What, how is this a win? Three authors lost a lawsuit to an AI firm using their works.

Any good books in there?

This looks really fun! I look forward to seeing more :)

Hhhhmmm my initial assumption was that the cells in your donated testicles would eventually be replaced by those with the host’s DNA. But apparently I’m wrong - after transplants you have to take immunosuppressants because the donated organs stay genetically foreign for the rest of your life. So yes, it seems like the sperm would carry your genes.

Thanks, yeah it does sound like the best option! Thanks for the link :)

Would you use 50/50 distilled to tap water for example?

Yeah it might be a good idea to take it apart. I don’t think the head or screen is the issue, as once the water starts flowing (after using the switching trick) everything flows well through the head. I’ll have a look into puck screens though!

Thanks for this - I could certainly take it apart and try and clean everything individually. Are there any particular guides you used when doing this?

What kind of water do you use now? Distilled or through a brita filter?

I think it might be real. It looks a lot like some of the images here: https://99percentinvisible.org/article/botanical-imperative-why-cellular-network-towers-get-disguised-as-trees/

Are you a bot? 🤔

Lmao that’s amazing. If I were that person I’d had found it funny. Hopefully it’s not too embarrassing a memory for you!

That’s fascinating. Does an animal finding an item they buried a week ago not constitute an episodic memory? Considering they’d basically have to retrace their steps. Is ‘remembering the relevant information’ not akin to memory of an event?

Whoa that’s really neat! Seeing this in person must’ve been trippy.

I think you’re taking the meaning too far. It’s not that someone in a bad position is not allowed to feel bad. Rather, you have to consider the context in each case. A friend could be having a hard time, and even if your situation is technically worse, that doesn’t invalidate theirs. Because if you are willing to invalidate your friend’s difficulties, by that same token you could say your own are invalidated by those in an even worse position than yours.

Essentially I’m saying that everyone’s life is different and their worries are valid. Yes, perhaps it can be a touch tone-deaf for one person in a privileged position to complain about something relatively trivial. But for someone to assert that their situation is infinitely more important, and that their friend shouldn’t be allowed to complain about their own experiences… it reeks of envy and narcissism.

I thought both games were excellent, but yes there was definitely something about BOTW that set it apart. In addition to what you’ve said, I think it’s partially that BOTW was such a unique experience the first time through - little things like the stamina meter for climbing, the cooking to help you craft items that warm you up etc. Discovering these features and setting off in whichever direction you fancied was a joy. TOTK didn’t have this same joy, as I already knew about these mechanics. And it felt like there was much more of a push to get the player to go in a specific direction, rather than leaving the exploration up to them.

I reckon they probably did the best job they could’ve with a sequel, but it was never going to be possible to live up to BOTW.

Glad to see this game mentioned! I played it last year and it was pure fun throughout. Super charming

Do 4D beings have 3D puzzles that would have the same issue for us? 🤔

I guess personally I wouldn’t think of it in such concrete terms. It would be more like a rolling memory of what I viewed last. I.e. ‘ah I’ve just watched episodes 1, 2 and 3, and now I’ll watch episode 1 again’. The last two episodes will naturally be clearer in my recent memory, so in effect I’m watching them in the predetermined chunks.

But maybe that scenario would break down once you get onto the third viewing of episode 1 and your memories of when you viewed what become muddled xD

Why not? It’s the same thing, you just have to change your frame of reference as to which episode was ‘first’ for each permutation

Oh I missed that! But wait, where you can buy half an avocado? Why would you only want half?
