I had a similar experience. For the month or so I was hooked, I felt attached in a way I haven't felt to a video game since I was a teenager. It almost felt sad when my interest dropped, like I lost something valuable.

What are you referring to? I live in Sweden, and have not seen news regarding police brutality during the BLM protests.

For any feature this bird and other birds have in common to have come later, they would have to have evolved twice. This could be the case for some features, but is highly unlikely to be responsible for large part of the similarities.

Human experiments often have a net positive, but that doesn't mean they're not highly unethical.

Perhaps, but seeing as Sweden has had quite large changes in behavior (most people who can work from home, do; people are much better at washing their hands; the subways of Stockholm are significantly less crowded, going from being crowded

Sweden has a low population density yes, but that's irrelevant - most is unpopulated land, which doesn't have an effect. If you count Greenland when measuring the population density of Denmark, it's super low, but that would

And, I suppose, the centripetal force caused by the rotation. But maybe that is the whole reason for earth being a spheroid? And correct me if I'm wrong, but the local depth of the sea should not matter, as water would fill the depth b

I don't think the comparison with the surrounding land mass is relevant here. The landmass might have a much larger effect than the ice, but the landmass will not melt. While my mental image considers the water to envelop the world as

I always found this fascinating. The enormous shift in physics that occurred in the early 20th century must have been so exciting to experience first hand.

Don't they, though? The path of an orbit in vacuum should follow pi, unless coordinates are discrete (which they might be, I suppose)

How do you mean? When you are not moving but only rotating, how can it rise and set apart from the world rotating around the sun?

No analogy is ever perfect, but auto immunity seems to be a good extension to cover anxiety: identifying a threat from a disease or a noisy bush is helpful, but overfitting reality to find threats that aren't there is the opposite.

Fair point - almost every vegetable plant has a fruit, but not every vegetable is.

I read up on these things some time ago, and what amused me the most is that while almost every vegetable is a fruit, the Juniper berry is, in fact, a cone.

> Main takeaway, very interesting analogy. Ant colonies are great examples of complex systems with emergent large-scale behavior. Indeed the same could be said about networks of neurons. Interesting to think of an ant colony as the sum o

This has always been my thought as well, and I have never gotten a good explanation as to why it's wrong. If anyone has one I would love to hear it.

That was really cool. Tried to tap along and noted how my rythm increased, but changed how many taps per beat I did over time.

I have partial temporal lobe seizures as well. My primary symptom, which is visible from the outside that is, is that I lose the ability to use language. If I try talking, it just becomes a mangled mess of words in English and Swedish. I al

I am not trying to say that I was happy, during those weeks of hauling a sledge across an ice-sheet in the dead of winter. I was hungry, overstrained, and often anxious, and it all got worse the longer it went on. I certainly wasn't h
