Starfield Is About to Get Some Really Good Updates Soon, Says Howard
Reply in thread
It's pretty obvious that once the sales for the game tanked after the initial release that Bethesda just wrote the game off and reallocated the resources to other projects. There is a good amount of potential in the setting if problems were fixed and mod tools were released but a lot of the bones of the game are just bland and uninteresting.

The threat of respiratory illnesses is underway, CDC director says, and hospitalizations are on the rise
Reply in thread
I caught it in my 30s and it was two weeks of misery. I had never been that sick with a respiratory virus in my life. It's easy to see it being dangerous for the very young and old.

The constant negativity is killing me

Mercury alone is safe enough to handle a bit where you would be mostly worried about breathing too much of its vapor. Organic compounds of mercury on the other hand can kill you within days of a drop touching your skin.

6-MSITC is found in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, brussel sprouts, ect. We should probably just keep leafy greens in our diet.

Wiser with time
I'm convinced that these conspiracies are spawned from racism towards non white civilizations. It's easier for them to believe an imagined space God came there and built something rather than the indigenous people. There is also probably some need to believe that we are always at the peak of human progress in all things but in reality the story is more complicated.

"Evolution" by Sarah Andersen
Reply in thread
What it really meant when people talk about living fossils etc is that the morphology of the creature has changed very little. Genetically and on a cellular level there would definitely be a lot of changes from their earlier forms millions of years ago. DNA just doesn't stick around for more than a couple hundred thousand years maximum it seems so it's difficult for us to chart those changes that aren't visible in morphology. Creatures that seem to not change drastically in such long scale time usually have niches and environments that haven't changed drastically in their existence.

I underestimated the expendable anti tank

The expendable rocket is likely a more effective weapon but I just love how the quasar cannon saved me from all of the weapon juggling.

I used to be really confused by the "fake it 'till you make it crowd" but in the recent years I realized how far it can take you when people just think that you are rich. I really can't wait until this planet sluffs us off like fleas and something better comes along in a million years.

Plans to present meat as ‘sustainable nutrition’ at Cop28 revealed
Raising animals for meat isn't inherently an awful thing for the environment. There is land that is useful for grazing but unsuitable for growing crops. Turning inedible grasses into meat is very useful but industrial scale grain fed and fattened meat production clearly is a problem.

Steam adds "Boomer Shooter" as an official tag
Reply in thread
I always preferred the term "Arena Shooter" but it may have more specific meaning than any game that vaguely has elements popular in fps games of the 90s that I think "Boomer Shooter" is usually trying to communicate.

The 2cv was actually the original and the bug was the copy.

Ya'll are missing out. Mochi with red bean paste is amazing. It's about the sweet and savory combination. Pretty similar to how halva works.

We've had a few killer games recently

Everyone compares the game to starship troopers and Terminator but I haven't seen anyone mention that the game loop is literally left4dead. I guess everyone forgot about those games.

Many prehistoric handprints show a finger missing. What if this was not accidental?

Even then religious rituals is a bucket explanation used when archeologists have no idea why something is a certain way. If something is weird about an extinct animal then it's always for mate selection reasons. The same sort of thing.

It may not be an option if you're severely restricted on space but it helps if you make enough to freeze a couple extra portions of food and eat them weeks later. Generally when you are cooking for yourself it's healthier than processed or restaurant food and it's cheaper. I tend to gravitate to international markets where they have bulk bins of vegetables so you are able to just buy a single carrot, single potato etc. Cooking in slightly larger portions and shopping that way really helps to reduce waste for myself.
