DiCaprio is known for being very selective with the movies that he works on. Not that Gadot is at Leo's level, but the point stands that an actor's number of movies acted in doesn't always correspond to talent or relevance. Just look at Nicolas Cage.

Natural selection is the theory
Evolution is the observable fact that mutations are accumulated over time and this can result in activation / deactivation / gain / loss of protein function.
If the question is whether empirical observations are facts, then sure. But the real debate (between scientifically illiterate and literate) has always been something different. For some reason, when it involves the existence of human beings it becomes unbelievable.

As much as anything in science can be considered 100% proven fact, which is to say, not at all.

There's an enormous amount of evidence that evolution by natural selection - which, by the way, makes no attempt to explain the origins of life itself, but rather how it changes to suit its environment - happens in real life.

That said, there was also an enormous amount of evidence that Newton's laws were correct, before Einstein corrected them. Now we know that Newtonian physics is a very accurate approximation under certain circumstances, but in exotic enough environments, it is no longer accurate.

The same could very well happen with Darwinian evolution. As I say, his ideas are supported by much evidence today. But to consider something an immutable scientific fact is pretty unscientific.

I think the intent is that plenty of people die not getting to find and practice their passion. Jessi did, which is a good thing. People are taking a positive from a tragedy.

To those that say cooking is easy: HOW?

Can you name ways for someone to LEARN To cook?

Also, someone to learn how to

1) Turn on a stove and know how to use it(i dunno if mine even turns on!)
2) what "pre heating" means
3) How to chop things
About the chopping, this video's pretty good.



The key is to have a sharp knife, because you need less force to cut food, making it actually much safer. The grip is also important - it's unintuitive but putting the tip of your finger on the flat of the blade make it easier to control, again making it safer. For this reason a bigger knife is usually better, but if you don't have one, just buy whatever you can afford. And always do the "claw" grip to avoid chopping your fingers - tuck the finger tips behind the knuckle so there's literally no way you'll cut your finger.

Don't worry about the speed, just focus on taking the above safety measures. If you're wondering which specific foods you should practice chopping first, go with onions and garlic, as in the video. They're in almost every dish because they pack a lot of flavour, so the biggest time saver is to work on being comfortable chopping them.

two questions:

1) What if you don't know how to cook
2) I'm someone that HATES all vegetables(seriously, can't name one that my tastes bud will like!), is that mandatory?
1) Learn. There are many websites with meal plans and recipes to follow.

2) Almost everything is an acquired taste, especially when you are used to processed foods. Processed foods are often artificially flavoured, so their flavours are much more intense than more natural foods. If you're used to those flavours then natural foods like veggies will taste bland to you.

The fix is to stop eating as much (ideally, all) processed stuff and get on the whole food train.

As with anything, though, you're setting yourself up for failure if you try to change too much all at once. Make it more gradual by limiting yourself to two "cheat" foods per day or something, with the goal of eliminating them altogether.

Perhaps, but you can have a visually stunning movie with gorgeous sound and that might be enough to enjoy it.

Sometimes its hard to distinguish which flaws stem from writing and from directing, too. Like was it Rian Johnsons idea to take a steamy shit on the franchise, or the writers, or both?

As for the speed thing, you definitely shouldn't fuck around with people like that. Just let them pass and forget about it. But it is annoying. Seems like no matter how fast you're going, someone behind you wants to go faster. And a lot of the time they'll pass me and then start going the same speed that I was going before! I think some people just don't like being behind others. Psychology or something.

Yep. And for it to turn on and get you back into gaming as fast as possible. Because that was a big complaint from some people.

They want a seemless gaming experience, where you aren't waiting around for downloads, update, patches, and loading screens.
I can understand that convenience, but with the Switch if I leave it sleeping for a while it'll feel warm when I go to use it. Kind of makes me nervous.

Wow so instead of changing lanes to let the faster car pass you risked an accident by going even slower

You showed them
I've seen people post stuff like this on the Internet a lot and it always confused me.

Around here, if you're on a highway with two lanes - at least all the ones I've been on - then you need to stay in the right lane unless you're passing someone. There will be signs every few hundred metres stating "keep right except to pass". In cities or highways near cities then you don't really get a choice of lane, it depends on where you're going.

Is it really the case that you can switch lanes as much as you want in other places? Sounds annoying to drive that way.

Seems like all of the current and last gen consoles are trying to push for not actually turning the consoles off when you push the power button. What's the reason? Do designers really think it's more convenient, or is the device doing something that benefits the company when it's 'asleep'?

It's a funny bit of hindsight. Spiderman itself was a groundbreaking movie in the superhero genre so before that superhero films had no future. There's no way Marvel could have predicted the lack of Spiderman being so grievously felt in the MCU. They made the right choice at the time, but it was wrong in the long run.
The MCU as we know it wouldn't exist if Marvel had kept the film rights to Spider-Man and the X-Men. No way in hell would they gamble with an Iron Man movie if they didn't have to.

I'll be heartbroken if no deal is reached in the future because Holland's Spidey movies have been amazing additions to the MCU.

If it's not testable by science then that is synonymous with "not real".

I don't think you get what science is. It's an explanation of reality. If something inherently "can't be explained", congratulations, it isn't real.
No need to be condescending. I'm perfectly clear on what science is.

I disagree that "testable by science" equates to "real". Sounds like you aren't open to being convinced otherwise though.

But for anyone else reading that's interested, I don't believe in the supernatural at all. I am just lead to believe from my personal experiences that my human experience cannot be understood by other humans through scientific means.
