  I just remembered that shaggy mane, another dung loving species, tends to grow on leech fields or wherever septic tanks live. So I think they will just grow anywhere there’s poop, no need to be eaten.

  I believe Psilocybin cubensis evolved with this in mind, where the spores get on grass, then they do their funky thing in the cow guts. Cow poops them out and the mushrooms come out of the cow pies.

  Is liquid cooling even worth it these days? I’ve always used air cooling and just vacuumed my pc every once and a while.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where is modern Punk?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s quite a few good ones in the “Breakcore” genre like “machine girl” and “femtanyl”. I’m not sure they would consider themselves punk, but I have a pretty liberal definition of punk.

  I also came across “blednost.” A little while ago, they’re pretty small. I just click on music that YouTube recommends a lot and find lots of small artists

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where is modern Punk?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I listen to lots of punk music, especially in the electronic space. But I think people want to see another hardcore movement.

  Really I see most people who actually try to make their own art as punk. The techno-fascists just want you to be complacent and consume content.

  Idk, humans have lots of different smells and some are more tolerable than others. Like if you don’t sweat much (not me unfortunately) you can definitely go a day without showering. The worst human smell might be a rotting tooth though, that’s really difficult to be around.

  I… I would not be brave enough to drive around in a “truck” like that. Like mad props for never out growing your edge lord phase.

  Is that just the normal ones you find at the grocery store, or have you tried other types? I think oyster mushrooms are really good when you fry them until they are crispy. Lion’s mane is really good too, I like to make vegan pulled pork with them. The flavor of some foraged ones are also amazing like chantarell and black trumpets. Chicken of the woods also tastes and kinda feels like lemony dry chicken. There’s soooo many great mushrooms

  Excuse me, but do you have a moment to talk about ZFS and tall socks? Maybe the benefits of a tiling window manager?

  Trying to stay young forever over here. It’s working pretty well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨hows keto working out for you⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mention it because I really don’t feel like an outlier. Sure it took me a couple years to get where I am, but I’ve also had a lot of setbacks from when I started as well. Obviously someone 250-300lbs is going to have a hard time since exercise is murder on their joints. but most folks aren’t morbidly obese. If you enjoy it, getting up to 5 days a week of cardio won’t take that long (3-5 months?) then you can really get into the fun long workouts. But I think the problem is that most folks don’t have something they enjoy. If exercise wasn’t playing I’m not sure I would do it, but because it is I want to do it. If anything my enjoyment and not having debilitating injuries is what makes me an outlier.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨hows keto working out for you⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Eating in a deficit? Yes, counting calories? No. There’s times I lose weight just because of activity load. Hell I did a 3 hour bike ride on Sunday that burned around 2000 calories. When ski touring season hits I’ll probably lose a bunch of weight. I get that most folks can’t do activities like that, but there’s a lot more to fitness than just your body fat. If I loose weight due to exercise it’s usually 10 lbs but over the summer I went from 180 to 165 without thinking once about my calorie intake.

  Not an expert, but I believe he is part of the reason the Vietnam war continued. Lots of people died because the US has to win. I think he also okayed the indiscriminate bombing they did. Also he’s a slimy politician.

  I only access it over a local network or wire guard. It’s not perfect security, but also I’m willing to accept that risk.

  If I’m remembering correctly vision is movement based, but animals have lots of ways to deal with it. Humans and other species that can move their eyeballs just like vibrate their eyes. But birds like chickens rely more on head bob I think. Couldn’t tell you what kind of muscles a tyranasaur has in its eyes.

  Also being wrong on the Internet is the best way to find the right answer. So tell me how I’m wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can't argue that.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What do you mean stop damaging it? What makes it sound like I’m not working with my brain? What makes it sound like I’m not exercising my brain?

  No I’m not going to stop doing sports. I’m doing a lot to work with my brain, and I’m always learning something new.

  I’m learning sumi-e painting to go with my calligraphy, I’m taking the time to get back into programming. This is my second year mountain biking and I’ve gotten pretty good at it over the summer. I journal every day and reflect, I’ve been making a lot of progress being less critical of myself. In doing all those things I’ve felt my social skills slip, so now I’m putting in the effort to be around people more and be vulnerable around them.

  And yet I can feel places where my brain isn’t as strong as it used to be. I’m accepting of that and trying to love myself in spite of my shortcomings. I don’t need to optimize for everything, I can just focus on what’s important to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can't argue that.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My friend is going through concussion rehabilitation right now and is working with one of the best doctors in the field. She has not been prescribed any medication at all. It’s been 9 months maybe? Right now she’s onto the stage where she need to get her heart rate up with exercise. Though it took a long time for doctors to actually start taking her symptoms seriously and she bounced around between a lot of them before she got where she is now.

  We’ve had lots of talks about the recovery process, how you can train your brain to get better at certain things. And I’ve been doing lots of stuff to train my brain. But still friends will bring up symptoms they have and I’ll be like, oh shit I didn’t know that was concussion related!

  But I think some of my symptoms are just going to be there for life. Language processing, memory (some memory has improved with training but sometimes I just get stuck and can’t think of a word or name or whatever), visual artifacts, sound sensitivity, and I don’t know if it’s related but I definitely get depressed.

  I think with training you can improve your life experience, but I’m not sure you’ll ever get back to what it would be like without a concussion. Also I’m sure the 4-7 years of binge drinking didn’t help either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can't argue that.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Currently 29. Noticed mental decline after concussions in my youth and a few years of heavy drinking. I don’t fall on my head as much and I don’t really drink anymore, but I’m not sure how much of what I’ve lost I’m going to get back.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨All while the skeletal, crumbling, dusty bones of an econ major pulls business backwards into hell.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think we have different definitions of what passing knowledge, and familiarity. I think what OP is saying is that folks should leave college knowing how to think and reason mathmatically, philosophically, and scientifically. Everyone knows you don’t actually learn anything in undergrad, but you should at least know how to problem solve in your field. OP is just saying that maybe that problem solving should cast a wider net, I think.

  Why should they? Everything is multidisciplinary. Even a pure mathematician needs to know how to communicate their ideas within their field.

  Ah I get it now, yup that is shitty. I have some compassion for someone who was stupid enough as a kid to enlist. But only for active members? Love how in America we all get fucked over, unless you win the wealth lottery.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shamelessly stolen from Reddit⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe I’m weird, but I guess I don’t care about military discounts. I probably just don’t have much experience with veterans. But like we give senior citizens discounts some places, because it’s expected they don’t have much money. And there’s lots of old folks who need it. Haven’t military folks traditionally had a hard time reintegrating? Like isn’t that the plot of “the forever war”? If it helps the ones who need it then good. Helping people in need is a good thing. I’m probably missing something so let me know what it is.

  I work in a very rural area, sometimes you have to slow clients down and tell them to appreciate the natural beauty around them(clouds, mountains, trees, rainbows/sundogs, etc.). I’m going to blame this on phones more than urbanization though

  One of my good runner friends (3000+ miles a year and owns 100+ pairs of shoes) is the biggest sketchers fans I know of. Apparently their good running shoes aren’t even cheap anymore, like $110+.

  I imagine these kids aren’t wearing super shoes anyway, or else they would know the puma’s are faster

  And do you get good muscle recovery from this diet? I do a lot of running and cycling, eating (high carb) during my activities has really helped faster recovery and helped control cravings later.
