Many sea stars begin life as young fairy-like creature (called a brachiolaria) that float through the open ocean. Eventually, a small star forms within them (here in yellow). The fairy-like brachiolaria sinks under the star’s weight, and the star pops out!

I hate windows 11 and copilot 😑 there I said it. Medical data is extremely sensitive and not being able to be sure that copilot is not screen capturing a pc is a major security concern. Microsoft did not think about this at all. Or maybe they did and we’re on “big brother is watching you world” 🤦♀️
