It’s less bleeding and more leaking, computers don’t normally have liquids except for heat mitigation and what’s with the stake and rope?
- Comment on What's the deal with breakfast in bed? 6 days ago:
I imagine it’s a luxury from the days before our current standards of climate control.
Imagine you don’t have a central heating unit–you’ve got fireplaces, and that’s it. You wake up, and it’s a brisk 8°C in your house. Staying in your nice cozy bed might not sound so bad.
It may also be a leftover thing from days when people couldn’t afford to stay in bed in the morning. Only the rich could afford to lounge around that way, so having that once a year would have been a way to treat someone like royalty.

- Comment on Name a game that you found SO FUN, but no one talks about it anymore. 1 week ago:
Nintendoland. Specifically, the mini games Animal Crossing: Sweet Day and Mario Chase.
The asymmetric gameplay was really fun. I ended up playing the Animal Crossing one with a couple of buddies until 3am one night, we were enjoying it so much. And Mario Chase was a staple for our group for years.

- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 3 weeks ago:
I use Qobuz, as I understand it pays the most to the artists. It’s $11/month CAD, which is still doable for me. Not sure if it’s “worth it” in the long term scope of things, but monthly I listen to music from a hundred or so albums (not every track from every album, so it’s hard to estimate what it would otherwise cost to buy).
I wouldn’t pay that much to Spotify or Google, though. Fuck them.

I’m not sure what the difference between “lifespan” and “expectancy” is other than semantics, given the context of your questions. Regardless of what our DNA says, our life expectancy is typically in the 70s or 80s, and that hasn’t changed much throughout known human history, so it has nothing to do with modern technology.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
No.
People have lived into their 80s for millenia. Average lifespan used to be shorter because of the amount of infant mortality. That is, anyone who made it out of childhood was likely to make it at least to their 60s, barring things like war and plague.
The simpler explanation is that the study is cookydooks.

I expect the causation is the other way around. Someone with a fragile ego may become narcissistic to protect themselves.

You can ask him, just try to not put a bunch of pressure on him for it. Explain where you’re coming from and how you feel.

Sounds reasonable from what you’ve said. What’s your relationship like with your brother? That’s probably the biggest factor.
