I wonder how a store that sells anti-theft tags prevents theft?

What development weirdness resulted in chargin' chucks being considered powerups by super mario world's code?

Most everything can be cute if you're willing to actually look.

People think bats are scary, but then if you look at bats they're actually really cute. People are afraid of snakes, but just look at the silly face of a hognose and you can't find that frightening! Rats may be scary if one runs across the floor in what you had thought was a rodent-free house, but if you actually meet one they're really smart and friendly.

Take the time to get to know an animal, and you'll find them worth knowing.

Goodnight, everyone. May you dream of wonders.

What is it exactly that makes sodium ion batteries so difficult? Is it just the relative size of the sodium ion being much bigger than lithium ions?

Just saw a fascinating idea: countersink holes into wood or plastic by using a dremel to cut a notch into a screw head of the same type that you're going to use in the hole to make a cutting surface, and using a screwdriver drill bit, use the modified screw as a drill bit to make the countersink.

Baba Is You is a very difficult game. The puzzles are well-designed but extremely hard and I'm trying to get through all of them without any hints but I might need to give up on that and ask for hints. Anyone here who's completed the game and could provide some hints? Not solutions, just hints.

Imagine a video game, a grand strategy game on the scale of Civilization, but where, every time two armies do battle, the game changes to a Fire Emblem style tactics game, and then on top of that, every time two units engage in combat, it turns into a fighting game.

A game of this would probably take an exceptionally long time to complete.

It's odd to think how commonly things like ammonia and bleach are used for cleaning, when you know how dangerous they are.

Well, I actually managed to sleep all night without waking up in the middle of the night this time. I hope that means this cold is going away.

"real" and "fake" are not very useful concepts when it comes to identity. Rather, throw them both out and judge things based on usefulness, helpfulness, or just how comfortable or appropriate they feel to the person or persons in question. There will be a lot less stress and imposter syndrome.

The fact that music tends to be written around eight note scales with uneven spacing between them seems very arbitrary. I suppose there's a mathematical origin to it, but it seems strange.

I just saw a youtube video from an amateur chemist using vodka for a stock solution of ethyl alcohol and I find that amusing. Though effective, as I imagine anything food-grade is going to be pretty close to lab-grade!

Goodnight, all. May you rest well and awake refreshed!

Hey @monorail, how were you making custom Baba Is You levels yesterday? I'd like to play around with that but I don't seem to have access to any sort of level editor. Is it hidden somewhere?

I wonder if it's physically possible to have a material that is simultaneously a superconductor and a semiconductor; i.e., something that has a bandgap on the order of 1~3 eV, but which also permits the formation of a Bose-Einstein condensate of Cooper pairs.
