No, the issue is that he didn’t understand how the technology he was using worked. I mean, one of Apple’s most prevalently advertised features is their product integration, it’s like, their whole deal.

Exactly, it doesn’t belong to the offspring, that’s why I said it is a proto-chicken’s egg. It belongs to the ones that made it and raised it. But we know the contents because it’s a preset hypothetical in which the egg hatches and it has a chicken in it. So it’s a chicken egg that belongs to proto-chickens.

I just don’t get why you’re so hung up on the potentiality of an unhatched egg when that has nothing to do with the scenario. The egg in the scenario hatches and it has a chicken in it. That’s the whole point of the scenario.

No, if a chicken could hatch out of it, regardless of whether or not it actually did, it’s a chicken egg. Nothing else could hatch out of it and it didn’t somehow cease to have been an egg just because it doesn’t hatch.

No it wouldn’t. If we’re going to talk about the creation of chickens as happening at a single instance of egg-laying, the two progenitors of said first chicken would be proto-chickens whose DNA combined in the fertilized egg to make, for the first time ever, a chicken. Yes, it’s a chicken egg, because it contains a chicken, but it’s also a proto-chicken’s egg because it wasn’t laid by a full chicken. It couldn’t have been, they didn’t exist yet.

It’s an egg that will hatch into a chicken, since the “first” chicken must have hatched out of an egg that was laid and fertilized by two “non-chickens” whose DNA combined together to make a full-blown chicken. Of course it wasn’t actually just one egg, but really, no matter how you think about it, the egg came first.

Surely you can do all that without tying the functioning of the entire pumping system directly to the time stamp though, right?

Why does the fuel pump need to know what date it is?

It was at 0 votes and I felt bad for the bot, upvoted it, then started reading it. I quickly changed it to a downvote. Bad bot.

You can’t lose what you never had. It’s desired ad revenue they’re after.

Luckily, copyright law is based on guesses!

Sounds like the problem is more that they’re for sale in the first place, not that they don’t have a warrant. They don’t need it because our privacy laws are so outdated and ineffectual(/nonexistent).

Yeah, like people haven’t been making fake sexual images of celebrities for decades…

Unsurprisingly, it was the parasites’ idea.
