops working, unless you upgrade the OS and for some reason it does not run on the upgrade. That is pretty rare on windows.

So yes, a game company has the fucking obligation to make their game run for ever, just like Word, Excel and Thunderbird, Chrome or Firefox or "insert what ever product" you are using has.

There is no damn reason a game stops working ... it is fraud if it does.

Comment Historic moment? (Score 1) 48

How is it historic when it's the government doing what it should be doing: protecting the population from toxic substances?

Considering all the time and effort and money these people have thrown at lawsuits against the EPA, against regulating toxic chemicals, against regulating industry in general, the only thing historic about this is the how high their hypocrisy has climbed.

I am presuming from the display of the debris. If something from the outside hit the satellite the debris pattern would be more conical in shape. Whereas, debris from an explosion, such as in this case, would be more spherical. Debris would radiate out in all directions.

Which brings up another point. Assuming an explosion which radiates out in all directions, depending on the force of the explosion, some debris would go to a (slightly) higher orbit. Space may be big, but now there is another piece of shrapnel to contend with when launching satellites.

Comment Re:TypeScript? (Score 4, Informative) 64

That surprised me, too. TypeScript is a very poorly-congealed ("designed" seems a bit strong) language.

Of the two popular scripting languages - python and ruby - python probably makes more sense as you can compile into actual binaries if you want.

For speed and parallel processing, which I'd assume they'd want, they'd be better off with Tcl or Erlang, both of which are much much better suited to this sort of work.
