The bee doesn't have to know anything about numbers to make the honeycomb. All it needs to know is how big to make the circle (bee-sized) and where the circle should be (touching two other circles). From there, the hexagons form naturally.

Firstly, I don't know why English speaking countries are relevant when the article is about Japanese companies with people/assets in Taiwan preparing for an invasion scenario.

Secondly, it's not wild at all that any country with substantial investments in Taiwan would be worried about China's relationship with Taiwan. The China-Taiwan situation has become very tense in recent years, while the world economy has only become more dependent on Taiwan's semiconductor industry and, consequently, on Taiwan's political situation.

If we compare this to the US involvement in Guatamala to protect United Fruit Co's banana production, this is substantially less wild.

It won't be as simple as that and the engineers who work on these systems can only think in terms of LLM and text classification, so they'd run your message through a classifier and end the conversation if it returns a "goodbye or thanks" score above 0.8, saving exactly 0 compute power.

You can sit on it, or you can press it with something flat and heavy. Lan Lam includes squashing for an hour as a required step in her Simple rules for better sandwiches (Youtube), but she uses a cutting board and a pot. Pressing helps keep a big sandwich together and it also mixes the flavors a little.

Jamming it in a jar doesn't really work for keeping it together (that burger looks like it needs to be eaten with a spoon), but it could still help disperse the flavors.

When the apocalypse hits, canned cheeseburgers are going to be the diamonds of the wastelands. But nobody ever finds out they're actually horrible, they're purely valuated on the idea of eating a cheeseburger.

Cane sugar is catholic, beet sugar is protestant, corn sugar is mormon.

That's Stephen King, the author. Stephen Hawking is the scientist famous for having black hole radiation named after him. Stephen Hawking didn't recently tweet, because he's been dead for a while.

I got it the normal way. Blue wasn't obvious to me and I didn't even see purple when it was all I had left.

PurpleTang is a fish? I thought it was a type of orange ape.

febr//uary skips the second box, so I think they aimed to have an equal number of options in each column.

Cute name! Don't think I'll have any trouble recognizing you whatever the name says, your style is very distinctive and funny. And I won't call you smarty for picking a good name, hehe... You're a li'l dummy, maria!!

Edit: Do you care about the capital letter on your name? You don't use them at all, but now I'm not sure if it's part of the name or if I'm free to capitalize however I like.
