There are some issues with that, since someone else could access the phone number in the future. Using a number that you don’t have exclusive access to opens up a security problem when it comes to account recovery, etc.

This looks promising. I Like that it has group video as well. Thanks.

Thanks, I’m going to check this out. Seems pretty straightforward which is good for the family to use

The yacht crowd isn’t really concerned with national borders.

Why are our memories so bad? There are still people alive who lost friends to polio.

As someone else pointed out, x-lax gives you “smooth movements.” they had an advertising campaign in I think the 1980s. The slogan was “smooth move x-lax,” and it entered the vernacular slang for a decade or so. Generally, it was used in a sarcastic way when somebody does something that is specifically not smooth.

It’s used as the punchline here because it is intentionality so cringeworthy.

I choose to believe that this was done deliberately by disgruntled FBI agents.

It was probably just incompetence, but let me believe what I want.

Actual photo of my mind.

No one ever asks about the company’s right to repair /s

I hate these old pictures that show the prize but never the meal.

There are two very narrow bands of people who would pass this test.

That’s pretty interesting. I’ve done some genotyping before, and I’m guessing that they probably check a handful of distinctive genes, not the entire genome.

For example, if they checked 45 binary markers (e.g. positive or negative) that would get you into that ballpark (assuming that they are evenly distributed and not correlated). Of course, there are also markers that are not binary but can have many different variations other than positive and negative.

Awesome answer! Thanks.

What is that number based on and does it exclude mutations that would change the species or be biologically meaningless?

The question isn’t whether it’s large. The question is how large is it? Right now the human population doubles every 40 years and that rate seems to be increasing.

If humans somehow expanded in population and efficiently consumed all of the energy in the universe, then that means maybe somewhere on the order of 10^65 possible people (according to some very bad napkin math just for the sake of argument).

Are there that many unique combinations of human DNA, ignoring mutations which would change the species or have no impact on biology?

I’m also no scientitian. I believe any mutations would have to be within the existing genome or else it would no longer be a biologically modern human.

Let’s add the additional stipulation that we are not adding any meaningless genes. I know that there are a lot of them, but I’m just curious about what the math would look like and if we even have the knowledge about the genome to know which gene variations are meaningful.

I’m thinking of the doppelganger thought experiment. Am I really the only person like me that has ever lived or will ever live? Or is it statistically possible that another genetically identical version of me could exist within the timeline of the universe (as I mentioned, with a 50% probability or better)?

If someone were killed, you could be charged with murder because you’re taking actions that could reasonably result in death.

IANAL

Edit: Here are some real-world examples.

Meth manufacturing explosion leads to murder charges

Temple City man charged with murder in explosions that killed 5 at illegal cannabis labs

Athens man sentenced after meth lab explosion

There are all sorts of additional charges that might be piled on, like reckless endangerment or child endangerment if there are any children in the immediate vicinity.

That sounds like the first person to get killed by the demons talking.

Right before they say, “oh, that’s weird. I swear I removed these yesterday.”

I’ve seen this movie before. You need to throw away that computer and then burn down the dump.
