A friend of mine gave me a PSVR1 for my birthday (which I use on my PS5). I'm playing Resident Evil 7 in VR mode and it's the most immersive experience in any horror (or possibly any other genre, really) game I've ever played. I was legitimately terrified and didn't want to sleep the night I played it for the first time. I am not a person that gets easily scared in horror films or games and usually get a laugh out of the absurdity of gore and jump scares but RE7 just hit much different in VR. The dinner table scene at the beginning of the game, and the chase sequences were absolutely horrifying.

If Resident Evil 8 and/or the Resident Evil 4 remakes get VR modes I will buy PSVR2 on day one.

Great news - Resident Evil 8 will be released have an official PSVR2 version. Full remake and PSVR2 integration.

There are trailers/previews available and it looks pretty darn impressive.

- D3 + K MK-7

- Calcium citrate

- Magnesium glycinate

- Zinc picolinate

- Multivitamin (gender specific)

- B complex (B12, B9, B7, B6, B5, B3, B2, B1, C)

- Fiber

For men, it's further important to cut simple carbs (sugar and HFCS), fried food, high PUFA nuts (walnuts, almonds, sunflower seeds, pine nuts, flaxseed, chia seeds, sesame seeds/tahini, pecans), soy, mint, black licorice, high PUFA veg oils. Also eat a few pistachios, cashews, and sprouted roasted pumpkins seeds (pepitas) daily because only cashews have low PUFAs. Any metabolic, endocrine, weight disorders, and lack of physical conditioning need to be treated too.

What is the issue with males and PUFA (Polyunsaturated Fat I'm assuming)? I recently bought some organic walnuts assuming that they would be beneficial for my health (Omega-3s, mediterranean diet's love for nuts, etc.), and now I'm questioning my decision.

Happy owner of mx4s here. Great work headphones, but man the UX is bad. On top of everything you mention, it defaults to noise cancelling and turning off noise cancelling (I only want noise cancelling for travel, otherwise I like being able to hear) involves listening to a woman tell you what mode you are in while basically muting current audio. WTF SONY

Also have the XM4s. If you go into the app, you can turn off "Notification and Voice Guide" under the system settings. It will then switch instantly when pressing the button without the woman speaking. Way better with it off.

I do agree though, the headphones are great, but the UX is clunky and nowhere near what apple could achieve with a fully integrated set of headphones.

I compete in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I also train and do sparring in Muay Thai, but do not actively have fights.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is a great sport, not only for the physical activity, but also as it requires constant learning and humbles you very quickly.

You learn to let go of your ego, regularly getting tapped out by smaller people, including women, and forces you to reflect on your mistakes and learn from them.

I feel as though it is equivalent to a real-life RPG, where you're constantly grinding and gaining experience and gaining abilities to take down better opponents. It's also a ton of fun and stress reliever after a long day at work.

It's always interesting to see the dynamic at the beginning of class where everyone is significantly more quiet, as compared to after several rounds of hard rolling and submissions. Everyone is in a great mood and talking to each other about how they were caught in an impressive and sneaky choke or asking for open criticism from others.

I feel as though this has translated well in my professional life, realizing that situations are not as bad and I believe and can take a step back, relax, and assess the best course of action.

Highly recommend giving it a shot if you want to be challenged to an extreme and learn every single day.

So you imply the best way to improve safety is to turn every road into autobahn, disallowing access to everyone except cars? This is incredibly wanton view.

Nope. The drivers' job is to look out and calmly accomodate the driving to all obstacles. Whoever is upset by mere speed differential, is not fit to be a driver.

redredhathat · 6 years ago
I was not implying that, merely noting that there are other ways to improve safety rather than just slowing down.

Check out this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solomon_curve

The Solomon curve describes the relationship between how likely one is to be involved in a vehicular accident based on their speed compared to the average speed of the road.

The author doesn't seem to take this into account. It appears she is attempting to drive slower to protect those using roadways in other means such as biking, which would benefit from added infrastructure such as bicycle paths.

Speed limits are often arbitrary and based on some sort of government regulation on the area (a state speed limit for example) or just decreased where there are narrower or winding roads.

The driver seems to be unaware of the negative effect she is having on the roads, creating a hazardous speed differential and upsetting other drivers.

I feel as though this is an inappropriate and dangerous place for the author to take her activism, putting others' lives at risk.

There is a reason why places such as the autobahn exist and have statistically lower accident rates when compared to standard roadways, even when there is no imposed speed limit. If someone like the author were to drive purposely slower than the traffic, the risk of accident increases greatly.

I wonder what the effect of the final product will be.

Will it be able to accurately represent what occurs in a fly's brain? I feel like there is still so much more involved e.g. voltage through neurons, timing, concurrency etc.

Very interesting and useful applications.

The ideal use would be in the office - I can browse HN while my manager will see the latest infrastructure project details when walking by.
