You’re right. I didn’t notice. I’ll stand by my initial assessment though. Someone battered those doors open, presumedly to deal with the leak.

Water can be scary, but enough force to open the doors like that would leave visible damage on the walls.

It wouldn’t look like that and there’d be visible water damage. The doors were opened with impacts to the handle area. Obviously a battering ram was used, possibly police.

In the dotnet 8 announcement the brag is that a minimal web service will be 8.5 megs

But if we’re wrong about climate change we’ll have made the air breathable for no reason. ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)

I’ve been told many times that China controls Reddit and that’s a 5% stake, so …

She’s psychic though.

Baby brains are much less likely to have any prions.

Oh, damn. Why do assholes gotta ruin everything?

I’ve seen Nim before. It looks interesting, and I like the promise of a no-nonsense, performant language. I’m comfortable over here in dotnet land though. 😄

What happened the last time?

Small Basic is about equivalent to Scratch in terms of what you can do, but you have to actually write the code. It reinforces various coding principles in a more explicit way than Scratch.

The website has a printable curriculum that looks reasonable.

I think it's an excellent stepping stone.

Passwords shouldn't be stored at all though 🤷‍♂️

Not too different from Robin Williams

It’s characters from a popular TV show as knitted figures.

Which works were sampled for this?

Some of the best indie games were made in MonoGame.

They were sensory deprived to an extreme extent. It doesn’t matter that there are people around if you can’t see them, can’t hear them, can’t feel them. You’re severely downplaying the effect of that to make the box seem worse.

In the box, you can stimulate your hearing so you won’t get auditory hallucinations. You can also feel things and tap the side of the box, etc. I assume it’s dark, so you may get some visual hallucinations. I’m not sure how darkness affects that. It’s manageable, though.

Isolation is torture when it’s a very long or even indeterminate duration. Two days is a duration that most people can endure, as per the experiment. You know that going in and can prepare yourself mentally.

I’ve endured severe pain, I’ve endured panic attacks, and I’ve endured bad trips without time and a fractured reality. I don’t know what kind of life you’ve led, but my experience tells me that while two days in a box is absolutely going to be a miserable experience, it will quickly be forgotten.

Edit: And with a million bucks, I can pay for a good therapist, which I need regardless.

You’re just asserting things without evidence or reason.

Most people in voluntary isolation (with sensory deprivation too!) will quit after a couple of days. I don’t know what $20 a day amounts to in today’s money, but it ain’t a million.

I’ve tripped balls where the concept of time was torn asunder. Wasn’t a great time, but time still passed by, and my mind didn’t “break” or whatever it is people believe will happen.

You can’t actually experience a lifetime in those moments of eternity.
