Sometimes the always on healing works so good cells start doing things like reactivating telomerase and ignoring the signals for programmed cell death and become cancer, sometimes turning effectively immortal.

.0000000000000003 atm or 0.3 nanopascals of atmosphere.

On Earth, this is considered to be a very good vacuum. In fact, the density of the atmosphere at the Moon's surface is comparable to the density of some of the outermost fringes of Earth's atmosphere, where the International Space Station orbits.

the Moon is considered not to have an atmosphere because it cannot absorb measurable quantities of radiation, does not appear layered or self-circulating, and requires constant replenishment due to the high rate at which its gases are lost into space.

I feel like saying the moon technically has an atmosphere is like saying an astronaut has an atmosphere if they farted in space sans spacesuit because some gas lingers around them.

The moon doesn’t have sufficient gravity to maintain an atmosphere. Any smog will float out into space, like helium on earth.

I really wanted to like it, but nothing about the game hooked me. The world was cool and graphics were good but the core gameplay loop was tedious. I was hoping for a more interesting or threatening world to explore. The random objects placed by “xXXgamer420xXx” didn’t help my immersion. I wonder if the game would have been as successful if Kojima’s name wasn’t attached to it.

I put in about 6-8 hours and never came back. Not that it was bad or anything, but I just don’t have that kind of time and it wasn’t particularly compelling. I might try it again some day, but I didn’t really understand the hype. You deliver boxes for likes and try to not fall over while walking forever in a kinda scary sci-fi post apocalypse world. What am I missing? I heard great things about it making the journey less of a slog, but if anything, it made traveling feel like more of a slog. I just had to not fall over. It’s not like I was finding that much cool stuff along the way, just occasionally a slightly useful bridge made by some other player.

Losing what.cd was like losing the musical library of Alexandria. Redacted is pretty good, but it’s just not the same.

Ever shined a powerful flashlight or laser around and seen all the particles floating in the air? You can also see them sometimes with a particularly bright sun beam coming through a blind. While these visible particles probably aren’t spores, it does illustrate how much stuff you’re constantly breathing in. There is no escaping. You’re part of life, there’s billions of organisms on you and in you at all times, and they’re fighting for survival too. There’s no escape. The only reason you survive is because of your immune system, and that’s why immunodeficient people like severe burn victims and AIDS patients just die despite nothing particularly “wrong” happening to them.

To me, that job listing is a red flag and I'd not want to have that job if the bullshit is starting before I even apply. It's probably only going to get worse if that's the start.

If I really did want the job, and I knew they were outright bullshitting, I'd not feel bad about bullshitting them back.

5 years experience required for a programming language that had only even existed for 2 years

If this is the level of bullshit on the job listing, do you actually want that job?

If yes: if they’re bullshitting, why don’t you?

I have a 4 year degree and it has never advantaged me, ever.

You didn’t learn anything at school?

I went to an engineering school, switched majors to biochemistry, and I work an IT job now. My education was invaluable despite being overwhelmingly inapplicable to my current field of work. I learned so much and was exposed to so many people of a similar mindset. Easily one of the most important things I’ve done in life, just from a life experience standpoint.

What advantage do you expect it to give you aside from what you learned and showing you can complete a bachelor’s program?

No doubt, there’s a lot of factors at play. Having diluted pee is good preventative maintenance though.

Whatever minerals are in your water are far less concentrated than they are in the foods you eat. It’s not the absolute amount of minerals you ingest, it’s the concentration of your urine that causes more crystallization to kidney stones. Gotta keep that piss dilute.
