⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Baldur's Gate 3 publishing director thinks GTA 6 might have the "clout" to normalise a $100 price tag⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
First point in favor:

I actually think Rockstar is one of the true AAA studios that can justify this kind of pricing, they have such a huge dev team for rockstar flagships and on top of that the quality is unmatched throughout the gaming industry.

We are not talking about Bethesda here, RDR2 was basically a masterpiece.

Counterpoint: they also make more than enough money from GTA online to subsidize the base game cost. They will make many many times over what they spent on game dev and marketing with their online pricing model. So it’s just a further money grab really.

Basically this mutation is shown to protect against malaria, but it causes an issue with producing a molecule needed for the creation of ATP (energy your body needs)

So while they can offer a protective effect to the subject they could need transfusions or other treatment to stay healthy.

Subject 1 & 2 had similar biomarkers, and subject 3 had different markers causing a type of misread that made them transfusion dependent.

That’s my understanding at least

I’ve been playing God Of War Ragnarok and haven’t felt the need really to use the map much at all.

I do find the armor system to be annoying and basically decided to ignore all the gear I pick up, sell it, and upgrade the base items all the way instead because of the buffs the beginning gear gets if you upgrade all the way. All that to say I wish they just had a more robust leveling system instead.

Otherwise minus my deaths (playing on God Of War difficulty ) I’ve been feeling pretty immersed in it.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FCC to declare AI-generated voices in robocalls illegal under existing law⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

Man some of these are funny, bold and ironic

The FCC described the other 12 companies' attached "robocall mitigation plans" as follows:

Humbolt VoIP: "The robocall mitigation plan attached to its certification was a .PNG file depicting an indiscernible object."
National Cloud Communications: "The robocall mitigation plan attached to its certification was a document titled 'Windows Printer Test Page' that was unrelated to robocall mitigation."
Route 66 Broadband: "The robocall mitigation plan attached to its certification consisted of a signed declaration by the Company's CEO presented without additional content or context."
Tech Bizz Solutions: "The robocall mitigation plan attached to its certification contained a letter, unrelated to robocall mitigation, from Harvard Business Services, Inc."
2054235 Alberta: "The robocall mitigation plan attached to its certification contained only the company's business address."
Evernex: "The robocall mitigation plan attached to its certification was a .PNG file that depicted the filer's 'Taxpayer Profile' on a Pakistani government website."
My Taxi Ride: "The robocall mitigation plan attached to its certification was a copy of an FCC public notice titled 'FCC Facilitates Review of Restoring Internet Freedom Record.'" (Restoring Internet Freedom was the title of the FCC's 2017 net neutrality repeal.)
Nervill: The "attachment provided was a signature page on company letterhead with no substantive content or context."
SIA Tet: "The robocall mitigation plan attached to its certification was a letter that stated: 'Unfortunately, we do not have such a documents.'"
Textodog: "The robocall mitigation plan attached to its certification was a .PNG file that depicted a corporate icon."
USA-Connect.net: "The robocall mitigation plan attached to its certification contained only a signature."

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Moderna’s mRNA cancer vaccine works even better than thought⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
You get cancer all the time your body has natural mechanisms of finding and breaking down the cancerous cells. As we age some of these mechanisms start to falter, cells divide, but small errors over time accumulate.

A youth serum is really not the goal, the goal is fixing errors in these systems, maintaining current functions and creating a new mechanism.

This would work like a booster for this mechanisms and effectively make it possible to maintain and improve these systems. The side effect being an increase lifespan to some degree.

I suppose this I just the cancer component, but several other things are still needed on the field of longevity research for a “youth serum” to be viable.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sun Burn⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
To answer yours question Melanin adds a resistant factor to it, but the actual sunburn is caused by actual damage at the cellar level from UVA and UVB rays.

Think of Melanin more like sunblock in that it extends the amount of time before noticeable damage to the sun will happen. While the time for sun damage to accumulate to be what you would call a sunburn might vary from person to person, everyone is still susceptible to UV damage.
