I don't argue with most of your conclusions here, but language can shape how we think. As one example, for languages that have more regular number words (12 = 1 10 2, for instance) the children can learn how to count to 100 much earlier - and this can factor into math understanding.

The stereotype of this would be the Asian maths wizard, but this holds true for a number of other languages, including Welsh and Tamil. (source1 DOI: 10.1080/0951508080228551 , Source2 DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2015.00266 )

Wookies have an average lifespan of around 400 years, so the child-to-adult ratio will of course be lower. Litter births are still possible, they just would happen not very often. Because of the sudden load of 6 or more children (say once a decade), it is also likely that the Wookies practice more communal child-rearing than the human nuclear family model, leading to children the same age being dispersed widely (perhaps across the planet). This also helps with genetic diversity, since wookies growing up locally with similar ages are less likely to be related.

Should put some nice chamfers and radii on the edges, you use the edge of an anvil a fair but, and being able to select a radius, chamfer, or square edge is nice.

My uncle's a uni professor. First assignment last semester was writing a paper specifically using ChatGPT, and seeing how much work you had to do to fact-check it and make an actual paper.

I think it's because it's an unapologetic vertical mouse. Most others are just slanted mice. Note that the furst couple days might be slow because you have to adjust to using your arm that way. I got this one in uni because my wrist just didn't like being flat, and I used computers a lot. This one matches my resting position really well, and the wrist rest means I'm not sliding the side of my hand all over the desk.
