Since they’re fossilized, there’s no longer any biological material; cloning wouldn’t be possible.

I see it’s been a while since you’ve posted this, and on my platform it looks as though you never received a reply, so: I’ve been learning about GURPS and building my first campaign and the most common author note is that GURPS is a framework, and that the GM is welcome to add, remove, and modify any aspect they wish. That being said, if you want to run your sessions with your friends with multiple actions per turn, then have at it! You might have to re-balance some things but that’s fine.

Don’t believe his lies.

The real secret, in addition to holding near embers instead of over the flame, is once you get that light brown toasty exterior is to slide it off like a glove. You eat that bit and then roast it again.

This is an Advertorial. It’s an ad made to look like some kind of story.

Buy low, sell high is applicable to trading securities which is only a minor part overall of personal finance.

Personal finance in its whole is a system for managing the flow of one’s money in an optimized way which both minimizes losses to taxes and interest while maximizing ROI.

A great starting resource is the Bogleheads wiki: https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Getting_started

They provide general flows to managing personal finances.

I always saw it as:

MR NOT DUCKS

OSAR, CD ED BD WINGS?

WALL BE. MR DUCKS.

It’s worse than this. They’re lobbying for AI legislation which almost certainly will result in simply pulling up the ladder and insulate themselves as the only groups authorized to develop the tech however they see fit.

Weird. The last word in your post is all asterisks for me.

I ignore them all until my supervisor mentions it.

In this study, the researchers asked about 200 non-lawyers (native speakers of English living in the United States, who were recruited through a crowdsourcing site called Prolific), to write two types of texts. In the first task, people were told to write laws prohibiting crimes such as drunk driving, burglary, arson, and drug trafficking. In the second task, they were asked to write stories about those crimes.

To test the copy and edit hypothesis, half of the participants were asked to add additional information after they wrote their initial law or story. The researchers found that all of the subjects wrote laws with center-embedded clauses, regardless of whether they wrote the law all at once or were told to write a draft and then add to it later. And, when they wrote stories related to those laws, they wrote in much plainer English, regardless of whether they had to add information later.

Emphasis mine. That’s not to say what you’ve mentioned doesn’t happen, but even non-lawyers wind up writing this way. The article is interesting and worth reading.

The researchers had a couple of hypotheses for why legalese is so prevalent. One was the “copy and edit hypothesis,” which suggests that legal documents begin with a simple premise, and then additional information and definitions are inserted into already existing sentences, creating complex center-embedded clauses.

“We thought it was plausible that what happens is you start with an initial draft that’s simple, and then later you think of all these other conditions that you want to include. And the idea is that once you’ve started, it’s much easier to center-embed that into the existing provision,” says Martinez, who is now a fellow and instructor at the University of Chicago Law School.
