Comment They just gave him cancer. (Score 2) 20

As a Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma patient I also have cells multiplying out of control inside my lymph nodes and with a metabolic rate comparable to liver cells.
You're going to give him a liver in the thyroid and bone marrow. The lymph nodes also connect with your blood stream so it can easily spread to every part of your body and then you'll have 200 livers growing inside of you. That's also what happens in the terminal stage of liver cancer. LOL
And the new livers, assuming they don't clog your lymphatic system, will create pressure on other organs just like cancer does. Enlarged lymph nodes in your abdomen, specifically, will compress the intestine and cause epic constipation issues. My thyroid tumor makes it hard to swallow food and they say they won't take it out unless it turns malignant or makes it harder to breathe.

Comment Golden sge of TV series (Score 3, Insightful) 74

I have found there's a lot more stuff I can cheaply watch than play. Very high quality material in great abundance. And I already played enough shooters in the 90s. Games are full of ads and grind. Why bother doing something repetitive to get a bit of storytelling when you can just watch a movie?

Comment It's not so much the browser that needs to be fast (Score 4, Insightful) 55

People writing pages these days don't even bother optimizing images and have 300 divs inside each other for a layout not terribly different from what we had in the 90s. And loads of dependencies like giant CSS and JS files and god knows what. It's nice they have gigabit connections but I would still like to browse the web when I have low signal. Which happens a lot in ye olde Europe when you go inside 500 year old stone buildings.
Do note: I used to work for a startup that targeted developing countries with 10 year old low-end phones etc... with clever use of unicode/emojis instead of images and very tight hand-coded svg I once made a webpage in 16KB. I use lots of image optimization tricks from the old days, like lowering image color depth to 16 bit and whatnot.
