  Perhaps you could try friend-finding apps such as Bumble BFF? You’re likely to find others there in a similar position to yourself. It also focuses on 1 on 1 which should be a little easier to manage with social anxiety.

  Clubs are a good call. Look into societies at your university, find something that you’re interested in or think you could be interested in. Societies are social in a way that seminars and other course activities are not. Don’t worry if you don’t “click” with anyone immediately, keep attending and do your best to engage in conversations.

  I also recommend seeking out a university counsellor. Most universities will have them and their advice can be valuable.

  I doubt this is AI. This looks right for a micro-CT angiograph.

  The blood vessels will have X-ray opaque dye injected, so they stand out on the CT. You can then set a threshold in the visualization software to filter out other tissue. The software then uses an algorithm to apply some shading to the surfaces of the unfiltered tissue to create a 3D effect.

  The red colouring is a choice of the user, it just colours darker parts red and fades out to transparency.

  Offworld Trading Company. Haven’t played the game but it’s a great sci-fi soundtrack by Christopher Tin of Civ IV fame.

  There are companies trying to bring airships back. The Airlander 10 is expected to be flying flights over Spain in 2026.

  I just started playing MGS for the first time! When I was a kid MGS was one of those “grown up” games I couldn’t play. I picked up a copy from a retro game store a few weeks ago and finally sat down to play at the weekend. I see what all the hype is about, it’s like diving into a 90s espionage thriller. Looking forward to playing further!
