Ok but I love this for a lot of reasons:

1. Excellent pun

2. Wasn’t snow white kept in a glass coffin while she slept? Very vintage fairy tale aesthetic.

3. A few people pointed out in the tags that a full-sized glass coffin would be a terrific terrarium for lots of the already spooky critters you keep in terrariums- tarantula, toads, snakes, carnivorous plants etc. And the coffin shape would give them lots of space and take the spookiness to maximum.

Female Royal Flycatcher (via)

@itsbenedict writes: 

#that’s a *female*???#do flycatchers flip the usual plumage signaling behavior for birds#or do the males look even MORE outlandish

And the answer is that, depending on species, the males look about the same, just with different-coloured hats.

Observe.

@elodieunderglass

it’s important to have a good hat

GOOD HATS

I think fast travel has done some bad stuff for video game design

We can’t get rid of it because players have become so impatient, but every open world video game improves a lot when you actually do take the time to walk from A to B. I noticed this primarily with Skyrim, that the despite how ugly the game is it does have decent atmosphere and enough random events that only crop up during travel in the wild, and games with even better environments and atmosphere are only better. 

Even if there isn’t much in the way of random events I think just that feeling of travelling along roads makes the experience so much better.

Fallout 1 and 2 kinda worked around this by having “fast travel” work across the map and periodically throw you into random encounters as your dotted line progressed.

I’ve used fast travel mods in STALKER and it really fowls up the gameplay, since the core of Stalking as a thing is to fucking crawl from point A to point B

For this reason, i feel like the Haruspicus, the Bachelor and the Devotress are technically stalkers.

Zelda BotW has a sort of fast travel system in which you teleport to fixed points in the map, but to do so you have to actually explore and find them, and its entirely up to you if you want to use them.

It also gives you the ability to capture and tame horses for faster travel, which once registered can be left abandoned at random places and then summoned in ranches all over the map, but again, you get to choose if you use them or not.

And the game constantly encourages travelling by foot with secrets, puzzles and random events like falling stars and flying dragons you can shoot an arrow at to get a very useful scale from them.

So if you want to chill and explore, you can, if you want to get from X to Y fast but still keep the ability to stop and look around, you can, and if you just want to move the story forward, that’s what the teleport system is for!

And since roads are optional too, you can just scale that mountain and get to your objective as you seem fit, although that usually means facing extreme weather or powerful monster encounters.

Fast travel is the soul-sucking compromise between gamers just wanting levels in a linear narrative and developers insisting on OPEN WORLD OPEN WORLD OPEN WORLD.

Witcher 3 had a pretty good fast travel system, where you could only fast travel at a road mark.

How to hack any hospital computer

-Use the password taped to the monitor

How to hack any hospital computer (L337 version for advanced security systems)

-Use the password taped to the back of the monitor

As a computer guy: This is what happens when you have too much security. It reaches a tipping point and then suddenly you have none.

Security at the cost of convenience comes at the cost of security.  

This is true of so many things in healthcare.  Example: our software is designed to automatically alert the doctor if a patient’s vital signs are critically out of range.  If someone has a blood pressure of 200/130, the doc gets a pop-up box that they have to acknowledge before doing anything else.  It makes sense, in our setting.

But then some mega-genius upstairs realized something: the system was only alerting for critical vital signs, but not for all vital signs that could possibly be bad.  Like, yeah, 200/130 is potentially life-threatening, but 130/90 is above ideal and can have negative effects on health.  Should the doctors be allowed to just ignore something that could negatively affect a patient’s health?  Heavens no!

So now the system generates a pop-up for any vital signs that are even slightly abnormal.  A pressure of 120/80 (once considered textbook normal, now considered slightly high) will create the pop-up.  We have increased our vigilance!

Well, no, what we’ve actually done is train doctors to click through a constant bombardment of pop-ups without looking.  We’ve destroyed their vigilance and made it much easier for them to accidentally skim past life-threatening vital signs.

But you can’t tell that to management, because you’d have to confess that you are a flawed human with limited attention resources.  They’d tell you “well, all the other doctors take every abnormal vital sign seriously, it sounds like you’re being negligent.”  And if you’re smart, you back down before you start telling the big boss all about your habit of ignoring critical safety alerts.

The end result is exactly the same as if we had no alerts at all, except with more annoying clicking.

this here is an absolutely fascinating overview of how and why this happens
