  First, when you hyperventilate you expel CO2 from your system. Desolved CO2 in blood causes it to be slightly acidic so when you rid yourself of it, it leaves your blood more alkaline. Oxygen uptake into the cells is highly pH dependent and its efficiency degrades with higher pH such as when breathing fast. Second, when on your knees, or squating, your blood circulation adepts to the blood pressure increase. Once you stand up it takes a while for your system to catch on leaving you with a brief moment of low blood pressure. People with POTS (Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) are very aware of these frequent moments of light-headedness. Third, compressing air into your chest cavity (breathing out but obstructing the air) is called the valsalva manoeuvre and overall decreases blood pressure further while decreasing pulse rate. Combining the rapid breathing in a sitting position followed by standing up and the valsalva manoeuvre will cause temporary oxygen deficiency in the brain causing you to pass out. For obvious reason this isn’t advisable to do but if you must, then do it with someone present who can monitor you to make sure you fall safely on a soft surface and make sure you lay flat to aid blood circulation and call emergency services if you’re not coming to after a few seconds and can administer CPR just in case.

  Paper rivets, maybe?

  I know you’re joking but urine should not contain any protein in a healthy body.

  Oh and an enlarged heart is a serious health risk, perhaps explaining her grievance in relation to possible erectile disfunction. I like reading too much into things.

  Is this not how it looks if you list receipients in the BCC field?

  End game not so much, rather a tendency where the world around him reflects his inflated ego by leaving some sort of legacy bearing his name: a nobel price or resolving a major conflict or annexing some other nation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What did I forget?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes! And weirder that bicolour banded flags are not consistently on top. I suspect some float errors. I just know that using the typical Shannon style does even worse. I might add some filter that calculates a differential or something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What did I forget?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That really depends on the algorithm used. Ideally it takes colous and spacial information into account. I’ll keep you posted on the ranking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What did I forget?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I tried different definitions and settled on spectral entropy. This one uses fourier transform and (I think) this takes the spacial relation of the pixels into account, as opposed to the more common Shannon definition. I’d like to share it but am not sure on how to do that: were I to use GitHub I would doxx myself.

  Their previous version was indeed without the coat of arms. Much cooler I think. During that time the Liechtenstein flag was identical, but they (Liechtenstein) changed it upon discovery.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What did I forget?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Simplicity I suppose. Colour combination. In my opinion if i can draw it from memory it’s a good flag.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What did I forget?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I owe it to the community. Since I don’t have it anymore I am coding it up again. Allow me some time - it’s weekend and I have family to look after.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What did I forget?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I see a flag. I like flags. Especially the Japanese flags. I don’t specifically care for Japan, but the flag is one of my favourites. I prefer flags with low entropy: so I wrote a script once that ranks the nations flags by entropy so I could quantify my preference. Thanks for letting me infodump a bit.

  Love bombing is an idea that can be associated with cluster B personality pathology: as part of the idealisation / devaluation cycle or manipulation with borderline pd or narcissism pd. The people you’re describing here are teens so I wouldn’t look too much into it.

  I find this monologue amazing as it reveals so much about someone with narcissistic personality only that the character has more self awareness than the typical narcissist.
