This is a good answer. I think your local librarian would be thrilled that you're trying to do this and most of them would likely put forth a completely undue amount of effort to assist you with it.

Back in the bad old days, doctors and med students would outright go rob a grave in the dead of night to get materials. I think it's better for everyone this way that "corpse collector" is a paid profession.
Allegedly, making an active effort towards lucid dreaming increases the rate of incidence of sleep paralysis by some ridiculous amount. Which makes sense, because in lucid dreaming you're essentially trying to trick your brain into retaining conscious processing during a dream.
Never tried myself, but if you're not afraid of the paralysis demons, it's a win win. You either succeed and get to lucid dream on the regular which kicks ass, or you don't succeed and start having nightly visits from Slim Jimmy.
Watching an AI's sanity leak out in real time is fascinating
I fucking love this post and reference it constantly to my programmer friends. It's one of my favorite bits of writing to exist, honestly.
For that matter, actually, pretty much everything Peter Welch writes is great. I highly recommend taking a peek through the rest of his blog. I liked it so much I bought one of his books.
So don't. It's a different room, enclosed off from all others. Like a bathroom is intended to be and, indeed, is like, in just about every other civilized country in the world.
Potentially. But probably not at this point. They'd have to do such a huge about-face as to be a completely different game.
By the time I bought D3, with the release of the expansion (and armed with the knowledge that I should do so by prior experience with D2 LOD and even D1 Hellfire), it had actually been made into a half decent game. The true endgame kind of sucks, but it sucked in D2 as well, and up to that point I got a good 200ish hours out of it that I didn't regret.
D4 is just not good though. It's a skeleton of a game and the bones are stale. Diablo and Overwatch were the only things I was still holding out any hope for Blizzard for and they pretty much ruined both those franchises. So I won't be buying Actiblizz products anymore. They've made their point.
I'll believe a corporation is a person when I see Texas fuckin' execute one.
Tesla would not be where it is today without his intervention.
Yeah, I might have actually bought one without his intervention.
Depends on the project. Dwarf Fortress for instance survived about a dozen years completely on donations. But that's a video game, not a tool (and one that people feel quite strongly about as well).
Proving, once again, that conservative PACS are actually incapable of making a good investment if their literal careers depended on it. And this is supposed to be the """financially responsible""" wing of US government.
