“How far can I go on just local trains” is a fun game to play here in Japan. I’m not sure my body could handle the bus version here, unless the roads of England are very straight and smooth!

If this was reported as a “police chase UFO” story, would a super advanced drone really be the best explanation? I wonder if they were being fooled into thinking they were chasing something that wasn’t really there.

Pretty incredible work. As soon as I heard Homer talk, I got a rush of nostalgia for the original game.

A lot of the posters on hacker news have just mastered the cynical take. It’s an ego booster for people who can’t handle that there are other people out there accomplishing things.

> Unlike other gacha, this isn't a difficult game for just playing casually (which is normally a meta-incentive for you to gamble with the gacha) unless you are doing super-endgame things. Is this really the case? I’ve noticed a lot

I can’t read the article because of the pay wall. But the claims I’ve seen elsewhere basically say even with a perfect vaccine, you’d need something like 90% coverage to try and snuff out delta with vaccines alone because it is so incredibl
