  • Hehe, that doorknob. I can see why it has to be closer to her hands when the door is open, but it makes you wonder at the mechanics of it. How much did she have to pay someone to rig it up that way, or did she work it out herself?

  • The worst part is, if the sign only said the instant death part, it would be a worse deterrent. Like, despite how funny it is to also have a fine, it's a much more useful sign like this.

  • As an add-on to this, some people are inherently better at meditation to start with. So hearing from other people how short their journey was from "meditation is just a waste of time" to "after some practice it started to be more effective" can be really discouraging for people where that journey can be years. But everyone can get good at meditating. And generally, the harder or more useless it seems to start out, the more you need what it offers.

  • The missing relevance in the food ones is that those are the amounts of "undiluted" and "chemically available" versions of those specific poisons it would take.

    For the water, there is currently no exact known amount of water that is considered a fatal overdose, but the amount she quoted is the smallest known/documented quantity to have "worked" at least once. It usually takes much more. She probably asked AI.

    I would imagine, despite the evocative way he edited this video, he probably didn't just take her at her word and then see if she was right. It would be very easy to disprove her in words, but if capable, certainly hold more weight to disprove her in video format, knowing he was safe the whole time.

  • Well, partially a dig on the "weird" "creepy" people that inherited a castle and either rarely or never left it. But also a bunch of generic "other"ing was bundled into it too. Similar to witches, just the poorer, femaler version of "doesn't want to participate in society"(I mean the broad strokes of an older woman living out in a hut in the woods with her cat, is actually a pretty normal and understandable thing)... people still make up all kinds of scary versions of who the neighbourhood shut-in must be, and why they don't leave their house. What kinds of scary things those people must be up to.

    It's all the same stuff, shut-ins are just on the internet now, so we talk to other people now. But our behaviours haven't changed.

  • I mean, the ideas that made people write books about vampires had to come from somewhere, and it's not like neurodivergent behaviours are new.

    It's not that we are like vampires... it's that vampires are like us.

  • Overall is that even a deal over a used headset? Even a fully featured non-stripped down one? Like given what features his headset does have, it's comparable to some pretty old headsets... and it likely does even those bare minimum features more poorly than an older used headset would. Not to mention comfort.

    Like a 10 year old Rift CV1 has almost as much resolution at 90hz/fps instead of 60. And while it's lenses would be relatively terrible now, they were pretty much the best option of their day, and likely still better than whatever this dude sourced. Not to mention their motion to photon was around 12 ms. The absolute best result this guy can hope for is 16.6ms, and that's only if everything else in the pipeline is faster than the screens refresh rate... maybe it is... but I wouldn't bet on it personally.

    I'm sure it was a fun project though.

  • There is also Hero's Hour, a fresh(relatively) indie take on the HoMM series. One major difference that might be polarising is that every unit is displayed rather than being a single stack, and combat happens live rather than in turns. But you can set it super slow and pause too if need be.

    I generally hate RTS, but I really enjoyed it. It's got a fair bit of content. And so many factions that are all quite different from each other.

    I have a fairly decent computer(4070s and a 7800x3d), it took about 100'000 units in active combat to start slowing it down. So no worries about how big HoMM armies can get and if it could run them all live. It can. Most of those units had to be summons, as it would take a pretty high levelled hero to have the stats necessary to field more than 10k units.

  • Your specific wording is telling it to make up an answer.

    What "would" this word mean? Implying it doesn't mean anything currently, so guess a meaning for it.

    But yes, in general always assume they don't know what they are saying, as they aren't really capable of knowing. They do a really good job of mimicking knowledge, but they don't actually know.

    How long until someone is allowed to make a safety can opener with a long crank?
