A "daemon" is a general English term for a process that is meant to run forever in the background, without access to a display terminal. Threads are subcomponents of processes. It is not possible to run as an isolated "thread". Every process contains at least one thread, but can contain more if programmed correctly. Threaded programming typically is done so that a master or "manager" thread listens for an indication of incoming work to be done, and then dispatches this work to a new "worker" thread to handle the work, freeing the manager thread to listen for more incoming work.

How does the process of evaporation work, and can water evaporate under certain conditions?

Evaporation is the process in which water molecules at the surface of a liquid gain enough energy to escape into the air as vapor. This occurs when the temperature of the liquid is high enough and there is enough air movement to carry the vapor away. Water can evaporate under certain conditions such as high temperatures, low humidity, and exposure to air movement.

Why is photorespiration wastful process?

Photorespiration is considered wasteful because it consumes energy and resources without producing useful compounds for the plant. It occurs when rubisco enzyme fixes oxygen instead of carbon dioxide, leading to the release of CO2 and consumption of ATP and reducing power. This process reduces the efficiency of photosynthesis and can limit plant growth in certain conditions.


Are Slaanesh Daemons good?

This question is very vague. As a Warhammer army, like any, they are only as good as the commander commanding them. Each army can win and lose, just depending on how they are fielded. On the other hand, going for the more literal interpretation of the question, no, Slaanesh Daemons are not good. In fact, they're rather evil. They seek to further Chaos by appealing to the lust in Mankind, and destroying their minds in the process.
