You forgot science enthusiasts who are desperately trying to impress people.

Can’t speak to the headphones, but they eventually moved to the head lice-free option of one of those directional dome speakers overhead.

I mean, we had these in the 90s.

If a block of lead were a light year thick, it would have a 50% chance if blocking a neutrino.

- Comment on 'It can be unnecessary - and even too much': Are violent video games like Grand Theft Auto 6 becoming too realistic? 3 weeks ago:
My take has more to do with how accessible the methods of violence are. Most kids playing GTA aren’t (dog willing) going to have access to an arsenal of fully automatic weapons or sporty cars. At that point, they might as well be using wizard magic. I think even a young kid can recognize that it’s fantasy.
But I remember in GTA3 (or maybe Vice City?), you could use a screwdriver as a stabbing weapon. That’s kinda fucked.
I personally remember trying a move from Mortal Kombat on one of my friends when we were rough housing when I was like 7. While he was on his back, I jumped (off his bed I think?) and landed with my full body weight on my knee on his sternum. Probably could have cracked a rib. Certainly knocked the wind out of him. Learned that day that even the non-stabby bits of MK should stay in the pretend realm.
To some degree, I know kids will try to emulate what they see. If what they see is fantasy, nobody gets hurt.

I remember one review commenting on how the controls were mapped to only need one hand.

- Comment on Aldo Leopold was right. 4 weeks ago:
Yeah in this case, he dropped dead in a university lab. Nobody else was with him. Fucker was a marathon runner. Nobody knows what happened, but nobody suspects foul play.
- Comment on Aldo Leopold was right. 4 weeks ago:
A friend of mine dedicated his life to birds and wildlife. He spent six months in Argentina weighing and banding penguins, worked to design autonomous buoys that track ocean data, and his personal birdwatching species count was over, 10k.
He passed away suddenly last March at the age of 33. He just got married the month before.
As tragic as his death was (especially for his widow), part of me thinks that there was some mercy in him dying so young rather than potentially living a long life of watching everything he cared about and worked to save get destroyed.

Maggots can be used to clean wounds as they can discern between living and dead tissue. Pretty fucking metal.

Oooh, I kind of love that. Like there’s a classic robot uprising, but the whole robot rights and robot sentience thing is just a smoke screen to weaken the opposition’s resolve. It’s all just a billionaire behind the curtain.
