Hey, I’m not even 40 and I remember getting to check out the cockpit of a plane multiple times. And the brown glass ashtrays at McDonalds.

It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not weakness, that is life.

It’s the Doom Eternal version of a Mancubus

X-rays, or as I like to call them: super extra ultra UV.

There’s an excellent drink made from port, sugar, chocolate and flour, which is basically undrinkably thick when not warmed.

But I’ve always considered Kanar to be a sort of eggnog

Also, sheep are incredibly cuddly, and will happily follow you the whole day just to get more head scritches

I once sat a bar, having a drunk chat with a guy, who went from your basic “you know what would fix the world? Fluffier dogs!” type talk into “you straight women have it easy, you never have to control yourself when there’s some sexy 14 year old chick around”.

I was far too drunk to give him the proper reaction, but I wasn’t nearly too drunk to get the fuck out.

When I did my PhD, I was chatting with another PhD student there. I told him I went to a museum where they had a really cool lineup of all the early hominids, all the way back to Lucy.

And he said something like “why would you care about all those deformed humans?” So I went “no, I mean, the proto humans, before they evolved into homo sapiens”. I laughed and said “aren’t you too smart to believe in evolution?”

So yeah, you don’t have to be stupid to be an idiot.

Looks like Morrowind, or an earlier Elder scrolls. You can make, and name, your own custom classes.

Generally it’s silver reacting with (trace) amounts of sulfur containing gasses in the air to form silver sulfide.

Silver sulfide isn’t blue, but the colours, and especially the multiple hues are caused by thin-film interference. That’s the same effect that gives soap bubbles that shifting multi-colour effects.

The only way to remove it, is by grinding off a tiny bit of material, which is what you do when you polish it. The tarnish doesn’t go further than the surface layer, so it’s actually a pretty amazing way to preserve the metal.

Fun fact: if you ever want to make silver look old, put it in a closed box or bag with a hard boiled (or rotten, but I suggest boiled) egg. Those are high in sulfur compounds and will add months of tarnish in minutes.

Thanks ChatGPT!

I’ve never seen a YSK that explained so very little.

My dude, nobody outside of a very small niche knows what any of these words mean.

Honestly, “adult” is something you should do, not something you should be.

And LOTs of people are shit at it. Especially the ones who claim otherwise.

Also, live-service games endeavour to stay relevant forever.

For, say, God of War, you’ll eventually be done with it. You’ve played all the things, you put the box on the shelve and move on to another game. But for these forever-games, you can play them forever.

And that means that if you want to launch a game in that market, you can’t rely on getting players who just put down God of War and want something roughly similar. You need to not only be better than Fortnite, but you need to be sufficiently better than people will abandon years of investement into Fortnite to go play your game.

The barrier to entry is HUGE, and it’s made much worse by the idea that the new game might dissapear, meaning you wasted months (or, occasionally, days, lol).

I’m not one to kinkshame, nor do I have the correct organs to make that work, but I’m picturing a 90’s style robotic hand and that sounds absolutely terrfying.

Neuralink is actualy WAY behind the current state of art. What they’re doing with terrifyingly fragile brain implants, other companies can do with a skulcap that doesn’t involve snapping off bits of metal in your brain.

Honestly, it looks like janky shit. That CSS looks like some moron cobbled it together.

Say, on a related subject, is it possible to not just block the .ml instance but also every user from there?

No I mean, it’s very hard to APA style talking.

What like… In conversation?
