I wonder if it's one of those kinds of deaths that just makes the local paper unless they take out a lot of people with them.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7847085/ article discussing 21 fatal heart attacks while driving during a period of time in china

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23343022/ article discussing the results of the Finnish Road Accident Investigation Teams (RAITs) on fMVAs in Finland during 2008-2009. 11% of these were because of "disease attack."

Severe injuries may mask the role of an initial disease attack.

These articles make it seem like unless there's careful investigation after the fact, it's very difficult to know for sure if illness caused the accident.

So it probably is a daily occurance, depending on how many fatal accidents happen in your country. (and depending on a million other factors, most likely)

I appreciate them and their work so much. They must all have a thick skin to deal with users every time stuff is broken.

I've heard them called "search-action" games before, for people who dislike "metroidvania."

I had a weird pluto-esque reaction, like, 'aw, but dimes are my favorite!' I didn't even know I had a favorite. Why???

I think if it'd be more practical to get rid of them, we should.

Probably better to use a more general community for the time being, yeah

I was curious if there was an industry reason why people don't believe she participates in writing her songs, since I don't know much about her or the industry.

The conversation here is interesting, and now I know very slightly more than I did! I do still feel like if she added one word to all of those songs, she's written at least one total song, haha. Plus the stuff that's more personal.

edit: i meant to say i genuinely appreciate your response

It might be nice to have a community or something where people link interesting blog posts or blogs. Maybe there is one? (plz share the link if there is!) I always used to find new blogs from people who did like weekly good post round-ups.

She embodies how i felt as a kid wearing a slightly itchy shirt.

I had one cat who didn't like the harness but once he associated it with outside time, he'd run over and get excited when he saw us get it out.

just read it as 'flow market,' realized it was german, and looked up the word. it doesn't look weird at first glance.

I hate inventory management, because it takes away from the fun parts of the game. When it is the game, they've made the effort to make it fun (or it's just a bad game). If you like puzzle games, an inventory managenent game is just one of those, basically. It stands on how good the puzzles are.

I thought the cropping was just because the op was making a 69 joke

i'm curious, too. the vague idea i got was that the app just launched, people are pissed at meta, and the word pixelfed was banned on a site, causing a Streisand effect. i could just be spreading rumors, though.

I recently adopted a pet, and I keep wondering which new social media can replace what facebook offers to animal shelters and other charity orgs. Like, so long as they get that stream of donations, adoptions, and volunteers directly from facebook, they aren't leaving without hurting their #1 priority.

I learned pretty recently that facial expressions are part of ASL and can change a sign's meaning.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/opinion-criticizing-sign-language-interpreters-195855277.html here's an opinion article that gets into this current controversy more.

But, on the facial expression question, these links are more about that:

The past 30 years of linguistic research on sign languages have revealed that there are facial expressions which are used together with manual signs and function as phonological features, morphemes, and syntactic/prosodic markers, for example brow raising marking conditional clauses (Liddell, 1980; Dachkovsky and Sandler, 2009). These facial expressions are clearly communicative in nature and they are used in combination with other meaningful movements (those of the hands).

from: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3593340/

Basically, facial expressions are grammar in ASL. There are specific meanings assigned to them, which is different than the more subtle nuance that would've been my first guess too, a while ago.

almost bought tchia on sale but i have too many real life expenses right now

Interesting to read what the modding community has been doing with old handholds.

Companies were comparatively quiet during pride last year, and i saw some people pointing out that as annoying as corperations are, it is a really bad sign when they back away, and what it signals for lgbt progress. This rollback is an even worse sign, since it has a real effect on people trying to get jobs and keep living.

I dunno but I didn't have one for a while and then i did and the temperature difference is noticable. You can also swap out the glass pane for a screen in the summer.

The world’s richest man, Musk prefers to pay less for talent and no surprise there. What is yet unknown is how MAGA will react when Trump repeatedly kicks them to the curb.

I am really curious about this, too.
