In a roundabout way, you could argue both were factors.
Twitter’s echo chamber becoming cacophonous with spite and worse means less people visiting the site, and refusal to support the site would be a better look, but that pr move might be easier on the corporate wallet as well.
That being said, I question how that applies in this context. Corporate leadership doesn’t exactly strike me as trustworthy nor worthy of mercy, although that could be a lean toward cynicism on my part.
So, let’s say there’s a species of bacteria that is known to dwell in Greek yogurt. How long would it take before that species of yogurt-dweller only has modern descendants different enough to qualify as one or more new species?
I’m tempted to start making oddly specific small statues made of random materials, maybe with limbs pointing to the previous statue in a sequence. Is there a better method?
When I say “fake fireplace”, I mean something like those structures fueled by fossil methane that produce flame and heat but obviously don’t burn actual wood
No, that still probably wouldn’t work out, as the other comments have pointed out. Just clarifying that the dangerous aspects of what I asked wouldn’t involve uranium in particular.
Yeah, maybe it would make more sense to just hook up an electrical mimic-fireplace to a fusion reactor’s electrical output, than to use the actual helium plasma exhaust to mimic flames, come to think of it.
Just as an example, there were evidently reports during the 2007 Glasgow airport attack that someone attempting to subdue the assailant and assist police kicked said attacker in the testicles… but somehow managed to do so hard enough to injure one of their own foot tendons.
I haven’t actually seen this being used, but since Hypnotic Pattern in DND5E can require a stick of incense as a component if you’re using spell components, I imagined someone casting that by twirling a thurible (incense burner on a chain) above their head, and somehow physically throwing the scent into the targeted area, and then a (mostly) harmless explosion of colorful, sparkly gas charms any affected targets through sheer fascination.
Yeah, you could easily reflavor component-requiring Animal Friendship as “just feeding the animal and somehow flawlessly avoiding harm”, just to make it ambiguous whether this is actually magic or just mundane.

Helldivers 2 reviews start to improve after Sony backs down from enforcing PSN account linking (programming.dev)
Do we have any estimates as to how long it takes for a species of bacteria to go technically extinct entirely via genetic drift?

Here are a few discord comments about the situation from the Helldivers 2 discord:...
How would you go about determining where you’ve already been in 1.20 caves?

If nuclear fusion were to become useful for residential heating, could the plasma be useful for fake fireplaces?

Do we have any theories as to why complex life eventually started requiring various metal elements as micronutrients?
For example, why did zinc, of all things, start getting utilized by brain and prostate tissue in humans?
How do some animals (or at least humans) manage to generate more force than their own muscles are rated to handle?

Would the frame/stockiness of a Neanderthal be a better fit for high-gravity conditions than a modern human?
Do we know whether Australian magpies have similar intelligence to true corvids?

Do we know of a means by which artificial nuclear fusion could be used to mimic stellar carbon-12 production?
