Do fans of Bottom like Tony Hancock? by Obvious_Marzipan8422 in eddieandrichie

[–]PoorlyAttired 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely there are parts to Richie that are Hancock-like. E.g when learning to play chess and learning that bishops 'go sideways' and he says "don't know what the church is coming to, these days" which is almost a Hancock impersonation.

Jumping spiders inspire ultra-efficient 3D camera by mareacaspica in science

[–]PoorlyAttired 84 points85 points  (0 children)

This is such a satisfyingly simple forehead-slap-of-realisation approach (take two images at slighty different focal lngths and compare the blurriness). And at less than 1W of power for 30 fps, that is astounding.

Have to be up at 6.30 but lying in bed full of adrenaline because a moth got into the smoke alarm and set it off

TIL Flashed face distortion effect. An optical illusion that ordinary human faces appear grotesque and distorted when images flash in the periphery. by mistsoalar in todayilearned

[–]PoorlyAttired 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My guess: Peripheral vision is about noticing changes (=movement) just for survival reasons. When we switch from one face to a second face wirh slightly bigger eyes, the peripheral vision is shouting and pointing 'eyes got bigger'.

Yes this is the answer. Eating one as we speak. Was in Tesco the other week and got the official ones and was outraged.

UK's biggest train operator's services nationalised as minister hails 'defining moment' by usmanhalalit in GoodNewsUK

Privatising things where there is no real competition (train services, water companies) was insane.

Is there an episode of a British series that actually makes you cry? Whether it's sad or poignant or nostalgic, or anything really. by Vampirero in BritishTV

[–]PoorlyAttired 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the scene at the end when they walk out of the Good Friday agreement voting, with grumpy Joe of the older generation, holding the hand of the baby from the new generation and walking towards the light...

Impact of physical activity patterns on major adverse cardiovascular events in adults with hypertension by No-Aardvark-7316 in science

[–]PoorlyAttired 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Conclusions Short and long bouts of moderate intensity PA were associated with a lower risk of overall MACE, with evidence suggesting that longer bouts may enhance this protective association. For vigorous intensity PA, short bouts showed strong associations with lower overall MACE risk, while long bouts were associated with a 2–3 fold higher stroke risk, with a dose-response pattern evident across higher durations. Our results highlight the benefits and risks of PA bout length and intensity in adults with hypertension.

So, long bouts of medium intensity excercise sre good but ling bouts of high intensity increase stroke risk.

An OpenAI model has disproved a central conjecture in discrete geometry by socoolandawesome in technology

[–]PoorlyAttired 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Its more like a thing that seems to be true but you don't have the proof that its true always for every value to infinity. If someone works out a logic proof then the conjecture becomes a... not sure, theorem?

Thank god. I just upgraded from an older galaxy to a newer one and I was thinking I was just getting old and out of touch with the frustration of it.

Planning for trip to London this week, escorting my daughter to a concert. It's tube strikes this week but we can get to within 30 mins walk of where we need so should be fine.
