  • Maybe it was just family physically in the room? You could monitor the air composition with a video feed from elsewhere, even just a room over.

    EDIT: Ok just read through the article:

    “the death took place in the open air under a canopy of trees in a private forest retreat near the German border with the association’s co-president, Dr. Florian Willet, the sole person present.”

    So he wasn’t present or nearby, but someone else from the company was.

    Also this bit sticks out to me (emphasis mine):

    “On displaying cogency and an understanding of the stakes, it becomes possible push the button to activate the process, which cannot then be aborted.”

    I wonder if this is a legal sticking point? If someone presses it and immediately has second thoughts, shouldn’t they have the freedom to open it and cancel the process?
















  • TL;DR Trailer Steve looks bad

    This dialogue is an established meme, with the punchline that “thing at home” is a worse version of the thing you want (i.e. Can we get McDonalds? No, we have food at home).

    The teaser trailer for “A Minecraft Movie” just dropped, and shows Jack Black as the game’s default character, Steve.

    So, the original conceit of the meme doesn’t apply (the “Steve at home” is already the better version) but rather it’s saying that trailer Steve looks bad.
