  • Hmm the article I read about it previously seems to be eluding me, I’m going to keep looking for it. From what I remember of the other article, the short of it is, in android, location services can turn on your bluetooth at any point and does every time it gets pinged by google without you turning it on, and they are rolling out a new feature to automatically turn it back on next version. Here’s an adjacent article that talks about one of the future android features, where you can have your phone found even when powered off, and that is using location services, which does involve bluetooth.





  • ROM is not a spider. This is because of inaccurate translation + ambiguity of story telling. She is an arachnid, but if you look at her and her offspring she’s very much so a type of Parasitiformes, which include ticks and lice. This makes more sense than a spider, because Parasitiformes are known for drinking the blood of hosts, and blood consumption is a theme of gaining the mutations in the setting. Hard ticks are an example of parasitiform that have a hard head, and soft body, which are also properties of Rom.

    I imagine that this ticks or mite lived within the college on the heads of the students and possibly Willem himself, and drank their blood, causing the mutation to be of huge size and all the other benefits of drinking blood in the setting.


  • I’m thinking, since it wasn’t written down until centuries after it supposedly happened, that the most likely answer is that it was just bullshit.

    Your basis for discounting it is “it wasn’t written down.” That’s all oral tradition. I wasn’t trying to argue with you, I just wanted to see an amendment to your statement that recognized that this sentence is inaccurate. Seeing as you’re rolling back on it, I’ll take it as such.
