But you did right to check, for… um, science
- Comment on First Satellites 2 days ago:
I read in another place that Japan was the fourth to launch a satellite in February of 1970, it looks like that other article means ‘launched using their own rocktet’, and Canada launched 8 years earlier than Japan using NASA rocket

I would guess by eating diary, eggs, leather, etc. I heard this take just yesterday, and I can see a point, because most animal industries don’t treat animals well even when it’s not about killing the animal

What you’re saying is B stems from A, and A causes C therefore we can say B causes C. But it is correlation, not causation and a pretty surprising thing to say
- Comment on What was the first game you ever bought ? 1 week ago:
I think, it was Duke Nukem 3D, or Warcraft 2, and I’m pretty sure it was on a pirated CD of 100 in 1 games, but maybe those were later

- Comment on When people recommend Brave browser. 3 weeks ago:
Mind you, I’m not arguing that was crappy, just that not any modification of links is bad
- Comment on When people recommend Brave browser. 3 weeks ago:
As far as I remember, there is some browser with a feature of stripping tracking id from the URL, that is modification, but I find it good (if I can opt in, and if the feature is visible enough to know what to try if it doesn’t work)

I half expected ‘Just like if I’m serving soup, it’s coming with a fork. I just hate spoons’

Easy Delivery Co is a good one, but for me it feels like it doesn’t give you enough freedom to be that.
But yeah, Sam Porter Bridges driving a car from Initial D on Play Station 1 is kinda what it feels like

I didn’t even understand the point that it was a lie, and not the original comment had a lie, reading skill issue

I would say Mads Mikkelsen is a plus, but it’s terrain traversal that should define a genre.

Are you sure the story is real? I can find anything that points to it, so a link would help a lot

Don’t know, I’ve seen swans being total assholes in Finland, in Estonia, in Czechia, so maybe in Germany around Baltic shore they are also not seen as calm
There are a lot of animals that are seen completely not how they are, based on vibes, like wise owls, or cunning snakes, etc

I like the title of the seagull video, that’s very on point

Ah, yeah, I thought it was if we go extinct, not if we never existed

Are they overdue to go extinct somehow?

Yeah, we better think of making some solid gold equipment for tennis
- Comment on it's a long distance relationship 1 month ago:
If this apparent relationship between flares and decay rates proves true, it could lead to a method of predicting solar flares prior to their occurrence
So, can we predict the flares now? I’ve taken a look at Ephraim Fischbach’s articles and it seems that we’re very far from that, so the article you linked is interesting but overstates the facts by a lot. This is what I found the best explanation so far:
Some experiments seem to yield strong evidence of variability of beta-decay rates, but other experiments may show little or no such evidence. Some recent experiments help clarify the situation. In particular, a certain oscillation appears in neutrino measurements made at the Super-Kamiokande Neutrino Observatory and in radon beta-decay measurements made at the Geological Survey of Israel, with identical frequency (9.43 years ⁻¹ ), amplitude and phase, strengthening the case for an influence of neutrinos on beta decays. A review of current experimental information leads us to suggest that 1) beta-decay rates do not change, but 2) the angular distribution of decay products may be anisotropic, and 3) the angular distribution of decay products may be influenced by the ambient neutrino flux. It appears that experiments at standards laboratories tend to be insensitive to direction, and this may be the reason that they tend not to exhibit evidence of variability.
And even this I would take with a grain of salt

The this:
[Author] portrays Shangri-La as a mystical, harmonious valley, gently guided from a lamasery, enclosed in the western end of the Kunlun Mountains. In the novel, the people who live in Shangri-La are almost immortal, living hundreds of years beyond the normal lifespan and only very slowly ageing in appearance

I don’t know, I’ve seen grown ups pissing in the park in Shanghai, not somewhere deep in the bushes but right beside the pavement and buildings. That was not indoors, at least

Which ones?
- Comment on Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam? 2 months ago:
I guess whether this is true or not will be a defining point of the whole lawsuit
- Comment on Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam? 2 months ago:
Some games are region-locked because the localisation is done by building another binary, Fallouts were like that, and some other I can’t remember, maybe it was this
I too am afraid to change region because Valve is very opaque in how they change availability, and there definitely were precedents of games not just being delisted but still available if you have them, but also disappearing completely from you library
- Comment on Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam? 2 months ago:
I expect that no cap on storefront share of the price will be set as a result of this lawsuit or any other.
I also expect that even if Steam reduce their cut to 3%, prices will not get lower, and bankruptcies and lay-offs will go on as usual
Maybe I’m just pessimistic, don’t know
