Humanity may be dead in their timeline, but when the LP is over, it will help humanity last a bit longer.

F Are we even sure star fruit look like that naturally, or did they became star shaped after being domesticated?

Animating the juice pouring into those bottles really kills the game's framerate. Is it dynamically animating the juice sloshing around and mixing its color on the fly or something?

First, re: fruit v. vegetables, Botanically speaking, a fruit is a seed-bearing structure that develops from the ovary of a flowering plant, whereas vegetables are all other plant parts, such as roots, leaves and stems. Second, Freyja is a Norse Vanir goddess associated with war, death, love, sex, beauty, fertility, gold, and seiğr, and gets the half of fallen warriors that don't go to Odin.

Have you forgotten that the Purple Pikmin are ten times stronger than other Pikmin types? This strength was outright required for several treasures, two of which are needed to gain access to new areas. They were also notorious for their effectiveness on the battleground in 2 as they will land with a resounding thump, stunning and seriously injuring beasts when thrown. However these latter traits along with a resistance to wind were removed in Pikmin 3 thus while they still land with a thump, the thump itself does absolutely nothing.

The purple pikmin in 2 were kinda broken, and by kinda broken I mean I watched TheStrawhatNO's LP of it where Yoshi killed the emperor bulborb in 10 seconds

Dude, we created a telescope the size of a planet. People carry little boxes around that have near-instant access to so much information that they should have DON'T PANIC etched on the case. Our ability to communicate and transfer information has become so easy that we have in many ways become one global community/economy, unfortunately a long ways ahead of our ability to actually cope with that. Don't make the mistake of dismissing the impact of all of those things just because we don't have self-driving cars or robot butlers.

Medical technology in itself has advanced in leaps and bounds, even within the last 10 years. I saw a headline earlier this week stating that scientists are just about ready to test a malaria vaccine.

It still feels weird to me that there's a vaccine for chickenpox. That was just a fact of life when I was growing up. Weird in a good way, I'm not claiming it builds character or something.

I remember being jealous of a friend whose family could afford that vaccine, since it wasn't covered by my parents' insurance. Chicken pox sucked and I still have scars on my head from it 20 years later

I was going to say something specific about the current general stasis of form factors being a product of electronics' shrink & speed and that developments are continuing under the hood and to consider storage density changes over the past 20 years, but I think there's a more pertinent point: perhaps we should not let glamorous but ultimately kooky and consumerist visions of the future be a primary measure for technological and scientific change. To put it another way: what distinguishes your "we still don't have driverless cars" from "It's the year 2000. But where are the flying cars? I was promised flying cars!" 19 years ago?

I'll gladly accept being wrong, given all those examples. I only hope we can push all this cool new technology to help the poorest among us. Also, not keeping ourselves cooking in our own heat!

We should have kept our resources to fix our own ever-growing problems, which would easily get done in ten years. Get rid of the problem-producers very quickly so it doesn't explode into something worse. I don't know how you got the idea of a woman discovering that black hole. I read about this Katie Bouman doing an incredibly insignificant amount of contribution among a couple dozen people. No one person could take the credit.

The same can be said about the dozens of other people. It is unfair to the others who contributed.

I read about this Katie Bouman doing an incredibly insignificant amount of contribution among a couple dozen people. No one person could take the credit. To help combat the tendency to see physics as a "man's job" and also because it was directly related to her recent PhD thesis, Dr Bouman got spotlit for her part in bringing the data together with an emphasis on the collaborative efforts. This then got nabbed and turned into a clickbait patronizing image of "look at this smiling girl, Katie made it all happen! Isn't she special and unique?" She didn't do nothing, she didn't do everything, and both approaches serve the same cause that her call-out was supposed to push against in the first place.

Eh, trying to give all the credit to one or two figureheads isnt anything new or exciting. Let's keep the space theme and think of the thousands of people it took to bring off the first moon landing. Now name one that wasn't in the rocket. It's just how people work.

Okay, that was eerie. Maple Leaf, you asked for a "P" name, and I said Philomena to myself right before Oliver Branch said Philomon. So I got that going for me.

Congrats on saving Olimar, Maple Leaf! And Koppai too I guess. and (sigh) Louie... And to take a little more bite out of the sacrifices of all those Pikmin, here's my donation -  I tried to donate to the WSF, but it kept giving me errors unfortunately before I could even put in any personal information, so there ya go. I converted from ~35 USD and rounded up a tad more for a clean 50.
