- Comment on Is water an acid or a base? 1 week ago:
By that definition, it can’t be exactly 7 then either. 10^-7 is just an estimate that we’ve agreed works fine. To my knowledge we haven’t really tried to improve this accuracy either?
- Comment on Is water an acid or a base? 1 week ago:
Also I’m pretty sure it’s only coincidentally 7. The calculation for pH isn’t based any property of water.
- Comment on Definitely didn't waste half an hour making this 1 month ago:
The issue is the plastic internal mechanisms will wear out eventually. The Pentels have a metal core which has never worn out from my usage. I always end up losing the pencils before they break. The same can’t be said for the BICs.

Pretty sure you can’t use GPS by itself since it can be inaccurate or not work at all inside tunnels.

First film had better effects.
- Comment on Critical Role's plans to make a videogame have become an 'active pursuit', says CEO Travis Willingham, after almost 10 years of growing a D&D campaign into a full-on franchise 5 months ago:
Yeah it sounds like the success of BG3 probably spurred this endeavor. I was giving it two years to be optimistic but yeah most likely longer.
- Comment on Critical Role's plans to make a videogame have become an 'active pursuit', says CEO Travis Willingham, after almost 10 years of growing a D&D campaign into a full-on franchise 5 months ago:
Are they projecting a release in like two years? Could be viable.

Also the money. I’d love to do more hardware heavy stuff but the pay just isn’t there.
- Comment on Denzel Washington: Ridley Scott Is Long 'Overdue' for an Oscar 5 months ago:
Too bad Gladiator 2 was a bunch of bizarre logical lapses so that certain plot points can happen. Also such bad CGI these days. Really pales in comparison to the original.

This game is the reason my eyes and vestibular systems are disconnected.

- Comment on Should you trust that doctor? 6 months ago:
JD should definitely be higher than Strange on the Y axis. He cares way more for his patients.
- Comment on Should you trust that doctor? 6 months ago:
So Dr. Strange is trained in neurosurgery, which is a 7 year residency compared to 3-4 years for internal medicine. He may have also done a neurosurgery fellowship for 2 years.
- Comment on Should you trust that doctor? 6 months ago:
But that’s the Y axis. Training is on the X. As a neurosurgeon, he’s had at least 2 more years of training than JD, possibly a lot more.
- Comment on Should you trust that doctor? 6 months ago:
Dr. Strange should have more formal training for his surgery specialty. Did JD specialize or did he just stay in internal medicine?
- Comment on Should you trust that doctor? 6 months ago:
And does he actually have no formal training? You’d think at some stretch of his life he actually became accredited somewhere. Possible on multiple planets.
- Comment on How is the calories meter on exercise bikes accurate 6 months ago:
Beyond what other people are saying, it should be pretty reliable for comparing between exercise sessions so you can see your improvement over time.
- Comment on Are there Cozy shooter games? 6 months ago:
I’ve been feeling this with Cyberpunk a bit. But you may think it’s too quest driven to be considered.
- Comment on Anon doesn't like the new meta 6 months ago:
But those FPV drones have to be reusable. A kamikaze drone only needs to last long enough to get to the target. Motors, batteries, etc don’t need to have long lifetimes. Think about how cheap the battery can be if it doesn’t need to be rechargeable. If the motor needs at most 5 hours of runtime?
- Comment on Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Dev Says Big Budget Games Are Failing in Part Because Teams Are Over-Scoping Their Projects 6 months ago:
Yeah so today there’s more of a spectrum. Back in the 80s and 90s there were far fewer choices.
I get what you mean though, just wanted to point out it’s more complicated to judge older games by new standards. Eg. if Zelda were a new franchise it might just be a fully open world from the get go.
- Comment on Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Dev Says Big Budget Games Are Failing in Part Because Teams Are Over-Scoping Their Projects 6 months ago:
Wasn’t Zelda always open world? LttP was about as open world as they come back in the day?
- Comment on How do our brains process reality? I heard our eyes were just low-res cameras and our brains were doing all the heavy lifting in 'rendering' reality. 7 months ago:
You can test this: ismy.blue
Obviously not perfect since it depends on screens and lighting conditions.

I know some people upgrading Pixels every year because with trade in and sales they only need to pay like $200. I don’t think Sony will take an existing PS5 though…

Going to the gym won’t make you less skinny. Eating more at a surplus will. Also 1g protein/lb of body weight per day.
- Comment on Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford says his hopes on Epic Store were 'overly optimistic or misplaced' 8 months ago:
That’s only true if you’re selling steam keys. Eg you are using Valve’s infrastructure. And they don’t even require the 30% cut in this case. If you sold the game using another infrastructure then you can price it how you want.
