In #CrimsonDesert, your heroes doesn’t need to take on enemies up close, you can stock up on oodles of arrows and snipe them safely with bow🏹 from top of a cliff.

🇰🇼 🇮🇱 Rare moment of truth at the UN from brave Kuwaiti dissident @JJJuraid, invited by UN Watch: “Mr. Chair, I heard the term “colonizers.” But who are the real colonizers? A Jewish Kingdom ruled in Judea for a thousand years. We, the Arabs, took this land. Who Arabized Egyptians, Phoenicians, Persians and Amazighs? It was us, the Arabs. So why does the council enshrine a lie by keeping a permanent agenda item on Palestine, while ignoring the indigenous heart of Israel returning home? Let us be clear about who is actually defending our sovereignty. Today, Israel is a fighter for peaceful nations, freeing Gaza from Hamas terrorists and saving Iranians from the Islamic Republic. What Israel is doing to the IRGC — stopping a genocidal regime from acquiring nuclear weapons — is a gift to humanity. There are 57 Islamic countries and only one Jewish state, Israel. Despite the ongoing hateful desire to eliminate it, Israel has not only survived, it has thrived. I don’t believe in miracles, but this is one. So I ask the UN: when will you end the ritual of condemning Israel? Is it not time, instead, to learn from Israel? How to defeat terror, defend free societies, and pursue peace. Thank you.” What a refreshing act of integrity and truth. Stay connected, follow @MOSSADil.

I guarantee you that this is not accurate. Hospitals typically will not give uninsured patients that big of a discount. In some cases they won't give them much of a discount at all. If you have much income or assets, they may well come after them if you don't pay. Most health insurance plans don't have a $5,000 deductible either. And the insurance companies have prior contracts with hospitals and other health care providers such that they get reduced rates over those chargemaster rates you're quoting.

American is a healthy 28 year old, he decided to skip paying for health insurance this year because the cheapest plan was $900 per month with a high deductible He had to spend 2 nights in the ER without insurance, he breaks down the bill “This is my receipt from spending 2 days in the hospital: - It totaled about $24,000 - My CT scan alone was $8,300 - Laboratory, 6,000 - IV therapy, $1,020, $4,000 in total And while $24,000 seems like a lot of money, let me show you something. This is what I'm actually paying, $2,478 because when you don't have insurance, these hospitals give you a discount. They discounted $22,000 off of this bill” “But if I had insurance, I wouldn't have gotten that discount. So it would've been a $24,000 bill billed to my insurance, and then my insurance would've said, ‘Hey, you have a $5,000 deductible. You need to pay $5,000 for this last emergency room visit.’ Then you tack on the $900 a month that I'd be paying for that insurance. I'd be paying $20K this year for healthcare. So the craziest part about this is even if I have another hospital visit, by the end of this year, I'm still gonna be paying less than I would if I had insurance. At minimum, my cost for healthcare this year would've been $20,000 with insurance. Right now I'm at $2,400.” US Health Insurance is a scam

@GHBSmith @Chappers_11 Were you aware that the protagonists can buy leather pointy lace-up boots as hats? Seriously. There’s soft London tan colour leather hats that on closer inspection is an upside down pointy boot 😄

The community surrounding this game is awesome, so I wanted to try something. I LOVE the dye system in Crimson Desert, it's incredible for a single-player game, but I have nearly no dyes. If anyone stumbles upon some on their adventures, post a map pic below 😁

@Da7_Tech It’s not really a game as such — it’s a crucible for the players imagination. The game such as it is just provides a scaffolding.

10 hours into Crimson Desert and I can say with confidence — this game is something different. We live in an age of Reels, TikToks, and YouTube Shorts that have trained our brains to crave constant stimulation and zero patience. That's been slowly killing our ability to focus, think, and just *breathe*. Crimson Desert goes against all of that. No yellow paint. No handholding. No giant arrows telling you where to go or what to do. This game demands patience, observation, and a willingness to actually engage. And honestly? That's what makes it feel less like a game and more like a cure. It reminds me of what made The Witcher 3 legendary — the way it trusted the player to shape their own journey and get genuinely lost in the world. Crimson Desert may not match that on the story side, but gameplay-wise? It absolutely nails that feeling of immersion. So when I say play this game, I don't mean "give it a shot if you're bored." I mean you *need* to play it. Because in a world that's constantly pulling your attention in a hundred directions, this game will sharpen your mind and give it the stillness it's been missing.

@Da7_Tech False. Before this game was released, thousands of people were playing Slay the Spire 2, which requires significantly more patience than Crimson Desert. Patience isn't the problem. Serving poop on a platter is the problem. Seems your dietary habits include poop. Good for you!

I have a hypothesis on this, @DrTerrySimpson — this is linked to ease, rapidity and intensity of penile erectility which my hunch is being a key indicator of cardiac, venous and circulatory health. Given the human penis is extremely rich in fine capillary tissue, cardiovascular health would be reflected there first and early is my guess. I’m gonna run this past @Grok to see if my reasoning is ballpark correct.

A research links Viagra to a dramatically lower risk of Alzheimer’s. Recent observational research has revealed a striking association between sildenafil (the active ingredient in Viagra) and a substantially reduced risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. In a large-scale analysis of U.S. insurance claims data covering more than 7.2 million people, researchers found that individuals who used sildenafil were 69% less likely to be diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease over a six-year follow-up period compared to non-users. The study, which combined computational drug-repurposing methods with real-world patient data, suggests that sildenafil may offer neuroprotective benefits — possibly by improving blood flow to the brain, reducing harmful protein accumulation, and supporting neuron health. These effects extend well beyond the drug’s original purpose of treating erectile dysfunction and pulmonary hypertension. While the findings are highly promising, experts caution that this is an observational association, not proof of cause and effect. Confounding factors such as lifestyle or overall health could influence the results. To establish whether sildenafil can truly prevent or slow Alzheimer’s, rigorous randomized clinical trials are now needed. If confirmed, repurposing this safe, widely available, and relatively inexpensive medication could become a powerful new strategy in the fight against a disease that affects millions of families worldwide. [Fang, J., Zhang, P., Zhou, Y. et al. “Endophenotype-based in silico network medicine discovery combined with insurance record data mining identifies sildenafil as a candidate drug for Alzheimer’s disease.” Nature Aging 1, 1175–1188 (2021).
