That hurts. Please tell me that a little bit later it says "(/jk)" or something.

The horrible, horrible things you learn about your friends when morality and ethics problems are the topic.

Time to be called an idealistic moron! Suppose, if you will, a society much like our own, in a future that may be possible but is somewhat far off and unlikely. We have workable cures for nearly anything, and what's remaining (eg cancer) we have workable treatments for with reasonable rates of...

I prefer Random.org. :p

This is almost identical to the trolley problem.

This - don't ask me how, I have no clue - made me think of the Hitler Calculator.

This. I think that we should only mess around with biology when it's for the mutual benefit of humanity. Genetic engineering for increased production of crops good. Biological weapons bad.

TBH I think that we should place attempting to help people who need it a little higher on our list of priorities. I say this meaning both physical and mental illnesses. Not going to post a huge line of reasoning until someone contests my POV.

Well, Jord hasn't seen it so while it's an improvement, Jord still sees it as unacceptable because, well, he's Jord. I don't know the exact reason he has a grudge against you. :p

I take the sheet of paper and make it into a card. Person below me gets a "Thread Necromancer" MTG card.

Have you met Jord? :p

Hayflick limit. There is a set limit as to how long humans can live.

Vike for mayor J for death

Eighteen minutes after we're commended on being able to stay nice and civil, this happens. We have come to a conclusion and everyone here seems happy. Could we not resurrect an issue that's been dead for an hour?

The data inside the mod assumes that said mod is the most recent, because there's no point in releasing an update and, in the same post, release another, more recent version. There is no way to find out without checking against a server or - you guessed it - updating!

One question: Is there a way (or will there be) for another mod to grab what needs updating and the severity level of that? That would be a good idea, so that it could be more of a GUI tacked on to the start screen (or whatever the screen with singleplayer/multiplayer/mods/etc is called).

Except the mod needs to check that there's a new version out, and it needs to check the severity of that version (possibly an optional feature). The mod can't tell that a new version is out without comparing against an external server with that data.

There are pros and cons with each. If we expose an API, we require developers to have their own hosting (if we set up the format the correct way, they could just use github pages, but that shouldn't be counted on) to place the data for versions on, and therefore make it harder to get started. If...

Okay, so @King Lemming, what are your thoughts on the idea for a new versionchecker? Please don't hurt me for pinging you. :p

I'm not exactly the most famous of PT members. I doubt that they've even heard of me. :p
