Iirc the rods that see in grayscale but are good at light perception, have quicker response than cones that do color vision. However, rods are most engaged in low-light conditions, which here is true for the frog, so this part kinda contradicts the response time.

Can’t fix ‘Sherlock’, though.

I started thinking that surely you’re right, remembering that alkaline bile helps digest lipids. But, hard soap does in fact contain over 70% fatty acids while ultimately somehow being alkaline.

Pro tip: use actual soap, the one you wash your hands with. Works way better for oils.

IMO it’s rather that ‘Adventure Time’ and other cartoons were inspired by Don Hertzfeldt. Afaik Pendleton Ward was in CalArts right when Hertzfeldt’s shorts came out. ‘Adventure Time’ ran at pretty much the same time as ‘Regular Show’, and they had similar style and mood — not surprisingly, since Ward befriended J. G. Quintel (and Alex Hirsch) at CalArts. These three worked on ‘The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack’ together before launching their separate series.

Yeah, basically all electronic music was invented in the nineties, little remained to discover. Idm and breakcore already came about with the crazy structures. Dubstep is the one major missing link, but it’s pretty straightforward evolution from dnb.
Fun fact: Scorn’s ‘Greetings from Birmingham’ came out in 2000 (made by former Napalm Death drummer Mick Harris), but somehow the dubstep genre got entirely hijacked by the London people later on.

Activision actually did publishing for Bungie through the 2010s.
But the cherry on that hypothetical cake is that Sony currently owns Bungie.

Thunder is encoding the percent-signs, which are used for the original encoding of the dash. Which of course bungles the url.

Yeah, Ukrainians are in such wonder anytime people from a distant and foreign culture like Russia come visit, that they kowtow and shower the tourists in gifts.

Don’t know if I can trust him since the photo shows he’s playing the graphical version of the game.

There are of course LLM ‘games’ that pretend to create a story in which the player does arbitrary actions. They’re utter dogshit, because a) they can’t keep track of their world for a prolonged time, since LLMs were never made for such coherent reasoning and keeping track of objects; and b) they just string the player along forever without any particular objectives, since their whole modus operandi is endlessly generating text that seems coherent.

Idk, it’s quite a regular trope in discussions on travelling that USian tourists don’t eat local cuisine and instead go to McD because they know what they’re getting.
- Comment on German joke 4 weeks ago:
McDonald’s is actually famous around the world because no matter where you walk into one, you get pretty much the same ‘quality’ of food. So USians love eating McDonald’s abroad.

Sharks are cartilaginous fish, with the skeletons made of cartilage. So while they’re vertebrates, I’m not sure that the vertebrae function the same as bony ones.
- Comment on German joke 4 weeks ago:
Eastern-European food often can’t be attributed to any one country. Pierogi are identical to Ukrainian varenyky, and in case of meat dumplings also Russian pelmeni (borrowed from Komi and Udmurt cuisine). It’s hypothesized that dumplings originated in China and spread from there to Europe via the Silk Road trade, possibly via Turks; and to Siberia via Mongols.

Orcas: “write it down, write it down”.
Orcas love shark liver, to the extent that they will eat the liver and leave everything else. It’s not a small snack either:
Pretty understandable why they don’t find humans tasty in comparison.

This also skips on how his sister edited his yet-unpublished works after his death, to include her German ultranationalist and antisemitic views, while he was opposed to them.
A kinda similar situation to that of Kafka, wherein Max Brod, who was supposed to burn all of Kafka’s manuscripts, instead e.g. rearranged the chapters of ‘The Trial’ for no good reason, such that it probably reads way more surrealistically. I’ve recently listened to some kinda restored edition that attempts to put back the intended order, and while it’s still a mess at times, the happenings are pretty understandable.

The only thing I’ve seen of ‘Star Wars’ is ‘Attack of the Clones’, but I was thinking of watching the new trilogy sometime. Are you saying I should’t do that either?
