Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some gaming skills that could translate to real life?
41·2 years agoTrue story. Am a controls engineer. I program stuff like the production processes for pharmaceuticals, F&B, etc.
I come from a time where most games were single player you couldn’t pay to win. Not all games had cheat codes.
What we did have were memory/hex editors, game files, .ini stuff.
With what little instructions you could find online, you had to dig around and figure out where to find stuff and how to edit them so you got unlimited gold or super powerful equipment, etc and not crash the game at the same time.
Little did I know, this built my foundations for controls programming and troubleshooting. There are so many parallels like using memory editors is so similar to our debugging software where we want to find individual parameters that aren’t behaving or communicating properly.

The first result you get on google is a dead singer. Every other search you will have him on the front page instead of what you’re trying to find. Contrast this to searching for something from reddit.

88·2 years agoI can’t understand why every other fediverse name is so stupid as to be off putting to the average user.
Built a thousand bridges, no one called me the bridge building guy,
Paved a thousand roads, no one called me the road paving guy.

Great. That was usefully specific.

6·2 years agoMinor addition:
In Europe, to make drinks like beer you had to boil the mash, which unknown to them sterilized the water, which made beer generally safe to drink.
In east asia, as you mentioned tea was a common drink. But before that there were numerous herbal remedies that had to be boiled and served hot as well. People who drank the herbal remedies got better (mainly because hydration and clean drinking water are important factors for well being). Other than attributing the recovery to just the herbs, they also attributed it to the temperature.
So lacking tea or herbal drinks, the ancient chinese believed drinking hot water was somehow beneficial to the body. Add that to the fact that many who drank cold untreated water fell sick, you can easily see how the myth developed.
Another side note. Hot water is expensive (fuel wise) so drinking hot water was a sign your family was comparatively well to do and something a lot of villagers emulated in an attempt to show that the family was well off.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which fictional character's death affected you most?
52·2 years agoPut in there just as a cheap way to get emotional reactions from the audience, it’s the story telling equivalent of having the dog in the story die.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which fictional character's death affected you most?
1·2 years agoJust like Jesus, He didn’t even really die. He went away for a few days and on the third day he rose again so that all may follow him and enjoy everlasting life.

Because most of the time, the reveal immediately results in a magical resolution of decades of behavioral issues stemming from the trauma.
Which never happens in real life. A reveal is a huge step in the healing process but it doesn’t mean the issue goes away. Maybe we cope better, maybe we regress maybe we relapse. But its seldom the clean outcome in the movies.
