Pills (Take Two)
  • Assuming the shoebox pill couldn't be used for more pills (such as, more shoebox pills)...

    Groundhog Day pill + 5 months experience pill, could be pretty good.

  • It definitely *was* a good idea though
  • I don’t know what “fossilized algae” refers to

    Looked it up:

    Nobel found that when nitroglycerin was incorporated in an absorbent inert substance like kieselguhr (diatomaceous earth) it became safer and more convenient to handle, and this mixture he patented in 1867 as "dynamite".

    Diatomaceous earth consists of the fossilized remains of diatoms, a type of hard-shelled microalgae.

  • Human life is to be protected, rescued etc. in all cases.

    We need to stay absolutely clear with that, because everything else creates terrible moral problems

    I see no issue with assisted suicide if the person is or was determined to be of sound mind when they made that choice. In fact I believe it is more morally questionable to deny it.

  • Is rewatchability ever a factor in making a movie?
  • Probably not in the way you mean. There are certainly movies that benefit from watching again, whether to fully understand what is going on - often involved convoluted plots or a twist that adds new context to all the scenes, or because each individual shot/scene has so much going on that you're always catching some new detail. And I do think those aspects are mostly intentional.

  • SAG-AFTRA Inks Agreement With Replica Studios For AI Digital Voice Replication Use In Video Games
  • Well, there's two ways you could interpret that:

    • As you say, 'shelf life', how long they can sell the game with their voice in it
    • Or, 'voice time', as in, contracts are negotiated in total duration of voice lines. Exceeding that number requires renegotiation.

    I suspect it's the latter as that is more similar to how voice work is already done, to my understanding.

  • Against Counting the Books You Read
  • Yeah, I think a goal can be okay as a rough benchmark for how much you would like to be reading generally. It's when the goal works to the detriment of your own enjoyment that it's an issue. I don't bother counting because I'm reading at a pace that works for me currently.
