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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Being vegan is unnatural"⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Are they overdue to go extinct somehow?

  Yeah, we better think of making some solid gold equipment for tennis

  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

  It doesn’t render in the font I’m using, seems to be too far into extended unicode, but that’s still cool, thanks

• ⁨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?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Imagine looking at the first picture and thinking thats something to be proud of , lol, its mental illness⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, it’s probably ‘meta-joke’ or something. It’s shitpost, after all

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Imagine looking at the first picture and thinking thats something to be proud of , lol, its mental illness⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a wild take

  Tangentially related, but I find it weird how in Chinese written pronouns include gender, but since they sound the same the information is lost in speech

  You should also ask them how they feel when their body cools down ‘a bit’ to 32°C

  I don’t know, we need a medievalist here

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I thought life was hard but sustainable mostly, turns out one was always at risk of extinction:

  Medieval villagers were often living on the edge of subsistence. Agricultural surpluses were skimmed by the church and the feudal lords. Bad harvests, banditry, warfare and disease might decimate a village community at any time. For this very reason, the demography of many European villages remained relatively stable between the twelfth and the eighteenth century.

  Yeah, I eventually found a Wikipedia page about Amazon Game Studios, they still exist and make games, and it looks like they only make mediocre stuff even when they have chances to make something interesting (like King of Meat, that seems to be a well received game, but has awful name, is too pricey, and is almost unknown, making the online too small)

  It seems that you can’t invoke your rights pre-Miranda and before arrest, as seen in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salinas_v._Texas

  I don’t know how that works specifically, but I expect nobody will allow you more your rights whenever they can
