Cloning is very different though. In cloning you aren't exactly copying the neurons and their connections. That means the cloned cat will learn different things, be different, just from that very fact. All it takes is one or two small daily differences in routine as the kitten grows and bam, different personality.

It's the classic struggle of how much is nature (genetics) and how much is nurture.

With teleportation the neutral pathways are copied. It becomes more of a question of what makes you "you". Is there some spirit that gets left behind? Is it the memories that do get copied? Is it merely enough that you believe you're you?

That reminds me. Need to go clone some grape cultivars and do some more guerilla gardening at my buddy's house

I don't know if they're accustomed to the norms more but Hooters starts as in person encounter. It's already a very different dynamic from lurking online amongst hundreds watching a person knowing they can't see you.

Talking in just modern times most any technology uses it. It's used in medicine as nanoparticles for biosensors and cancer treatment (photothermal therapy) as well as targeted medicine delivery. Pretty much all computers have gold wires in them due to it's conductive properties which sure isn't necessary for sustaining life technically but modern life, yes. It's been used in dentistry since like 1000 BC because of how inert it is, it's used in chemistry all over the place and material science which we rely on to use on all the previous fields. I could go on but I think the point is clear, gold has many many uses beyond just jewelry.

If Shroombeard isn't a Circle of Spores druid I'll eat my mushroom hat.

As a DM. I'd totally let a player pick a new body each day or something. Like up to Dex mod per long rest you can take 10 minutes to swap bodies or something. And you get stat modifiers based on which body you have.

Break the game? Maybe. Fun? Definitely in the right hands

Sadly I've still never seen any real papers on this being an actual theory.

I still want to believe I'm Ent livestock though.

I get what you're saying, and agree, but there were many more, Ancestry.com and findagrave.com and many more were also down (while I'm in the middle of an ancestry fact finding trip). It really was massive.

That's drying up for even Nvidia if the circular investing we're seeing is any indication

Maybe if y'all would actually close tickets once an eon we wouldn't skip it. I left IT because it was full of some of the laziest SOBs in existence

There's only a few big web hosts really. It's like with regular services like e-commerce or whatever. There's Amazon, Oracle, and Microsoft. Over time they've either bought or undercut competitors until it's one big centralized web world. There's others but they're small fish to those three.
