Looks like budget Witcher 2 game. Huge amount of jank too.
- Comment on Are you sure it's not because you're under 6' tall? 6 months ago:
The biggest reason to ditch imperial and go metric.
5’11” short vs 180cm tall 6ft tall vs 183cm try hard
- Comment on The large height difference between the sexes suggests that in northern Europe boys were fed better than girls 6 months ago:
all indications point to northern boys having been fed better than their female counterparts.
What a weird turn of phrase.
- Comment on What did you have for breakfast this morning? 7 months ago:
Archer and Shrens bromance was so fun to watch.
STE is seriously underappreciated by trekkes. Too bad they never released a final episode.
- Comment on The Silt Striders always made me feel kinda uncomfortable, anyone else? 7 months ago:
I find them fascinating. I like the sounds they make and the way it blends into the ambience. Kind of like whale sounds, except on land.
Somewhere I saw an animation of them walking- now that was creepy.
- Comment on Doctors couldn't operate on my tumour, but this robot did — and it may have saved my life 9 months ago:
This, this times 100.
I don’t know whether author has misunderstood what the Da Vinci is or whether he is intentionally misinforming his readers. From the way the article is written, one might have gotten n impression that it is the robot doing the surgery by itself. Which is total nonsense, of course.
Da Vinci is a system controlled by a surgeon-a human being- at the console. It allows procedures that would be otherwise difficult or more invasive, due to its three robotic arms being smaller size than human hands. Additionally, it eliminates tremor of real human hands, and the console itself has a sort of “pseudo-3D” screen, which grats depth perception compared to, say, laparoscopic surgical screens.
It’s been incredible tool in treatment many areas of human surgery, notably prostate cancer surgery and hysterectomy, among others. And it takes an experienced surgeon to operate it.
