I am not well informed in biology or taxonomy, but from a layman's perspective, fungi seems mysterious to me because it is not an animal nor a plant. Why so? Why is it classified as a different type of living being?

Why is gravity so special? Special relativity can explain 4-acceleration already, so why did Einstein develop another theory? I am about to study general relativity and I wanted to understand.

Hello everyone, I have been assigned to mime orchard a while back and passed the onboarding; worked for an hour when initially it said task limit reached and after a week or so there seem to be no tasks at all, is anyone on the same boat? :D

Occam's razor is the only tool we have at hand. Andrew deceived his parents and did not go to school that day, to take a train to London where he would vanish. He took his PSP but not its charger, he emptied his bank account but did not take his birthday money, he bought a one way ticket but put his clothes into the washer. These facts don't directly say anything, therefore to say that these facts point to anything that would explain the outcome of the case is an ASSUMPTION. I have to make this distinction because people are terrible (especially in this sub) at identifying what is circumstantial evidence and what is direct evidence. Buying a one way ticked is not a conclusive evidence of suicide, and not even of intending to leave forever. The evidence says that there was no trace of online activity, no evidence of grooming whatsoever. There is no direct evidence of Andrew contemplating suicide, or him being homosexual, wanting to run away etc. That being said, absence of evidence for some particular event is not evidence that it did not happen, however it reduces its likelihood relative to what is not assumed. And the least assumed is this: Andrew went to london due to a reason independent of his disappearance, and died in a way that his body was unable to located for decades: overwhelmingly likely due to foul play. Yes, there are explicit assumptions here but they are the most probable ones that don't depend on even more assumptions. If you say: "Andrew bought a one way ticket because he was gonna kill himself in London", you are assuming he was suicidal, which no evidence is there to point to, and you are assuming the one way ticket was that exact reason. Then someone asks "then why did he take money?" I heard people say: "He wanted to have fun on his last day!", assumption after assumption, posterior probabilities galore. Not to mention not being found after commiting suicide in London is only possible if you threw yourself in the Thames, another assumption. Yet, suicide is possible; just simply probabilistically inferior to opportunistic foul play. Foul play assumes nothing because it does not relate to Andrew in anyway: it is a complete external factor. This is case where the last visual evidence is from a frame of almost 20 years old analog CCTV footage, your only ally is probability.

Is it viable to pursue a career of embedded? I took microcontoller classes recently and am a new grad. I had the most fun I had in life while I built my gameboy emulator. I am considering this career path... What would the people, you who have much more experience than I have would say? Is it still viable in the big 26? Thank you :)
