Thank you.
Have you ever reverse engineered anything?
Right now I'm in the process of digging around Petz 5 files. (mostly to learn reverse engineering and I wonder how my childhood games ran)
I'll post some findings here and invite you to do the same.

Trying to extract resource files (images, etc) from the source now. Seems easy, I just followed what https://misthi0s.dev/posts/2026-02-25-extract-resource-ghidra/ said and you basically just export the resources from the label folder in symbol tree. Then you export that as a program and change the file extension to the correct one.
Interesting how the resource hacker couldn't find this for some reason, nor is there an open source resource hacker on github. Maybe I should make my own idk.
I fixed some of the old stuff, found some new functions to hook, and now I want to see how feasible it would be to replace images with my own.
Oh yeah I was supposed to make a logging system and stuff... later.
Candida auris is an emerging, multidrug-resistant fungus (yeast) that poses a serious global health threat. First identified in Japan in 2009, it primarily targets hospitalized patients and people in long-term care facilities who have severe underlying medical conditions or weakened immune systems.candida auris

You can read the CDC About C. auris page for official public health tracking and guidance.
Key Characteristics
Antifungal Resistance: Many strains resist major classes of antifungal drugs, making infections hard or sometimes impossible to treat.
Healthcare Spread: It easily passes from patient to patient and survives for long periods on room surfaces and medical equipment.
Skin Colonization: The yeast can live quietly on a person's skin or in hair follicles without causing overt sickness, acting as a hidden source of transmission.

Symptoms and Risks
Infection Signs: Symptoms vary widely and lack unique features; they often mimic severe bacterial or other fungal sepsis. Common invasive types include bloodstream infections, wound infections, and ear infections.
Risk Factors: Long stays in medical facilities, use of invasive medical devices (like catheters or breathing tubes), recent surgery, and heavy use of antibiotics raise the risk. Healthy individuals rarely fall ill from it.

Mortality: Invasive infections carry a high death rate, often exceeding one in three affected patients.

Diagnosis and Treatment
Specialized Testing: Standard laboratory fungal tests often misidentify C. auris. Advanced methods like mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF) or molecular DNA sequencing are required for accurate detection.
Treatment Options: Doctors typically treat active infections using a class of antifungal medications called echinocandins, though multi-resistant cases require alternative or combination drug therapies.
Today I will be tasting all the sope in my bathroom to see which one tastes the best.

Quite lying, I actually did the experiment that day, I’ve just been so busy to write a script.
Actually no, the blade ran just fine along my hair and did not hurt at all. Shockingly it worked better than I expected.
ARM worked just fine, and I was able to remove a patch quite easily.
LEG same as the arm, it works just fine.
PUSSY I’d you you one better, not only was I able to shave my hair better but the static from the ballon collect my hair leaving for much less hair on the ground.
I’m still going to use shaving cream, but if you’re short just go to a friend’s birthday party. I feel like there is definitely potential for a product or something that uses this principle.
The U.S. just approved a satellite that will beam light to Earth at night.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) recently approved a demonstration license for startup Reflect Orbital’s 'Earendil-1' satellite, which is designed to direct sunlight back to Earth at night using an orbital mirror.
Despite intense pushback from the scientific and ecological communities, the FCC declared that evaluating light pollution, telescope interference, and other non-radio environmental harms falls entirely outside its regulatory jurisdiction. This decision essentially greenlights the test without assessing its optical impacts, leaving a glaring vacancy in federal oversight as private entities look to commercialize artificial space-based lighting.
Astronomers and conservation groups are deeply concerned about the dangerous precedent this ruling sets. The American Astronomical Society has warned of 'catastrophic interference' with federally funded research, while organizations like Dark Sky International emphasize the damaging effects of artificial night light on human circadian rhythms and nocturnal wildlife. If Reflect Orbital succeeds, it plans to deploy up to 50,000 mirror satellites by 2035—a scale of deployment that critics warn would permanently brighten the planet's darkest skies and make ground-based astronomical observations virtually impossible.

If not biologically, then how should we measure age on other planets?
24 messages omitted.
Structuring age laws on other planets should rely on biological milestones, local calendar years, and cognitive development. Key factors include Earth-standard biological age, local planetary year length, and psychological maturity.Biological and Calendar FactorsEarth-Standard Equivalence: Use a standard Earth year baseline (such as 18 or 21 solar years) to ensure physical and brain development are fully complete, no matter how fast or slow the new planet orbits its star.Local Orbital Adjustments: Convert standard developmental milestones into local planetary years. For example, on a planet with a very long year, a "1-year-old" local age might equal multiple Earth years, requiring fractional or decimal age limits.Environmental Stressors: Account for lower gravity or higher radiation, which might speed up or slow down physical growth and require adjusted medical definitions for adulthood.Rights and ResponsibilitiesTiered Privileges: Separate different legal rights—such as voting, driving, contracting, and military service—based on measured hormonal and neurological markers rather than a single arbitrary number.Universal Registry: Maintain a synchronized interplanetary digital registry based on universal Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) or atomic seconds to prevent confusion during space travel between planets.If you'd like, let me know:Is this for a science fiction story or a theoretical space law discussion?What is the orbital period of the target planet compared to Earth?I can help you build a more detailed legal code for your specific world.AI responses may include mistakes.

Here's a /sci/ worthy thread. Desmos is basically a math engine where you can plot graphs, but, it's also capable of something even greater.
Math art and even videogames.
They are even holding art contests! I honestly always wanted to draw something with math so maybe I'll try eventually. I should probably try posting about this on lainchan or something.

I want to share this idea here as well
Kinda just randomly had this idea for a book.
You know how everyone says "if you were sent in time, it's not like you'd be able to transfer any useful scientific knowledge".
So I thought, what if there was a book on exactly that, documenting a bunch of useful concepts, laws, etc, that would give anyone an overview of science overall?
Most importantly it would have something like a contents page so you would be able to skim through everything.

For example, it could be similar to videogame tech trees somewhat, but obviously more complicated.
In fact there's probably a videogame out there with a really elaborate tech tree out there.
I want to start with this first.
The most important techs (if we're transported extremely back) are:
Agriculture
Fire
Writing
Tool making
Maybe shelter building from adobe and wood
Ah yes, mathematics and basic physics too of course.
Also it'd be interesting to build a path from electricity to technology, in fact there are youtube videos on this exact subject. I sure love youtube for how it enables information exchange.
...there's actually a LOT of videos on the subject.
YouTube: HaBMAD-Dr8M this is about the logic gates for example
Animal husbandry if you want to separate it from agriculture. Canines were domesticated very early on, way before than any livestock, and I'm sure their domestication helped with other animals.
Making fabrics and clothing from fur and leather (tanning!), and from various suitable plant materials (perhaps nettle).
I wonder when they started to make cordage. They could use various plants as is, but as with fabrics, some plants can be processed into fibers, and from fibers they could make cordage/rope.
Frankly they figured out Five C of basic self-reliance:
- cutting tools
- cordage
- cover (clothing and shelter, preserving body temperature)
- combustion devices (making fire)
- containers (not necessarily clay pots and such, but stuff like hollowed tree trunks and whatnot)
Also they did agriculture as hunter gatherers: they had a travel cycle, places they visited year round, and they saw seeds at one place (without much cultivation) and when they returned there were some consumable plants, berries, leafy "vegetables", tubers, etc.
Very basic physics, chemistry and biology stuff would make a huge difference. Basics of mechanics and its mathematical handling, making magnets out of iron and electric circuits out of copper, basic hygiene to prevent the spreading of disease etc
Basic technology like the printing press, boiling wood pulp to extract cellulose etc.would an enormous difference. Eg. papermaking and the printing press would allow a very vibrant intellectual life to flourish
