5G is a little problematic because it can interfere with weather radar, but it looks like they reached a compromise to make that less of an issue. Originally a lot of the 5G conspiracies were about that connecting it to the usual weather control/HAARP insanity, but it seems like they've all fallen back to the default "EM bad".

Why is the one guy blaming Sony? Do they think Sony pressured Capcom into making the change or do they just not understand Sony didn't make the game?

Also I just sort of assumed there would be at least one thirsty rear end alternate costume, but I haven't played any games since 5, did Capcom stop doing that?
I like the guy blaming California, which clearly gets final say on all Resident Evil costuming decisions.

It seems like when it started this thread was a lot more aunts posting Minion memes and old mistaking Google's Facebook page for the search engine. Now it's probably 80% politics, which is a sign of the times because everything sucks right now, so that's a natural evolution. But when someone posts a "kill all men | cis | landlords | cops via guillotine" response to those, it's just white noise posting at this point. If you're worried a reply is going to be "CSPAMy", maybe just don't post at all? Not everyone has to respond to everything.

That said, I think this iteration of the thread has been doing pretty good with no big multi-page derails, so maybe everyone just keep doing what you're doing?

When you see people question why healthy people need to be quarantined, tell them about Typhoid Mary. She killed a lot of people over years without ever showing any symptoms.
For anyone who hasn't heard the story beyond just her name, Typhoid Mary's a really good analog to the modern anti-quarantine protesters. Even after she was identified as the carrier and informed what she was doing she wouldn't stay in. She just really loved spreading typhoid.

Wikipedia posted:

While quarantined, she was forced to give stool and urine samples, which indicated massive amounts of typhoid bacteria in her gallbladder. Authorities suggested removing her gallbladder, but she refused as she did not believe she carried the disease. She was also unwilling to cease working as a cook.[15] However, [8] Mallon attracted so much media attention that she was called "Typhoid Mary" in a 1908 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. Later, in a textbook that defined typhoid fever, she again was called "Typhoid Mary."[16]

Eventually, Eugene H. Porter, the New York State Commissioner of Health, decided that disease carriers should no longer be kept in isolation and that Mallon could be freed if she agreed to stop working as a cook and take reasonable steps to prevent transmitting typhoid to others. On February 19, 1910, Mallon agreed that she was "prepared to change her occupation (that of a cook), and would give assurance by affidavit that she would upon her release take such hygienic precautions as would protect those with whom she came in contact, from infection." She was released from quarantine and returned to the mainland.[17]
Release and second quarantine (1915–1938)

Upon her release, Mallon was given a job as a laundress, which paid less than cooking. After several unsuccessful years of working as a laundress, she changed her name to Mary Brown and took jobs as a cook against the explicit instructions of health authorities. For the next five years, she worked in a number of kitchens; wherever she worked, there were outbreaks of typhoid. However, she changed jobs frequently, and Soper was unable to find her.[8]

In 1915, Mallon started another major outbreak, this time at Sloane Hospital for Women in New York City. Twenty-five people were infected, and two died. She again left, but the police were able to find and arrest her when she took food to a friend on Long Island.[8][17] After arresting her, public health authorities returned her to quarantine on North Brother Island on March 27, 1915. She was still unwilling to have her gallbladder removed.[17]

Mallon remained in quarantine for the remainder of her life, a period of just over 23 years. She became a minor celebrity and occasionally was interviewed by the media. They were told not to accept even water from her.[8] Later, she was allowed to work as a technician in the island's laboratory, washing bottles.[10]

You can install more urinals in a smaller space than standard toilets, and they (probably) use less water.
I'm not sure how widespread they, are but here in the constantly-in-a-drought-and-on-fire American West a lot of places have completely waterless urinals now. They have some kind of blue liquid in a canister in the drain at the bottom that is apparently lighter than pee so the pee flows under it is safely isolated in the pipes so there's no gross smell.

I read years ago that also happened with Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd, the actors who played Merry and Pippin in The Lord of the Rings movies. I remember one of them saying in an interview that he had fans giving him slash fanart and telling him stuff like "It's okay, you don't have to keep your love a secret anymore, we know." People really seem to 1) read a lot of romantic subtext into stuff where it may or may not exist and 2) assume that actors who play romantic roles aren't really acting.
That did give us this moment though.

IOSM-adjacent: A $350 “anti-5G” device is just a 128MB USB stick, teardown finds

quote:

The product's website charges £283 for a single 5GBioShield, which converts to nearly $350. That's what it costs to get "protection for your home and family, thanks to the wearable holographic nano-layer catalyser, which can be worn or placed near to a smartphone or any other electrical, radiation or EMF emitting device."

"The 5GBioShield makes it possible, thanks to a uniquely applied process of quantum nano-layer technology, to balance the imbalanced electric oscillations arising from all electric fog induced by all devices such as: laptops, cordless phones, wlan, tablets, etc.," the company says, adding that the USB stick "brings balance into the field at the atomic and cellular level restoring balanced effects to all harmful (ionized and non-ionized) radiation."

The USB stick apparently doesn't need to be plugged in to anything to work its magic. "It is always ON and working—that's why we used quantum nano-layer technology," the company says in an FAQ.

But the device allegedly produces a wider field of protection when it is plugged in. To answer the question of whether the stick needs to be "charged regularly," the FAQ says, "No—the input charge only expands the field effect from 4m radius to 20m + radius when plugged into an USB wall charger or a computer."



Honestly I'm impressed they were still able to find 128MB USB sticks.

Yikes.

I saw an exhibit at a science museum once that showed a series of pictures and tracked your pupils to show what area of the photo you were looking at, to demonstrate things like how our eyes are drawn to faces. One of the photos was of a toddler on a swing, but the photo was taken at an angle so you could see up her skirt to her underwear, or maybe diaper, it was a very young kid. The rest of her clothes were pretty dark, so your eye naturally went to the bright white patch and made you look like a horrible pervert. I like to think someone put that photo in there just for that purpose.

Does any of the AC games have a mode that removes all the stupid modern-day stuff so you can focus on being an assassin in 19th Century London or Ancient Greece or whatever?
Origins and Odyssey have a "tour mode" where you can just wander around the ancient world and read things about the ancient monuments and whatnot. But I don't think you can go around stabbing people in that mode.

Skwirl posted:

I don't think any of them excise it completely, but they became smaller and smaller parts of the game as the series went on. Like I think in Odyssey (the most recent) you don't actually play any of the modern parts, just see cutscenes very sporadically. Which is good, but does kinda make the modern parts even more jarring, especially if you do a lot of side content so you can go 20-30 hours just wandering ancient greece and then suddenly you get dragged into the modern metaplot because you did something from the main story. But again, it's just a couple minutes at a time at most.
You do play the modern parts in Odyssey, but yeah there's maybe 10-20 minutes total of that.
