Games@lemmy.world•Nvidia GeForce Now’s Time Limit Will Stop Gamers After 100 Hours Each MonthEnglish
5·21 days agoAye, same. Should hope you’re getting more than 100 hours of sleep!
Second highest is work. Boo.

9·21 days agoGot kids?
Let’s say, for argument’s sake, that they are falling in “ideal conditions” and it takes the person 2 days to die (they had the shits when they jumped) and a further two days to dry out. With a parachute open they could be falling at about 10mph (or possibly even slower as they lose further moisture!). 4 days at 10mph is 960 miles
The live person is the best person at skydiving to have ever lived, and spends most of the time not in the panels at 350mph (almost at the speed record). 960 miles at 350mph only takes 2.7 hours.
Maybe not so long after all?
My maths could be completely off though - haven’t used it much in years.
Or how long the living guy would have to be free falling to catch up with the person who’s a dessicated corpse?

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Someday, someone will invent something that can ‘envelope’ small flat items so they can be shipped more efficiently. Until that day …English
3·1 month agoI work in biomedical research. We had an item delivered in a 40x40x40cm, dry ice container. It was a tiny vial smaller than my thumb.
A very expensive, tiny vial.
Is this another safety factor, i.e. you can’t easily rip appliances out by accident?

Games@lemmy.world•Assassin's Creed is a "forever brand" because Ubisoft supported huge risks with it, ex director says: "Whereas, say, EA, you get these awful execs and they never made games and they came from toothpasEnglish
141·2 months agoControversial opinion: I like comfort games these days.
The first AC came out when I was in high school, and my one of my favourite bands for a good few years released their first album around then as well. I may not have as much time or love for either now, but I still get a nice buzz when I engage with a new release - especially when it does something a bit different (even if not revolutionary) compared to previous ones.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Who do you consider a Great Author of the last 50 years or so (first well-known work after 1970)? I'd like to get a feel for who's who in modern literature. Any language/culture. Fiction only.
261·2 years agoI’m going to repeat Ursula K Le Guin and Margaret Atwood because it’s hard to overstate how much of everything is in their works. Iain (M) Banks I’ll also echo, but will add China Miéville because there aren’t enough anarchists in this thread.



Yeah, my partner said whistling is one of the creepiest things men do when behind women, even if it’s a relatively innocent song rather than the Jaws theme or something.
