Putting it back in place is kinda difficult, iirc. It’s a scary “oh, shit. Put it back, put it back” moment. It’s a lesson in not playing around wuth the door (ah, yeah, mine was a big balcony door window (small balcony, big door))

- Comment on What do you think the PPE is for 5 days ago:
Yeah, I did notice Hydrogen where Helium ought to be. Other than that, though, the rest seems okay far as I know of the periodic table (meaning anything till about Uranium, in order)
- Comment on What do you think the PPE is for 5 days ago:
I can’t tell the numbers, but La and Ac being in the main table threw me off, had me suspecting everything was wrong

Well, maybe not eternity, but that sure is a whołe lot of time for someone who’ll be around for probably less than 100 years (not sure why 100 is the number I think of when I think of an age limit to life. Is this a common occurrance, folks? Or just me? I mean, I do know some people go past it, but still…)
- Comment on Fear not, and enjoy this mere interlude to its fullest! 1 week ago:
That’s precisely the scary part. A nothingness, for all of eternity. It ends, never to continue. I do not know what it is like. Just… not seeing. Not hearing. None of the senses, and no thoughts either. No consciousness.
I wouldn’t be scared after dead, cuz I’dn’t have the consciousness for that. However, being alive, I can. I can fear the eternal nothingness of inexistence
I think this may or may not have some connection to a post from that monkey in the brain guy who also has a TED Talk (Tim Something?). I recall seeing a post of his about life or something. Talked about how short our lives are in the grand scheme of things. Had even an image with days or weeks or months of life, like a progress bar
On the other hand, reading that people actually close to death don’t worry as much as people imagining being close to death, iirc, may have had a positive impact in my fear. Though I recalln’t well

Idk, sounds kinda scary. Idk what it was like before, because I lacked consciousness to experience it. And the idea that it all ends, back to nothingness forever. We live a few years. Pretty much nothing, if we consider the forever before, and the forever after our existence.
It’s something I recall fearing as a kid, due to the scary unknown. Glad to have enjoyed a decade of bliss. Too bad the fear has come back to haunt me. It’s not constant, though. Sometimes it comes, outta nowhere. Real strong. Not fun. But I don’t live day to day in fear.

Claridryl may not be right for everyone. Consult your doctor if symptoms persist. Some patients experience side effects, including dry mouth, dizziness, double vision, reflexive memory, aggression, and fatigue. Do not use if you suffer from high blood pressue or neurological dysfunction. Call your doctor if you experience an inability to concentrate, stiff muscles, sores, or trouble walking. Do not take Claridryl before bed or immediately upon waking up. Insomnia has been reported with Claridryl and drugs like it. In some cases, the insomnia can become permanent and lead to stroke or death. Other risks include headaches, seizures, trouble swallowing, impared motor skills, extreme paranoia, loss of time, muscle twitches and spasms…

Obviously women have long hair, and that can get in the way, making it harder to see. You don’t want hair in your face when you got to fit that piece through the side precisely, making a last second rotation to fit lest you end up with a hole on your stack
- Comment on Why can't countries with vast deserts make solar farms to power the world? 2 weeks ago:
Holy based, Batman. It seems we’ve missed an opportunity to patent the idea. If only I had come up with it before 2005. Though I was but a wee feller
- Comment on Why can't countries with vast deserts make solar farms to power the world? 2 weeks ago:
Slightly unrelated, but I used to imagine houses whose rooves were made of solar panels. I eventually thought of battery walls to store the extra power for when no sun, but that’s a tad silly, innit? Can’t build a house of battery walls. Prolly can’t make it solar panel roofed either, other than perhaps covering the entire non-panel roof with panels. I wonder if such would work, and how expensive it’d be. In fact, I wonder how expensive solar panels are, and how difficult to work with they are.
I also had this idea for a phone case whose back was a solar panel. Leave your phone facing down, and get some sun charge (if sun). The case could have a plug near or instead of the hole for the charger. Not sure if such would work either.
I’d also enjoy having just a, idk, an extension, with many a sockets, just connected to a solar panel outside the window or something. Me computer just powered by the sun. Maybe roller shades made out of solar panels? Too sunny? Close the shades, get some charge. Again, not sure this would work. But it would be cool.
If anyone understands enough and has the knowledge needed, please rate my ideas and let me know why these obviously wouldn’t work (surely, such great ideas have probably been already thought of and discarded. No way I could have a good, original idea)

- Comment on Anon doesn't understand streamer fans 2 weeks ago:
I used to somewhat regularly watch streams before going to sleep. I’d just have the computer set to shutdown at a given time and just be in bed, watching, listening. Even crafted me own script, to activate the shutdown popup and slowly lower the volume. Better than the computer suddenly shutting down, and allowed me to easily cancel shutdown if I wanted. Once the computer turned off, put my stuff to the side and go to sleep (not sure how often I’d end up on my phone instead)
That being said, I don’t have a Twitch account, never interacted. Just sometimes watched, when certain people were on, at the end of the day. Not like I was the whole day in chat or something. And lately I’ve lost the habit. Back then, I lived alone, and with a job,.had a regular routine. Plus, the computer was right ahead of my bed. Now? No more. I usually end up on my phone instead (and when that happens, it usually is not limit in time… it don’t shutdown.)

Does it work the other way around? Does “pissing and shitting all over the place” “stop people from” “sitting down to use the bathroom”?

Really? I’d expected cleaner. I mean, they sit. I don’t know how women pee, honestly. Like, how the flow goes. But I can say from experience peeing into a toilet while standing up can be difficult. Pee, y u no single stream straight into toilet?
