Maybe biology hasn't changed recently, it's just that society isn't suppressing the people you find distasteful.

Biology has changed recently, we have never been more obese with as many synthetic hormones in our diets.

Facebook showing me political ragebait was the reason I uninstalled the app and stopped using Facebook.

Not really. It's necessary to meet our climate goals. They also depend on a lot of other technology that doesn't exist yet that we'll need to develop and subsidize over the coming years.

Much greater than previous superconductors I would assume.

Kurzgesagt has a video that explains why it isn't a good idea.

> collision-only slingshot needs precision. But we're good at precision maneuvers with modern computers

That precision doesn’t get around the physics. Why do you think none of our missions to the inner Solar System have tried this?

You don't need to just "get past Earth's orbit", you need to deorbit out of Earth's orbit around the sun if you want to reach the sun. This requires a much higher (at least double) delta-v than leaving Earth's gravity well alone.

Bloody love yoga

They want a phone number to make sure you're not a spammer taking over the account.

Then the message about someone else trying to get access to an account would be a lie. Also it is unclear how a phone number can prove that I am not a spammer. I think that just looking at a number of emails sent would be a better metric.

A spammer probably has many throwaway phone numbers to use, since they are likely to care much less about companies harvesting data anyway.

Couldn't you date someone attainable rather than staying single to keep a fantasy alive?

Sound logic but settling isn't my strong suit. Also I very much wanted children

I do not disagree with you. I’m in a happy relationship, but if I wasn’t I’d rather be single than settling with someone I wouldn’t find attractive just because they were “attainable”.

You can absolutely still have children, but you're going to have to settle slightly on aesthetics to find a woman 30-35 who considers you in her league.

(also, just lose some weight, even if you don't get fit. it's an incredible level-up.)

Because it was the truth at the time.
