Thank you both, Smokeydope and LucidNightmare. That was an interesting read! I gave SearXNG (paulgo.io) a try and it was a refreshing experience, I'm going to start using it regularly to see how well it does.

Each European city is in its own way unforgettable. It would be difficult to — Rome! By all means, Rome.

I should add that you can have many dysfunctional genes in your DNA without having any health problems if the genes regulate something optional like hair color and not vital like proper muscle production. So you can have lots of dysfunctional genes without having any medical dysfunction.

It's usually a mutation that doesn't allow the gene to work properly. An important part of the gene can be deleted or the DNA sequence is changed in some other way. Sometimes a change in just one letter of the code can break the functionality of the gene. When the cell tries to make a protein based on the mutated sequence, it produces a protein that cannot be used for any purpose in the body or it cannot produce the protein at all.

I was so disappointed when they introduced the Borg queen. The hive mind concept is so interesting and it suffered greatly afterwards. Just like when in Discovery they moved the interestingly widespread Control into a single body, so that it could be easily dealt with. I see it as lazy writing and not enough fantasy.

Dysfunction of a gene. Not a dysfunction as in a health problem.

At the same time, east asian people are not known for having more trouble with being overweight. But that's probably much more complicated.

This only applies if there's plastic INSTEAD of tissue. In case there's plastic IN ADDITION to tissue, then it makes you heavier, but it still makes you less dense, so you can float better in water.

I wish there was a simple glass full of water emoji. Also a hugging one with a concerned face.

This is perfectly possible. But why worry about it? It wouldn't make things less fun!
