If you revisit the clinic frequently, Iosevka has a noticeable personality shift at one point. She gets replaced by a Choir member impersonating her, who is running bizarre experiments. When you get into the back of the clinic, that’s what you find.

Even the hyperreal numbers *R, which include infinitesimals, define 1 == .999…

I dunno, maybe trying to revive your multi-player shooter franchise into one of the most monopolized, overexposed genres in gaming history is kind of a high-risk move with little potential for returns. Kind of like trying to make a WoW clone while WoW was at its peak, which dozens of companies did and then all went out of business.

Damn, it’s almost like making a game that requires a million active players at all times, when you have no name presence or existing player base to draw upon, is kind of a stupid terrible business decision.

I’m no business or gaming genius, but I feel like I would have done something a little safer and more sustainable. Maybe use your Starseige IP to make a single-player focused mecha game? Haven’t had one of those in a while. The last one was… Armored Core 6? One of the best selling and most critically well received games of last year. Yeah, who’d want to tap into that market with a brand new mecha game to ride on the still hungering appetites of AC6 players?

No no, Better stick to making another fortnight clone, that certainly hasn’t burned anyone (including themselves!!!) before.

You shouldn’t eat precious minerals little loot bug!

Absolutely. Pandemic “inflation” threw all kinds of prices too high and nothing is coming back down because most industries are so small that they’re all essentially oligarchies now.

I am dead certain that the pandemic has actually put the US into a hard recession which the Fed has been covering up with various tricks. I’m pretty sure that after the presidential election, whichever way it goes, the economy is going to tank.

I can pretty rarely get under $30 for just myself ($50 for two i consider quite the deal now) and we live in a city with many options, and most places i would order from are about a 10 minute drive. I’m not saying it’s right or good, just that the prices you see are in line with what I’ve been seeing. Food is quite a bit more expensive right now.

No joke, a friend’s advice for getting good at pool/billiards was to start playing with my off-hand dominant. And he was right! It didn’t take long to get back up to speed with my other hand and my game is way better because I have a better intuitive feel now, and I’m not caught by unfavorable shots since i can freely use either hand forward to play.

I do this with any physical activity I’m trying to improve at now. It trains the brain to focus on the mechanics of the task, not just autopilot through it. And being a little more ambidextrous is just real nice!

There are a ton of competing models for how the early universe formed. In order to explain why the universe is so smooth and flat though, they all invoke the idea of a short (10e-37 seconds) period of time immediately following “the singularity” that is presumed to have been literally the first point. During inflation the universe blows up 100000 times in size (and correspondingly drops in temperature by the same factor) then immediately slows down to roughly the rate of expansion we see today.

There are a lot of simulations and theories about this could have worked. And I’m sure they all have lots of grounding and math and believers. But none of thr explanations I’ve ever heard amount to more than “when I do this funny thing, the math works and none of of us know why” and that has been the state of quantum physics for 70 years: a series of “we don’t know but the math works.”

In software, we call that tech debt and I feel like our current model of profit-driven science isn’t capable of actually finding or reporting the answers that underly the debt-riddled results out of modern labs.

This text book seems to cover the idea. https://phys.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/College_Physics/College_Physics_1e_(OpenStax)/30%3A_Atomic_Physics/30.06%3A_The_Wave_Nature_of_Matter_Causes_Quantization I guess I’m drawing my ideas mainly from the Bohr model.

The hot big bang is basically just “let there be light” wrapped up in science words and don’t get me started on the period of rapid inflation. It’s incredible to me that the bedrock of modern physics is hand-waved away to get grad students focused back on either bigger nuclear plants and bombs or more qubits.

I was actually just eyeing my PS4 and considering a new playthrough, haha. It’s especially funny to me with the ER expansion just out.

I find the combat is BB very smooth and fun. I think there’s a good variety of weapons, but not too many builds. It hits a sweet spot for me between Sekiro and ER. Sekiro is too ridged, too linear, too focused on exactly one playstyle. ER is too big, too open-world, and has so many playstyles that after the first playthrough you’re better off using a guide to find specifically the gear you need.

I’ve been learning German and I call it the surprise ending language because everything is like that. In complex phrases, you often leave the primary verb until the very last word. So you might get something like:

I’d like to, with your daughter and a duck, this coming weekend, at the park, if it’s not raining, with our bicycles, go for a ride.

What? You use these words, but I do not think they mean what you think they mean.

Quantization is probably the result of vibrational modes, that doesn’t mean irrational numbers don’t exist, just that we can’t measure an infinitely precise value. Tau and root-two exist, they arise naturally in the most basic geometric shapes.

Bothered by the units but not the lack of factoring for size differences? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bite_force_quotient

It would seem the unit you want for the SI biting force quotient is the Newton per kilogram.

No no you see it’s…it’s all made of vibrating… energy, no not like that, in a science way! There’s particles, but actually they’re waves, but of probability but its all energy. What is energy? Uh… work, over time. What’s work? Uh… the thing I really better get back to, bye!

You ever notice how there’s like, zero brown-skinned people in Tim Burton movies? Glad the shrunken-head guy got a bigger role in this one though, he’s African right?

I’d learned somewhere along the line that Natural numbers (that is, the set ℕ) are all the positive integers and zero. Without zero, I was told this were the Whole numbers. I see on wikipedia (as I was digging up that Unicode symbol) that this is contested now. Seems very silly.

Anyone starting a betting pool on how long the “indie” and A/AA components last before being scrapped for parts or folded back under the big money house? This just sounds like complicated restructuring to prepare for decommissioning or sale to me.

Somehow I’m bothered that Sandy Clay Loam and Silty Clay Loam are both a thing, but Loam is already the “Silty Sandy Low-Clay Loam” and a the middle-most area is “Clay Loam” instead of pure loam. WHY IS CLAY’S POWER SO GREAT!?

Is this what keeps the soil kingdoms in balance? The two rivals, silt and sand, locked in eternal hatred and yet forced to cooperate to maintain balance against the all consuming Clay Empire?

I’m following a few dozen, but as others have said, there’s little enough content that I just sort by Scaled and browse Everything. The Voyager app has an option to block all NSFW content (I wish it had the opposite for my alt account though! 😅) and I block non-nsfw communities that I don’t care about (like a lot of the sports team ones).
