Don't look into a digital deluxe horse's mouth.
Cuz it doesn't have one.

- Comment on Cause and Effect 1 day ago:
Appeal to emotions, rather than logic, and if you pull the right lever, that person will get a bias confirmation, feel smarter for knowing something everyone else doesn't and in some cases, feel less insecure for not knowing enough.
I've met people that have a degree or that are even teaching and have the worst baseless believes. It's only a matter of getting to your levers.

Probably this is yet another case of a journalist spinning yarn out of some poor researcher's paper summary.

If you're interested in TR, then also try the Uncharted collection.
Great looking and it plays without hiccups (had a couple of crashes in specific places due to forcing my GPU).
Note though: has a bumpy start but after the first level it is all smooth sailing.

I commend ms. Thurnberg for turning her fame into something positive, but that hairstyle is slowly turning her into a Master of the Universe.

- Comment on Maniac Mansion's design docs from Ron Gilbert 1 week ago:
I would have said otherwise because a lot of the charm behind MM is the graphics, very limited but also very creative.
After all, there are actual games now that go the distance and create similar looks for their adventures.But after seeing those drawings, now I kind of want a "remastered" version of Maniac Mansion, like they did with Day of The Tentacle.

Iirc elephants too. Megafauna is either very good fighting cancers, living with them (no metastization) or completely immune to it. That's called Peto's paradox, though recently, there was a study that claimed cancer rates are higher than we thought: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2025/feb/bigger-animals-get-more-cancer-defying-decades-old-belief

Yeah, I reread my comment and it can be interpreted either way, but it is definitely the second one.
There are also cats that wouldn't even catch a cold, but the issue is mostly with either stray cats or those that are allowed out.

Thanks! I'll definitely check it. I'm just mad at how the whole internet thing is evolving.

Not as big as they look and less aggressive than other spiders. Possibly the spiders described in this thread are Tigrosa (like in my picture, though that one is obese).
Fun fact: Lycosidae spiders initially had the name of Tarantulas, though that name felled out of use (except on some of the originating languages) in favor of what we know as tarantulas (Theraphosidae/Myalomporhs).
Mediterranean wolf spiders (Lycosa Tarantula) were called Tarantulas, as they were thought they originated from Taranto (a southern place in Italy's boot).
What did people in Taranto do when you got bit by a "Tarantula"? What every sensible person would do: Quickly gather musicians and dance fervently a Tarantella to counter the venom!You have probably heard before the music, as it was prominently featured in The Godfather's wedding.
Side-note: Wolf spiders very seldom bite humans, if they bite is sometimes a dry bite (without venom) and when they bite with venom it is mostly harmless to humans and stings like a wasp[2]. Like with other spiders, most bites are misreported.
Side-note[2]: I am unaware of any Italian folklore dance for wasp stings. - Comment on Who is the enemy? 5 weeks ago:
And anyone in a field related to studying living creatures in nature hate pesticides/herbicides.

That's them filtering VPN ips. If you try jumping to a lesser used server, you'll probably see the site working.
Recently, most internet sites and especially those relying in cloudflare are filtering VPNs, and often blacklisting IPs just because it hurts their bottom-line.
