Mercury alone is safe enough to handle a bit where you would be mostly worried about breathing too much of its vapor. Organic compounds of mercury on the other hand can kill you within days of a drop touching your skin.

It's pretty obvious that once the sales for the game tanked after the initial release that Bethesda just wrote the game off and reallocated the resources to other projects. There is a good amount of potential in the setting if problems were fixed and mod tools were released but a lot of the bones of the game are just bland and uninteresting.

The expendable rocket is likely a more effective weapon but I just love how the quasar cannon saved me from all of the weapon juggling.

What it really meant when people talk about living fossils etc is that the morphology of the creature has changed very little. Genetically and on a cellular level there would definitely be a lot of changes from their earlier forms millions of years ago. DNA just doesn't stick around for more than a couple hundred thousand years maximum it seems so it's difficult for us to chart those changes that aren't visible in morphology. Creatures that seem to not change drastically in such long scale time usually have niches and environments that haven't changed drastically in their existence.

I used to be really confused by the "fake it 'till you make it crowd" but in the recent years I realized how far it can take you when people just think that you are rich. I really can't wait until this planet sluffs us off like fleas and something better comes along in a million years.

I wonder what portion of that is steam decks.

I'm convinced that these conspiracies are spawned from racism towards non white civilizations. It's easier for them to believe an imagined space God came there and built something rather than the indigenous people. There is also probably some need to believe that we are always at the peak of human progress in all things but in reality the story is more complicated.

I always preferred the term "Arena Shooter" but it may have more specific meaning than any game that vaguely has elements popular in fps games of the 90s that I think "Boomer Shooter" is usually trying to communicate.

The 2cv was actually the original and the bug was the copy.

6-MSITC is found in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, brussel sprouts, ect. We should probably just keep leafy greens in our diet.

I caught it in my 30s and it was two weeks of misery. I had never been that sick with a respiratory virus in my life. It's easy to see it being dangerous for the very young and old.

Raising animals for meat isn't inherently an awful thing for the environment. There is land that is useful for grazing but unsuitable for growing crops. Turning inedible grasses into meat is very useful but industrial scale grain fed and fattened meat production clearly is a problem.
