The doctors said I have a good chance of survival, so I'm not too worried. The cancer took a long time to diagnose because it's a rare subtype, but I can't complain because it was found accidentally when an unrelated harmless lump was being examined. My treatment starts in two weeks.

Mikä on epätodennäköisin sattuma, johon muistat fiktiivisen tarinan ratkaisun nojanneen?
Esimerkiksi 90-luvun lopun Tex Willerissä rosvojoukko otti haltuunsa maatilan ja piti asukkaita vankeina. Rosvot joivat vettä talon kaivosta. Yhtäkkiä jokin tauti kaatoi heidät kuolleina maahan. Selitys: Kaivoon oli juuri pudonnut meteoriitti, jossa oli maapallon ulkopuolista elämää.

2025-07-01T19:36:10Z

Here's how I edit screenshots of the 80*25-character VGA text mode to simulate the CRT look:
1) Take a screenshot of DOSBox. (It has square pixels and no extra pixel column between the 8*16-pixel characters.)
2) Add 1 black column to the right side of each character. (VGA does this in some text modes.)
3) Double the width and the height. Use nearest neighbour interpolation.
4) Make every 2nd pixel row of the characters lighter and the rest darker. This simulates the gaps between the horizontal sweeps of the electron beam.
5) Aspect ratio correction: Resize the width to 20/27 of the original. Keep the original height. Use linear interpolation. The ratio comes from (4/3)/((80*9)/(25*16)) where 4/3 is the aspect ratio of old screens and (80*9)/(25*16) is the aspect ratio of the image with square pixels.

More approximate formulas:
- Celsius to Fahrenheit: add 14, then double. No more than 5 °C (9 °F) off between -25…65 °C = -13…149 °F ≈ -22…158 °F.
- Fahrenheit to Celsius: subtract 28, then halve. No more than 5 °C (9 °F) off between -22…158 °F = -30…70 °C ≈ -25…65 °C.
