The late, great, DNA:
The History of every major Galactic Civilization tends to pass through three distinct and recognizable phases, those of Survival, Inquiry and Sophistication, otherwise known as the How, Why, and Where phases. For instance, the first phase is characterized by the question 'How can we eat?' the second by the question 'Why do we eat?' and the third by the question 'Where shall we have lunch?

The fourth and most important question: Who is paying for lunch?

Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

What if there IS such a thing as a free lunch somewhere out there in warped space?

There probably is. And just like here, those eating it would be the product.

It turns out that the space-time continuum is not merely curved, it is in fact totally bent.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

2B | !2B should trigger a couple compiler diagnostics, one that you're using an invalid variable name (at least according to all right-thinking languages), and two, you're mixing logical operators and bit-wise operators in the same expression (assuming a C-derived universe, of course).

I know that true journalists always try to answer the "what, where, why, who and how" but someone should tell @SanderRossel and @Super-Lloyd that the message of @ZurdoDev was neither "how" nor "who"

I'll go get my coat

EDIT: Ok... someone should tell @Marc-Clifton too.... he was probably composing the message when I posted mine... Roll eyes | :rolleyes:
