Study finds smartphone bans in Dutch schools improved focus
  • Yes, but there's a huge degree of bias whenever you ask people anything. Obviously teachers are going to think phones are detrimental to class focus, and thus they're more likely to say their ban helped with that same focus

    Same thing If you asked students, but reversed

  • I honestly get where they were coming from. My "I couldn't finish it because it made me too sad" was oyasumi punpun

    I only finished the second of 13 total volumes and I wasn't tearing up or anything, but I developed a sense of... dysphoric dread, I guess, from reading it

  • Who's the dickhead back there?

  • Ask the crickets
  • Fahrenheit temperature scale, scale based on 32° for the freezing point of water and 212° for the boiling point of water, the interval between the two being divided into 180 equal parts. The 18th-century physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit originally took as the zero of his scale the temperature of an equal ice-salt mixture and selected the values of 30° and 90° for the freezing point of water and normal body temperature, respectively; these later were revised to 32° and 96°, but the final scale required an adjustment to 98.6° for the latter value.

  • Ask the crickets
  • Ah, so 32° is when an unknown concentration of human brine freezes, and 98.6° is the average human temperature

    What am I even reading any more

  • Cancers can be detected in bloodstream three years prior to diagnosis
  • Bit misleading. Tumour-associated antigens can very easily be detected very early. Problem is, these are only associated with cancer, and provide a very high rate of false positives

    They're better used as a stepping stone for further testing, or just seeing how advanced a cancer is

    That is to say, I'm assuming that's what this is about, as i didnt rwad the article. It's the first thing I thought of when I heard "cancer in bloodstream", as the other options tend to be a bit more bleak

    Edit: they're talking about cancer "shedding genetic material", which I hate how general they're being. Probably talking about proto oncogenes from dead tumour debris, but seems different to what I was expecting

  • The thing is, if a game gave me a difficulty option, I probably wouldn't play the game on the "ballbustingly hard" option that gives me those highs you get in soulslikes after beating a seemingly impossible boss

  • What game has the best tutorial, in your opinion?
  • The best tutorials are ones that are fun to play both on your first time and subsequent playthroughs

    Something like portal, hollow knight or hades

  • Okay, but slowing everybody down by five seconds doesn't smooth anything at all. It just shifts the curve five seconds to the right

  • I can think of a few reasons as to why a website would run ads. I can think of a few reasons as to why a website would limit download speeds

    I cannot fathom for any non greed-ridden reason as to why a website would make you wait five seconds before downloading a mod. It's an inconvenience for the sake of an inconvenience, a problem they made to sell the solution

    Of course, we need to keep in mind that they don't make the mods, they merely host them. Compare the amount of bloat on their website to other, less funded ones such as lovers lab and gamebanana, and it becomes apparent that there's a money sink somewhere

    Just had my morning electrolytes

    When I wake up I'm really dehydrated, so a cup of electrolytes is surprisingly helpful

    They also taste good
