That might be good. With text to speech getting as good as it’s getting, it’s probably getting in the realistic territory, too.

I’d create an actual god with morals of absolute good that rules over humans with an iron fist. Political debates? There’s an objective answer and the god knows it. Do something wrong? Get warned. Do something very wrong? It’s brainwash time.

If it consoles you, I can explain the reason for that one.

They both come from the verb restaurer (to restore). Restaurant being the present participle in this case. In French, “ant” is equivalent to the English suffix “ing”.

And restaurateur is “one who restores”.

I meant English dialects.

I dunno if it’s the weirdest but “pronunciation” is pretty weird.

Why is it “pronUnciation” but “pronOUnce”?

Is this universal or are there places where they pronounce it closer to its spelling?

Looks like you’re closer to the truth than I am.

Whoa, my optometrist told me that’s what they are and now I’m really disappointed.

Considering their shape and what you said about them being impossible to observe in visible light… I guess those branch-like pieces are cell organelle fragments instead?

Dang, and here I was excited to be seeing molecules.

Those are so cool. They’re the only way (I know of) that you can see molecules with your naked eye. Actual molecules! That’s practically at the level of atoms, and you can see that microscopic stuff!

**Edit: they are not, in fact, molecules. See replies for more info. **

Also red blood cells. It’s pretty cool that if you stare at the sky (not the sun; please not the sun) you can sometimes see red blood cells move in the back of your eye. Single cells! Amazing.

They are a lot more obvious if you look at bright surfaces, such as the sky, so one factor may be that you’re not outside as much.

I don’t think they’re supposed to go away; rather the contrary, but who knows.

One thing I do know though: if the amount increases noticeably, it could be a sign of something bad, so get that checked out.

How would you tackle that? Unless you build a really intelligent system that’s allowed to interpret and reword and understand the significance (or lack thereof) of emojis in context, it sounds tough. Like, generally speaking, you just wouldn’t be able to tell how important an emoji is to the message, when writing an algorithm.

They have alcohol at airports? That’s so weird.

There can be a lot of reasons for that, but too much internet wouldn’t be my first idea. Histrionic tendencies, autism spectrum disorders, anxiety, etc.

That’s pretty impressive. I hadn’t even thought oral treatments were possible!

It’s amazing.

Well that’s what I get for not checking my info!

Thanks for the correction.

Oh that probably helps!

I do have a few issues with it:

• the grippy texture underneath is a bit much. It holds on to grime really well and it’s a challenge to clean. I’m not sure we actually needed a grippy texture at all to begin with, but if we did, I wish ease of cleaning had been a bigger concern.
• the buttons under the controller and L2/R2 buttons are a tad too easy to press by accident.
• The L2/R2 buttons are not ergonomic enough. I can tell the intent is that I put my indexes on L1/R1 and middle fingers on L2/R2. But it’s uncomfortable to do that due to how much the L2/R2 buttons stick out. My hands just aren’t that big, and even if they were, I just don’t think it’s a very natural position to outstretch both fingers like that. It puts too much strain on the ring and little fingers. So instead I only use my indexes for both triggers. Thankfully games rarely need you to do both at once. I wish L2/R2 were lower instead of trying to be flush with L1/R1.
• I don’t play car games, so the gradual triggers are nothing but a negative to me. They reduce my effectiveness when parrying in Elden Ring, for instance. I know most people do care about car games though so I don’t know what they could have done about that without worsening reviews…

They got paranoid about nuclear and closed down all their nuclear plants. They intensified fossil fuel power production because they didn’t have enough renewable power. Then prices went up due to the war end they had an oh shit moment.

I bought one for that purpose. Realized it’s too much, the angles are so large I can’t hold it for long periods without hurting my wrists, and it’s really heavy, compounding the wrist pain issue. Also the triggers have way too much resistance.

Plus the battery life is really short.

I ended up buying an 8bitdo Ultimate. Much better.

Elden Ring. Welp, at least I guess i revive on death now?
