No, you probably don’t remember the crappy ones from when you were a kid, but they were there. Survivorship bias.

A pizza is larger than two of another just before it hits 1.5 times the radius (sqrt 2 times, to be exact, about 1.41). So if the radius is 1.5 times bigger, like in the OP, you always know it’s more than twice the area.

I appreciate where you’re coming from, I have ADHD too, but it’s true that if the answer is “I can’t do that” and “that” needs to be done… Then I shouldn’t be the one whose responsibility it is to do it. I’ve taken on more responsibility in my current job than I can handle, and that was a huge mistake. It is not on my employer to just put up with that because I’m neurodivergent, obviously they have a role to play in supporting me but I also need to understand what my limits and strengths are and work within them.

I’m not sure that’s something I want. It takes days to climb Everest! I don’t want to play for days just to climb a procedurally generated mountain that probably doesn’t have anything on top of it. Or at best has some random shit that you can find everywhere else.

I wish I could agree but it’s so so boring.

Magic medicine means magic ailments. Just like the introduction of antibiotics produced bacteria like MRSA, the use of magic to cure wounds could produce MRSA. That is, magic resistant staphylococcus aureus, as opposed to methicillin.

Curses and other such primarily magical ailments could also be much more difficult to deal with than simple infections/wounds.

Huh, I have never heard of such a thing! Sounds very annoying to say the least

Surely that’s the vaccine, not the needle?

The many, many species facing extinction as a result of changing climates & pollution.

Lmao what?

DM me hun x

If this is the same startup I read about a while ago… Well the technology doesn’t actually exist. There’s a vague suggestion that maybe lucid dreams could be induced through techniques that are not properly understood yet, and that’s about it.

Here’s a fun fact I just learned!

It’s fairly well known nowadays that lemmings do not, in fact, follow one another off cliffs to their deaths. The myth has been persistent for many years, and was notably perpetuated by Disney in their documentary White Wilderness, which showed lemmings apparently diving from a cliff to their deaths. Truly though, these lemmings had been flown half way across the world and were thrown from the cliffs by the documentary’s producers.

If shareholders’ profits are affected then so will the decisions lol

Mm, I’ve already seen marketers present outputs from GPT models as if it’s useful customer feedback. My suspicion is this bubble will burst though, because at some point it will become clear that they are not as good as what they’re doing as execs have been told they are.

And his face half stopped aging! Wild story, always love being reminded of this guy.

In the UK we use metric and imperial so you can buy things in kilos but also measure your efficiency in MPG. Welcome to the island of the future/past.

Tbf if you’re used to the ol’ emoticons its muscle memory in a way that emojis can’t be because your frequently used ones are always moving (at least on my phone).

And -5 farenheit is… just a bit colder than fuck? I understand what temperatures I start feeling cold perfectly well in Celsius, I know roughly when I’ll need a jacket, when I’ll need a hat and scarf… Farenheit tells me nothing because I don’t know about it. Sure, 0 is very cold, but where is “cold enough to wear a jacket”? It’s most likely never going to reach 0°F where I live, and it won’t reach 100°F outside of very rare summer days… Beyond those extremes it’s not useful to me because I don’t know it.

The inside is also all appliances lol.
