The only people I've ever met who share this opinion are people who've spent their entire life viewing things that are fast-paced action movies or movies where characters are defined entirely by a handful of quippy one-liners and a melodramatic flash back and then have all of their character development confined to a singular moment of epiphany. Movies where they would be alphabet level predictable if they didn't move onto the next hackneyed trope at whiplash inducing paces.

If you spend your entire life watching the cinematic equivalent of cocaine of course sobriety is going to be boring.

Be gay. Do (cyber)crime.

Then check for spandex.

If they're considering optical media, typical BD-R, while viable, may not be be the best choice. BD-R M-Discs would probably be a better choice for backups. Especially if they're planning on needing access to the data over a period of decades, which would be potentially useful for familiy photos/videos and critical documents.

They are more expensive, as is the drive needed for them, but not by enough to be out of reach or even unreasonable given the additional durability of the discs.

The article mentions that previously they used pig cadavers with dyes and specially marked tissues to guide the robot. While it doesn't specify exactly what the "lifelike patient" is, to me the article reads like they're still using a pig cadaver just without those aids.

I usually just put my entire library from my Plex server on shuffle and listen to whatever comes up. Which is usually a lot of nu-metal, alt-rock, folk music, j-pop, rap, and j-rock.

Sometimes though I'll have something specific I want to listen to, recently that's been a lot of Colm R. McGuinness (over on YouTube) specifically his WH40K songs, but also all of his other stuff. He makes some great music and I'd recommend checking him out.

Not currently medicated for ADHD (though I am diagnosed), but I take modafinil for a shift-work related sleep disorder. It also helps with the ADHD. On the days when I take it, I find myself able to focus and get things done.

During high school and my early twenties i was on Adderall XR and IR. That was much more effective and the only reason I'm not still doing that is because my job has travel requirement to countries where those medications and similar are illegal.

It's one reason among a few that I'm currently looking for a new job.

Well great, now I want to see an angry, long-haired, metal-head headbanging and spinning their hair in a circle to this song.

At least according to the USDA pork is a red meat. Presumably long pig is the same.

However, that particular red meat is ethically sourced and environmentally friendly to consume. The lack of sustainability is, in this case, desirable.

I'm curious why you rehang it every year and don't just install a retractable awning. Hell, putting some smaller retractable shades over the windows, especially the sunnier ones, would probably also save you a chunk of change on those bills.

This Japanese VTuber recently came up in my YouTube feed and I thought she looked pretty neat. I only really watched one stream (her most recent Holocure stream) and I understand basically no Japanese, but I thought her model looked pretty cool and her voice (which at least from what little I can read of her stream description might be a voice changer) sounds like Professor E. Gadd, which I love.

It probably goes without saying, but if you decide to check her out, be respectful. Also, it looks like she's a Japanese VTuber with a Japanese community and only a handful of concurrent live viewers. I imagine suddenly having even a couple of English speakers in the chat could be somewhat stressful, so keep that in mind and be courteous if you decide to drop by.

 

Essentially the title. Would it run afoul of the "no ads" rule? Even if we're not affiliated with the VTuber in question?

 

I should be able to host my own WoW server on my LAN, play CoD split-screen on my TV, or run my own Battlefield tournament on my own LAN.

Using the internet as an option for multiplayer or other optional features of games is fine, but there is absolutely no reason why a video game should ever require an internet connection.

People deciding that it is somehow acceptable to require an internet connection to play a game is a big part of the reason why we have DLC, buggy releases, microtransaction riddled games, and shitty, invasive DRM.

If you have ever been involved in the creation of games that require an internet connection then I hope your asshole itches until the day you die.

Edit: if the game is only available through digital distribution then an internet connection is a requirement to play the game because you have to be able to obtain the game to play it.

Back in the day releasing a buggy game was costly because it meant you would have provide the option to your users to receive updates by mail or in stores. DLC (or expansion packs) would have to be meaningful, because it would mean having to press new discs or make new cartridges in order to provide that content to your users and it wasn't worthwhile for the users to buy if it wasn't substantial. Loot boxes and other microtransactions wouldn't really be a thing because you would have no guarantee that anyone would be willing to buy them because they would have to be provided by mail or in stores on some sort of physical media.

DRM would consist of needing to have a disc in the drive and maybe having to verify that you had a unique activation key by verifying a cryptographic hash against a public key on the disc.

All of this made for better games because the games had to be worth the hassle of going to the store to buy them or waiting for them to be delivered in the mail.

 

Basically, my question is the title. If a black hole crosses the Roche limit of another black hole, what happens?

For a hypothetical example, let's say you have a two black holes: one at 5 solar masses and one at 300 solar masses. If the smaller black hole crosses the Roche limit of the larger what happens? Does they simply merge? Would the event horizon of one or both black hole's be geometrically distorted in some way or retain their spherical shape?
