Jokes’s on Harry, by the time he revives Hermione, the difference in maturity level will make a continued friendship impossible.

This also bothered me- no matter what reasoning I read here, I’ll still regard this scene in the same light as the now removed scene where Harry Potter walks up to the Sorting Ceremony while the Weasley Twins play the freaking Ghost Busters theme.
Jugson refused to support Malfoy, if I recall.
Not in this one. In the earlier chapters it’s narrated that the twins have been selling prank goods at 0% mark-up, unknown to their supplier.
It may also help to consider that my interpretation of OI seems to imply that murder is not wrong, which is quite an odd result.
I find Boltzmann Brains to be more of an unconvincing thought experiment than an actual possibility.
Since I also believe most potential conscious moments are bizarre and painful, that worries me.
Is this concern altruistic/compassionate?
Moral in this case is the adjective that labels the set of all actions that could be Right or Wrong. In turn, Right is the set of all actions that cause warmth, benign camaraderie and relief of negative emotions, and Wrong is the set of all actions that cause alienation and other suffering, as well as the extinguishment of warmth and benign camaraderie.
The reason fusion would have no such Right or Wrong consequence is that since there is only one person in the universe, there is no one who would be destroyed in such a process. Indeed, since no one has disappeared, nothing about the process will be alienating or frightening. The entire theory can serve as a solution to fusion and fission problems, though I suppose making everyone a p-zombie could also do that.
Your definition is good, and I’m having a hard time tabooing the word person, so what if I tried making a prediction?
If Open Individualism is true, then there is no moral consequence of fission or fusion, and nothing remarkable about such a process.
Currently learning Java by-the-book from “Starting Out With Java: From Control Structures Through Data Structures” second edition. It’s a remarkable book, unlike any of the ones I tried reading before. It explains every minutiae of the example code and leaves very little to the imagination, except for when it has the courtesy to explicitly tell the reader to ignore it for the time being, something that a lot of guides fail to do. This somewhat pads the book out when it explains when a method-call has occurred two chapters after method-calls were explained (it’s 1300 pages long), but the reinforcement is greatly appreciated and I actually saved time by not fumbling around wondering how the heck dealershipOne.getCar(“Pinto”).setYear(dealershipOne.getPolicy().getYear()) worked, even though I technically knew how argument passing and dot operators worked. The pages on which the exercises are printed are even differently coloured from the rest of the book, its structure apparent at the cosmetic level.
I’ve decided to accumulate the knowledge from to back, because I find I’m too fidgety and impatient when I try to pick and choose chapters, and have gotten through about 50 pages in the last 3 days. I’d recommend it for the textbook thread, but I found other textbooks too unbearable to read past the first chapter , so I’m not technically qualified.
Did you perhaps blend them?
No, I ate them totally raw of processing or additives.
Think I’ll wash that down with a hot steaming cup of gallium.
I ate a bowl of nails for breakfast this morning!
It took me 3 months to realize that I completely failed to inquire about your second friend. I must have seen him as having the lesser problem and dismissed it out of hand, without realizing that acknowledging the perceived ease of a problem isn’t the same as actually solving it, like putting off easy homework.
How is your second friend turning out?
I think small donors should also state their donations amounts of 50-100 dollars. Having counted the medium and large donations in this thread to a rough total of 11,000 dollars, it seems unlikely that the goal is being reached with just those, and I have a feeling there will be some sort of “breaking the ice” effect if small donors chirped up about their chip ins, so to speak. Right now the number of medium and large donors represented in this thread eclipses the smalls.

I found this to be slightly unsettling when I realized it, though we may be talking about different things.
Paycheck came in, donated the 700!
...without any milk.
I grinned at how the two at the bottom seem to have donated just enough to be mentioned.
Quixey hasn’t been able to pump in as much as I expected though.
