Fahrenheit temperature scale, scale based on 32° for the freezing point of water and 212° for the boiling point of water, the interval between the two being divided into 180 equal parts. The 18th-century physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit originally took as the zero of his scale the temperature of an equal ice-salt mixture and selected the values of 30° and 90° for the freezing point of water and normal body temperature, respectively; these later were revised to 32° and 96°, but the final scale required an adjustment to 98.6° for the latter value.

Ah, so 32° is when an unknown concentration of human brine freezes, and 98.6° is the average human temperature
What am I even reading any more

Yes, but steam didn’t remove it from your library
- Comment on Cancers can be detected in bloodstream three years prior to diagnosis 1 week ago:
Bit misleading. Tumour-associated antigens can very easily be detected very early. Problem is, these are only associated with cancer, and provide a very high rate of false positives
They’re better used as a stepping stone for further testing, or just seeing how advanced a cancer is
That is to say, I’m assuming that’s what this is about, as i didnt rwad the article. It’s the first thing I thought of when I heard “cancer in bloodstream”, as the other options tend to be a bit more bleak

Or Freetube on pc, a FOSS desktop client
- Comment on What game has the best tutorial, in your opinion? 1 week ago:
The best tutorials are ones that are fun to play both on your first time and subsequent playthroughs
Something like portal, hollow knight or hades

Okay, but slowing everybody down by five seconds doesn’t smooth anything at all. It just shifts the curve five seconds to the right
- Comment on GOG One-Click Mods | New era of modding begins 2 weeks ago:
I can think of a few reasons as to why a website would run ads. I can think of a few reasons as to why a website would limit download speeds
I cannot fathom for any non greed-ridden reason as to why a website would make you wait five seconds before downloading a mod. It’s an inconvenience for the sake of an inconvenience, a problem they made to sell the solution
Of course, we need to keep in mind that they don’t make the mods, they merely host them. Compare the amount of bloat on their website to other, less funded ones such as lovers lab and gamebanana, and it becomes apparent that there’s a money sink somewhere

Because nexus mods is woeful, and their gradual enshittification isn’t a good sign

- Comment on A great disturbance in the Fediverse 3 weeks ago:
This is what I’ve done. I know I’ll have to fully rip the bandaid off at some point, but sometimes you find a program that just won’t run on your system for some reason
A good example is MTG Forge. Despite having a native Linux version, it just crashes every time I try to load a custom deck. Works perfectly on my windows version tho

With the new fantasy life game releasing, I’ve started playing through the original 3ds game
I was worried it might not hold up well to modern standards, but no, it’s even better than I remember

This game was one of the games that defined my childhood. I was so surprised when I found out it was getting a sequel, let alone that sequel actually being good

Concerned ape said he wouldn’t be updating SDV any more, or at least until haunted chocolatier was out, so I thought it’d be a good idea to dust off the old mod collection and start a new farm
- Comment on the young always think they have all the right answers but THIS eventually happens 5 weeks ago:
but I hurt his feelings, so I had to apologize to him
This happens way too commonly for me. My mum or dad do something ludicrous, I call them out for it, they can’t retort anything I’ve said, they get butthurt, the other comes to me telling me I need to apologise, I do, they learn nothing, rinse repeat
I failed one subject in my final year of uni so I had to repeat a year only doing that one subject, and they convinced me to move back in because I wasn’t doing much. Very stupid move on my part. I’m glad I’m out. Nice to catch up with them but oh boy it’s terrible living with them

- Comment on doctors 1 month ago:
When talking about obese insividuals, the fat very easily gets in the way of surgery. Compared to a healthy patient the risk of complications during surgery is much greater and really not worth chancing it (most if the time)

I’d there’s one thing I’ve learned in all my studies, it’s that weight los drugs are shiiiiiit
Not because they don’t work, but because a general effect like “weight loss” usually comes with more than a few downsides
