you shot him right in the hill

I recently tried Aoe II definitive edition. they managed to massacre the UI so much it hurts my eyes... that alone made me issue a refund also £15 for a 25 year old game. you'd expect it to be better in every aspect at the very least

Testurdays are the worst

you guys use plates??

you should look up the brazilian one

it's really annoying how bad this experiment is explained to the general public. the wording generally used is so poor it implies there's something supernatural about the phenomenon

I'm not a physicist, but as far as I understand the principle, any human actively looking at the experiment changes absolutely nothing. what it really postulates is that light behaves as a wave until it is interacted with. at that point, the wave "collapses" and it starts to behave as a particle, positioned somewhere within the probability zone described by the wave initially. when you measure it in any way, using some measuring tool, it inevitably interacts with it

interestingly, anedoctaly, I'm an absolute skeptic about almost everything, including astrology, religion and the such, but this test was so on spot from me I had a real hard time being convinced it was pseudoscience

dirty mike n the boys

I guess I should start answering... what if it's Obama?

that's a beautiful story that happened to me as well

horns up, mate

great post

I feel like a similar thing happens because of social media like Instagram. people constantly lose the opportunity to tell others all about the things they do because they already did that in batch. what could easily become dozens of small conversations with different people, where one could add their own flavour to the story and improve it, making it ever more interesting each time it is told, ends up not happening at all. silent scrolling and tapping instead

on top of that, multimedia usually translates real moments badly - for the better or worse: that giant hill becomes tiny and boring or that perfect angle hides the ugly part of the scene and looks beautiful. not to mention the fact that they are taking away part of enjoying real moments for the sake of creating online content

I, myself, don't do this. but I often travel with people who do and I lost track of the times I meet someone afterwards and start talking about it, only to be stopped with a "oh I saw it all already". and I really can't blame anyone, since it's a very easy trap to fall into and it's even expected of you in some social circles

if only they knew that in the 14th century, millions of lives would have been saved
