>why cannot bioengineer a fungus that lives on desert sand and sucks up water and heat?
I mean, honestly where to start. I'd love to just call you a nobooks retard and laugh but that never seems to work....sigh....here goes.

For the purpose of this discussion we are discussing mushrooms in the kingdom Fungi as the others are small colonies that can not mass and spread like mushrooms. Meaning no molds, mildews, or yeasts which also live in wet environments anyways. So just Basidiomycota (Club Fungi) & Ascomycota (Sac Fungi). These fungi have their main body, the Mycelium, which can grow and spread into a large subterranean network. The largest such single Mycelium network was found in Oregon at 2,385 acres. A very wet place BTW.

Why can't fungus grow in sand?
>Fungus cannot easily grow in pure sand because it lacks the organic food sources (like cellulose and sugars) and the moisture-retaining nutrients that fungi need to survive. Pure sand is primarily inert silicon dioxide, making it an ecological dead zone for most microbes.

Why can't fungus just suck up the water?
There is no water to suck up stupid, least of all in the top layers of sand where the Mycelium would live.
>Living mycelium typically consists of 85% to 92% water by weight, which closely matches the moisture composition of fully grown mushrooms.
Fungus is almost all water, like literally.

Why can't fungus just soak up all the heat?
How would it do that exactly? What are the mechanisms of physics you propose this happens under? The Mycelium is the main body of the fungus and the mushroom is a tiny part of it's reproductive cycle. The Mycelium is always underground and largely insulated from the heat anyways so again, how would this happen with fungus, spoiler it never will.

Reminder that sun tanning is recognised as the damage of the skin. There is no such thing as a safe tan. Being in the sun is terrible for you. It's crazy to think people go outside when UV intensity increases throughout the year and spend more time outside. You should be doing the exact opposite. Also during the summer as a european 15 minutes is enough to get your daily amount of vitamin D.

You either post it online and get whacked, or you build it (privately) and then you still get murdered, because they know where you live and are watching your every move, everywhere, no matter where you go. They can pull together a record of all your purchases, every store you've visited and every website you've searched (even in incognito, yes, and even on .onion sites with packet interceptors and terahertz-wavelength data-receivers). Like >>16996051 said, the powers that be...
Yeah... anyways, in this day and age, you're better off putting your money into plasmonics or microwave generators that get, after some transistor amplification circuitry, tuned to a converter that will direct the energy into a transformer and then an antennae, creating a beam so that it can be combined (with waveguide/mirrors mathematically calculated with precision) to form a very powerful beam that will have ionization capacity in free space under regular ambient conditions, without the use of vacuum tubes, A.K.A. a visible-and-microwave-light hybrid directed-energy-weapon. It's not quite as cool as a jetpack or a flying car, or healing yourself of injury, immediately, or transform the world by curing every disease, but it's very feasible if you are bored and need something to do.
Whatever inventions you create, share it! We'd love to see it.)

Genomic data and HARs prove adhd and autism were selected for in the Palaeolithic and are directly connected to the development of the neocortex while psychopathy and sociopathy were selected for during the Neolithic when agricultural land allowed for inheritance and favoured long term strategy over cooperation.

The literature is explicit. The autistic/adhd brain modulated by HARs is further away from the chimp brain. This is exclusively polymorphic inherited autism which used to be called 'high functioning' it excludes high level non functioning autists which experienced a spontaneous collapse from negative HAR mutation and most often have no history of family autism.

Of course there’s an absolute time. Just because the tick rate is constant and non-discreet doesn’t mean there’s no world clock. Relative speeds are all relative to the absolute time constant in the global frame.

Wrong. CMB dipol is a more then zero evidence that we are in motion to an absolute reference frame. Why else would it be almost perfect, but with a dipol from relative speed of 370 km/s? Simplest conclusion is in the reference frame its extremely homogenous, and in motion we see the doppler effect.

My criticism is 100% scientific. If CMB was known 1905 Einstein would not have gotten away with relativity.
What about my argument is "unscientific" according to you? Lets go through.
>Why else would it be almost perfect, but with a dipol from relative speed of 370 km/s?
This is a fact
>Simplest conclusion is in the reference frame its extremely homogenous, and in motion we see the doppler effect.
This is actually not a "simple conclusion", its the only real conclusion
>CMB dipol is a more then zero evidence that we are in motion to an absolute reference frame.
And this follows, since we hvae some physical effect that is homogenous in this reference frame only.

Yeah over 20+ years. It takes a while. People have always lost teeth. You don't just lose a tooth and then they all start swinging around and falling out. If you hit 40/50 with most of your teeth you'll probably be fine. And in around 30 years I think regrowing teeth and enamel will start coming to market. Losing a tooth isn't the end of the world. The prices of implants are coming down and I would suggest an implant if possible but a bridge or missing tooth isn't the end of the world. He will be in paid from hot and cold drinks and food is the nerve is exposed and will be begging to have it ripped out eventually.

entonoia: psychopathologic symptom at the opposite end from paranoia on the the trust-suspicion axis. Extreme manifestation seen in William's Syndrome sufferers.

Some people who can use behavioural clues for interpersonal relations to determine, reality-based whom to trust and not trust and in different domains, e. g., one guy you'd trust with a confidence but never with your car and vice-versa, but they automatically trust anyone with an air of authority, despite clues and experience of being betrayed.

New research shows China leads research in 90% of crucial technologies & ignoring this means we're living in a delusional bubble, where we still think the West is the Sci-Tech leader.

I think a lot of people are in denial, or just can't accept that China is already the world's leading nation for science and technology. I can't blame them for their ignorance. Most English-language media studiously avoid mentioning it. Time and time again, I see topics like AI, space & robotics covered, with only developments in Western countries talked of, as if China doesn't exist. Despite the fact that it's now the leader in so many fields.

The problem with complacency and ignorance is that it gives you a really distorted map of reality. You can't understand how the 21st century is developing without factoring in China, and ignoring China means you're being delusional.
