I assume a novelization.

I believe you mean:

“Hey.
Mr…
Tambourine man?”

• Bakasteriod
• Bakmeteor

How ionic.

Seems straightforward to me - skeleton is only spooky if the ghost is still attached.

Oh, yeah, if they love it in the episode, that doesn’t make sense.

I buy it.

Sure humans tend to integrate music into nearly everything we do, but even here on earth as far as I can think of at the moment it’s just us, birds, and whales. I’m sure there’re a few more examples, but the vast majority of life on earth (including other sentient life) doesn’t have much if any appreciation for or ability to create music. (Dogs howling back at us somewhat rhythmically in YouTube clips is at best a borderline case.)

The further pondering about the arts for the species in question is anyone’s guess I assume. I don’t remember this episode.

Support it Here if you would like it to be a real set.

I guess I’ll be the one to ask. Since we are on Lemmy…

Linux support?

Huh.

I thought it started with the Pikachu thing. TIL.

If you don’t mind gacha games, I’ve been enjoying Honkai: Star Rail. The battles are turn based, some of the puzzles and events are a bit reaction time dependent, but not difficult generally.

I really didn’t want to let it win.

I also had that experience with emacs, which has a built in help system. I couldn’t find a topic on ‘exit’ or ‘quit’ and refused to just search online.

Took me half an hour.

I love this quote and think it’s hilarious that it was said in response to Data moping about losing a video game.

Interesting.
Although I’m sceptical about that working for me specifically: I have a very weak sense of smell and therefore taste, so sweet, salty, umami, etc is probably much more of my tasting experience compared to most people. Without that I think I’d be left with not much at all.

As an example, spicy (‘hot’) in food to me is pure pain. I literally can’t comprehend how there could be any kind of flavor to it that people not only enjoy, but so much that they actively seek it enough to build a tolerance to the capsaicin.

Seriously, that video had a horrible ending, with no advice on how that might be feasible.

And it sounds worse to me than just being overweight and eventually getting diabetes and dying early (like most of my family)

I’m guessing in the first one they were making a barrier for the fire, instead of hitting it directly and letting the edge of it continue to spread if they didn’t get it all?

Implosive compression.

Agreed - but acting surprised that it can change opinions (for the worse) doesn’t make sense to me, that’s obvious, since anything can. That AI can potentially do so even more effectively than other things is indeed worth talking about as a society (and is again pretty obvious)

A piece of paper dropped on the ground can ‘shape human beliefs’. That’s literally a tool used in warfare.

The news here is that conspiratorial thinking can be relieved at all.
