By the way, in case you'd have a guess for the answer:
If scientists really wanted to, throwing all questions of ethics out the window, would it be possible to genetically engineer a person with four arms instead of two, kinda like Goro? Does our current understanding of this go far enough to make deliberate changes like that? And would that baby be able to develop in a normal woman's pregnancy?
So in the end Hox genes are probably what you are looking for.
Thank you! I will read up on that.
If leg Hox genes are expressed where fruitfly normally have antennae, you get this horror:
So, a core part of my question is what causes certain genes to be expressed in certain places in the body, and specifically how this comes about from genetics alone (i.e. not artificially in lab experiments). In my past searches I did find some info about forcing gene expression in places where it wouldn't normally happen, which creates horrors similar to the one you shared, but I never found an answer for how this is controlled in natural development. Hox genes seem to be the answer I'm looking for :)
Macro generally is when a lens will reproduce an object the same size on film/sensor as it is in life.
Hey that's pretty cool. Is it really what happens?
You're in the majority in general society though, IMO. And I'm with you as well.
Have you ever actually seen someone care about that particular choice of terminology, without being sarcastic trying to be funny?
If all your camera photos and videos are getting backed up anyway, which other photos/movies would you manually select to back up?
If you don't want all your camera photos backed up, I think you can select a different album (or multiple albums) to be backed up instead. Albums are just subfolders of the DCIM folders.
If you do that, you can back up specific photos by moving/copying them to the album that gets backed up.
I never tried it though so perhaps it's not as straightforward.
By the way, regarding the issues of this post, I'm in contact with Proton support. They haven't been able to replicate the issue but they sent me a version of the app that can save debug logs. When I get anything conclusive I'll post an update.
Alright, fair point. Clearly there are merits to both systems (see other answers). If there's a floor -1 and a floor 1 I'd expect there to be a floor 0 between them, and I don't think anyone would propose that floor 0 would have you climb down from street level to reach. That's why it makes sense to have ground floor at 0 to me.
It also might help to call them floor 1, floor 2 etc. instead of first floor, second floor, etc.. It's kind of like how the 20th century is the one going 19xx. So the 20th floor being floor 19 isn't too farfetched.
What do you mean I'm overthinking this?!
As others have said, in many countries it'd be:
0, 1, 2, 3 or
G, 1, 2, 3 or
L, 1, 2, 3
Edit: also, bold of you to assume there's an elevator!
To reach the 2nd floor you need to go up 2 floors
To reach the 1st floor you need to go up 1 floor
If you go up 0 floors, you're on floor 0 - aka the ground floor.
I might have to read that. Thank you.
