Like most genres there’s going to be some films that connect with some people more than others. The music, setting, characters, story, etc can all weigh in on how effective the scares or laughs or whatever emotional reaction you’re going for are with different audiences. If heredity was too slow of a suspense builder you might want to avoid other similar slow building suspense for awhile and look for more faster paced action horror, comedy horror, etc other sub-genres of horror.

Reminds me of a line from Community: “You’re more like a fun vampire, instead of sucking blood you just suck.”

We should be exploring both options, exploration can often lead to unexpected discoveries and technological advancement.

It doesn’t have to not kill people to be an improvement, it just has to kill less people than people do

Also Canada is the number 1 producer of potassium in the world, massive potash mines up in Saskatchewan

Is that the one where they believe all the things Calvin’s Dad says?

An unnecessary or wasteful project or activity.

Nobody should give a shit what another reality TV show host business marketing shill grifter has to say about labor regulations. He’s the last person I would care about an opinion from on the topic. Not seeing a link, did the article also include a response from labor leaders?

Lately I’ve been playing Roboquest, an indie arena shooter about halfway through the progression system, and Octopath Traveler 2, a jrpg with great music and some battle mechanics that make turn based combat more interesting (5 battle points per character that charge per turn to boost abilities, defense breaks/weak points, and buff/debuff counters).

There are about the same number of bacteria cells in your body as human cells, and some of the bacteria in your intestines, ‘gut biome’, can affect your preferences for certain foods effectively controlling your mind.

A ‘reference man’ (one who is 70 kilograms, 20–30 years old and 1.7 metres tall) contains on average about 30 trillion human cells and 39 trillion bacteria,

That probably freaks me out just as much as time passing not being fundamental under B time indicated by general relativity or free will being illusory and the universe is more likely deterministic.

I think I missed that because I saw him in another spot wandering around before he went to the central hub place he stays at for a long time

I think there would have been less issue with the Zelda weapon system if they started you with a bigger inventory space or made the tree guy who expands it someone you talk to and learn where to meet them later at the beginning of the game.

Surge pricing=price gouging, there is no difference

Saved an old desktop and laptop from the trash by installing mint and Firefox with ublock. The desktop lasted them for years without any problems, and I think the only problem I supported on the laptop over years was the boot mount filled itself up during updates and needed to be cleaned up.

EVERYONE!

I wonder how many just check out when they get to the list of begats

Here’s the cycle we’ve gone through multiple times and are currently in:

AI winter (low research funding) -> incremental scientific advancement -> breakthrough for new capabilities from multiple incremental advancements to the scientific models over time building on each other (expert systems, LLMs, neutral networks, etc) -> engineering creates new tech products/frameworks/services based on new science -> hype for new tech creates sales and economic activity, research funding, subsidies etc -> (for LLMs we’re here) people become familiar with new tech capabilities and limitations through use -> hype spending bubble bursts when overspend doesn’t keep up with infinite money line goes up or new research breakthroughs -> AI winter -> etc…

I mostly had it for streaming video but cancelled once they started offering a sub + ads tier for their videos, I don’t want to support companies that do that greasy shit like cable TV did.

Steel battalion with the full controller setup

Reasonable justice reforms for social media used as public alert and communication systems, AI, crypto, gaming, etc to regulate new markets emerging from new tech to prevent predatory monetization policy and monopolies causing increased wealth centralization and patent trolling slowing down technical innovation in general.
