Super interesting; I wonder whether the fraction of nodes that need to be represented by cycles eats into the performance benefit vs. other approaches.

Game Genie Sokolov is one of the most talented chiptune / FM-synth artists out there. I especially recommend the albums Signal Loss and Insert Disk 02. Not game music, she writes all-original songs.

Degaussers use varying magnetic fields in a specific way, it's not raw field strength doing the erasing.

We have to go deeper!

I love how often seemingly simple questions just get fuzzier the closer you look at them.

It reminds me of the surprisingly deep rabbit hole regarding the first video game. People often say it's Tennis for Two, but there's not really a clear single answer!

The Ball two-piece-lid is pretty rad.

I don't need them to be that nice, and I'd much rather pay a bit more than lug bulky extra components around.

I use my laptop's speakers all the time; why would I want to bust out external speakers when I can have perfectly usable ones built in? Doubly so when I'm not at home!

Precisely why I say 'unlikely'. For every couple who's happy without physical intimacy, there are probably ten others that are falling apart. Saying that kisslessness signals disfunction is not the same thing as saying that hypersexuality signals health.

At the end of the day, everyone is different and it's not possible to infer anything about an individual couple by looking at averages and correlation. It's still interesting to look at trends and why they might be the way they are.

Five seconds or less is a huge smallest bucket for kiss duration! At the five-second threshold you're already entering make-out territory.

Plus, people whose kisses average one second are having a very different experience than those who average around four seconds.

Seems like a poorly-designed statistic to me. I wonder if they felt they needed such coarse granularity because the data is collected by survey and people struggle to bucket themselves well.

It's a key symptom, I'd say. Relationship health is a deep and subtle thing, but if people aren't kissing then it's unlikely things are going well.

Sex is a hell of a drug when it comes to diversity.
