  • That makes me wonder.

    I don’t, or rather, can’t picture things in my mind.

    I always thought that phrase was just a phrase, it had some archaic reference but the phrase remained or some shit.

    Nope. Turns out I just lack that ability.

    That being said, for those of us who can’t or just don’t picture things, would our pupils adjust the same way?


  • I mean the positive of a thought experiment is almost anyone can do it.

    The negative is that most people don’t have the scientific rigor to draw proper conclusions from their hypothesis, and may leave out very important data because it’s outside their perspective to even consider.

    Easily tainted, and not reproducible.

    It’s a good first step, and in the right setting can be very valuable.

    Jim Bob musing on the nature of the universe is fine, until we start basing real world action on simple musings without actionable data.








  • I’ve got the hardware to use VR on my gaming rig.

    But between the entry cost for the actual VR equipment, and the sheer lack of games that look interesting I don’t see the point in it.

    Then again, the lack of games that look interesting isn’t just a VR problem - to me at least.

    Repeating patterns of slight upgrades to visuals, mechanics I grew bored of a decade ago, etc.

    I used to rip on Madden/FIFA/Sports games in general for that crap, but it seems to be the trend.

    That being said, I’ve felt jaded about games since I was a teen, and that was a long time ago, but there was always something to keep my attention.

    Don’t really have any other majornhobbies though, so I’m at a bit of an impasse on that subject. I do spend more time with my wife though, lol.






  • I’d actually believe it if they looked like they had a long shift, and a lot of hospital shifts are already 12 hours, at least in my experience supporting various medical systems (as in groups of hospitals, clinics, etc).

    Then they can have their scrubs on for a short little “check in” with viewers. Most people who wear scrubs sweat their asses off all day, and most likely have at least one strangers bodily fluid on them. They change out of it.

    My wife, for example once came home, stripped in the laundry room and tossed it in the wash, then went to shower. She wouldn’t speak of what happened. Her position is also unlikely to deal with bodily fluids, but there we were. She also carried a pair of scrubs in her car trunk in case she needed to change mid shift.

    Shit, sometimes quite literally, happens in hospitals and no one is immune.
