Overwatch is a particularly successful Team-Fortress-like
- Comment on Futures 1 day ago:
There’s not so much to mess up on, say, Mars. I mean the terrain is interesting in its way but it’s not like we’d be annihilating complex ecosystems like we are here on earth. We would have to establish significant ecosystems anywhere we settled, in fact.

What do you mean? I loved playing through the adventures of Lihb the dairy farmer.

I mean going vegetarian or vegan by definition reduces your options.
That said, there are lots of delicious slow cooked vegan foods. Despite what the other commenter says, there certainly are flavours & textures available that are not easily accessed on the hob, even eating plant based.

The UK? Sounds about right in GBP.
- Comment on We're all a little crazy 2 weeks ago:
Yeah I think that’s what’s so interesting about it! It’s one of the few situations where we have been able to (in a limited way) study how consciousness comes about in a mind. Perhaps leaving us with more questions than answers… Tantalising.
- Comment on We're all a little crazy 2 weeks ago:
If you’re interested I highly recommend this evidence review on the topic. I don’t remember the details but there does remain some compelling evidence for both sides. It seems like the two halves are able to communicate in some ways, but not in others. It’s not fully clear if this means there are two distinct consciousnesses, or if they continue to operate as one.
- Comment on We're all a little crazy 2 weeks ago:
The only thing I can think of that this could refer to is split brain patients who have undergone a specific medial procedure once used to treat epilepsy. It’s possible, although not well understood, that the two halves of their brain operate sort of independently, and only one has access to speech.
It’s a very interesting topic, well worth diving into! But it’s also very muddy, there is contrasting evidence for and against the “two mind” theory.
Anyway, I’m fairly certain this “theory” does not apply to healthy brains which have not undergone this procedure.

Six weeks seems very short, all the services I’ve seen are three payments over three months.

You can also force them with a bucket and they taste sweeter (supposedly). But if we’re feeding them to the geese then I’ll stick to making wine from the flowers

Do people really still use Tinder? I haven’t been single for a long time but I just assumed it had died a slow sad death.

Fuck yes. The first two games were ridiculous and very easy but fun regardless.

The ISS also moves relative to the receiver, whereas geostationary satellites don’t.

I did like it when they introduced the shitty Pokémon rip off so I could play tedious mini games with all the dozens of pets I’d collected.

Isn’t that the point of the meme? Old memes were just as stupid as new ones.

- Comment on Progress! 4 weeks ago:
I think you’re exactly right. I’m not in any way qualified to make this statement but, if I’m right, you can’t just make the brain “go faster” and get more useful time without time actually passing. Processes need to happen in the brain for thoughts to occur, and you’d have to somehow speed those up… I mean there are chemical reactions happening in your nerve endings, how are those going to speed up? Especially by a factor of >1000 as implied by the OOP!

I get that feeling of “someone’s in the house” every single time… Horrid even though I know that it’s not true.

Above the Dutch is a machine learning algorithm which so far has managed to learn to make the bottom marionette appear to vomit, and nothing else.

Mm, crispy mushrooms. Unburnt by flame, unseared by iron, but consumed and burned for energy in the acd pits of me… Who’s the eldritch horror now, huh? I will eat any lesser being.
- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 5 weeks ago:
I’m from the UK but we have a set of cups for old recipes (and American recipes)… Honestly it’s easier in a lot of cases to measure stuff out, I like it. What’s really annoying is that US and UK cups are DIFFERENT SIZES.
- Comment on Why is "Dear X" considered more formal than "To X" in e-mail/writing? 5 weeks ago:
I’m not sure of the reasons, I suspect it descends from older customs of writing “dearest” and the like among the upper classes in the 1800s… Those letters are always very flowery. Anyway, pure conjecture.
What I wanted to say is that I have seen a slip from “dear” to “hi” as the common email greeting in semi-formal spaces. I only ever see “dear” used for the very first email to a new contact, and even then relatively rarely.

Yeah, and right now the probability that it will shut does not make me want to spend any money on it.
