No panic at all. The ICC is irrelevant to anyone here's day to day life.

Re:How sea stars build materials that can see on Monday July 13, 2026 @05:27PM (#48899151)
This is worth digging into: "Sea star skeletons are composed of intricate networks of pores that minimize material use while maintaining mechanical performance. In conventional engineering materials, adding pores usually reduces stiffness and strength. The sea star overcomes this challenge through carefully controlled architectural design."

I wonder how we can use this research to adapt industry. Also, good on Penn for bringing diversity to the research team!

oh, you'll get him with that one!

Not downvoting either, can’t be bothered to do so (I assume you’re just going to get flagged). Frankly, I took interest in your comment because it doesn’t fit the mold for an effective HN comment (for worse).

Re:Rejected Emoji Proposals on Saturday February 18, 2023 @12:18AM (#34844153)
Why is it appropriate for you to suggest how guys will use that emoji, but it’d be wrong for me to suggest how girls may learn to use a different emoji?

This is not how the guys I know use this emoji, btw.

That’s the same perspective as all my college friends who’ve not found a partner to settle down with (~15y out).
