We've literally seen the recent birth of a whole new mode of gaming in the form of vr, with its rapidly evolving ui coming with it.

Something I've been wondering is how they handle ventilation with the push towards airtight houses. Co2 buildup is common in such environments. Do they implement heat exchanger ventilation systems or something like that?

The kind that comes from 30 years in a country considered to have "amazing" public transport. Rail is great if you're going long distances, or if traffic is an absolute nightmare. Not so much for the much shorter distances in

Whatever your thoughts on sj itself, I've basically never seen a "social justice consultant" who wasn't a grifter.

The catch is that by rail, a trip can take 40min to an hour. By car it's less than half of that.

My house is unlocked, my packages left on the open and hey, no theft. A high trust society has its benefits.

Oh god no. Why the hell would I want less explicitly defined ads and more native ads on forums. One I can tune out, the other pollutes the entire conversation space.

The truth is an absolute defense against libel, but what happens when that stops being true?

I've always found the lack of context on slavery's history amusing. In our time, it's considered one of the greatest sins. However, if you look just a bit back, it wasn't exclusive to the English-American line, as the tw

Well, it burned down a few cities, that's got to count for something.

There's industry disruption and there's bs like this. If I threw in a random CTD and called it "DISRUPTION" , I'd be rightly laughed out of the room.

While funding is decent, you'd also want to compare to expenses, as well as reserves. The 2020 report did show an overall gain, but this has to be contrasted against the depletion of reserves in the previous year, not to mention the ov

I despise crypto, but telling an underfunded OSS project to abandon scarce funding for what is a relatively minor ideological reason definitely rubs me the wrong way. Rather than demanding them to change, why not find a way to help secure t

Man, I hate the way that anything about vaccine side effects gets flanderized into "ANTIVAXXERS!". However I hate the "educate yourself" movement more, so here I am. (I missed out the "can" though, that's

No clue to be honest. I've seen the finger pointed at progressive handling of crime in SF and Seattle, so I was curious if anyone had a counterexample for this.

Unfortunately not, I'm aware of how the mrna vaccines work. The issue with dengue in particular is a bit of a special case. Infection with a single serotype weakens the body against infection with other serotypes. Now. This poses a cha

Dengue is a disease that vaccination actually makes worse, at least with the ones we have now. I'm wondering how they sidestep those issues.

I'll celebrate junk food all I want, thank you very much. I love the absolute junk heap of fast food, mass produced puddings and cakes and the combini bentos too. The retort pouches and freeze dried meals occupy a special spot in my he

And for the more crazy stuff. I love the pizzaman. 7-11 does a pretty decent negishio pork bento too (not crazy, I just like it.) If they have them, the negitoro maki tends to be pretty decent at all the combinis.

To be honest though, I think the US really screwed itself here. One big issue is that the mentally ill can get to the point where they are no longer of sound mind and should be committed. But involuntary commitment draws flack as well, so t

In the US? Sure. In afghanistan? I'm not so sure. But I think that's besides the point. You'd be a minority in Russia too if you opposed the war in the Ukraine right now. I strongly dislike the lens of morality here, because

That isn't really the gotcha you think it is. The world isn't some simple good/bad binary; one man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist after all. Moreover, when the US went to Afghanistan, I certainly didn&
