I have a bad sense of direction IRL but an excellent sense of direction in games. I don’t think it necessarily transfers. I love open world games.

I agree, it’s been pretty bad for a few years now at least.

Anything that challenges the status quo is inevitably going to make some people uncomfortable.

Is there anything like this for kbin?

The IARC ruling […] is intended to assess whether something is a potential hazard or not [… and] does not take into account how much of a product a person can safely consume.

From the article. ^^^

This is something people frequently overlook. A substance may be a “possible carcinogen” and also completely benign at levels any sane person would consume.

Bananas also contain carcinogenic material, but eating bananas is still very much a healthy thing to do. There’s a reason banana equivalent dose is a concept, and “the dose makes the poison” is a common refrain in toxicology.

It sounds like YouTube is running experiments with small groups of users. You may not see anything until it’s rolled out to everyone.

Is His Dark Materials really science fiction?

Such a shame it was cancelled. I guess it was too weird for most people, but I loved it. It was playing with some interesting myths and metaphors.

I tried watching Fringe but I felt that some of the dialogue / character interactions were insufferably bad, cheesy, cliche. Couldn’t get into it.

Westworld season 1 is still one of the best seasons of science fiction television ever, in my opinion of course.

Nutritional yeast is also amazing. Gives it a cheesy flavor, and it’s healthy to boot!

I prefer to airpop it in the microwave and then spritz EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) on afterwards. EVOO is delicious, and unrefined oils like EVOO retain more flavor if you don’t heat them.

The only parts of this video that are relevant to piracy are: 1) does it prevent your ISP from seeing your traffic (it does), and 2) can you trust a VPN when they say they have a “no logging” policy (depends on the VPN but IMO there are several that can be trusted). The rest is just debunking false marketing claims about how VPNs improve your security or whatever.

I cook Jamie Oliver’s “basic tarka dhal” all the time. It doesn’t take that much time in my experience, and being a basic recipe it lends itself to lots of variations. Highly recommend.

I’ve always felt that pair programming is more useful on early stages of a task, where there is enough doubt about implementation details and discussing them is worth.

Is pair programming the right way to address unknowns around implementation? It seems like a brainstorming / whiteboarding session might be a better fit.

“The research has been very clear that cursive writing is a critical life skill in helping young people to express more substantively, to think more critically, and ultimately, to express more authentically,” he said in an interview.

What research? This sounds pretty far fetched to me.
