Maybe people didn’t live long enough for skin cancer to make a difference?

Doesn’t work for people with connected muscles for pinkies😔

I’m not sure how fantastical your world is but maybe nightglasses rather than sunglasses. simulates natural night vision, could have some interesting side effects if used a lot.

Nah you got it perfect! (Also holy shit I didn’t expect to find a volapük learner on Lemmy)

Film theory did an interesting video where they concluded it’d be okay since he’d only be intaking a little over time. (Not saying that’s true)

Yeah they reference this in the book, it’s always from him when he uses the bacteria (meaning in theory it’s only his own pathogens or bacteria). He uses his crews shit that’s been dried and left in Martian temperatures so it’s sterilised.

They do something fun with this in the three body problem. It’s amazing and makes a ton of sense but in the real world the application will probably be a lot cleaner.

Also the fact that the economy is managed can mean things aren’t always testable. If you think there’s going to be a recession based on models and you prevent that by using policy, did you really prevent the recession or was it never going to happen?

I thought the proposal to call them majority world countries was interesting.

Doesn’t latent heat change the time taken to cool? Also part of the point of a kettle being that it’s 100c wheras a microwave could easily be under since it turns off based on time.

Yeah I got called a narcissist with my worst ex and then just flat out asked if they knew what it meant, I think it was a little telling they didn’t actually know (not that I do either lol). It’s really hard being with someone who makes you feel loved but doesn’t love you and I’m so proud of you for being on the other side of it and being happy!

As everyone has said, lossless compression might not have great ratios, but if it’s still worth it I recommend dwarfs as it creates read only mountable filesystems with minimal setup https://github.com/mhx/dwarfs

Nah it makes sense

This is fantastic! The system seems pretty well optimized for your use case which is hard to do when working with something so unique, although maybe the 5 tone characters should look more different. I like really like the final look being somewhat like devanagari even if it shares none of the letters. You should be very proud of your work!

I second this! It’s extremely unique and I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a conlang where the method of articulation is so different but still very reasonable as a concept, if you’re looking for inspiration I recommend silbo gomero from the canary Islands as it is a whistled form of Spanish.

Statistically 4/4 are silly :3

Doing a bg3 campaign rn and what started as a well planned attack ended with my half orc fighter picking up a crate and hitting the last enemy so hard over the head with it the crate ceased to exist. All in all, a very fun time.

Yeah, it almost looks like you’d be able to run things faster than natively on windows, which is why I’m suspicious (not that it’s a lie just that the numbers lack context). It doesn’t say what the numbers represent I think?

God damn I’m genuinely impressed

I quite like both these characters and wish we could have them be companions, I’m still happy with what we got though and it’d be asking a lot to add such a huge amount of stuff on top of what’s already in the game.
