Hot tubs are disgusting. Japanese hot springs are the way to go. Constant circulation of water and fully drained and scrubbed daily.

Bacteria water just sitting at toasty temp forever seems like a terrible idea.

This made me very smug because canada protein ( where I get my protein) does 3rd party batch testing and I can look up how much lead is in mine (less than 0.02ppm)

They are hava 25% sale today btw

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

Agile game development is based on the delusion that game art production resembles software development in any way

Eva is basically what you describe, but the mech is your dead mom. At least I think, it's been close to 30 years so I could've remembered it wrong.

Masao Kobayashi @megamasao.bsky.social · 4d

So like Eva but its not your mom?

Seriously Devs nor business people want normies at GDC.
Hotels are already overbooked and expensive.
Business attendance around GDC was already way down last year they'll just say fuck it and focus on Dice which is what they already want to do.
