Both of those words are one letter removed from English words for a thing that is sour and a thing that is sweet, which feels like it's going to significantly bias the results on its own.

New comment by Antipode in "People who can't picture anything are rewriting the science of imagination"

Antipode — Mon, 14 Sep 2026 14:36:22 +0000

I agree with you in principle, but "nobody cares" clearly isn't true given the steam review history.

Pet peeve: I really wish they would stop using fisheye lenses for things like this. The horizon does not look anywhere near that curved at that altitude.

I provided myself motivation by mounting a monitor to my stationary bike so I can play video games on it. I get a minimum of 210 minutes of cardio a week from it.

Antipode — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 16:42:44 +0000

OpenClaw is rightly being blamed for a mistake it made. Any argument regarding her aptitude would be irrelevant as it would in no way absolve OpenClaw.

That directly contradicts everything I've ever read about high red meat consumption. Are there reputable studies that back this up?

A lot of the pictures used in articles for this are pictures of something else (possible an old ship). Here's what it actually looks like: https://holleyarchaeology.com/index.php/the-truth-about-the-...

Antipode — Fri, 09 May 2025 16:15:44 +0000

I thought the coin bite was just to check that it left an indentation. How would you use it to differentiate gold from lead? They're both soft.
