  • I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately.

    On non-challenge runs, mistaps are >90% of my deaths.

    A hard stop on taking damage for any reason would be nice. Of those mistap deaths, if it’s not a grim trap or something else instantly fatal, it’s because I missed the attack button or something and went for a long distance jog while getting machinegunned by ranged mobs before I can stop it.

    Specific example:

    At a pizza restaurant I worked at, certain toppings were considered “premium” and cost extra compared to, for example, pepperoni.

    One of those was chorizo. Compared to every other topping except maybe onions, it was by far the cheapest on a per-weight basis for us to buy. The problem was that we couldn’t buy it packaged in amounts for a single pizza, and once we opened the package the health department required us to throw it away after a certain amount of time.

    Chorizo was just popular enough for us to keep it on the menu, but not so popular that we didn’t end up always throwing away some of each package.






  • Hate to break it to you, but going back only 800 years your theoretical number of ancestors outnumbers the total of human beings who EVER lived, let alone how many were alive at the time.

    Pedigree Collapse

    If one considers as a function of time t the number of a given individual’s ancestors who were alive at time t, it is likely that for most individuals this function has a maximum at around 1200 AD. It was suggested in 1985 that everyone on Earth is at most 50th cousin to everyone else, based on a relatively random mating model. Simulations published in 2004 which take into account the geographical separations and less random patterns of mating in real life suggest that some populations are separated by up to a few thousand years, with a most recent common ancestor perhaps 76 generations back, though some highly remote populations may have been isolated for somewhat longer.
