They do indeed have more protein. The conclusion that it’s for them to fall slower seems to be just a hypothesis

Are they though? I have about 75% of them so far and it’s admittedly been a while since I played the first one, but most of them seem to have the same basic effects.

The keepsakes having art placeholders confuses me. Why didn’t they just reuse the keepsake art from the first one?

Russia has a history of bombing its own people for propaganda.
- Comment on Cyberattack forces major US health care network to divert ambulances from hospitals 6 months ago:
The healthcare industry has as much incentive as the financial industry to maintain a high security environment. Fines for exposing PHI can be astronomical if a large number of records are compromised.
This is a new cold war that we’ve been in for a while now. Government backed hacker groups from foreign nations are constantly targeting high profile organizations. Healthcare, Finance, and Government are three of the top targets.
- Comment on Did Stanford just prototype the future of AR glasses? 6 months ago:
Agreed. The form factor is right. AR technology will only reach the possibility of mass adoption when it can fit in/on the existing eye-glasses form factor.

It’s also focused on x-rays instead of the visible spectrum. I would hazard a guess that the resolution requirements for this are vastly different in scale compared to photography.

No matter how much you simp, big pony boy Putin isn’t going to pick you for his pony play. Move on, plenty of other big hard father daddies out there for you.

Alien hand syndrome makes me believe this. Usually occurs when something traumatic happens to the brain. The way it’s described seems like the dominant consciousness losing control of that motor function to the lesser consciousness.

What a wonderful rabbit hole to go down. My takeaways are it could possibly be used for knitting, but traditional spool knitting that the Grandma uses in the video doesn’t show up in history until the 1500s. If the Romans did use it for gloves then knitting has been around much longer than we have evidence of or they were using a different method with the dodecahedron.

- Comment on OpenAI Creates a Voice Cloning AI Tool, Not Available for the Public Yet. 6 months ago:
I’m struggling to think of any legitimate use cases that actually benefit society. I can only think of nefarious uses for this technology.
I know Hollywood is interested in it for maintaining the legacy of iconic voices in established IPs like James Earl Jones in Star Wars, but I don’t think that benefits society overall. It is neat to potentially have his voice show up in future projects, but that feels like more of a gimmick to justify the technology rather than an actual need.
- Comment on Netflix Doc ‘What Jennifer Did’ Uses AI Images to Create False Historical Record 7 months ago:
This is how I’m leaning too. If done appropriately this should be no different than “this is a reenactment of events” seen in 90s and 00s true crime shows.
The big challenge is getting the content creators to respect that template and not bury the disclosure in the credits.

Dave Ramsey is not a finance guru. He’s a corporate whore who is paid to shill whatever narrative he’s told to.
- Comment on The Fallout TV show's Season 1 is now available to stream 7 months ago:
I also just finished episode one. I agree, there are definitely signs they are trying to be quirky like the old man saying “Get back here! Well that didn’t go as expected” when she left the vault, but I think they need to lean into it more. Something is just a little off.
I still enjoyed it though!

If Constellation on Apple TV is right, then it’s an indication that the person has become quantum entangled with their alternative self in another universe.
Good show btw if you are looking for something more psychological with a sci-fi background.
- Comment on Can you un-smart a smart tv? 8 months ago:
If you’re using it as a dumb TV, unless it shipped some critical firmware issue that prevents core functions from working (like HDMI input, switching inputs, etc) there shouldn’t ever be a reason to update it out of the box.
I’ve used smart TV’s for 10+ years now and figured this out of the awful experience from the first one. Never had any issues with the ones I’ve never connected to the Internet.

If you make something and give it away for free, that’s fine.
If you make something and I sell it to the masses for a profit without your permission that’s theft.
