Look, I was a life long PlayStation kid from ps1 to the end of ps3. There is no reason in 2024 why anyone should be considering a PS or a Xbox or a Nintendo in a world where the steam deck exist. It blows traditional consoles right out of the water into the stratosphere.
Not at all, I am what I am and say what I think. I’m not afraid of my ideas being sifted and correlated with my IRL person. There’s nothing about me being revealed on Lemmy that my government hasn’t already known about for decades. I try not to doxx myself but that’s about it.
Just get the biggest computer monitor you can afford
I wonder how many people will see this and not know its a quote from Futurama
I will be disappointed if the tampon replacement mushroom strain isnt penis envy
Am I the only one kind of relieved when I loose digital files in a drive failure? Its kind of like a chance to start fresh. Yes I liked having pictures of my dead pets and relatives from 10 years ago but I wasn’t going to ever look at them again. I have my memories and that’s enough. Yes I liked having a copy of all the shows I ever enjoyed but I lost interest in half of them over the years and was likely never going to rewatch them locally or not.
There’s a time and a place for all things, digital files are no exception. When the time has passed long ago and the place no longer exist as it once did, its time to let go
I do my best to minimize micro plastics but also try not to worry about things I can’t control. That cat is already out of the bag, micro plastics are inescapable. The silver lining this study show that they aren’t that dangerous and its relatively easy for the body to get rid of them over the course of a month. While obviously its hard to say about long term toxicity it seems that life is at least generally resilient to it.
If I may add one personal anecdote. My parents were born in the 60s and 70s. They chain smoked cigarettes for many decades before their health finally caught up with them. Yet somehow they resisted the numerous toxins and carcinogens and tar they exposed themselves too every moment of the day. Maybe they are just really lucky but also maybe living things that got this far in the evolutionary tree already have expetience in biologically adapting to survive. Our cells aren’t such easy pushovers to die over any and every little changes in the environment or new chemical players introducing themselves in the game of life.
A favorite thing to do was stare at trees while tripping. They are an excellent visual study of a way natural objects arrange themselves fractally, some neat mathematics behind their geometry. One of my most profound experiences involved a telepathic communications between myself and a divine consciousness connected through my favorite tree in the backyard.
I think vr is cool but it would definitely be a novelty thing that would be played with for a while then put away and rarely touched again.
I wonder how many occulus rifts are collecting dust right now
Just a friendly reminder that mineclone2 exist.
Tire dust? Tires are generaly made from a kind of rubber, not plastic. A great majority of micro plastics that end up in enviroment and in your body are shed from plastic fabrics. If you’re really worried about limiting plastic consumption check your clothing tags for polyester and nylon. Return to cotton, hemp, and linen.
Traditionally you can throw kief on top of a bowl and cover it with a bit more green then light. That’s the obvious and straightforward thing to do with it.
You can go further beyond and process it into a form of hash. The current new age thing is heat pressed rosin hash since it can be dabbed, however presses are pricey upfront if you’re lucky a local dispensary or cbd store will let you rent one out for the hour.
The old heads traditionally put boiling water in a wine bottle and roll the hot bottle across the kief folded in parchment paper.
Another option is getting yourself some cheap bubble bags off amazon and learning how to make bubble hash. Usually bubble hash makes more sense when you have a LOT of material to work with but just putting the kief through a 10 minute shake bath in ice water filled mason jar and straining will provide you an excellent sample of bubble hash.
Finally, you may try to use solvents to distill it into an oil based tincture to ingest orally. This is typically done by soaking the flower or kief in pure alcohol until all the oils have been extracted, then boiling off the alcohol (dangerous and requires extreme caution) or decarbing the material beforehand and letting the alcohol solvent air dry in a shallow wide dish.
I loved adult swim flash games in the 2000s would have definitely cared about this a lot more if flash wasn’t already dead and they weren’t preserved on internet archive and flashpoint
The idea that simple rules lead to incredibly complex behavior is not new and wolfram was not the first mathematician to realize it even if he wants to pretend he is.
I’m big into fractal geometry so I would say Mandelbrot was the first 20th century mathematician to really get that concept along side the founding chaos theorist but even their realizations about the fractal nature of the universe ride off shoulders of others work.
I guess for computational mathematicians, the fractal nature of the universe and the simple rules making complex systems is new and mind blowing, for me and everyone whos read through deep simplicity its old ideas recycled into a new branch of mathematics reworded in terms a computer scientist thinks in.
Its not that the ideas aren’t important or mind blowing, they just aren’t new and the academic community has had decades to digest them.
And before the academic community came along many eastern religions came to similar concluions about the nature of the universe a couple thousand years earlier thanks to some good old fashioned shrooms and pot, so these general ideas have also been floating around forever and academics weren’t even the first to suggest them only the first to kind of prove them right with logic and experimental evidence.
Gödel: “Using logic ive shown that there will always be true statements can not be proven/falsifiable within any formal system of logic”
Mathematicians:
Have you taken a look at c/politicalmemes ?If a humorless poorly constructed wall of doomerism text lamenting the flaws of modern capitalist society counts as a meme, just about anything does these days
Dont you get it? Every year is the year of linux.
If possible get a laptop with a thunderbolt 3 port and a compatable external gpu
