Considering what the original seal looks like, it's obvious they've made some changes to simplify the design. But I wouldn't jump to AI, especially since the fabric it's printed on is distorted.

Casting an Arcane Spell in Armor: A character who casts an arcane spell while wearing armor must usually make an arcane spell failure check. The number in the Arcane Spell Failure Chance column on Table 6–6 is the percentage chance that the spell fails and is ruined. If the spell lacks a somatic component, however, it can be cast with no chance of arcane spell failure.

It was a rule in Pathfinder, so presumably it was a rule in 3e.

Temperature records from thermometers and weather stations exist only for a tiny portion of our planet's 4.54-billion-year-long life. By studying indirect clues—the chemical and structural signatures of rocks, fossils, and crystals, ocean sediments, fossilized reefs, tree rings, and ice cores—however, scientists can infer past temperatures.

From your source

June 2024 was the hottest June on record, the European Union's climate change monitoring service said on July 8, continuing a streak of exceptional temperatures that some scientists said puts 2024 on track to be the world's hottest recorded year.

From the article

We don't exactly have records from millions or billions of years ago, so I don't know why you think this article is lying to you.

If I'm reading this chart correctly, each penny is only 2.5% copper.

So what does it mean for children on vegan and vegetarian diets?

This doesn’t mean every child who follows these diets is going to have these nutritional and health benefits or problems. And we also can’t say whether these problems will persist into adulthood.

But it does highlight potential risks which health practitioners and parents need to be aware of. And it’s a reminder to either find suitable replacements that align with the family’s diet philosophy, or prescribe supplements if a deficiency is diagnosed through a blood test.

In particular, parents and caregivers need to be careful their children are maintaining a good intake of protein from a variety of vegan sources (beans, lentils, nuts) and calcium (from calcium supplemented plant milks).

Whether you’re following a vegan, vegetarian or meat-eating diet, you still need to make sure the diet is balanced across all food groups.

I get it might not be easy, especially if you're just starting out, but "hardest possible thing to do safely" seems like a stretch.

Then why are you here, trying to start arguments?

'My personal health has declined to the point where I really need to start taking care of it. Throughout the entire project, we haven't shared it with you, but I've been in and out of the doctor's office.'

From the article. He was going to a doctor throughout the entire "experiment".

Unless I'm mistaken, they're talking about Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984)

I do find it interesting that creatures being themselves is more problematic than all of the murder, torture, abuse and pain the characters experience.

I don't even know what you're referring to here. Are you thinking that the abuse the house elves are subjected to is not as bad as them "wanting" to be enslaved?

as long as the story gives something to think about, im happy with it.

I'm not convinced. You don't seem to really want to think about the story. We're shown, very clearly, that at least some of the elves want to be free, but the very next time they're brought up we're told "no, elves were born to be slaves. Slavery is their natural state, don't question it or try to change anything," which just might be more indicative of the author injecting her worldview than a good point about respecting others' cultures.

In conclusion: im a white male slave apologist and i should be cancelled. oh and i probably support trump too. i must be really dumb and brainwashed if i enjoy a book about wizards with a character named “Cho Chang” or whatever else is in your videos.

Your persecution fetish is showing.

[Hermione] explained the Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare to a bemused Ron and Harry, saying that when they joined, the society will have three members. Ron protested that the House-elves are happy as they are, but eventually joins.

Hermione managed to get several students, such as Neville Longbottom, to join (paying a fee of two Sickles), though they only did so to stop her from badgering them. These students included a reluctant Ron Weasley (who thought S.P.E.W was a joke because its name reminded him of gagging) and an indifferent Harry Potter.

She also offered it to Hagrid, but he refused as well, saying that the elves liked to work. Fred and George Weasley also put in that the house elves were happy to work at Hogwarts.

Becoming infuriated with Hermione's "obsession" with the Society, Ron Weasley started calling the group "spew" and, on occasion parodied the name by inventing S.P.U.G., "Society for the Protection of Ugly Goblins". Hermione angrily replied to this by pointing out that goblins, unlike house-elves, were capable of defending themselves against wizards on their own.

Around 28 June 2011, when a Hogwarts student noticed a S.P.E.W. badge amidst Winky's stuff, Winky explained the organisation to them and how house-elves should be ashamed of it.

Taken from the wiki. The house elves were seen as happy to be slaves, and any attempt to free them was both unnatural and misguided. If you're looking for a more in-depth review of why the Harry Potter series was problematic, Shaun made a video about it about a year ago, and he actually (re)read the books before talking about it, unlike you or I. The section on slavery begins at 37:47.
