3·6 days agoIt doesn’t come with a controller either. You don’t have to use their controller, so it’s good that it’s an optional purchase.
They used to sell PCs with a keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, and various software all without the option to buy just the PC. It was awful because it made the machine more expensive for the consumer, and it also generated a ton of waste.
If a new PC comes with a keyboard and my old PC also came with a keyboard, one of those keyboards is excessive and will probably end up in the trash as society is overwhelmed by everyone’s excess keyboards. It’s why phones have to all use the same charger now, and they don’t come with a cable.

“More unleserlich.” :3
The placebo effect would like a word.
Easily the best dating sim ever made.
Usually with birds the answer is sexual selection. As a group they seem to have a general preference for bright, colorful things.
No one has this update; humans can only partially digest gluten. The remaining peptides aren’t bothersome for most people, but they’re what trigger things like celiac in some. Even those who tolerate gluten would benefit from an increased ability to digest it.
How so? (I’m assuming OOP is using the common definition of “animal” to exclude humans.)
The Blood Moon is rising… (Terrarian)
This is Crohn’s erasure.
You might like the novel We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves by Karen Joy Fowler. I personally prefer to go into books without knowing much about them, so I will put the premise in a spoiler tag:
the premise
It’s about a woman who was raised from birth with a chimpanzee as her twin sister, as she tries to figure out why her sister suddenly disappeared from her life when they were young, and where she is now.
It has a fairly comic tone, which is very welcome given all the trauma.
37·28 days agoI don’t understand. You don’t need to visit a room to know whether the light is on in it.
No one seems to know how knots work either.
They do need exercise to strengthen their muscles, but humans are designed to shed unused muscle way more readily than either tigers or chimpanzees. They need their strength to navigate their habitats and obtain future meals, while we’re endurance predators capable of walking our prey to death even while emaciated. Excess muscle on a human is a waste of energy, so our bodies will happily scrap it all for free protein.
Any responsible animal-keeper will furnish the habitat with enrichment structures/items that will provide all the exercise their wards require. Poorly-kept animals (or especially lazy ones) will lose muscle tone and put on fat.
The internet says it’s generally harmless, but that it can be associated with other health problems depending on what’s causing it.
The primary cause of hypertophy is mechanical tension, which is achieved by creating resistance against a muscle’s force. Flexing is an isometric exercise, but doesn’t provide much tension and therefore doesn’t stimulate a lot of muscle growth. Climbing offers a ton of tension, both isometrically by holding up your body weight and isotonically by pulling up your body weight. Climbing is usually significantly anaerobic and will damage muscle fibers, which are two other stimulants of muscle growth.
Cardiovascular exercise is good for strengthening heart and skeletal muscles, but not for getting swole. If combined with good diet it can help reduce body fat percentage to achieve a more cut appearance.
They sure do, which is why we have to maintain self-control.
I think they just look like that sometimes. I found a lot of images of tigers with significant definition until finding one I could identify.
This is Luca, and his profile doesn’t say anything about a medical condition.

I think the lighting angle might be doing a lot of the work in the OP image.
e: I actually just want to share some tiger pictures because I like them.
No, corporations wanted it so that they all had proprietary chargers that either you had to pay inflated prices for, or that third parties had to pay fees for to sell you cheaper versions. The only reason they all use USB-C now is because of government regulation.
I don’t need to pay them additional money for a charger because I already have a variety of USB wall adapters and cables, and I could buy them from almost literally anyone if I didn’t. There are whole bins of them in lost-and-founds and secondhand shops.
