  • This is the story of a man named Stanley. Stanley worked for a company in a big building where he was employee number 427. Employee Number 427’s job was simple: he sat at his desk in room 427, and he pushed buttons on a keyboard. Orders came to him through a monitor on his desk, telling him what buttons to push, how long to push them, and in what order. This is what Employee 427 did every day of every month and every year, and although others might have considered it soul-rending, Stanley relished every moment that the orders came in, as though he had been made exactly for this job. And Stanley was happy. And then one day, something very peculiar happened. Something that would forever change Stanley. Something he would never quite forget. He had been at his desk for nearly an hour when he realized that not one single order had arrived on the monitor for him to follow. No-one had showed up to give him instructions, call a meeting, or even say Hi. Never in all his years at the company had this happened - this complete isolation. Something was very clearly wrong. Shocked, frozen solid, Stanley found himself unable to move for the longest time. But as he came to his wits and regained his senses, he got up from his desk and stepped out of his office."






  • Some of the best games i’ve ever played are in the 1-10 range. With that in mind, i do brlieve that a 60+ game would at least be über eccellent and have much to do. Which might unironically make such games bloated, if they weren’t costly that is. Just to add to this, terraria is about 10 dollars on steam at most times.

    Not only is the game fun, but it can last forever if you want. There are many cases of games where the monetisation model is donation based. I bought an offer for pixel dungeon despite the game being free, mostly because shattered pixel dungeon singlehandendly revived the game.












  • L.monocytogenes has the big issues of needing very few active colonies to cause trouble, especially to kids. It could trigger an infection so easily and across such a huge range of foodstuff and products or even basic ingredients that it’s scary.

    Now, thankfully, modern science (10000 bC ~ today) found out that heat deals with such things just fine. Especially since a guy named Pasteur understood that a mild thermic process might be enough to deactivate most patogens. Even better yet more people later on found out that high temperature can even destroy most pathogens if applied for a rational number of cicles and time. Not enough to damage the nutritional properties. Just about enough to do what the doom guy does with these demons to the pathogens and other microbes.

    Turns out drinking untreated food products is severly dangerous. When and where did this trend start.


  • Some european or american user might be confused by the approach of the Chinese governement, but for most purposes a strong emphasis on the Chinese national culture and industry has been a pivot and a prerogative of the Chinese powers (going as back as the kingdoms) since the foundation of a central political insititution. In that regard the political and social culture of China are historically China-first. They essentially see the region as the center of the world. It’s in their name too. Trading globally is a tool for that principle too. Or do you think they wouldn’t prioritise their own area? They currently detain a third of new patents globally, for medical research alone, and it used to be next to none a few decades back.
