Microgravity Can Permanently Mutate Bacteria And Make Them Faster Breeders
  • 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!

  • Well, Cities: Skylines 2 is here, and it's another broken game release.
  • 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!

  • Every Bethesda RPG, ranked from worst to best
  • 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.

  • Every Bethesda RPG, ranked from worst to best
  • 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!

  • Scientists unlock the secrets of a sixth basic flavor
  • Nope, the anise/liquorice flavour mostly comes from anisole being detected by scent receptors in the nose/mouth, not by taste receptors. The 6th taste that the article is discussing is triggered by ammonium chloride and would probably best be described as an ammonium taste - kinda like how savoury taste mostly comes from the activation of nucleotide and glutamate taste receptors.

  • Russia has tested a nuclear-powered missile and could revoke a global atomic test ban, Putin says
  • Iirc the USA did investigate making them during the cold war but concluded that the (very real) benefits - such as the ability to recall a missile after launching - weren't worth cooking US citizens and allies with radiation from an unshielded nuclear reactor flying at mach 3 just above the surface; they planned to fly as low as 150m!

    Their initial plans basically were to build a nuclear-ramjet "missile" that could fly for several days straight carrying dozens of nuclear warheads, autonomously dropping them on "enemies". The big problem was that it'd have to fly over the USA and/or western Europe in order to reach the USSR.

  • Swiss LGBTQ+ rights groups hail 60-day sentence for polemicist who called journalist a 'fat lesbian'
  • Nah g holocaust deniers, nazis, tankies, homophobes, and all authoritarian capitalists can get fucked. The way that countries like Canada, the USSR, the UK, and the USA protected "useful" Nazis after WW2 is disgraceful, but that doesn't really have anything to do with modern Switzerland shutting down homophobic neo-nazis.

  • Thailand to Welcome Myanmar Coup Leader to Bangkok Summit
  • Doesn't Thailand have a military coup every few years? When I visited back in 2014 there were signs all over the airport telling tourists not to join the protests against the latest military coup or you'll end up in a Thai jail!
