axsyse,

I’m not sure about other EU countries, but Vyvanse (lisdexamphetamine, a prodrug form of dexamphetamine) is legal in Germany under the name Elvanse

axsyse,

She was born October 13th, 1989. That means she’ll be 35 by the time of the election in November, not to mention before the inauguration in January (the date that actually matters). So, she’s definitely eligible.

axsyse,

But regardless: she’ll be 35 by the point of the election anyway so it’s a non-issue to begin with.

axsyse,

Her birthday is in late October. She’ll barely be 35 by the point of the election in November, but she will still be 35. So, she’d be 35 both when elected, and when inaugurated. It’s a non-issue.

axsyse,

5 meters is definitely way too short for the chair swing ride. Look at the people in the seats. It’s definitely at least 10 meters.

Assuming 10 meters and 100 km/h, that gives about 7.9 g. That’s in the range of what fighter pilots might experience and well beyond where most people black out, so that’s still definitely too high.

Looking it up online, this is a pretty classic physics problem and the numbers you might see around it are closer to a radius of 12 meters and a speed of 13 to 17 m/s. Taking that as 15 m/s (54 km/h), that works out to about 1.9 g, which I can subjectively say feels much closer to the real value if you ever ride on one of these.

So, the second one is about 1.9 g

axsyse,

This is valid and I hate it.

Anyway, according to Wolfram Alpha’s calculation (because I’m lazy), my car has a fuel economy of 2.126x10^11 inverse hectares

axsyse,

Of note, it also straight up doesn’t work on Tom Bombadil. He is immune to its temptation, and it doesn’t make him invisible.

axsyse,

DEUTSCH

axsyse,

That one is only going to be an annular eclipse, unfortunately. That’s basically just a fancy partial eclipse, and far from a total eclipse.

axsyse,

It’s not reasonable to assume that most people are going to self-host, or even how to go about doing that if they wanted to, but people still deserve a right to privacy and products that support that. I think that’s what they were trying to say

axsyse,

So given the absurd cost of missiles and military equipment in general, that can’t be more than what, a few missiles?

axsyse,

Ah, that makes a lot of sense. That’s what I get for lazily reading the headline, lol

LEAKED VIDEO: Texas Republicans Attended Meeting with Group That Suggested Violence and Jail For Women who Have Abortions and Use IVF (www.texasdemocrats.org)

AUSTIN, Texas – Leaked video shows Hood County Constable Scott London, Hood County GOP Chair Steve Biggers and Hood County GOP Chair candidate Greg Harrell attending a meeting held by Abolish Abortion Texas (AATX) where they supported the death penalty for women who seek abortions or use IVF, including pregnant minors. London...

axsyse,

Not to mention: that’s punishing people who are specifically, deliberately TRYING to become parents. They’re probably among the LEAST likely to get abortions.

There isn’t any logic. The cruelty is the point.

axsyse,

Not all trains. I’ve yet to see a subway with one

axsyse, (edited )

Just gotta say: as someone who grew up going to a Unitarian Universalist fellowship, “cool” is just such an understatement. I stopped going as a teen, but they’re an incredibly warm, open, and accepting bunch. I hope you’ll end up near a UU fellowship sometime. They’re such a great (albeit quirky at times) group of people.

For anyone who doesn’t know about UUs: It’s kinda a weird decentralized meta-religion whose whole thing is basically just accepting that we all have different experiences in life. Their idea of “religious education”/Sunday school is more or less “here’s what a handful of major world religions believe, now go find what works for you and make sure to respect what works for others too”. You’ll find monotheists, polytheists, and atheists under one roof. I know it sounds like that would work, but it works surprisingly well. It isn’t about what you believe, so much as how you go about it.

Disable tracking on Chevy Bolt 2019 (sh.itjust.works)

OnStar reports location and speed data to the car manufacturer. Sometimes they will sell this data to insurance companies to raise your premium, as several news stores pointed out a few weeks ago. I couldn’t really find an advantage to OnStar, (I have my phone to call emergency services) so I disabled it by pulling it’s...

axsyse,

Nope. I got my license about two years ago, and my rates have only gone up. I got my license a little over a month before turning 25, which may or may impact things

axsyse,

Unfortunately, I always take a look around whenever my policy renews (every 6 months) and the one I’m with always manages to be at least a couple hundred bucks cheaper than others. Maybe it’ll be different for me in a couple years ¯_(ツ)_/¯

axsyse,

I recently had a complaint with a website:

“Users are having trouble scrolling!”

My response:

“Are they using the scroll wheel/directly scrolling with the touchpad, or using the scroll bar?”

They were, of course, using the scroll bar. I am now somehow responsible for design choices made at the level of the browser, because browsers have decided that the scroll bar should be nigh impossible to use. Yippee.

axsyse,

There are billions of cows, chickens, etc. in the world. Purely by numbers, those species are incredibly successful. Yet, If not for humans finding them tasty and easy to manage, we would not have bred them to this degree and they wouldn’t have reached this degree of success. Somehow, against all odds, being tasty/something we want to eat has somehow become an incredibly valuable and successful adaptation.

Evolution is absolutely wild, and this really drives home the fact that evolution isn’t about the individual’s likelihood of survival, but their likelihood of reproduction.

axsyse,

Evolution doesn’t really care about quality of life, so long as an organism still reproduces. If every organism in a species is in horrendous, absolutely unconscionable pain and suffering for their entire existence but always manages to successfully pass on their genes, then the species can absolutely be deemed “successful”. In a way, we have a symbiotic relationship with e.g. cows: even if we cause them mass suffering as individuals, as a species our relationship is mutually beneficial and that’s all evolution really cares about at the end of the day.

axsyse,

FINALLY

axsyse,

She’s not even holding the flute right. I’m not sure the Lord will appreciate her fingerings

axsyse,

I have ADHD. This has two consequences:

  1. My ADHD meds are a diuretic, so on days when I take them I expel more water than I otherwise would. Making matters worse, I feel like when I take them I often just don’t really get thirsty. As a result, if I don’t pretty actively remind myself to drink water then I can easily find myself only noticing that I’m thirsty when I’m noticeably pretty dehydrated. Like, “wtf why are my eyes so dry? Oh right I don’t think I’ve had any water since like yesterday morning”.
  2. On days when I don’t take my meds (weekends), I might notice I’m thirsty but then just get distracted by something and forget about it for hours. The same applies to a lot of other bodily needs. No, I don’t know how I’ve survived this long.
axsyse,

To be fair, this one isn’t The Onion but rather another similar site. (Obviously your point still stands though)

axsyse,
