Skill based matchmaking makes slippi viable
Some games, especially melee and starcraft, are the opposite of fun for at least one player (but usually both) if the skill difference between players is too large.
nobody wants to work anymore
While ER visits for COVID increased 14.7% in the past week nationally, they still only account for 0.7% of ER visits, according to CDC.
How long has it been since hospitals were required to report covid cases/admissions?
how bad could it be at that level of dilution
it's not just methamphetamine but also its incompletely combusted products (some of which are certainly carcinogenic) that one is inhaling when smelling these fumes
As a REDACTED who has published in a few neuroscience journals over the years, this was one of the most annoying articles I've ever read. It abuses language and deliberately misrepresents (or misunderstands?) certain terms of art.
As an example,
That is all well and good if we functioned as computers do, but McBeath and his colleagues gave a simpler account: to catch the ball, the player simply needs to keep moving in a way that keeps the ball in a constant visual relationship with respect to home plate and the surrounding scenery (technically, in a ‘linear optical trajectory’). This might sound complicated, but it is actually incredibly simple, and completely free of computations, representations and algorithms.
The neuronal circuitry that accomplishes the solution to this task (i.e., controlling the muscles to catch the ball), if it's actually doing some physical work to coordinate movement in in a way that satisfies the condition given, is definitionally doing computation and information processing. Sure, there aren't algorithms in the usual way people think about them, but the brain in question almost surely has a noisy/fuzzy representation of its vision and its own position in space if not also that of the ball they're trying to catch.
For another example,
no image of the dollar bill has in any sense been ‘stored’ in Jinny’s brain
Maybe there's some neat philosophy behind the seemingly strategic ignorance of precisely what certain terms of art mean, but I can't see past the obvious failure to articulate the what the scientific theories in question purport nominally to be able to access it.
help?
trying to take advantage of your professor's weebish tendencies by composing your argument with familiar symbols is academic dishonesty
I'm confused. Were the pro israel mob trying to say something like "hamas kills babies" or were they dabbing on people who know about israel's lure tactics with this kind of sound?

o7 to our front line owls and humans fighting against the expansion of the automobile infrastructure monstrosity
(archive.ph)
“Interstate 11 would decimate habitat for cactus ferruginous pygmy owls, who play a vital role in maintaining the health of the Sonoran Desert,” Russ McSpadden, a Southwest conservation advocate at the Center for Biological Diversity, said in a press statement. “These small but fierce birds nest and raise their young in saguaro cacti and other desert trees that would be bulldozed for the highway’s construction. We’re fully committed to protecting these rare owls and their habitat from destruction.”
fuck the tofu
Maybe we just need to put these 12% freaks in a gulag and feed them nothing but beans for a few years.
Media was still pushing a "flatten the curve" narrative until then.
I know several recent public health graduates for whom the transition away from this and more broadly away from other mitigating policies was a radicalizing moment
