  • Anyone considering getting this game, get it!

    Its predecessor, sunless sea, has the best writing and worldbuilding of any game I’ve ever played.

    Whatever second place is, it’s not even close.

    The characters feel like real people. Everything feels real.

    Absolutely amazing storytelling.

    I was very excited to see this game on here, because I haven’t got around to playing it yet.

    But if it’s anything like sunless sea, it’s also going to be amazing.



  • I don’t know about irreversibly, but the remarkable and consistent gains in solar technology especially are extremely exciting.

    As soon as one of these prototype next-gen batteries hit, that’s it for fossil fuel.

    It’s already not worth it to continue using fossil fuel commercially, but as soon as the next-gen power storage is able to be produced on scale, power plants are changing, phones, computers, cars, everything’s going to change.

    I can’t see that being more than a decade out, but even if nexgen battery tech doesn’t hit, the constant improvement on s***** traditional battery tech now is improving rapidly.

    It is a very exciting time and energy production and storage.







  • The study begins by adding up how many people self-reported taking multivitamins in some reports, then they added up the dead humans.

    Pretty simple.

    I thought I said there were no relevant variables and parameters? I’ll check.

    Yes, I said relevant in point four.

    I guess I could have used it in two and three also, although I think it makes sense in context.

    I stand by my earlier comment and don’t see the need to edit it to add in the word “relevant” to further dunk on an irrelevant paper.

    Here: There are no relevant controlling variables or parameters that make this study useful.

    It’s not even a curio because any number of factors could influence the conclusions of their addition.





  • There are many problems with this post and this study:

    1. This study did not conclude that there are no health benefits from taking multivitamins, that’s a false equivalence made by the poster.

    2. This study has no parameters for the quality or types of vitamins taken other than “multivitamin”

    3. This study exclusively reports the correlation between mortality and multivitamins, which is an inconsequential and useless statistic without any parameters.

    4. This study does not take into account any variables apart from a lack of long-term health disorders among multivitamin takers.

    This is relevant as many people take vitamins specifically to rectify long-term health disorders.

    Then again, seeing as how their only metric was mortality and not efficacy on health, that wouldn’t have mattered in this study.

    1. Objectively, a large percentage of the multivitamin market are older people, who are more likely to die.

    This could be one of the explanations for the 4% higher mortality rate in multivitamin takers. I’m sure there are others, since no variables are parameters were taken into account or structured into the study. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2820369

    This “study” is the sum function on an Excel sheet that counted the number of deaths connected to the number of people who reported taking multivitamins, which is a useless number without controlled parameters or variables taken into account.

    The study means nothing.
