  • There are brain surgeries where you just chuck out the extra to get to the parts you want to work on, eloquent vs non-eloquent tissue. And epilepsy surgery where they completely disconnect the halves. Recently read a pretty good book on this.

    If you skip the first chapter, and then stop once he starts talking about anything other than neuroscience The Immortal Mind is a great overview of this by an extremely talented neurosurgeon who has dog shit views on literally everything else. Still worth it for the good parts but I warned you.


  • Wait though, why is the offer not valid in MN? What’s the law there?

    Edit: ok, I looked it up. They passed a law in 2014 that if your sold more than $5k worth coins in a 12 month period you have to do a bunch of registration paperwork with the department of commerce. Want to guess why? Predatory Sellers with limited time offers, high pressure tactics, heavily marked up coins, you get it. What a coincidence.












  • Not even about the single player for me at all. I probably put a thousand hours into the multiplayer. It just kept giving you more the more you were willing to put into it. It was insanely deep and the mind games were unreal. Even better that it was still the days before SBMM, so you could really see the skill gap. You’d demolish newer people and then get absolutely dumpstered two games later, learn things you didn’t know were possible.

    And I can’t stress enough that there was voice, so not only did a spy grabbing you make a bong that scared you enough to poop your pants if you were laser focused. They could say stuff to you, or worse whisper it to you and then break your neck.






  • I’m not quite sure about this one. I think that the current design on the reverse is an issue. But the front doesn’t seem to break any laws.

    I’m assuming they print these under subsection Y of 31 U.S. Code § 5112 - Denominations, specifications, and design of coins. Which pertains to these 250th anniversary coins.

    The part I see mentioned in this thread frequently applies to a separate subsection (n) for a run of $1 presidential coins that has since ended.

    If you just read subsection Y in a vacuum, they are good to go. This part at the bottom though says that the reverse can’t be a ‘portrait’.

    So this isn’t really slam dunk illegal, but I don’t think that the draft of the coins reverse will make it to print. I would fully expect the front to come out just like that though based on my interpretation.

    (aa)Standards and General Provisions for Circulating Collectible Coins Under Subsections (x), (y), and (z).—

    (1)Prohibition on certain representations.—

    No head and shoulders portrait or bust of any person, living or dead, and no portrait of a living person may be included in the design on the reverse of any coin under subsections (x), (y), and (z).
