  • Armies have historicly been used just as much to keep the local population in line as to wage war.

    I spend about 1/4 of the year in the UK so I'm used to it now but I remember being shocked by the bad teeth.

  • Robots take over humanity has been around since literally the first robot story. R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots) is where the word robot was coined.

  • I think he was being sarcastic. "They are woman so they are basically the same." Is the argument he is attacking.

  • Not a dumb question. I think it's because the Occipital lobe is an evolutionary old part of the brain. It's right on top of the brain stem the oldest part.

    The newer parts developed between the eyes and the older parts of the brain. Pushing the eyes forward. That's my understanding but I might be wrong.

    Hopefully if I am wrong someone jumps in and provides a correction.

  • No blind spot and better light detection. The light having to pass through the nerves causes a lot to be lost.

  • Cephalopod precursors evolved eyes and then brains developed from the eye so their eye is structured correctly.

    Vertebrate precursors evolved the brian first and the eye evolved out the brain as a sensory stub. So it's upside down and inside out like in picture.

    The nerve cluster goes through the back of the eye splits and folds back to end in light receptors. Light hase to go through the nerves before hitting the sensor.

    There is even a reflective layer after the sensors that gives the sensors a second chance at picking up the light. This is what causes the red eye or green eye you sometimes see in flash photography.

    It would require a genetic rebuild to fix this and the intermediate steps evolution usually use would be so disadvantageous they are selected against. So the right combo of mutations to give us a working octopus eye is VERY unlikely to happen.

  • Welcome to the world of translation where there is seldom a 1 to 1 translation. You often have to use something close but not correct or several words. It's tough to decide which is better in a situation.

  • I remember the add that made me install my first add blocker. It stated playing the sound of knocking on glass and a voice going "Hey You!". With a looped videoof some guy waving at me.

    Every so often one gets through my blocker and they have only gotten more annoying.

  • I was told Annie Hall was his best. I got to the scene in the movie theater line and turned it off. His jokes are so obvious that I think his fans feel smart predicting what's going to happen next.
