Think of it as a ling runby when you are being harassed. To lock in gameplay on opponents half, try transitioning into a question, such as "where did you get that?". | ||

For example, you don't have to tip ever, but a lot of the time people do. If you go to an AYCE restaurant, you'd hope that people eat relatively normal proportions of meat/salad/bread/rice etc, even though they'll eat until they are super full, and you can base your price off of that. If that was the case, people would maximize their utility. On the other hand, there will be someone that only eats meat, which will be expensive for the restaurant, and they'll have to have higher prices to ensure they are not losing money on these people. It's kind of like the Prisoner's Dilemma in game theory. So to that end, do I think consumers would be better off in the long term if you didn't do that? Yeah. Do I blame you for taking full advantage of an offer? No. Would I do it? Probably. I think this issue can be largely attributed to EU/NA cultural differences. I have found that in NA, the customer-business relations are different than in EU, the business is in a stronger position both in their approach to the customer and in their reception, this is both rooted and reflected in the customer protection rights in EU - those not only improve the factual position of the customer, but also change the feeling of the relation, because the customer feels much more empowered. So here nobody really blinks an eye if you abuse any offer to the fullest and the business expect you to do that and plan accordingly. | ||

Only do that if you really want the person to go away and never consider talking to you again, though. | ||

Now my story begins in Nineteen-dickety-two. We had to say "dickety" because the Kaiser had stolen the wold "twenty". I chased that rascal to get it back, but gave up after dickety-six miles. | ||

This question has been bugging me for a while Mutation is a random change of DNA (in genetics context). Evolution of the process where individuals with beneficial mutations are selected over other individuals. | ||

example: there's a gen mutation on X bacteria. When can we assume that X bacteria has evolved, not mutated? | ||

When can we assume that X bacteria has evolved, not mutated? You can't really talk about evolution of a single cell in that way. Evolution is the process of selection of the fittest, and you kindof need a bunch of things for that. So if you have 10k cells, and one cell gains a mutation that provides an advantage, it'll start proliferating more than the other cells, and over time the population of vessels will be dominated by the offspring of the mutated cell, all with this new mutation. That's evolution, and I guess you could say that the population of cells has evolved. The hots lore where a single zerg can absorb some things from other people and transform, isn't really evolution in the genetic sense. Maybe the ability to transform like that was evolutionarily selected for, and there will be some evolution going on selecting zergs that absorb powerful traits. But it doesn't make sense to say that you eat someone's DNA, integrate it with your own, and call it evolution. Did that answer your question? | ||
