Punch-hole, which I don't mind. I actually think it stands out from the common teardrop design. And there are settings options which obscure the thing with a black bar for when you want to watch full-screen videos.

Galaxy S9+ is currently going for INR 27000, about AUD 560. But it's on Amazon only. I have no intention of purchasing from an online vendor. I'm going to a showroom. Also, the A51 has better cameras than the S9 family. Also, it's only the 4 GB RAM version and I am not a fan of the S9 display design.

Go and share with Joji your body warmth

Someone fucked up.

That is either tolerable or deadly depending on whether this is Fahrenheit or Celsius.

It was indeed of lower quality, but it was not terrible.

You're right. Smilodon came after Thylacosmilus. So it would be more apt to say that Smilodon hopped on the Thylacosmilus body plan, than the other way around.

Anyway...

Within a certain order there are only certain body plans that are fit for certain lifestyles. There are only certain skull designs that are fit for certain tasks, only certain body plans fit for ambush hunting or long distance pursuit. So when two distantly related or unrelated families adopt nearly identical lifestyles and even behaviours, they can end up looking similar outwardly or evolving similar key characteristics independently of one another.

One excellent modern example is New World Vultures.

The new world vultures of North and South America are not closely related to the old world vultures of Africa, Europe, Asia (which are actually in the Eagle family). But they are both birds that evolved to do the same thing. So they ended up with the same body plan. And this is despite the two groups never having encountered each other.

This is why convergent evolution is so fascinating. Two animals separated by genetics and time and/or place happening upon the same body plan because of similar evolutionary pressures.

Then you have dolphins. They evolved body plans similar to sharks despite being mammals because that was seemingly the best design to get around in the water at high speed for a vertebrate. Hell, we mammals are more closely related to the Coelacanth than we are to sharks, which makes the convergent evolution of sharks and dolphins all the more fascinating.

Convergent Evolution: Because only certain body plans are suitable for certain lifestyles.

Depends on the build quality and wood used, any artistic flourishes you asked for, and the quality of the cushions. Can be anywhere from INR 10000 to 50000 (USD 140 to 700).

This week, in shit parenting.

GSM Arena reviewed the Galaxy A71. They have high praise for the thing. It appears to be a damn good all-rounder and a jack-of-all-trades within its class.

Go to Display settings and Hide Notch. You lose a few millimetres on a massive 6.7 inch display.

Wait, I thought they were literally manufactured like that. Like, it cut into the screen.

That is correct. The hide notch option puts two black bars at the top of the display on both sides of the punch hole, effectively camouflaging the punch hole and not letting it get in the way of your display. On an AMOLED, this can actually boost battery life a bit, since those black bars consist of deactivated pixels.

Under display selfie cams, which don't poke out of the display, are something Nokia and Huawei are trying for. Nokia supposedly may have one on their 8.2 (but take it with a punch of salt).

Didn't know you could do that. I'd do that 100%.

The funniest bit is that many of the beef plants in UP and Maharashtra were owned by BJP politicians.

4 kg house cat or 250 kg tiger. A cat is still a cat.

^ I love how this one has an adorable pleading look on its face.

Wild cats and dogs are better than us, apparently.

A man of science being ignored until it's too late and disaster has already struck.

This is straight out of a cheesy Hollywood movie.

Not just the Arab world. The root cause of Islamic extremism in the world today is the Saudi regime exporting Wahhabism the world over.

Seriously, **** the Saudi royal family.

What fruit is that?

Hello there

It's actually good? Like not just "meh, okay" but actually good?

Have fun, little muffin.

I relate all too much to Q in this scene.

Goodnight, chair-sama +.+
