On Bandcamp you can go on your feed page which shows albums based on the genres and artists you follow, and what fans you follow have bought.
- Comment on Metal on the inside, business on the outside 5 days ago:
For me:
Power metal or speed metal to start the day or complete a task really quickly
Death metal or epic heavy metal to push myself through tasks
Black metal to go through the day on a sustainable pace
Death-doom when I’m going through a lot of very small, context-shifting tasks for a long time and it’s driving me crazy
Atmospheric black metal or dungeon synth to focus on a complex problem, and also when I’m on latter part of the day and really tired.
Death-thrash to wake myself up when I’m sleepy.

The app allows you to take several photos, label those parts (“leaves”, “flower”, etc.), and then you get several results, sorted by correspondence according to the neural network. When you click on a result, you get photos of different parts of the plant, allowing you to compare to your plant and judge if they’re the same.
- Comment on i enjoy high fructose corn syrup too 6 days ago:
There are fairly similar plants, so make sure to do your research. I get similar plants each year in my garden but I know they’re not purslane.
- Comment on i enjoy high fructose corn syrup too 6 days ago:
If you have a garden (I recommend far from the street to avoid pollution), some wild plants will grow in it. It’s good to know which ones you can eat and to be able to distinguish them from poisonnous ones. This way, weeding can become a sort of harvest.

I don’t know, that seems very similar to agnostic atheism to me. Is there any situation where you would act differently if you’d consider yourself agnodtic atheist instead of apathetic agnostic?
- Comment on Fear not, and enjoy this mere interlude to its fullest! 2 weeks ago:
Words like “atheism” or “agnostic” make sense as shorthands for everyday conversations or labelling, but if you want to be rigorous about it, it makes more sense to use 4 categories:
-
Gnostic theist: I know there’s a God, I’ve met Him, I feel it, I have faith, etc.
-
Agnostic theist: I don’t know if there’s a god or not, but I prefer to believe there’s one
-
Agnostic atheist: if we don’t know if there’s a god or not, there’s no reason to believe there’s one. Do you assume there’s an invisible giant teapot orbiting Earth because there’s no proof to the contrary?
-
Gnostic atheist: a god can’t possibly exist, the concept of a god is illogical, etc.
I’m agnostic atheist, but maybe there could a firm reasoning for the gnostic atheist position. I don’t know, I would have to read and think about it more.

I think pornography is an “art” the same way gastronomy is an “art”. Both serve a simple function: one to arouse you, the other to be enjoyable food to eat.
I think the more general definition of art is something that generates more complex emotions and thoughts.

Is there really a game that allows you to do all that??!!

Apart from Denmark. I know only one band from there.

Patriarchy is not only cruel towards women, it’s also dumb. It’s like corruption. We’re hurting ourselves, all of society, including men, by not giving the fitting positions and proper compensation and recognition to people who merit them.

There are even rules, like exogamy is common.
- Comment on Causes of Death in London (1623) 10 months ago:
I’m especially doubfounded as I thought that before there was an important police force and a mature legal system, murders were far more frequent than after.
At the same time, it’s possible I’m imagining 1632 London to be more primitive than it really was.

I went and saved the queen from that war that happened long ago. Then it appeared I had nothing left to do. I stopped there.

Pasteurization is even below what most would consider as cooking temperature. It’s getting your food really hot for a while but not boiling. It’s kind like edging but in cooking.
- Comment on Rip 1 year ago:
Can you even destroy minerals by heat? If there’s an element there it won’t go away. Though I guess the molecule could change and it could be less bioavailable.

There was a king of ancient times who would microdose poison in order to get immune. To his defense, he lived in ancient times.
- Comment on Anon has a special request 1 year ago:
When I read this, I was curious how possible it would be, if there’s sufficient offer in the market… I found this vendor page. So, there would probably be enough offer as there are taxidermists who need to clean big game skulls, which require thousands of larva and adults, and the vendor say you should email them if you need more than 10’000. I couldn’t learn how much time it would take, but they do say that more = faster, and to communicate with them to fit your project timeline.
