I like it that the site says the max length…this is not common. I wish it was.

Nice catch! Autocorrect is a pain…

I’ve been loosely following this for years. Great to see it getting close to the deployable state.

Also the eventual stem cell treatment for replacing damaged Inner ear cells

I know, I mean when you are too evil for even Nestle and really any oil company. You need to take a serious look in the mirror.

I feel there is a “No it’s them that are wrong” meme in here somewhere.

You mean like walking down the street or driving to the supermarket for gaming snacks?

Not too difficult.

In time, has such a awesome premise.

But what we got was a “poor little rich girl” story.

Not really, i first used Linux in 2001 or 3… It’s been some time. I think it was fedora 1. I was 21/3.

First installed Linux in 2008, Ubuntu 8.04 and started daily driving Ubuntu 10.04 in late 2010.

Since then I’ve used a lot of different distros, I’m now running mint.

In saying that, my son has only had Linux (and Chromebooks at school), I got him to help install his own system, he was 7 at the time.

• Str 10
• Dex 12
• Con 8-9
• Int 20-24
• Wiz 18-22
• Cha 9-10

Hard to tell, but with 30 as world class, I think a lot of people are underestimating what they are capable of.

As for what I would focus new points into; I should take the +1dex class someone suggested, stretching and yoga are good for you; Cha boosts would give me an outsized advantage in a lot of situations…so Charisma it is.

Nothing about it in the official checks but there may be biases against various disabilities.

Risk/benefit ratio.

The benefit is X the risk is Y, but the risk increases with excess weight, at some point Y exceeds X. Once the risk exceeds the benefit, it no-longer makes sense to perform the procedure.

From the patient point of view, the likelihood of a bad outcome is above the likelihood of a good outcome. They would be worse off getting the procedure; but likely they are only considering the good outcome and wishing away any bad outcome.

From the doctors point of view, they are considering both outcomes and trying to communicate to the patient that it’s not a good option for them. There is also the opportunity cost to consider, they could be helping someone else that is more likely to have a good outcome.

You wouldn’t.

I’ve considered what it would be like to be more “normal”.

Even with all the issues that come with the extra abilities. They are the good kind of problems.

If you want to put a dent in your superiority complex. Go spend a day in a mechanical workshop, try to something that can only be learned by feel and sound…

I understand. More than you realise.

Few people are interested in what I’m interested in, but companionship is not always about our interests.

Sometimes, you just need to be in the same place as others. Doing similar things. No conversion required.

Go find a local planting day, plant a tree or ten.

Most people don’t want a debate, they want pleasant conversation.

How old are you?

This reminds me of me, in my teens and early 20’s.

I’m in my 40’s now, a lot of that attitude is borne out of arrogance. Judging others by your ability,is neither fair or productive, it is also a recipe for continuous disappointment.

Being continually disappointed, will fuck up your mental health. After a certain point, the only person to compare against is your past self. Comparing to others is a excellent method for robbing yourself of any joy or fulfillment.

I mainly get annoyed, when others don’t live up to their own potential; when they offload decisions onto me, that they are more than capable of on their own.

If you really are that smart, I recommend reading philosophy, I’m partial to the Stoic’s, but there’s a lot of good stuff out there.

I think at this point XKCD should be a TLD.

I would join lemmy.xkcd in a heartbeat.

Great response.

The assertion that IQ is pseudoscience, is denying reality. While not an exact measure, it correlates with a lot of other measures of flourishing.

But higher IQ doesn’t necessarily mean happier, or better in any way.

I know some extremely (academically) intelligent people. Some are arrogant pricks, others are really pleasant, others still are really awkward and difficult to talk to outside their specific interests.

Take over Greenland, and rename it Red,White and Blueland

Oh wait that one is already taken!
