Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Summary

Leading scientists, including Nobel laureates, are urging a halt to research on creating “mirror life” microbes, citing “unprecedented risks” to life on Earth.

Mirror microbes, built from reversed molecular structures, could evade natural immune systems, leading to uncontrollable lethal infections.

While mirror molecules hold potential for medical and industrial uses, researchers warn that mirror organisms could escape containment and resist antibiotics.

A 299-page report in Science advocates banning such research until safety can be ensured and calls for global debate on its ethical and ecological implications.

To be fair, whoever designed that park was a moron.

That’s what you get when you treat your IT like crap and only hire one person.

Newman didn't built the park though. If you require power for the park to not fall apart immediately, you've already lost.

Remember that whole movie happens in one night. T rexes breaking confinement the moment the fence isn't electrified means some engineer fucked up big time.

I mean IT people just sit around all day on the computer anyway

Ok. THANK YOU. I also have to say my biggest issue with the newer one (I forget which) is when the parks going to hell, and the park director just decides to go off into the jungle. Like outside of just design of the park, there is NO way you don't have rigid protocols in-place. Like you read about half the crap Disney does/can do at their parks... there's no way the head of the park just goes "oh you guys got this, I'll be back at some point, just do your best".

Like if ONLY for the reason it would be a known PR disaster for something that in universe already had PR disasters... that shit would have been drilled in since day -1000. It's my biggest issue with the writing because it's not even sci-fi.

/end rant.

Yeah, people in real life won't be morons, so that would never happen to us. I'm sure the company giving us the lowest bid has probably found some heretofore unknown innovation in efficiency. The end result will be just as good, but way cheaper...
