Could potentially be used to create better strains of "good bacteria" such as the extremely important ones that make up the human gut microbiome. I could see it maybe being useful for the development of antibiotics and vaccines too!

Anybody else a bit weirded out by the fact that some 1/4 of the article is spent talking about fringe religious beliefs rather than the actual awesome history of the site?

Yeah pretty sure there's cave art in France that's 2-3x as old as that

Could you please show me the people defending Nazis here on 196?

It's possible to be opposed to authoritarian state-capitalism and opposed to Nazism at the same time!

Yeah it's the TLD for the country of Mali

Going by the "demonized in the West" part they're probably talking about North Korea, Russia, Eritrea, and the like.

Yeah IMO it's far better for games like Cities Skylines to use as much RAM as they can - especially once mods start coming out! I've had times where my heavily modded version of CS1 wanted 16+ gb of memory because loading assets from RAM is way faster than loading from SSD/HDD!

Goddamn I haven't thought about that VN in about a decade, pretty sure it was to blame for me getting quite into anime for a few years!

Daggerfall has most of that, and has extra stuff like the ability to climb walls without magic! IMO the dice-roll combat also feels way better in Daggerfall than in Morrowind.

Personally I feel that way about Morrowind - mechanically it's like a stripped down, worse version of Daggerfall while also being an inferior implementation of a fully 3d game than Oblivion.

Yeah personally I reckon that Oblivion and Daggerfall are the two best TES games ever made - both are better than Morrowind, and significantly better than Skyrim.

I also reckon that Starfield will be up there with Oblivion and Daggerfall a couple years after the modding tools are released!

Depends on how old you are - dust from half a century ago didn't have any microplastics in it!
