Absolutely gigantic Doom mod (although you only need the UZDoom engine, no game purchase needed) dropped last week. What if Hexen was four times the size and had 12 wildly different playable characters. www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/... I like the big demon lady who can ENLARGE at will.

who wants to learn a scent thing I just learned geosmin is the compound responsible for the smell of rain on dry soil which I already knew but apparently we're 200000x more sensitive to it than sharks are to blood, a dilution equivalent to 1 teaspoon in 200 olympic pools????
Geosmin (CAS 19700-21-1, C₁₂H₂₂O, MW 182.30) is a bicyclic sesquiterpene alcohol — specifically, (4S,4aS,8aR)-4,8a-dimethyloctahydronaphthalen-4a(2H)-ol. It is the principal odorant of wet earth. Not an abstraction: the actual molecule your nose detects when rain lands on dry soil, when a beetroot is sliced open, when a Streptomyces colony sporulates in garden compost.

The compound was isolated and named in 1965 by Nancy N. Gerber and Hubert A. Lechevalier at Rutgers University, from cultures of Streptomyces griseus. The name derives from Greek: geō (earth) + osmḗ (smell). Gerber elucidated its structure in 1968 as trans-1,10-dimethyl-trans-9-decalol. Its biosynthesis — from farnesyl diphosphate via germacradienol, through a bifunctional terpene synthase — was not fully resolved until 2007 by Jiang, Cane et al.

Human sensitivity to geosmin is extraordinary. The detection threshold of the natural (−)-enantiomer sits between 5 and 15 parts per trillion — roughly one teaspoon dissolved in 200 Olympic swimming pools. The (+)-enantiomer is approximately 11 times less potent. This hyper-sensitivity is not accidental: geosmin signals the presence of water in soil, which held obvious survival value for early hominids. The olfactory receptor OR11A1 has been identified as the primary detector.

Geosmin is produced by Streptomyces (actinobacteria), several genera of cyanobacteria, and certain fungi including Penicillium species. It is the molecule behind the earthy flavour of beetroot and the muddy taint in catfish raised in pond aquaculture. In water treatment, its presence at concentrations as low as 10 ng/L triggers consumer complaints — a persistent headache for municipal utilities worldwide.To put that in context, a shark can smell blood at one part per million. That means human noses are 200,000X more sensitive to geosmin, which is also the source of the earthy taste in some vegetables, than a shark is to blood. No wonder I hate the taste of beets, my nose is probably better than yours.

There's a really important point in here: the term 'deportation' has become Newspeak. The correct term is "human trafficking" because what this regime is doing fits that description much more than the genteel ideas we hold about 'deportation.'

Tired: Manmade child annihilating zipline beyond physics comprehension Wired: Grok maims a man on a halfpipe then gets him fired, patent advice sought
From r/legal advice:

I used AI to invent a new skateboard trick that coworker tried & he got hurt. Can he sue me?

My coworker & I were using Grok to generate new types of skateboard tricks that have never been done and I used Grok AI to discover a new trick called a “Pipe It,” which is kind of like skating down a halfpipe but using the AI to calculate the physics and angles, we can go a lot steeper when dropping in. We watch a lot of skate videos on our phone during breaks, so we decided to do a type of skate video with new tricks. 

Grok made up this skateboard trick & I told it to be very careful and use science/physics to make sure that it was as cool as possible but also realistic. Basically, a Pipe It is taking a long 2x4 and placing it up against a wall (like 7 ft tall) and sliding down the wood board using the skateboard with the wheels on either side of the 2x4, kind of like grinding Tony Hawk video game style, but straight down. Grok said it would be possible to pop off the board at the last minute to land & that this would have been a brand new trick. 

Anyways, my coworker tried it in the parking lot during our lunch break at work but immediately fell face first into the floor and busted his nose. He had already gotten written up before, so he couldn’t leave in the middle of the day to change, so when we tried to go back in with blood everywhere our boss got mad and told him to go home  maybe he could get called back in for another shift). He hasn’t gotten called back so I think he’s fired.

Now my coworker is saying that the Pipe-It is my fault & he’s going to sue me. Can he do that? even if he can, it’s not my fault because I told Grok to be as safe as possible and to make sure that the Pipe-It was realistic. Basically, he did the trick wrong and is mad that he couldn't do it and that he lost his job. Can I get in trouble? Also, sorry if I can't combine questions, but can I patent the Pipe It so Grok or he can't steal it now that we're fighting?
