Given its scarcity, helium should be more expensive, to the point where filling party balloons with it is decadent profligacy.

The photos of flowers and Star Trek dad jokes cancel out the sense of doom.

That’s like some kid in the 90s discovering their dad was Dean Martin or someone. If any of their peers know who Dave Grohl is they’d just know that that’s some old rocker their parents liked.

The Posadists answer this question by asserting that any advanced alien civilisation will have developed Full Communism, in which case the Space Comrades can teach it to humanity.

It’s not implausible that, among the enzymes in cat saliva, there are some which evolved to maintain the condition of the cat’s coat.

Is each Steam Deck counted as a desktop Linux machine whether or not it is ever used as one?

Quite bold of them to assume crocodiles can read

That’s for the teachers

“Hand-written assembly” is not more powerful than any other Turing-complete language (including Perl and Python), just more painfully slow and prone to human error to write. (Perhaps if you have a special case requiring speed (such as the processing being done in a tight loop in a financial trading app and the results needing to beat rival trading systems by milliseconds or something equally esoteric), it’d make sense, but in that case, a modern compiler (for, say, C/C++/Rust or similar) would yield comparable results, and if a lot is riding on those milliseconds, you’d eschew code and build a FPGA that pulls the data out of memory buffers in hardware or similar.)

So these days, the only use case for hand-writing assembly language (other than low-level OS/firmware programming or compiler development) is performative Feats Of Strength, where the challenge is the point. And in that case, you’d be trying to do something heroically challenging, like writing an Atari 2600 demake of Baldur’s Gate or something.

And, all those years later, you’re still married
