  No kuru is just one form of prion disease that was found in one are. And from what I remember, it has never been found in other people, as it most likely developed as a sub-type of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(・・;φ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Indeed.

  Yeah people don’t just go limp, there is enough time to slip away. And you wake up pretty quick if you don’t keep breathing it in. Back when they actually used ether and chloroform as anesthesia, they had this little metal cage they’d put over the patient mouth to extend it away from the mouth, which would be wrapped in gauze and then have ether or chloroform constantly dripped on top.

  And if you try to speed it up by using more, you’re more likely to kill the patient than knock them out or numb them. Since it depresses the central nervous system.

  Nope, it’s anoychia, the picture went viral a few years ago whe someone posted it on reddit. It’s an extremely rare genetic mutation.

  I’m not saying there’s going to be another Stardew Valley update, I don’t even know at this point. Right now I am focused on my next game. So, we’ll see.

  The decision making behind this is incredibly hard for me to understand. Just a very, very nonsensical way to run the project, on paper. I wonder about the circumstances.

  The rights were aquired by Take-Two Interactive, who immediately wanted a sequel.

  Apparently it still brings in several million dollars a month.

  1. There are no species of hornet that produce honey(only bees and some wasp do)

  2. Those aren’t hornets

  3. That’s honeycomb

  4. It’s still mainly after the larvae, although it will probably eat some of the honey and comb.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fishing games?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The varied enviroment really helps.

  You can stand on a leafy, forested river bank with deer grazing nearby in the reeds as the sun rises. It can be the dock of a large lake with boats driving by during the day. Or you can be by a tiny rocky mountain lake shore as the sun sets over the distant hills. It’s can be really relaxing(as long as you’ve cleared the are and aren’t attacked by a wild animal)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Luigi checking out another CEO in my feed ?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  He’s already made a deal to have it pre-installed on the new Razr phones from Motorola, and has hinted that Samsung is doing the same.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Perplexity CEO says its browser will track everything users do online to sell 'hyper personalized' ads⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So is this another tech-bro sniffing his own farts, or does he have some plan to force the browser on people?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon always gets his man⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup.

  You can buy portable frying pans that run on the 12V AUX power. And you can get it hot enough to burn things. Although it takes 10-20min for it to reach that temperature, even with the lid on. And you can’t just keep frying a bunch of things without letting it reheat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bingo⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  America has never cared about “democracy”.

  The election system makes that blatantly obvious. First-past-the-post voting and a two party system is pretty anti-democratic in and of itself, and was derided by George Washington as one of the great evils of history.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  According to the customs and border protection website, there is a max limit of $200 that is free from duty and tax, and it has to be for personal/household use. There are amount limits on alcohol and tobacco.

  But if it’s something like a single phone, you pay in cash and open it there and dispose of the packing material. Yes, you could easily get away with violating those restrictions in most cases.

  Side-note: The limit is $800 if you go to the Caribbean, and up to $1600 for places like US Virgin Islands

  It’s not great, but in the hands of some people it’s amazing what is possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how do I avoid becoming conformist, lazy and completely incapable of learning something new?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And don’t give up if you make a mistake. Learning from a mistake is a great way to become better.

  Without examples, many people are going to assume that you dislike a change for a bad reason or that you don’t actually have examples.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨does captain Picard snore in Star Trek tng?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe there is some in Allegiance, Tapestry, The Inner Light, A Matter of Honor and All Good Things. Although it tends to be scenes that either start with him quickly waking up, or ending with him falling asleep.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Like clockwork⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I was shocked when I found out how common external/bleeding hemorrhoids can be(Almost 3/4 adults will have them from time to time).

  Then it all clicked when I realized people sit on the toilet for 15min+, which is a major contributor to that condition.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rents set to continue rising sharply despite cost-of-living squeeze, experts say⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  They don’t face any consequences, so why would they stop increasing it? They don’t care about people, they just care aboout themselves and their money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Villainous⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  A quick search shows he was high on “flakka”, tried to ram the outermost fence and barely missing an officer. He then tried to climb the fence, got stuck in the razorwire. He ended up spitting on officers and resisting arrest, and was in the end charged with: “aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, battery on a law enforcement officer, three counts of felony criminal mischief, leaving the scene of a crash with property damage and driving under the influence”.

  He was held without bail and probably saw time(It happened in 2015 and there are no followup articles and I can’t see the case, but he was arrested in 2021 and 2022 according to some court filings so he’s still doing stupid things).
