Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didnโ€™t stop to think if they should.

Assuming we donโ€™t also accidentally recreate the viruses that infected those organisms along with attempting to bring back those said organisms.

I think that would require the second type, the third is more likely to bring genetic disorders/immunity problems, which could potentially be spread through cross breeding with similar species. Things like Sickle Cell, weak Hearts, and high Blood Pressure are not contagious viruses, but they are still things you might not want becoming more common within the genre.

Why does that quote look that way?

It seems like the quote is incorrect, it references post post:2073, topic:7198 which hasnโ€™t happened yet (and wonโ€™t until someone replies to me)

Edit: actually looks like the post did happen already, I was looking at the post scrollbar which removes hidden items from it.

It seems like quotes just look like that with the new discourse update as theyโ€™ve probably changed some CSS.

Edit: 2 I removed that one specific CSS rule that was causing the wide avatar in quotes. Iโ€™m not sure what else that will then break. I suppose eventually we need to abandon the current hacked together forum theme and select a new blue/dark theme and recustomize it with the background image and big avatars (if there isnโ€™t a theme like that already).

ima be honest. I donโ€™t like the new css. itโ€™s weird and overly stylized. discouse seems like a very efficient interface and does not need all the little icons. In specific

image this guy

is ugly and distracts from the overall color scheme this site otherwise keeps up. Also the new notification dots are too tall and make that interface less efficient. (these are nitpicks, i donโ€™t care too much)

If you mean the โ€œincorrectโ€ spelling underline, I think the thing is to keep it consistent with itโ€™s other instances which is why it doesnโ€™t necessarily fit discourse.

Probably referring to the new toggle between the rich text editor and plain markdown mode where thereโ€™s the separate preview box.

About it, I think perhaps the preview mode shouldโ€™ve been turned on by default instead of it being disabled since the former is what weโ€™ve been used to for so longโ€ฆ
