I still like FF12, although I’ve never beaten it. I had no idea people disliked it.

Of course! I’m a biologist, I try to use my powers for good.

Functional changes in coloration are much “easier” (read: more likely) to develop through random mutation than functional changes to complex mechanical structures like bone structure or musculature. Given their predecessors were already under selective pressure by predation for millions of years prior, it’s reasonable to assume they’d developed countershading (light bottom, dark top). Plus current agnathans are usually pretty dull.

Definitely. The minimum infective dose is around 10-100 million CFUs.
- Comment on ‘One day I overheard my boss saying: just put it in ChatGPT’: the workers who lost their jobs to AI 2 weeks ago:
I just had a guy in his early thirties gush at great length about making AI “art” and “music”, literally right after talking about how he highly values artistic creation. It was gross.
- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 2 weeks ago:
My partner and I have surprisingly little in common when it comes to interests. I like a lot of nerd stuff: homelab, 3d printing, robotics, brewing, welding, woodworking, sci-fi, etc. They like not nerd stuff: copaganda shows, murder porn (podcasts and documentaries), dog training, cooking, etc. I like metal, they like jangly indie, we both like punk. We both love cats.
We also both hate small talk, so we only discuss what we find to be pertinent or interesting. Since we have a lot of individual interests, we actually have a lot to talk about. We just had a really great conversation on using Docker or a VM to circumvent some silly online testing issues.

It’s really the best. Those three days are completely useless for anything other than work, though.

That’s a really thoughtful take, I’m glad you shared. I think it has merit. I think proximity is a factor too. The public rarely gets up close to a jet, but I can attest from personal experience they seem much faster when you’re closer during takeoff and landing.

Paracetamol?! Not only would that be largely ineffective at preventing pain, it takes 30-60 minutes to start working. The incompetence astounds.

I just love the feeling of when it stretches.

Why don’t we just cut to the chase and have Brandon Sanderson finish it already?

We do, but I didn’t even know they existed before this incident. I’ve luckily had few dental issues.

Red aggro nailed it. There’s a gap at the gum line between my remaining tooth and the crown, leaving exposed dentin.
- Comment on doctors 5 weeks ago:
I had a dentist give me an unnecessary and they didn’t even do it right. I’m still pretty salty about it.

Same, there’s not enough money in the world to entice me to deal with hormone fueled insanity again. I occasionally take a round of corticosteroids and they return just a fraction of that emotional volatility. No, just no.

I always laugh when anyone seriously refers to Trump as a “man’s man”. He’s so pathetic and weak. Is that now America’s idea of masculinity?

I engaged in the “affair tolerant monogamy” variant when I was younger. I discovered there’s a positive curvilinear relationship between amount of drama and number of romantic partners. I am sometimes barely able to handle my own incidental drama, so it didn’t last more than a few years.

I have no concerns if he wants to force feed himself grain mash in the privacy of his own home. I draw the line at involving innocent waterfowl, though.

I can’t believe this shit. 2023 me wouldn’t believe I’d be doing half of the things I’m doing now.

- Comment on Anon uses Windows 1 month ago:
Your comment nailed it. I just switched a couple of weeks back and it really wasn’t awful. There is a bit of a learning curve, mostly around setting up your system the way you want it, but there are so many good text and video tutorials available.
Now I have a system that just works, has improved my laptop’s battery life by over 20% (the fan is no longer cranking the whole time it’s on), and actually has greater functionality than when I was on Windows without all the shit I don’t want.
- Comment on Project to suck carbon out of sea begins in UK 2 months ago:
The water just dilutes back into the rest of the ocean, lowering its average carbon content a minuscule amount. It’ll take a year or less for it to reabsorb as much atmospheric CO2 as was removed. This isn’t a big deal unless it’s done at massive scale in concentrated areas.
An “easy” way to handle this is to return the water to the deep ocean, where it’s less impactful to ocean life and has a much larger area in which to dilute.
