In the show, gems are asexual, non gendered. They just use female pronouns for convenience.

They never really covered reproduction in depth, except that they're crystals grown in rock substrate. They're closer to computer than biological.

They'll still have to pay the tariff when crossing the border back to the USA, unless they want to risk smuggling it.

Honestly doesn't sound like a terrible idea on paper, but this spam outbreak could kill it before it gets off paper in a real way. Giving devs a bad taste will stay around a long while.

Edit: and of course the well-earned general attitude toward cryptocurrency as scammer playgrounds is automatically putting it way in the red too.

These things should absolutely scream on Linux. Looking forward to playing with it. Windows hasn't historically done all that well with non-x86 chipsets out of the gate.

Thr second is already a metric SI unit. A day happens to be 86.4 kiloseconds. I'm not sure why that is weird.

Redefining the second would be a lot of work for no real benefit.

Hours, days, weeks are not metric, you wouldn't really say kiloday or centiday.

They threw away their negotiation position when they left the EU, and now they're complaining that they have no leverage? Hah.

Whiteness is arbitrary and can be withdrawn pretty fast. That's part of the problem, white isn't a race, it's an ingroup.

Ask a Catholic how quickly they can be exempted from white club.
