Are there at least two front facing cameras for depth perception?

None of them.

Well... Not on purpose. I could totally see someone blurting the gossip in the school cafeteria.

She's a high school teacher. I'm gonna guess the students figured it out first.

My guess is that some genres are going to be more problematic due to more extensive use of anti cheat. What are some of the games you're having trouble with?

That's the mean (average), not the median (middle).

Median is the one where half the numbers are smaller and half are bigger. If only the top income changes, the median stays the same. The mean goes up.

This kills the universe.

Well... if you want most of the main story but without the gameplay, someone had made a movie out of the cutscenes awhile back.

I ended up quitting on the final boss. Partly because I was gut punched by an unexpected plot point just prior. But also because it was the third big fight since the last save point and I got lost on the mechanics. I caught the ending through the movie I found.

Also, the other good Ion Storm game, Anachronox.

I haven't played it in 20 years and still remember some great moments.

8pm thru 12am is prime time for streaming. Netflix would need to pivot or go out of business.

Since most phones networks now operate over IP, overnight customer service would break. The US can no longer use call centers in India for daytime call centers.

Batch jobs requiring Internet access can no longer run overnight. Instead they would need to run during the day, tying up bandwidth and CPU for other users. System engineers would need to take this into consideration.

It would be more difficult to coordinate with friends when going out at night. You could no longer order an Uber at 2am if you're drunk off your ass. DWI events would increase.

Well I guess these aren't sex stones.

What is a sex stone, you may ask?

It's a fucking rock.

Once you get past their boring singles, Nickelback isn't all that bad.

Wyatt was pulled to safety by a team from the Grand Canyon National Park, who rappelled down a cliff after deciding a helicopter rescue would not be possible due to the terrain.

If this were a plot point in a movie, I would have called it a contrived excuse to have the heroes scale a rock wall.

"One point twenty one jigawatts!"

Obligatory xkcd

I get the reasoning for excluding wine and beer, but flour?

Idle games or incremental games are my go-to for casual play. At the moment I'm playing through NGU Idle mainly because It's a super slow burn but unlocks lots of goofy features over time. I've been progressing for a couple years now.

The video is TL;DW for me right now, but there's a comment on the video which is fascinating enough on its own to pique my interest:

Back in 1997, a nasty October storm knocked down some power lines near my home. One of our dogs ended up getting her back legs paralyzed after going outside and had to be put down. We thought she stepped on a downed line, but after seeing your demonstration with the Hulk Hogan figure, I think I have a better understanding of what happened. Just going near the downed line would have been enough to do the damage.

In very rare cases (nuclear fusion) the water is destroyed into its primitive elements

Simple electrolysis will split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen.

Nuclear reactions will change the atoms, but you don't have to go that far to break down water.

That's a really good illustration of scale. The last time i saw a demo like this it used 3D rendered cubes. There's something wonderful about using an actual, physical medium for this.

Well... at least no one was hurt.
