  I just want to add regarding the “common people, everyday life” stuff: the common people in the rest of the world just use metric in everyday life (with the precision that is useful for the context, body height is normally communicated in 10cm steps - 160, 170, 180 and so on), and it has the additional benefit that the rest of the world still knows what the fuck we are talking about.

  yes, but ublock gets its blocklists from an external address, which cannot be done with manifest v3. and updating the extension is something that can take weeks until approved, while google could just outmaneuver ublock.

  for the longest time, i did know that game theory did not have anything to do with “games” and that it is somehow connected to the prisoners dilemma, but the concept as such wasn’t very clear to me. If you are like my former me, take 30 minutes out of your day and visit ncase.me/trust/ to learn and play around with game theory; it’s a great webpage and it’s pretty good fun all around.

  Grim Dawn (currently playing Community Season 7! check it out @ grimdawnleague.com, Dead Cells and Terraria (and most of that time unmodded - i just love building cozy or not so cozy homes).

  i find it interesting that the black straps that are pretty hard to see in the original are easier to discern in this jpegified version. Compression algorithms were created by some very smart people.

  a knife once got stuck in out kitchen drawer.

  after an hour of trying to get that drawer open with an arsenal of tools we surrendered and smashed a hole in the drawer from below.

  The new ceramic knifes which caused the incident were collateral damage.

  It’s a shame; i’m sure there are vegans feeding their cats this way, and when those animals lose muscle mass quickly, the first thing that gets really damaged by that are their kidneys - and this does normally only get noticed shortly before the cat is going to die.

  And it’s an ugly death.

  I’ve had a young cat which had nearly dead kidneys when we got her, and it’s pure torture for them - we tried everything we could, but there’s not much to be done after they show symptoms.

  Those “studies” you are throwing around with the owner-reported feedback regarding the health of their cats which can only be objectively be seen by bloodwork and a kidney ultrasound have actual negative worth.

  In the UK the NHS is advocating for vaping as a way to stop smoking, and it works. Also, i don’t know where you get your information about VG and PG (especially regarding their toxicity), but i am more than sure that your information is outdated/obsolete by now.

  A large part of your cells walls are made out of vegetable glycerin. The LD50 for rats is about 12g/kg body weight (mice 8g/kg) when ingested (so about 1kg for a 100kg human), and the seen adverse effects when inhaling were minimal and only visible in hourlong exposures at the highest tested concentration.

  Propylene Glycol has an even higher LD50 in rodents (20 GRAMS/kg b.w.) and is in use in every theatre in the world for fog and smoke effects (in HUGE volumes in contrast to vaping - i vape a lot and am somwhere between 5-10ml VG/PG 1:1 per day) for ages now, and there would have been found a correlation between stage workers and lung cancer by now. It’s widely used in the agricultural sector as a feed additive in pretty large quantities too.

  you get acrolein when the e-cigarette overheats. modern devices should not even really do this anymore. The heavy metals are a hypothesis i heard in the beginning and for which i haven’t seen any source in the last 5 years. At least if you aren’t overheating your NI80 coils on purpose to a dull red glow. all my homies use SS316 for smooth automatic temperature control :-)

  I’m with you regarding the aroma additives (which i assume you meant as source for aldehydes); not many of those have been tested regarding inhalation (except for aromatherapy probably), and they might prove to be detrimental. i also believe that if i had kept my pack or two a day hobby for much longer, it would have had a real chance of killing me. i am also advocating that this stuff should be 18+ - by that age the whole “peer pressure” thing that led to me starting smoking with 14 should be mostly over.

  in the end, the most important part is: i choose to use e-cigarettes since it’s harm reduction in comparison to smoking (and nothing else worked for me), and i know that it would be healthier not to do it. cats don’t have much choice regarding their food, especially when combined with an religiously motivated owner.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Maybe this is better for everyone⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I just wanted to add: the reason why most carnivores go for the digestive tract first when eating their prey is that they eat the predigested plant matter with the entrails, making those nutrients much more readily available to them.

  It’s a shame; i’m sure there are vegans feeding their cats this way, and when those animals lose muscle mass quickly, the first thing that gets really damaged by that are their kidneys - and this does normally only get noticed shortly before the cat is going to die. And it’s an ugly death. I’ve had a young cat which had nearly dead kidneys when we got her, and it’s pure torture for them - we tried everything we could, but there’s not much to be done after they show symptoms. That one “study” that other poster is throwing around with the owner-reported feedback regarding the health of their cats has actual negative worth.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can anyone suggest some good co-op games for two people?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  i’ll just add a few i haven’t seen yet:

  • Chained Together - running gauntlets while … chained together
  • Children of Morta - adorable graphics meet solid gameplay and vivid storytelling
  • Core Keeper - top-down Terraria with great pixel art, full release in a week!
  • Cosmoteer: Build your 2d-Spaceship and do what you want! Full workshop support with tons of available mods.
  • (hmm so much stuff starting with c, gotta change my game)
  • Element TD 2 - classic tower defense experience
  • Heavenly Bodies - Adventure game with physics!
  • Kingdom: Two Crowns - the right thing for chilling :-)
  • Necesse: even more Terraria, but with a huge world and settlements to build and manage. Still in EA, and needs polish, but great game even now!
  • Neon Chrome: Cyberpunk twin-stick shooter
  • Operation Tango: Asymmetric Coop, one is a hacker, the other is the agent on the ground
  • Streets of Rogue: “immersive sim”-top down twin stick action roguelite - i cant even describe it well, but it is heaps of fun and chaos can pop up around every corner!
  • Synthetic: twin-stick shooter with tons of guns and a hefty difficulty later on
  • Grim Dawn: ARPG, and one of the best in its class. Dated, but still updated (and gets a new expansion soon-ish!). community is running seasons which add new areas, items and whatnot! i’ve sunk 1500 hours into that one, so i am probably biased when i say give it a whirl.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon has a question⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That depends on the dish - a Wiener Schnitzel for example should be able to move freely in the oil (because it should be kept moving), or the breading will be pretty underwhelming. Same goes for most stuff with breading. I always try to be very conservative in my cooking oil usage, but in those cases it’s just not an option.

  I use the Signal “Note to self” contact for smaller files, or SMB if i have to transfer large amounts - no usb-sticks needed.

  for other people i normally upload either to send.vis.ee if it’s a one time thing, to catbox.moe if i suspect that i have to share it more often over time or litterbox.catbox.moe for 3 day availability.
