In morrowind the dwarves are long gone and are believed to have perhaps “receded behind math”, this npc is I believe the only dwarf you can meet in morrowind that is alive though there are dwarven ruins and automatons across morrowind.

- Comment on Scientists push back on climate myths 5 days ago:
I am glad this exists but is it rational NOT to directly identify the money, specific people, their motivations and the specific processes they use to undermine Science?
In otherwords, is there any Scientific basis for pretending like this struggle for the future of Science is against a nebulous cloud of misinformation and not against oil companies, late stage capitalism and the ruling class?

“We have demonstrated that jawed fishes only became dominant because this event happened,” says senior author Professor Lauren Sallan of the Macroevolution Unit at OIST. “And fundamentally, we have nuanced our understanding of evolution by drawing a line between the fossil record, ecology, and biogeography.”

Because for a variety of reasons the oil and gas markets are way oversupplied and Trump is trying to at least temporarily kick Venezuela out of the supply side to keep prices high.
- Comment on Scientists Discovered a Creature That Breaks a Fundamental Rule of Biology 2 weeks ago:
“Objectively, ambiguity in the genetic code should be deleterious; you end up generating a random pool of proteins,” Dipti Nayak, senior author of the paper from UC Berkeley, said in a press statement. “But biological systems are more ambiguous than we give them credit to be and that ambiguity is actually a feature—it’s not a bug.”
What a beautiful way to restate the fact that genetics are fundamentally a language for it is the same exact mechanism that imbues human language with power.

- Comment on Throw the baby out with the bathwater 2 weeks ago:
Also speaking for the US, aspects of the civil rights movement and other positive political movements have at times been critically dependent on religious organization… and I have no interests in defending organized religion, I don’t consider myself religious but the reality is much more complex than “religion dumb science smart”.
For one, the concept of evolution and then genetics absolutely supercharged racism and honestly Science had little capability to mitigate it. The 20th century may have gone very differently if Scientific leaders had immediately resoundingly rejected eugenics at an ideological level rather than attempt to differentiate what they studied from "race ““science”” in the details. In otherwords, Science was incapable of equipping the followers of its ideology with the systematic tools to resist fascism and oppression whereas you can easily demonstrate various different religious groups that were instrumental in resisting fascism and oppression.
Religion isn’t the point, from a scientific perspective religion is relevant because people imbue it with belief and that should be respected for the reality that creates, the point isn’t that god exists or doesn’t honestly I think no question could be more boring to a true scientist who would know such questions by definition cannot be answered. A true scientist is also driven by a love for the universe that is around them, and ultimately that isn’t too different than someone who is truly religious at the core of the human experience of it.
Organized religions are always two things, the religion itself and the political structure of the religion and in many cases those political structures can be very hostile to Science, but I do not believe inherently so and I do not believe it is a lack of Scientific thinking that allows the political structures of religion to become hostile towards Science since Science cannot even prevent the internal structures it is built upon from becoming hostile to itself.
It is funny that the more you talk about “science” and the more you talk about “religion” the more universally relevant yet irrelevant the words become, the reality always escapes a single word like that…
- Comment on Foreign tech workers spurn US as if it were a rabid dog 2 weeks ago:
Oh believe me I have also seen precarious tall stacks of rocks that manage to stay standing for much longer than you would expect. Usually it is because they are surrounded by a forest of other much more solid formations of rocks.
Sometimes though I see someone waving to me smugly from a precarious stack of rocks amidst a sea of precarious stacks of rocks and I chuckle to myself and wave back condescendingly and then feel guilty about it.

Thus it can be seen how when industries aren’t mitigated in their self defeating behavior by unions, the associated job market and domestic industry can be driven to collapse and there will be zero ability to slow the process down once it begins spiralling.
Unions, even if you are a super smart techbro you still need them.
- Comment on We'll probably never see a Grand Theft Auto set in a futuristic city like GTA 2 because the team "hated it": "People didn’t connect with the game or its city" 2 weeks ago:
I actually really liked the weird scifish city of GTA2 a lot, it has surprising strange vibes.
It clearly wasn’t the developers strength though, they are far better at making cities that are heavily inspired/woven together from chunks of real places.
In my opinion the game that captures GTA 2 vibes best is Skillshot City previously known as Gene Shift Auto.
Gameplay is fast and fun and it is a genuinely good free to play multiplayer game with fast rounds.

Hard disagree, if research findings were more accessible, NOT PAYWALLED, and published with some degree of intent for a wide audience then WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY more people would dabble in reading scientific research and the benefit could have potentially saved science from collapse in my country (the US).

Truly a massive game that gets overshadowed by people talking about Factorio, which Factorio is of course a classic undoubtedly but Mindustry has been in pretty consistent development for years now and is a great game with a lot of good content, it deserves more attention!
I just wish the game was better set up for joysticks/gamepad control out of the box, last time I tried to set it up on my Steam Deck I got frustrated.
Also Mindustry is on Android too!

This NASA page has some really cool simple visualizations of how tides work. They are kind of strange in ways you don’t expect.
Now think about pouring a bucket of water out on a table. It’s easier to slide the water around on the table rather than lift it directly upwards. When the Moon’s gravity pulls at Earth, the water doesn’t float outward, it just gets pushed and squeezed around on the globe, directed by both gravitational pull and other forces, until it ultimately ends up bulging out on the side closest to the Moon and the side farthest away.
I don’t know how to upload gifs to lemmy but check them out on the NASA page they are very satisfying and cool and explain the science wonderfully!
