i really miss pop-up cameras on phones.

good peace of mind knowing the fucker is tucked away inside.

Kiki and Bouba.

everyone in Taiwan would love to do that, but Beijing can’t get over being dumped.

ah, i was looking forward to saying “you’re not a villain” with more context, but… it seems like you’re making a gacha game. this sounds just like, for example, Genshin Impact wishes. the diagnosis stands :(

(i’m assuming that, as usual, managing your upgrades is a secondary part of the gameplay, and that we’re talking about a random chance based danger of failure )

why are random setbacks better than just getting out of the player’s way, and getting back to the main action of the game as soon as possible?

if upgrades are rewards for playing well enough to gather resources, why waste the player’s time and effort when they aren’t doing anything wrong?

“wasting” resources can be fine, if you learn something from it, even by process of elimination, like experimenting with different ingredients to find a recipe.

but it sounds here like your game would just slap the player in the face sometimes, to try to make them feel better about when they don’t get slapped.

You’re a villain. Sorry, the evidence is incontrovertible.

unfortunately, opening the door changes the temperature, so in practice instruments are calibrated from copies of the room built at other metrology institutions around the world.

the twat in the hat.

i think corgana meant zero people who reply with meaningless comments just for the sake of replying, like those tiresome one-line joke threads that choke up every big subteddit.

“Moon of Alabama” is completely divorced from reality. CIA bio weapons labs in Ukraine, complete vehement denial of Russian invasion plans until it happened, then an instant switch to it being a glorious liberation, denial of Russian war crimes and ethnic cleansing, denial of Assad’s war crimes… a textbook firehose of falsehoods.

if you want the most demented conspiracy theories, sure

you mean a computing pool, like SETI@home since the late 90s?

absolutely no need to make this idea stink of a crypto scam.

also, the bats flapped, the fish bubbled, the sun smiled and the robot flailed its hooks wildly.

is that to avoid using liquid vinegar?

adding to abnorc’s excellent answer - circuit diagrams are all drawn as if charge carriers are positive (this is called “conventional current”), but because electrons are negative, this can get very confusing when you’re dealing with components where the flow of charge is one-way only (diodes, transistors, batteries, photometers…)

that’s not arbitrary - the hour hand of a clock mimics the shadow of a sundial.

it makes sense, in the northern hemisphere, where 90% of people live.

It’s not more precise, it becomes inaccurate.

A man says he’s 6’6". Sure. If he’s anywhere between 6’5½" and 6’6½", that’s true.

You say he’s 198.12cm tall. The range of this being true is now thinner than a needle. It has gone far beyond what anyone actually measures. In over 99% of cases, it’s not true, and if it is, it won’t be for long, because the human body isn’t nearly that consistent from breath to breath.

The conversion with spurious false precision has made the number go from true to not true.

The man is six foot six, yes, true. The man is 198.12cm - no he isn’t.
