FYI if you can't hear anything you need to put on one of these brain slugs. I'm wearing one and it's awesome. Everyone should really get a brain slug.

11 years. And, honestly I'm kinda grateful. It was time, regardless of the drama, and an unhealthy amount of my screen-existence was being eaten up by it. There seemed to be a slow, insidious change that I was probably sheltered from by keeping to old-reddit, but even then, the whole spez-API-drama wasn't so much of a shock, but more the final nail in the coffin that reddit is, with no doubt, now a full on corporate for-profit website just like any of the other social media giants, and will continue to act more and more like them. I'll admit I didn't delete my account, just the app, and I still check back in every few days to peek in to a few more niche subreddits that there just isn't any replacement for elsewhere (yet), but spending my time elsewhere has been refreshing.

Usually when numbers are presented that way it's because there are many studies they looked at. So I presume there was one study showing a rate of 40%, another showing 70% and the rest of the studies fell somewhere in between those two extremes, with differences likely due to types of games, types of systems, and any number of other factors, including chance. They could have just averaged all the studies and quoted a number like 55% for example, but I think the other way actually paints a better picture of the data. It's still possible they're full of shit, but just presenting the numbers like that doesn't mean they're pulling it out of their ass.

And if you make enough spelling errors, your post essentially encrypts itself! :D

Not EXCLUSIVELY... but kinda, but even though I'm only 1 (or maybe 2) out of the 3, and a bunch of programming jokes and jargon go over my head, I really don't mind. And... if you're going to start with a particular demographic as a core userbase, man oh man could you do worse these days.

Sugar is worse.

Why is no one choosing 7? Xray vision is absolutely going to be super useful. After that its a tossup between 2 and 3.

If you're interested in Country and Folk but have the range of taste you seem to, you should definitely become aware of Punch Brothers if you're not already. Basically experimental bluegrass, I'd recommend any of their albums but Phosphorescent Blues might be a good start. The frontman Chris Thile's also part of Nickel Creek and their new album has a very Punch Brothers feel to it as well.

And they'd be starting and stopping all over the place, so the kind of acceleration needed to reach that speed would kill any known organic being via g forces before they'd even suffer from the fire. But he's one of the fae, so data on them is lacking I guess.

It was where he got his start 20+ years ago, but both him and Sara Watkins (the fiddler) went on to do some interesting stuff to say the least. Their new album was sort of a reunion.
