Name an anime without a shower/bath scene. It’s a lot harder than you’d think.

The Apollo spacesuits were pretty impressive, but they didn’t account for radiation that much. There are two reasons why we care more for planning a trip to Mars: we simply know more about solar radiation and what it can do to you, but also there’s a factor of dosage. A mars trip is a lot longer and would expose astronauts for much longer. We already consider radiation dosage frequently on earth. When the doctor gives you an x-ray, they go to the other room behind a lead wall because if they were in the room every time they x-rayed a patient, they would get a dangerous dose of x-rays over time, but you getting a very high dose of X-rays once in a while is not a big deal.

The Lego website had a huge collection of games.

For starters:

The last time we went to the moon was in 1972, towards the tail end of the big Apollo spike.

For the most part it’s best to use system provided sorting implementations, but somebody has to write those implementations, so every once in a while somebody needs to do it (in practice by looking up a reference implementation of course).

But also it’s good to understand things like big O scaling and why we use quicksort rather than a naive insertion sort and when to use quick sort vs merge sort or some other form of stable sort.

What about fictional or ancient religious swears?

  • by the power of Ra!
  • may Zeus grant mercy
  • by Grabthar’s hammer!
  • thank Thor

When I’m in a gaming VC I sometimes swap in setting-appropriate swears.

What about political figures?

  • thanks Obama

What about cringy internet/gaming references?

  • God damn -> mods ban
  • thank god -> thanks chat

A) Some people are really really bad at noticing AI slop. I’ve seen some really obvious AI generated images with people debating if it’s real or not. Unless those comments were AI and I’m the one who can’t tell…

B) Honestly even good AI generated content should come with a disclaimer IMO.

Huh? My actual GameCube controller works with all games on the Switch 1, although it doesn’t have all the buttons used by some games.

In particular it would be absurd if this new GameCube controller doesn’t work with Smash Ultimate.

I really don’t understand what you are complaining about. There has been a “training wheels off I want to do things manually” option for ages.

Can confirm I did it like 3 times before I just started installing 3rd party Hall effect switches.
