  Found the article: www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-sussex-36443264

  I can’t be bothered to read the study itself, but even the article is better than the headline. From what I gather, it’s not that snails only have two brain cells in total like certain people, but that the researchers have managed to isolate a very specific task that utilizes two specific brain cells.

  They have seatbelts, but for the most of the flight they are unused - you only need to buckle in during takeoff, landing, and if when encountering turbulence.

  I guess there wasn’t enough time to get all the passengers to fasten their seatbelts before the collision?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Steam controller was ahead of its time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I also didn’t mind the two extra buttons, and was a little sad when they went away, because they were largely replaced by the joystick buttons, which I think are hard to use properly.

  Weren’t the black and white buttons replaced by triggers? The joystick buttons already existed in the first XBox.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Steam controller was ahead of its time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The original PS1 controller didn’t have joysticks, and when it did, the position sucked for larger hands. I have always preferred the XBox layout.

  Right. I meant the second PS1 controller, not the original one. The design changed over the years, but the general specs stayed as the baseline of controllers.

  The XBox layout with its six face buttons did not stick, and the XBox 360 conformed with Sony’s design of four face buttons and two triggers. Which makes more sense for shooters (since you have more buttons while keeping your thumb on the right thumbstick)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Steam controller was ahead of its time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The entire industry has agreed on a de-facto standard for controllers, which is pretty much the PS1 controller:

  • Two clickable thumbsticks
  • Four face buttons
  • D-pad
  • Four triggers
  • Two menu buttons
  • The only thing the PS1 didn’t have (but games can’t use it, so maybe it doesn’t count?) - a button for showing the platform’s menu

  You can add things on top of that (trackpads, gyros, making some of these digital buttons analog), but if you don’t have that - your controller won’t work for games that expect these inputs to be available.

  If I had to put a date on when this became the established standard, I’d say 2005 or 2006 - the years when the XBox 360 and the PS3 were released, since both consoles had these capabilities (Nintendo kept doing its own thing, and only supported this standard starting with the Wii U). So when the Steam controller was released in 2015 - this standard was already established, controllers for PC made sure to support it - and even PC games stuck to it.

  This is why I think the Steam Controller failed - you had to map it. You couldn’t use it like you would a standard controller even if the game was made for standard controllers.

  Just how docile are your cats? If I’d take my cats to the bus without a container I’d have to run back and forth trying to fish them from the overhead storage racks when I reach my stop.

  I tried releasing them in my car once, and they managed to squeeze under the driver and passenger seats. At least that was an environment fully under my control.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨All downhill from there⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The hate being picked up in general, even if there is no threat of vet, so they’ll struggle to get out of my arms and if they succeed - I’ve lost the element of surprise.

  Also - I have two cats, and if I need to take both to vet then even if I manage to place one in a carrier he’ll alert the other that something is wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨All downhill from there⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem is getting a hold of them in the first place. They just bolt from one hiding place to another, and I say “hiding place” but they’re not as much “hidden” as “hard to reach when you are a human-sized human”. The only reason I eventually manage to catch them is that ambush predators gets tired quicker than persistence predators.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨All downhill from there⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Persistence predation is the only way I can manage to take my cats to the vet.
