  • I’m sorry you had that experience. Personally I didn’t think Dread’s bosses or levels were significantly harder than classic entries in the series, and some are straight up cake-walks once you know the patterns.

    Regarding the instant death, it really didn’t bother me. In the older games, you would find hazardous rooms that you couldn’t progress through without a suit upgrade. The rooms with the E.M.M.I function the same way, except you get to interact with them instead of just turning around to explore elsewhere. They enhanced my fun with the game.

    I’m glad Dread was generally well-received, but I guess it would be nice if they made an assist mode for people who just want the story, and the dopamine from killing a boss without having to try multiple times.





  • I was curious, so I tried to find the article. Here is an excerpt from NPR that I found first:

    Panama sends 97 U.S. deportees to migrant camp after they refused to be repatriated
    PANAMA CITY — Panama transferred about one-third of the deportees from various nations it had received from the United States to a camp in its Darien province Wednesday, an area that became the main thoroughfare for migrants traveling from South America to the U.S. border in recent years, security officials said late Wednesday.
    The migrants sent to Darien had refused to voluntarily be repatriated to their countries and will be held there until third countries can be found to take them, said a Panamanian official familiar with the situation who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the matter.

    Please correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems like the US sent the deportees to Panama, and all of this is happening at their governments discretion. Obviously they are in this situation because of the US, which I am not happy about, but it doesn’t seem to follow that the Trump regime is sending people to concentration camps based on this event.

    Edit: Someone else linked the original article, which has more details.

    Context, the deportees aren’t even all from Central / South America. At least one mentioned was Iranian. So it seems the US is just sending people to Panama who didn’t even necessarily originate from there, so that the US doesn’t have to deal with them anymore. Seems disgusting.










  • The best low hassle printing is going to be resin. You can get a decent Elegoo or Anycubic model for only a few hundred dollars. The only real hassle is cutting supports, washing your prints, and curing the resin. In my experience, water washable resin is the way to go.

    Of course, depending on what you are printing, you may not have as much use for a resin printer.

    Obligatory ventilate your work area and use your ppe.

    Edit: not sure why downvotes. Is this sub anti-resin?


  • “The rule in question, known as Bredt’s rule in textbooks, was reported in 1924. It states that molecules cannot have a carbon-carbon double bond at the ring junction of a bridged bicyclic molecule, also known as the “bridgehead” position. The double bond on these structures would have distorted, twisted geometrical shapes that deviate from the rigid geometry of alkenes taught in textbooks.
    …A paper published by UCLA scientists in the journal Science has invalidated that idea. They show how to make several kinds of molecules that violate Bredt’s rule, called anti-Bredt olefins, or ABOs, allowing chemists to find practical ways to make and use them in reactions.”
