HARD SciFi Futurism: Do you know of any sources speculating about advanced bio-technology as a replacement for silicon compute?
I know about the recent stuff using DNA as a storage medium. I am interested in writing a story where humans have mastered everything Evolution has to offer; a time when technology is completely integrated into a vivarium/Bioregenerative Life Support System like ecosystem on multiple levels....

This isn’t meant to be a discussion on the morality of the embargo, but the affects of the embargo ending for both countries. These affects can be political, economic, or social.
For those who aren't burdened with chronic or intermittent depression, how does that feel?
When you’re lonely, you don’t become cripplingly hopeless and withdraw from life? You just contact some friends or easily make new friends and have a good time and carry on with life?...

If the US was ICBM attacked why do you think they would not sound the civil defense alert on everything as soon as they confirmed our launch?
Why I say confirmed our launch is there have been at least one close call on each side. One I remember the details of one was the USSR Officer in charge, Stanislav Petrov, over-rode the information from the radar and 40 years ago, on 26 September 1983, he saved from potential nuclear disaster....
What has been the most awkward moment for you this month?
What's your secret ingredient that makes your version of a common dish better than anyone else's?
Mine probably isn’t that secret these days, but almost every sauce I add nutritional yeast to. Curry, chilli, bolognese, it just makes them all better.
What lunches do you eat on a weekly basis?
I’m looking for easy and cheap options for lunches on weekdays. I mostly eat deli sandwiches and hot dogs right now and I always feel like shit after eating them. I think I need something healthier but I don’t have time over my lunch hour to cook anything too fancy. What do you all do for reliable healthy easy lunches?
Are we all fucked?
I’m worried for the world. All I’ve been thinking about is WW3 and this shit makes me want to vomit. I can’t even smoke weed anymore without having a near panic attack. I feel unmotivated.

Nowadays, most people use password managers (hopefully). However, there are still some passwords that you need to memorize, like master password (for a password manager), phone lock, wifi password, etc....
do you use cotton leggings? would you recommend them?
I don’t see much the point: cotton breaks easier than polyester, is not as expandable as spandex, cotton absorbs moisture, whereas polyester keeps it out....

People not from the USA and have never visited: What is the smallest US city you know by name?
Like, can you name just a few large cities in certain regions, none at all, wtf is the USA, etc....
What are Some Good, Recent, and Available Dumb Cars?
I have a 2010 Toyota Corolla. She’s been my trusty steed for the last 14 years and is in good working order. I recognize she won’t last forever, and if, god forbid (mostly for her) I get in an accident, I will need to get a new car. So what dumb cars do you drive, and what would you replace them with?

What's the best voice assistant app that works well on Redmi Note 13?
Google Assistant refuses to work well with this phone so I’m looking for good, free alternatives.
How easy is deepfake now? I just watched a show and I want to change the actor to an old timey one. NOT PORN. Just a cool show I think would be suited to this actor and I can't get it out of my head.
For the few who want to know the show and the actor, it’s “Monsieur Spade,” an AMC produced take on Sam Spade post-America, retired and living in France. I think it’s really well done, and Clive Owen does a great job of playing San Spade but…I REALLY want to replace his face and voice with Bogart’s....
