Things that interested you today

The point of no return in vetoing self-initiated movements

Roughly speaking, we've known for quite a while that movements can be predicted a little in advance by looking at brain signals. So they gamified trying to press a button without being predicted, and found that, yes, people do signal movements in advance - but that said movements can be canceled up to ~200ms before the actual movement.

Weird.

It has been determined that Trump is an average unladen swallow travelling northbound at his maximum sustainable speed of -3 Obama-cubits per second in the middle of a class 3 hurricane.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

This thread seems... well, even more superfluous than the most superfluous of the already-existing emotion threads. :P

If there's any cause worth dying for, it's memes.

Apparently the Indian restaurant right near my house sells dosa. That's right, muthafuckin' dosa. The holy grail of Indian foods.
Time to go find out if they do it right. I am pretty hungry right now...

Double-posting to say I have discovered the greatness of Sonny Chiba.
Apparently the dude has an entire old TV show of him being a Samurai and going around murdering the shit out of people! Time to order the box set!

Edit: Oh shit, apparently there's at least three of those. How do I decide which to watch first?!
