Hell no. Some insects only live for a few weeks at most. Imagine starving to death repeatedly because you're a moth in adult form with no mouth. And your perception of time makes it feel like a whole human lifetime. No thanks.
And some currency is almost worthless. I'd need more set boundaries personally
The original 6
The House trilogy
The Butlerian Jihad
Hunters of Dune
Sandworms of Dune
After a first read through, I started just reading them chronologically.
I know there's at least one more trilogy that you can throw after The Butlerian Jihad. I found it more forgettable than the rest of these.
I generally notice the fruity flavors more but that might just be my palette. I'm not sure how well it works with espresso. Never tried that but now I'm curious
Highly recommend a pinch of salt in any good black coffee.
Really opens the flavors in it.
Which is why you don't do it to bad coffee. It will open up the bouquet of garbage haha
Looks like a giant fell on his face spread eagle and the town was built of its body
But where will people drunkenly fight over half a sausage in the parking lot now???
"You mean my radical and insane interpretations of the law are insane and radical?".
Yeah, he fucking knows and is a piece of shit like the rest of these disingenuous monsters
This is a larger problem in our society at large: the financial class basically strangling creativity in search of ever increasing secure profit.
It sucks because the talent is all there to make these games and be creative but big money doesn't want to take a chance.
So they shit out games that just reprise other things, remake old games, etc. for that more certain dollar. It's no longer about making the best game of Z genre. It's about ticking the most boxes to please the most people so the game will sell everywhere enough to fill greedy men's pockets with money.
PS2 was definitely a huge jump to me, too
The biggest detail for me being that characters blinked outside of cut scenes in higher resolution (for the time) games like The Bouncer.
It stopped feeling like leaps after that. And even that, for me, felt more like polish.
But I love the discussion and I like seeing where and how people draw the lines!
I have friends my age who won't play games in anything below 1440p, 120Hz and I'm like... You are denying yourself a whole world of awesome games and experiences...
It's hard to really describe to younger generations just what it was like.
I'm an elder millennial (1984) and the changes to games within my lifetime has been breath taking and staggering.
The first game I remember playing is River Raid on my brother's Atari. I was a vaguely plane shaped black block.
A couple years later, I find myself playing Super Mario Bros. A few more and it's SMB3 and I'm holding a gameboy in my hands on the road trips to Florida to see my grandparents.
Then the jump to SNES and Genesis. Seeing that depth and life seep into the characters... The music gaining in complexity...
I even had a Sega CD and I remember how mind blowing it was when Sonic turned and ran towards the back to go through a loop instead of just side to side.
Then for it was PS1 with Final Fantasy 7... Graphical cut scenes like moving works of art.
After this point, yes there was still obvious and sometimes bigger jumps... But this is where it all was SO different each generation. Not just seeing extra small details and polishes. Large, discrete jumps forward
I wish I could give my wonder to anyone who never got to experience it. It was an amazing time to live.
It's sad how true this rings.
And I'm not sure how much other people understand about how thick the bubble is that they've been submerged into.
Everything he says like this is basically the same kind of shit I thought was deep at 12
I've become the same. I'm now that person seeking out more obscure and underrated gems from anywhere in the 30s through the 90s. I hate the thought of all this cultural collateral damage disappearing forever.
Like something straight out of the Flintstones' town of Bedrock.
I guess this person has never heard of a solar water heater...
Some of the Earth’s most “extreme features” have been discovered deep, deep underground, and scientists can’t work out what they are.The mysterious zones have the power to slow down seismic waves by up to 50 per cent, yet experts don’t know what they’re made of or what role they play.These strange b...
The mysterious zones have the power to slow down seismic waves by up to 50 per cent, yet experts don’t know what they’re made of or what role they play.
These strange black holes (figuratively speaking) are located within the Earth’s lower mantle – near the core – and are known as ultra-low velocity zones (ULVZs).
And again, the information came from the University of Zadar, not of Bradford.
Here's a link to their facebook post where they told everyone about it.
You can absolutely criticize the sensationalism of them using the word city in the good.is article and I agree. But to say that it is a "total fabrication" when there's roads, tools and signs of human habitation is a bit of a stretch.
I only posted this in news. Not sure why you commented twice and both were basically saying the same thing.
Directly from the article
"To their astonishment, it was a 4 to 5-meter-deep structure offering clues to a settlement almost identical to the one in Soline. They also dug out several Neolithic artifacts such as flint blades, stone axes, and fragments of wood on this site."
I'm not personally saying that one building is a city but it's a start.
They never mention the university at Bradford, but speak of the university of Zadar, so I'm not really sure why you linked that article that is related but not the same.
Neutron star collisions create a strange, dense "soup" of quarks and gluons in the aftermath of the smashup that scientists are studying.
When neutron stars dance together, the grand smash finale they experience might create the densest known form of matter known in the Universe. It’s called “quark matter, ” a highly weird combo of liberated quarks and gluons. It’s unclear if the stuff existed in their cores before the end of their dance. However, in the wild aftermath a neutron-star merger, the strange conditions could free quarks and gluons from protons and neutrons. That lets them move around freely in the aftermath. So, researchers want to know how freely they move and what conditions might impede their motion (or flow).
The submerged Neolithic city most possibly belonged to the pre-historic remains of ancient Hvar civilization located in Croatia.
Sip, return, repeat’: US city tackles throwaway cup culture with first-of-its-kind system
From Starbucks to local cafes, Petaluma’s reusable cup project aims to cut down on rampant plastic waste
Instead of the single-use paper or plastic cups that Gearhard would usually line up for the barista slinging espresso, he’s passing over shiny new reusable cups that bear the slogan “Sip, Return, Repeat”. Customers who need their lattes to go can take the purple cups with them, then return them to one of 60 bins scattered across downtown Petaluma when they’ve finished. Each cup comes with a trackable QR code to help monitor results.
- Researchers have just found evidence of “dark electrons”—electrons you can’t see using spectroscopy—in solid materials.
- By analyzing the electrons in palladium diselenide, the team was able to find states that functionally cancel each other out, blocking the electrons in those “dark states” from view.
- The scientists believe this behavior is likely to be found across many other substances as well, and could help explain why some superconductors behave in unexpected ways.
Can THC Turn Back The Clock? Cannabis Reverses Brain Aging, Boosts Mental Capacity, New Study Suggests
THC brain aging reversal: New study reveals how low-dose THC can enhance cognitive function and reverse aging in the elderly. Read now!
Initially, THC boosted brain metabolism and synaptic protein levels, indicative of heightened cognitive processes. Subsequently, it shifted towards reducing metabolic activities in the body akin to the effects seen with caloric restriction or intensive exercise, known for their anti-aging benefits.
New virus that causes ‘staggering disease’ discovered in US - and it can kill pet cats and those in the wild
First case found in female mountain lion in Colorado last May
The American Veterinary Medical Association said symptoms to watch for include a staggering gait, the inability to retract claws, extreme sensitivity to touch, tremors, and seizures. The illness usually lasts for a few days to a few weeks, but can also linger for more than a year.
A serendipitous discovery at Stanford revealed the properties of a material that changes form when exposed to flame. The finding holds promise for a spray coating that could protect homes from fire over four times as long as current solutions.
The researchers also say that current fire-resisting gels dry out and become useless about 45 minutes after being applied. With their new material however, because the silica aerogel stays behind until it is washed away, the coating could be applied well in advance of an approaching wildfire while still providing protection when the flames arrive
Scientists Develop World’s Fastest Microscope — It’s So Fast It Can Capture Electrons Moving
The new microscope captures the fleeting motions of electrons with unprecedented precision, revealing the hidden dynamics of the subatomic world.
Their attosecond system involves a powerful laser split into two components: a fast electron pulse and two ultrashort light pulses. The first light pulse, called the pump pulse, energizes a sample, triggering electron movement or other rapid changes. The second pulse, known as the optical gating pulse, creates a brief window to generate a single attosecond electron pulse. The timing of this gating pulse determines the image resolution. By precisely synchronizing these pulses, researchers can control when the electron pulses probe the sample, allowing them to observe ultrafast atomic-level processes.

New policy will change how N.J. police respond to some mental health calls
A new statewide policy will require all police departments in New Jersey to coordinate with mental health professionals when they're responding to a call for a barricaded person.
Magnetars could zap clouds of atomic hydrogen, producing focused microwave beams.
I remember the EPA inspections when I worked in pest control. They were basically a joke.
My current favorite search engine. Just pick one that's running out of your country or close to it. Hope it works as well for you as it does for me.
