Cockroach is not the scientific name for them. It’s the common name. Most roaches are part of the Blattodea order together with termites. The common name came about in the early 17th century (as cacaroch ): from Spanish cucaracha . The spelling change was due to association with cock and roach.(according to Wikipedia).
Depending on where you live there are different species of what is considered the common/house cockroach: The most common are: Blatella Germanica (German Cockroach), Periplaneta Americana (American Cockroach), Periplaneta Australasiae (Australian cockroach) and Blatta orientalis (Oriental Cockroach).

It’s exactly what I was thinking. They should let the AI build a spaceship and all get into it. Would be the greatest achievement in humans history… when it blows up and kills all of them.
- Comment on I self hosted a World of Warcraft server. 3 weeks ago:
I did it like 10 or so years back? It was pretty easy to be completely honest and didn’t require too many resources, at least not if you’re the only one using the server. You just run the server locally and then use the client to connect to that server. That’s basically it.
And no, the game comes with all the quests and everything, you don’t need to really do anything else. The downsides is that you’ll be locked out of a bunch of content like dungeons and raids since those require groups of 5 or more players.

The North Sentinel people are not actually fully isolated. They had contact with colonial authorities in the past (the British went on the island and even kidnapped some of the locals they found, an elderly couple and 4 kids. The couple died not soon after and the kids were sent back) and there was some peaceful contact with Indian anthropologists up until 1997. The 2004 earthquake and tsunami affected the island pretty badly and disturbed their fishing grounds but aerial survey of the island confirmed they survived and adapted to their new conditions. Most contact after that has been met with aggression most theories I heard about why assume it’s because of contact people fishing illegally in the area or an epidemic on the island after one such contact.
The Indian government considers it illegal to contact them and will punish anyone who does it. That one American preacher that landed on the a while back was eventually killed by the locals and his death was ruled a murder but the Indian government didn’t push for anyone to be prosecuted. The US government also didn’t push for prosecution. So yea the Indian government wants them to be left alone.
My personal take on this is that if the North Sentinel Islanders wanted to be in contact with the rest of the world they could. They are not very far from other Andaman islands and they could build a raft or a canoe that could reach them. The fact they haven’t done so means they don’t wish to be in contact with other people. It’s their choice to be isolated and it should be respected.
- Comment on Russian Internet users are unable to access the open Internet 5 weeks ago:
This seems to be originating at the ISP level so it will only affect Russians. Should be fine for someone connecting from the outside.

If you say that you have no social media accounts they will probably assume you’re lying and deny you.

Yep, here’s a US government source.
- Comment on Roblox Accused Of Allowing Sexual Exploitation In Four Separate Lawsuits 1 month ago:
Yeah you can.
If the inappropriate content was reported as such and they took no action then that means they allowed it. They knew about it, due to the reports, and did nothing.
- Comment on make fantasy great again! 1 month ago:
Conspiracy theorists don’t have the imagination to write fantasy literature. They can’t account for the inconsistencies in their theories and 99% of the time the reason they give for why a certain thing is the way it is amounts to: “the Jews did it”.

Is anyone going to stop him? No? Then he can extend it as many times as he wants.

But it’s golden and has a convicted felon’s name on it. That should make up for the rest of the value right?
- Comment on “Piracy is Piracy” – Disney and Universal team up to sue Midjourney 1 month ago:
Artists doing fan art are infringing copyright, yes. If the fan art meets the fair use criteria then they are not Infringing.
Companies usually overlook the infringement from fan artists because it’s free advertising and the public backlash is not worth going after lone artists. They usually will go after fan art of people that profit off their fan art.

They didn’t get 100k players. The players they got counted multiple times. Someone got swallowed one but Bobby got swallowed 35 times because he’s a dumbass. That counts a 36 people getting swallowed.
- Comment on N the digital age, it's going to be harder for ICE agents to hide their identities than it was for Nazis trying to evade justice post WW2. 3 months ago:
They can just scrub everything before they lose power. Remind me what happened with the phones of the Secret Service when they were investigating Trump?
They are using Signal as we’ve seen with Leaky Pete. Signal deletes all the info automatically after some time. Since it’s an end to end encrypted messaging app nobody can recover those messages. Not even Signal themselves. Who’s to say they aren’t using in other instances as well.
And finally, Trump can pardon the lot of them and they will never see justice.

Well now the Chinese and Russians just need to get a way into Shartlink and they can also monitor you and your government.

For a non-joke answer. ERP in this context means Enterprise Resource Planning. It basically allows you to do everything an enterprise requires with one software system instead of using several different ones.
