Another fun similar idea is drunk chess. Each piece has a value(for example pawns is 1), there are tables you can look up it’s standard in chess. Each piece you take, you take its value in shots(highly recommend shots of beer). There are strategies this brings up. For example your opponent hangs a queen in early game, you can take it but now you would need to 6 shots making you likely to mess up the late game.

So one of the reasons I’m moving is to get away from this. I have this intersection by my apartment. A few hundred feet behind the assassin is a highway intersection, and the road the victim is coming from has 4 huge apartment complexes.
There is no light. Making a left there(which leads to a outdoor mall) during rush hour requires atleast 3 virgin sacrifices…

Ok, I’m just curious, do you have a source for that soil antidepressants statement? Not being argumentative, legit want to read the source.

See the corroding part scares me. Actual electrodes planted in the brain should never corrode. The company I work for actually makes brain implants(no, not nueralink) so I know it’s possible.
That stuff is EXPENSIVE though … So he must of cheaped out with a cheaper metal and that’s why it corroded.

I am from the USA and I agree with the other poster that our Healthcare is crap. That said it annoying to see people bring stuff like that up in topics completely unrelated. Especially it’s not like we have a choice where we were born and most of us only have limited abilities to change Healthcare system through votes.
It would be like saying “what’s the u in colour for? U are never getting back your plundered treasures we stole?” to somebody in England asking about learning to paint.

- Comment on We're all comparing our insides to everyone's outsides. 5 months ago:
I think what they are going for is you know all your secrets and insecurities. You might know what you look like before make up, or as you decompress from a hard day of work. You might wear baggy shirt to cover a small belly. You might wear flowing dresses because you don’t like your ass.
You compare that to people who wear yoga pants because they are proud of their ass. Or people who spent 45 minutes doing their hair and makeup that morning. You might see a guy with his shirt off because he spent hours in the gym working on his abs.
You know how you act/look your worst at home alone. You compare to how others look when they are out in public and dressed to impress.
- Comment on Microsoft ending support for Windows 10 could send 240 million PCs to landfills: Report - CNA 6 months ago:
In this case I do partially agree with it. They are for medical implants and since the expected lifetime of the device is 10 years we need to be able to support them for 10 years after the last surgery.
If the dog eats your controller which allows you to turn on and off your device we need to be able to sell you a new controller and NOT tell you “sorry, you need to spend several hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills to replace the device and go through a traumatic surgery to install it”
Now optimally my company would make a modern program that duplicates the technology but is compatible with modern computers but since are no longer making money on these old devices they don’t want to invest the time and money. So yeah…

I work in a field that is considered by many high tech. I have personally seen a system in use today that duel boots windows 2000 and windows 98.
The product it’s used by is old generations and the system does not have any network access but still must be supported by government regulation for several more years…
- Comment on Is there a place where you can request code reviews on opensource software? 7 months ago:
Something like c sharp acedemy would be kinda cool. Basically do some beginner projects with good code reviews you get a “belt”. That belt allows you to review the beginner projects as you work on intermediate projects. Then you complete those and get another belt that let’s you do advanced projects and review the intermediate projects others submitted.

- Comment on Spinal implant allows Parkinson’s patient to walk for miles 7 months ago:
You are almost completely correct. It does have wireless charging but like your cell phone eventually the life of a rechargeable battery wears and needs to be replaced.
That you are wrong about the last part. Our latest two generations actually use ipads for the doctors and iphones for the patient. I don’t know too much about the security on them as that’s my area of knowledge. That said unlike a pacemaker our devices don’t keep people alive. They lessen movement disorders and reduce pain but people won’t die if they get turned off.
