  • Do stretches, my friend. World of difference so long as you don't have some underlying musculoskeletal or pain issue. You don't have to exercise to feel decent, but stretching is absolutely necessary. If you don't know where to begin, try some yoga sets, and don't worry about hitting the perfect pose.

  • Yes, and USB-C is barely a decade old. A single standard, about a universal by name port. Computer science, y'know the thing it's all meant to benefit, is over a century old. There is a MOUNTAIN of standards we're all standing on, whether or not you care to admit it.

  • No, you misunderstand the scope of standards I'm referencing. Computer science goes back over a century, yet you're attempting to tell me there are no established standards based on something that's barely even a decade old as a consumer product standard.

  • Because they are not, in fact, older than the universe. That is literally, definitionally impossible.

    The age of objects are derrived from simplified equations that proximate real-world phenomina. They're mathematical models, not absolute facts. When an object appears to be "older than the universe", it can mean many specific things, like the acceleration of the expansion of the universe changes over time when most mathematical models do not account for that. It could mean the object is simply further away than we expect to be able to see. It could mean it's simply traveling away from us in some uniquely fast way.

    Basically, it means the mathematical model used to derive how "old" the object is, is likely wrong in some way, or that the measurements taken may have inaccurate results, both of which are absolutely and wholly normal for science. Again, they're mathematical models, based on measured observation, not absolute universal truths. There are many, many, many ways data can both be gathered incorrectly or analyzed incorrectly, not even requiring anyone to make a mistake. Science at the fringe of knowledge is very difficult, and requires rigerous testing and validation before it should be trusted. NEVER trust clickbait BS, especially if it's not directly from a scientist's mouth.

    We already know our mathematical models are inaccurate in several ways (see dark matter and dark energy for the obvious ones). We just need to figure out how and why they are wrong.

  • No way, it's a MASSIVE pile of standards. The entire internet and networking in general only functions because of standards. HTML5's main benefit was standardizing a ton of BS everyone was playing around with.

    What isn't standard are the few higher level frameworks and BS people are playing around with, but saying that's all of the computer industry is like that old meme of Homer getting pulled most of the way up the mountain by sherpas in a sleeping bag...

  • No, it crops up plenty often when many of the big enemies who actually trigger the fight progression can soak up an entire set of an ammo type without dying.

    Sure, there was usually plenty of options to eventually get back to slaying, but the point is you had to play a meta game of managing your ammo and weapons when by the game's lore itself, the doom slayer is supposed to be a raging unstoppable beast.

    It's not about things literally becoming impossible, but the absolute interruption to "ripping and tearing" if you had even a momentary lapse of playing the meta game.

  • It's existed long enough that serious effects would've been obvious by now. Multiple generations have already passed. Multiple. It is already clearly not as serious as lead or mercury regardless of what effects are found.

  • You're just ignorantly wrong on that one. Way to completely fail to learn the lessons of MLK Jr. A person very much interested in being kind to others.

    "He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.”

    and many other quotes with a similar glint. How was his kindness rewarded? (hint: he was murdered in front of his own house) Evil people DO NOT deserve kindness. Even Jesus went whipping up on shitheads trying to turn a profit in the church.

    Only a complete fool willing to sit by and watch the world burn allows terrible people to march around with torches to set things alight.

  • Natural in no way what so ever should imply more healthy. Especially in the context of lead and mercury.

    In a similar vein, asbestos is "all natural", especially compared to fiber glass and foam, but it's still unhealthy as fuck.

  • Yes, and she gave Ryan Johnson full control and backed up his lameass girlboss and "subverting expectation" BS in pressers after.

    She even joined in on calling everyone that said the sucky movie sucked misogynists.

  • The entire reason the particles can come in to existance is because the black hole curves spacetime enough to 'eat' one of the pair. It only exists because of the black hole. The particle leaving the black hole takes energy away because that area of spacetime now has less energy in it, meaning the black hole shrinks. The black hole isn't magically adding energy to the space around it in order to create these pairs.

    If you throw a ball away from you, yes you feel the force, but now you've sent a bunch of energy away from yourself in the ball. In effect, the black hole is 'throwing' particles away from itself by the simple act of eating part of the spawned particles.

    I've explained it poorly, but PBS Spacetime has several great episodes on the specific phenominon.

  • The evaporation increases because spacetime is bent more rapidly by smaller black holes than big ones. It's the same reason you can enter a supermassive black hole without being spaghettified, because the curvature never reaches a point where there's a huge difference between your feet and head, sort of thing.

    That curvature drives the evaporation rate, because the particles flying off are virtual particles whos partner fell in to the black hole with it flying outward. That happens far less often when the curvature is so low that any given point around the black hole is almost flat spacetime.

  • IMO, it was more about how it forced you to focus on other elements than demon slaying. Especially with how some enemies are only really vulnerable to one weapon. So, if you even had a momentary lapse of planning, it was a, "shit! where's the nearest scrub mob?!" when you ran out of certain ammo, which just completely pops the flow of combat.

    It wasn't so bad later on when you had enough weapons to cycle through, but early on when on Nightmare or worse, enemies just soaked up too much damage for how tiny the ammo capacity was. It was a game of inventory management, not demon slaying.

  • Fully agreed. I HATED the game while going through on Nightmare, at least until I got all of the weapons so then I finally had enough freaking ammo. They should've left the weakpoint stuff as the motive for switching weapons, not literally fucking the player over with low ammo. I started enjoying it by the end when I could actually fully engage with how it was designed, but they royally failed to make that design work out for how the game progresses from the beginning.
