- Comment on Is there another term for crafted, interactive activities besides games/video games? 1 month ago:
That disconnect in expectations is definitely what I had in mind in asking this, yeah. One hears game, thinks fun, it doesn’t fit their idea of fun, and the game unintentionally disappoints in the process.

Or like some exhibits in a museum, but also media like Flower. It’s called a video game, but I feel like that’s for lack of a better term more than anything. It’s lovely whatever you may call it.

I knew I forgot something, sorry…I’m asking in terms of crafted, interactive activities that aren’t necessarily aiming to be fun. More like interesting and thought-provoking.

yeah, but you gave me an even better idea: fake eggs filled with even more dampening material! it would be eggstravagant!
- Comment on How do you voice chat without bothering roommates? 1 month ago:
My question is coming more from the perspective of, “i think i’d like to try voice chatting but i really don’t want to be that roommate someone wants to strangle”
- Comment on How do you voice chat without bothering roommates? 1 month ago:
but something as simple and cheap as paper egg cartons on your walls will greatly reduce how much sound gets through.
Hadn’t come across this before, thanks!
silly follow-up
would keeping and rotating the eggs improve the sound dampening?

Get a cruise ship horn (make sure it’s rated for 140-150 decibels) and play it for the entirety of the call.
Would “TRAIN SOUNDS (true volume, horn every 5 minutes) 24-HOUR MIX” also work?

Wouldn’t it be easier for everyone to instead not add such systems? After all, don’t many go for the simple logic of bigger number is better instead of doing the math?

Thanks for the extensive response! I appreciate the perspective, particularly the nuances on peer review, and the grounded conclusion.

…Does NASA have something on the web that lets people ping the Moon, by any chance?
- Comment on How do you go about evaluating sources of information for truth/credibility/etc.? 2 months ago:
It’s peer reviewed if it has the name of a peer-reviewed journal on it.
Where do journals indicate that they are?

- Comment on Somebody moved UK's oldest satellite, and no-one knows who or why 2 months ago:
Would there be any sort of logs either from the systems used to move the satellite, or aboard the satellite itself, to help answer the who question, if nothing else?
- Comment on How do offline, local groups get started and reach others now? 2 months ago:
I think posters/flyers are one of the most powerful ways to reach people in a local area, you’ve got to be in the local area to see them, right?
For sure in terms of locality, but not sure how effective they are in areas with lower foot traffic due to infrastructure. In a city this may work well, but does it also work as well in more rural, spread-out areas?
- Comment on How do offline, local groups get started and reach others now? 2 months ago:
Follow-up: has anyone coming across started a local group, or helped with one starting out that could relate how they went about it?
- Comment on How do offline, local groups get started and reach others now? 2 months ago:
Appreciate the advice for finding groups! However, my question is more about getting them started and handling outreach to keep them going.
This does provide some insight into some venues that may be good for them, so thanks!

Unsurprisingly, more closely related species of similar body size and microhabitat use are more likely to be engaged in misdirected amplexus with each other.
So…They’re similar enough that any arousal confusion is incidentally amplified? I guess they may not be similar enough for this behavior to be successful and produce increased genetic diversity among themselves, though? 🤨

- Comment on Mental hell 4 months ago:
Thanks for some detail! What you describe reassures me in my decision not to get further into it, particularly as a professor path seemed one of few traditional options with what I studied.
- Comment on Mental hell 4 months ago:
Are doctorate/grad school programs distinctly competitive? My impression was that they were more challenging but similar in nature to undergrad insofar as loads of coursework to stay on top of to complete courses and ensure you got some of the most expensive, “You endured it!” paperwork in the world.
