  • fun fact, days have actually been getting longer pretty much since formation of earth (well moon to be correct). reason iirc is that moon is slowly moving away from earth, and this results in some dynamics changing and as a result earth spins slower. like billions of years ago, it was closer to 23 hours.

    ps - very rusty memory right now, should have skipped writing instead of half borked fact






  • From the reports that i have read (am indian), 20+ generics are expected, within roughly 2 months or so, with previous price being something along 10k INR (roughly 100USD) a month to about 3-4k INR (30-40 USD) a month. Drugs have always been kinda cheap here (as an example, a simple paracetamol (tylenol) tablet costs 1 INR (~1cent US)), so it is still expensive (for vast majority, it is more than 2-3 days of work), but much better. hope people use this cautiously though with reasonable expectations.




  • i have not played totk, but i have done the final fight of botw. botw is one of those games which is designeed to not have any post game, i guess you already know this, but if you do the final fight and defeat ganon, you see some cutscenes, you see credits, and then game is over, you do not get to be in a world where you have defeated ganon. if you continue, you resume from last save before ganon fight. it is the director’s prefered way (with which i do not completely agree, but sure, i respect it), so i do not think it necessarily ends the fun. (i actually had to defeat him thrice because of some glitches, i could not complete the scripted part of end fight twice). once you resume, you can “complete” the run, like complete all missions, all shrines ( i had only done some 30-40 before fight i guess), explore in general, buy a house, and you can keep on doing the final fight n number of times with different difficulties, like no healing, no weapons, etc.




  • I have 2 lines of though to explain this, both going totally different ways.

    I am not a chemist, and polymeric science is arguably my worst. so take everything with lots of salt

    I do not know your sex (yes), but for the first one it maybe matters.

    Humans basiccaly have best perception of greens. we have 3 kinds of cones (color detecting cells) and it is basically blue and green and a little redder green (it effectively works as red detector), and we percieve much better granularity in green color spectrum. also those who are female at birth are better at this (some source that i remeber said something in line of 10x more colors observable by females than males). so it is possible all kinds of dyes degrade, and wwith greens you are better able to percieve it. this is in theory testable by perfectly caliberated camera and lighting and displays, and measuring the pl response (doable in a lab setup).

    more likely reason is dyes degrade. dyes are often organic (organic in sense of carbon containing) aromatic or more generally resonant structures designed to have absorption in specific ranges. the wavelengths they absorb the most, or reflect or transmit (as in allow it to pass) determines their colors. for example, our sun has peak emmision around green wavelengths, and life on earth evolved too roughly reject that (they absorb lower and higher wavelengths, if they absorb the most common, they probably die faster). if i remember correctly, organic dyes in paint often absorb the wavelength and then emit (resonance, the color being the resonant frequency) the light, so green dyes get the most common light (assuming the paint is applied on a surface recieving sunlight, if not, with leds for example, it is a bit bluer), and hence has a higher degradation rate. dyes degrade by general oxidation or any other chemical reaction, and that could also be possibly more likely on certain pigments as compared to others, and thegreen one just might be more reactive one. If pigment is inorganic, then it is whole different can of worms - whatstarting compound - lets say FeO (II), which may oxidise further (green -> brown) or something else.

    Without much to go by, there are just so many possibilities.
