Yeah this thing is dying, gonna leave this here

Paper Lily update & an (unexpected) announcement? 🍉☀️🌻 Hope you'll be as excited as we are! #PaperLily #RichFlavors leef6010.itch.io/paper-lily-cha…

@MBHaz3 She kinda is, she is turning 1 year old in about a month

@OooldG Oh, she looks like a baby herself

Hi, friends One of my cats gave birth today 4 small babies

Unc still got it

I witnessed it live in 2016 when he helped put Brazil on the top of the CS world. One of my fav players to watch and learn from. Legend status more than deserved.

A 15-pound honey badger can survive a cobra bite that would kill a full-grown man in under two hours. Then it finishes eating the snake. A biology grad student at the University of Minnesota wanted to know how. She needed badger blood to find out, and the only samples she could get were from two American zoos in San Diego and Indiana. What she found in the DNA was one tiny change. There's a small socket on your muscle cells that your nerves plug into to tell your muscles to move. Cobra venom kills you by jamming that socket shut, so your lungs stop working. The honey badger's socket has a swapped-out amino acid that gives it a positive electrical charge. Cobra venom is also positively charged. Like magnets pointing the wrong way, the venom gets pushed off before it can lock in, and the muscles keep firing. The same workaround showed up separately in hedgehogs and pigs. Mongooses got there too, with a slightly different molecular trick. Four different animals with no shared ancestor all arrived at the same solution because venomous snakes kept biting them for millions of years. That only covers snakes like cobras and mambas. Puff adders work differently, destroying tissue instead of paralyzing muscle, and the DNA trick doesn't help there. So when a puff adder lands a solid bite, the badger collapses into a kind of coma for two or three hours. Then it wakes up groggy and eats the snake anyway. The skin is maybe the unfairest part of all this. It's about a quarter inch thick, rubbery, and so loose it fits like a wetsuit two sizes too big. A lion can clamp its jaws on a honey badger and the badger will twist halfway around inside its own skin and start clawing the lion's face while still in its mouth. Bee stingers barely get through. Porcupine quills don't either. Which brings us back to the bees in that photo. They're annoying. A few sneak through to the face, and enough stings have killed honey badgers in the wild. Honey badgers still die. But they're running three different defense systems at the same time, and one of them is a genetic lottery ticket evolution has pulled four times.

@OlSantaJoe Ok true, but I think after a bit of time, people will figure out how to make her look broken, the potential is there for sure

@OooldG Well she's not bad, but when compared to other heroes in her class like sojourn or emre, she kinda doesn't hold a candle to them.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems alot of ppl have given up on playing Sierra. Kinda funny how ppl were so worried for her being another hitscan dps, but it seems like she's not so good. Hopefully they don't make her jump the ladder like with emre.

Try to play Hog or Ram, yknow the characters I have the most fun on They go Orisa and win the 1st round I mirror the Orisa and suddenly they don't know how to play the game anymore OW players are all fat fucking chuds

i realized 20 seconds into a match that i wanted to go to sleep and just dced

He looks exactly like the tomato creature meme nooooooooo

Interesting experiment I showed my dad this who is a programmer and now works in AI. (Not on the art side of things but programming) I asked him which image looked better and he consistently preferred DLSS off. He showed me a song he wrote that he put into suno and he then realized how it completely overwrote everything from the original and replaced it entirely with something else. People spend their lives learning and refining these skills, every detail is placed there with intent, and we have failed to acknowledge and respect that. AI has very useful applications but randomizing details and artistic decisions that are intentional choices of the artist is not one of them. We are trying so hard to replicate something we don't need to. Even with all the RAM and processing power in the world and all the destruction it brings environmentally we continue to fall backwards in tech, it's not ready.

when it comes to nature blue is very rare. less than 1 in 10 plants have blue flowers and even fewer animals are blue. part of the reason is that there isn’t a true blue colour or pigment in nature and both plants and animals have to perform tricks of the light to appear blue.
