Existence of language requires 2 mutation trees, one for hearing, one for sound making. Could this be why it took so long?

But hearing and sound making both have many other uses. Jellyfish can "hear", crickets can make noises. I'm guessing we had both of these long before language.

I wonder if they have a new control technique up their sleeve. Innovative gameplay and pushing new control ideas is one of Nintendo’s signatures. That said, being the switch 2, not a new console, maybe they kept it the same and just upgraded the processing and graphics hardware.

Looking forward to more!

Looks like the sliding controllers bit means that they will work like a computer mouse.

As a user, I've had to jump through a lot of hoops like captcha, credit card number, phone number check, dns domain check etc. I've been told these are to prevent scammers making 1000 accounts. Now they tell me "well we can't prevent scammers, because they make 1000 accounts".

I am beginning to think someone is not 100% truthful to me.

There is a cost to breaking captcha.

Love the use of light blue color for the blinking cells! Surprisingly smooth UX considering we have checkboxes for cells.

I started and when a grasped the concept I immediately closed the page and walked away haha. I foresaw myself spending hours and hours trying to finish this game. It is like 2048 but harder.

2 days later, I just finished it. I'm finally free. Let this be a warning to future readers.

…which ties neatly in the German word for church, which is Kirche (the ”ch“ is phonetically similar to ”k“). How did I never notice that?

I wouldn't be surprised if that's also via Scandinavian influence (kyrke). Some other examples are bra, barn, hus.

> On average, the participants lost 10% of their body weight; reduced their waist circumference by 11% percent; and had lower blood pressure, body mass index, triglycerides, blood sugar levels and insulin resistance.

Any person that loses 10% their body weight through a diet is going to feel much better.

0xdada · a year ago
Any overweight person. I gained 10% of my bodyweight in the last 6 months and I haven't felt better. (Mostly eating plants though.)
