My aesthetic.

Also, the title makes me think of the Catalyst Comet from Adventure Time. "Hey, how 'bout I get a new mode*?" "Prepare to discorporate."

(though personally I don't believe in stuff like that so my hope would be to get my brain uninstalled and reinstalled into a new form with symbiotic systems. If anything.)

What about, oh I don't know... a mirror? One of the things that most ebikes don't include (also a courtesy bell, loud horn is a different purpose).

Then again, I haven't ridden my bike in a while (local trail closure) and even after getting a mirror riding near a road doesn't appeal to me (especially when in my area the alternative to being on the road is usually a ditch).

Personally I keep it at 160-175C (320-347F) because I don't want to be even close to combustion.

Are you running the fan during pre-heat? (I run it on lowest)
After that, I also let the material pre-heat (no fan, capped) as well for at least 5mins. (Also some stuff like inital pulls of air at start of pre-heat and stirring after pre-heat, but I have no idea if that does much)

From what I've heard (and seen a few times), heating to a higher temp and then stepping it down might give you more clouds. But I assume that is either just an effect similar to condensation and/or maybe slightly more extraction due to better heat soak.

For reference I just have an EQ with nothing special, and my material was free (not the best/freshest, though I assume that's more about weak flavor or quick-to-turn-harsh more than it is potency itself) and also I just rip a bit by hand instead of pre-grind (I keep the AVB, doesn't taste bad IMO because lower temp).

I am once again saying: Why not hydroxyapitite? A form of calcium, same as our teeth/bones. It even has water management uses because it adsorbs other stuff like fluoride and lead, which actually makes finding info about its addition to water for the purpose of teeth health difficult.

Though it seems like hydroxyapatite water would also make fluoride toothpaste even more effective.

The mineral ions introduced during remineralisation restore the structure of the hydroxyapatite crystals. If fluoride ions are present during the remineralisation, through water fluoridation or the use of fluoride-containing toothpaste, the stronger and more acid-resistant fluorapatite crystals are formed instead of the hydroxyapatite crystals.

I’ve heard fluoride builds up in your bones so it’s one of those negative health effects that’s hard to study

I mentioned it in a top-level comment, but there is hydroxyapatite that would likely be a better water additive (and increases effectiveness of fluoride toothpaste) and would probably also be good for bone health rather than a potential long-term risk.

Couldn't hard water be described an issue of natural minerals being "not water soluble"? It's still going to be floating in the water, and I assume that hard water is a problem of excess and thus could be managed better. Maybe even the nano form, assuming that passes the safety checks (and guidelines for safe/effective concentrations can be established).

I am all of the issues to some degree and AI outputs to me* just seem like dairy-free maple-coconut water cheese. So personally I'll just stick with nothing (substantial) until the format/workflow that I'm looking for (hopefully) becomes viable for me.

Luckily writing a book or painting hyper-realism are not the only type of creativity.

(also funnily enough, AI currently is just a different set of skills/knowledge especially for the better results or wrangling custom inputs/training/adjustments etc)

*= Particularly what I can run locally, w/a 1050Ti. But also just really most examples of AI (aside from maybe the stuff that is either extremely overproduced/hand-picked or potentially faked)

pinky ball vape
Still want to get a desktop vape down the road though

Why, don't you just have the better version already? The only thing I can think of would be wanting a smaller setup, and it seems like you could do that already (perhaps with some ingenuity even using the spare glass from someone else's desktop unit for a balloonbag/whip etc especially if the temperature is not set too high).

EDIT: Ok, I'm guessing the lack of a fan is a difference. And seeing people mention a ball vape being an issue due to potential burn risk (for social gatherings at least).

You want to get eaten as a sex thing.
I want to be euthanized by a woman in the woods, and I like the idea of her pet bear getting my brain as a treat.

We are not the same.

OC Yeah I stole the idea from a spam thumbnail, low-poly 3D vertex colors only

Made with Blender. If you want to see more (or read details I've written about before) I have other threads but note that most instances I've seen seem to only get one thread or the other (so you may need to look at my threads on Kbin). There's another image (an office plant) in the comments of one too. Nothing really...

A lowpoly scene of a purple hand appearing just beyond a pure-white-image on a computer monitor, its hollow palm offers you a plastic black pill bottle with a blank label (both ends of the label are facing the camera). The drugs are probably yummy. This design/idea was stolen from a spam thumbnail.

You can't see me, you can't see me. Neither can he. No-one can see me.

I prefer to buy video games without knowing anything about them

When I hear about a new game, I usually read the first sentence or two on Wikipedia. I rule out games described as certain genres or types, like soulslike or online-only multiplayer games. Then, I check reviews on a site like Metacritic. If the critic or user reviews (doesn’t need to be both) are good enough, I add it to a...

I am pretty much the opposite. I have been burned in the past... things like difficulty (esp. co-op games not really adapted at all for single-player), inventory/loot, hunger etc being annoying. Or sometimes games start out fine and then just eventually lose me.

In fact for some games without much replay value I'll just watch a let's play of it and get 90% (or perhaps better because it's not me dealing with nonsense) of the experience.

Then again, I also just have mostly stopped buying games. And the last thing I bought off Steam (in 2020) was one of those things I wanted for a while and it ended up being a disappointment for me.

insomniac_lemon,

Some of it is probably just me sucking at games or not being focused enough. Even though often times I already feel like I'm taking things slowly enough as-is (and trying to exhaust my options).

Though I also think some of it is how razor-thin margin-of-error can often feel, unforgiving (or as I've said, annoying) mechanics, the downsides of randomized/generated content, and also just a big lack of player agency or more specifically good options (like how most games just decide the single-use items you buy are gonna be expensive and selling stuff is barely worth it aside from making room in your inventory).

If a roguelike(/lite) game really kicks my ass almost every time and then I have one really good run where I win (likely due to luck), I probably am not going to want to play that game for a while (if ever) again.

Nah, I want the woman to dissect me and feed my brain to the bear. It's called sharing 🥰

The only way you could get customers is if you could use magic to collect the money and details of the spell, especially for cases in which the customer is also the target. There's no way I'm gonna believe you have 35 years of experience and still gotta use mail or the internet to do your business. Either that or you're just weak-as-hell, possibly doing something that is obviously not-a-spell.

Even then I see a lot of problems, and at least 3 of them are cost. I could maybe see a step down (more of a slowfall type thing negating body weight and using jumping) but even then I don't see that working well where all the land is owned (also: wires, momentum), and electric paragliding might be the more realistic today option (that probably isn't all that practical either).

Sticking to the ground just makes more sense, heck for the brief moment when I had my legs not-fully-out-of-shape from riding my geared 250w ebike regularly (and after recovering from a 22 mile trip) I was wondering if a motor is even (fully) needed (assuming I could get a tri-fold knockoff or used minivelo for cheap for less weight... and possibly slightly smaller though my ebike is already 20" wheels thus a similar size category). And note I do have health issues (I still might want an ebike on a hot and sunny day, assuming a lighter bike is not a massive difference)

Probably because it is, and then add in federation issues (at least that's been my experience with Kbin). That and if I post about something niche people may have no reason to actually respond.

Long enough to accept it. Lots of reasons that ultimately add up to being an inadequate person, but also no transportation/income in a semi-rural area (also health/personality issues) so I'm a shut-in and thus don't ever meet people. That said, even in school/college it's not like I ever really made strong connections with people, romantic or otherwise. Non-religious in USA (esp. given rural) certainly doesn't (and more so didn't) help with a dating pool either.

And even if none of those were issues, I'm just not that interesting. I suspect the people who might like to be around me are probably also in their house more-often-than-not, and not within any distance/likelihood of meeting.

The Canadian State Is Euthanizing Its Poor and Disabled (jacobin.com)

In 2022, Global News said the quiet part out loud: poverty is driving disabled Canadians to consider MAiD. Those “some” who are driven to assisted death because of poverty or an inability to access adequate care deserve to live with dignity and with the resources they need to live as they wish. They should never, ever feel...

IMO I don't ever see them allowing you to stop being a consumer especially not in such a way that makes them look bad. Best can be done is a cop shooting you when you have a mental health crisis. I also could see it being a genuine population crisis if it weren't even more strict/bureaucracy-hell than MAiD.

Then of course, there will always be more people pushing back against programs like this than there ever will be for actually improving living conditions. People just don't want to see or hear any reference to death, continued suffering is a lot more indirect and nebulous and thus ignorable.

Every single time I check out one of those upcoming shiny new programming languages that claim to be simple:

insomniac_lemon, (edited )
insomniac_lemon avatar

@sos

As a not-really-programmer, Nim is the best that I've seen with easy syntax that still offers performance and flexibility (so I can agree on the other languages not being simple in this same way). Simple in the higher-level stuff it gives you, allowing multiple/easier ways do things. I know this is a different type of simple than you probably mean, which is the language itself being smaller (less concepts to know and less to go wrong, but more manual work). But with Nim you don't need to know everything to work at a script-like level (and nimscript is even a subset of the language) and memory management can be tweaked or disabled if you know what you're doing.

Though Nim is somewhat niche (lacking community), I can see why some things like whitespace and other choices may be polarizing (though I like them), and I don't disagree with the point that @eniko made (that also caused a big contributor to quit, the creator of Nim's package manager, so that made the bus factor worse).

Sidenote, I didn't fully implement it but here is some of my Nim code for loading a polygon from a text file (format example) (readability note: instead of something like float32(i) I could've done i.float32). Though this is via for Raylib bindings, I know that using libraries like this probably makes language differences a bit more trivial, and maybe there are people who can write more-readable C this way.

Huh, I'm using technology as an escape from woodworking. Lack of space/tools and a few times when I tried to do something the wood was too seasoned (last thing I tried was whittling hoping to do it in my room anytime and not have dust as an issue, cheap folding knife probably didn't help)

Well not fully true on the escape part, I just drop things really easy when I run into issues like that. Well that and I haven't done anything noteworthy with technology or woodworking.

If you're a woman of the woods who will feed my brain to a bear, that'd put me at 80% on-board. As always, travel would be the issue.

Though if I was awake for the eating part, I'd definitely make the joke "Is this a Tally Hall reference?" even though I made it now.

Or we’d have it when they had all the branches

You mean the supermajority that was 72 working days?

I mean sure the party isn't so progressive. But "why didn't they fix X?" is a bit stale. Either way, FPtP sucks.

EDIT: just a trifecta is marred by senators like Manchin and Sinema, and things like filibusters may still be an issue (also something like universal healthcare would likely not be as simple as passing 1 bill with a simple majority)

You can teach a man to fish.
Bears already know how to fish. So aren't they just innocent men? alt.

And I don't think anyone could teach a fish to bear what's going on in the world.
