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.
Meanwhile, X.AI has asked the EPA for permission to release up to 100 million hyperfecund pesticide-resistant male mosquitoes in California and New York over two years to own the libs.
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?

Oh, forgot to link the dry density for you: here you go. 341kcal/100g. Aka 3,41kcal/g.
Which, like I said, should be obvious, since they're almost entirely carbs (~4kcal/g) and protein (~4kcal/g), and they're, as noted, dry (12-16% moisture). It would be quite the trick indeed to get something that is dry and and is almost entirely comprised of things that are 4kcal/g to be 1,38kcal/g!
Just in case you need help:
Your calculation: 195g (dry weight) × 1.38 kcal/g = 269 calories per pound of cooked beans.
Correction: Because you used 1.38 kcal/g (the cooked density) as if it were the dry density, you essentially diluted the calories twice.
The Actual Math: 195g of dry beans * 3.4 kcal/g (actual dry density) = 663 kcal.
When those 195g of dry beans absorb water to weigh 454g (1 pound), they still contain those same 663 calories (since water has zero calories).
Canned beans are ALREADY COOKED. *facepalm*. You can eat them straight out of the can.
which is waaaay more than I would want to eat at a sitting.
I can't think of a single ingredient - any ingredient - that I would want to eat exclusively as my diet, so this is a really stupid argument.
I have two less digits in my user ID than you, tenderfoot.
Hmmm
In general, "damping pleasure" is not most people's experience with GLP-1 agonists. What it does is more like separate pleasurable experiences from having an urgent need to continue doing them.
When it is not necessary to make a decision, it is necessary not to make a decision.
