Comment on What if we discover the answers of the Universe, eliminate cancer, halt aging. What's next? in ~humanities
Deely LinkI believe after doing this we will get more and more mysteries and questions to answer. I do not know if this true, but I like/believe in this quote from Douglas Adams:I believe after doing this we will get more and more mysteries and questions to answer.
I do not know if this true, but I like/believe in this quote from Douglas Adams:There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened. -

Comment on Zilog discontinues production of original Z80 processor after 48 years in ~tech
Deely LinkFrom https://hackaday.com/2024/04/19/end-of-life-for-z80-cpu-and-peripherals-announced/ From wiki:From https://hackaday.com/2024/04/19/end-of-life-for-z80-cpu-and-peripherals-announced/
This does not mean that it’s the end of the road for Z80, however, as the eZ80 will be produced for the foreseeable future.
From wiki:
The Zilog eZ80 is an 8-bit microprocessor from Zilog, introduced in 2001. eZ80 is an updated version of the company's first product, the Z80 microprocessor. The eZ80 (like the Z380) is binary compatible with the Z80 and Z180, but almost three times as fast as the original Z80 chip at the same clock frequency.

Comment on These identical twins both grew up with autism, but took very different paths in ~health.mental
Deely (edited )LinkQuite interesting article.Quite interesting article.
Sam and John Fetters, 19, are identical twins at opposite ends of the autism spectrum.
Sam is a sophomore at Amherst College who plans to double major in history and political science. In his free time, he runs marathons.
John attends a special school, struggles to form sentences, and likes to watch Teletubbies and Sesame Street.
Two brothers. Same genes. Different flavors of autism.Both John and Sam were born with anatomical anomalies that required surgery.
Sam had a hernia that needed repair, but it was surgery that could wait until he was 5. John had a hole in his heart that was affecting his growth and had to be fixed when he was still an infant.
Sam's surgery went smoothly. But John developed an infection in the incision surgeons had made in his chest.
The infection was from drug-resistant staph bacteria. So John went back to the hospital and spent a month on powerful antibiotics pumped directly into a vein near his heart. -
Comment on In Berlin, I experience icks I never thought possible in ~travel
Deely Link ParentDefinitely satire.I could go on about the lack of taste. For example, Berlin is home to the worst-dressed people in the world. Everyone looks like they’ve assaulted a thrift store, but coincidentally this thrift store only carried everything two sizes too big. In time, one learns that the bad outfits are there to draw attention away from even-worse haircuts (no one on the planet besides Zendaya should be attempting micro bangs).
Definitely satire.

Comment on How Russian-language poets and their translators have responded to the war in Ukraine in ~humanities.languages
Deely Link ParentIts not about interpretation per se. Its.. how to say it, we feels incredibly tired by any russian acts that do not confront war directly. I understand you point of view as well Asterisk's. I read...Its not about interpretation per se. Its.. how to say it, we feels incredibly tired by any russian acts that do not confront war directly.
I understand you point of view as well Asterisk's. I read some poems mentioned in article, and they beautiful, but I can't stop thinking "they write beautiful poems in russian language about war they started with Ukraine".
Why, why they did it? Why not donate something to help Ukraine defend? Why not start some protests? Why the fucking poems?
Sorry if its looks like a attack, I don't mean it, its more like a vent. -

Comment on Venting doesn't reduce anger, but doing calming activities does, study finds in ~science
Deely LinkVenting when angry seems sensible. Conventional wisdom suggests expressing anger can help us quell it, like releasing steam from a pressure cooker.
But this common metaphor is misleading, according to a new meta-analytic review. Researchers at Ohio State University analyzed 154 studies on anger, finding little evidence that venting helps. In some cases, it could increase anger.
...
Rather than trying to vent anger, the researchers recommend undermining it by turning down the heat. Calming tactics already proven to ease stress may also rob anger of physiological fuel.
...
Their study examined both arousal-increasing and arousal-reducing activities, from boxing, cycling, and jogging to deep breathing, meditating, and yoga.
Calming activities reduced anger in the lab and the field, they found, and across other variables like methods of instruction or participant demographics. Effective arousal-reducing activities included slow-flow yoga, mindfulness, progressive muscle relaxation, diaphragmatic breathing, and taking a timeout. -
