The medical exemption also gives access to the older gen dispensaries, which can have better prices/options.

- Comment on Anon experiences a glitch 8 hours ago:
I remember some times when I’d be up for a long time, eventually it felt like the part of my brain that controlled awareness of another person’s presence would glitch out. Like if I was alone in my room playing video games, I’d get a sense that it was time to pass the controller when I died, or to comment on something for the other person that wasn’t really there.
But I was alone in my room, which made it pretty easy to recognize what was going on as a form of hallucination (I’d also see dark spots moving around in my peripheral, which I suspect some less self-aware people might think are bugs moving around at the edge of their vision). If I was out walking, where it was harder to logically be sure that you’re alone when your senses lie to you, I could see it developing into a strong paranoia. Would suck for that to be a normal feeling rather than something that happens after staying up way too long.

Could have to do with efficiency at various motor speeds. With IC engines, they don’t take constant fuel input and don’t produce constant power or force over the rates at which they support spinning.
I understand electric motors have full access to their peak torque at any speed but I am not sure if that also means equal efficiency for the full rpm curve, so that could be a part of it.
Also I wonder about wheel efficiency and how that curve would look. Like if your tires are a bit under pressure, I could see more deformation being possible at lower speeds, which could mean the tires themselves become stiffer and more efficient as they spin faster.
And finally, 10 and 20 mph are both pretty low speeds as far as air resistance is concerned. Air resistance is more significant in how it scales. I forget the exact formula but I do remember that air resistance has a term with a higher exponent than the formula for work done (which boils down to distance travelled), which absolutely means that the force required to overcome air resistance increases much faster than the formula for the result of applying that force, but exponents can take a while go really get going.
Oh actually one more thing, when running a device like that, there will be some portion of energy it requires for just being on and another required for gaining and maintaining speed. It could be that the constant power requirements are significant compared to the amount of power required to get to and hold either 10 or 20 mph. Could even be a short or malfunction of some sort. If that’s the case, then the fact that your 20 mph trip only took about half the time could have saved more power than the extra needed to move twice as fast.
So my guess is the amount of extra air resistance going from 10 to 20 mph was less than some set of benefits you gained from that same speed increase, of which I listed the ones I could think of above.

Btw, after looking for it on steam, which is often my first move for “find video game”, just want to add a message to just go to nethack.org where you can get it for free. There are versions on steam but they are “someone grabbed a version of the free game and is trying to make money from a steam version”.
Also, the network hacking game I was thinking about is called hacknet lol.
- Comment on Anon plays an RPG 4 days ago:
Nethack is one that has been on my periphery for a while, though I never looked too closely at it (and assumed it was a game about hacking networks lol). I’ll have to put some attention directly at it.
Though I’m still on the fence about this kind of RPG tbh. Like a high level of detail in an RPG can be fun or tedious. Like these seem like games that I should be taking notes for and I’m not sure I want to give it that level of attention. That is despite seeing “How to Survive the Game as a Barbarian” and wanting a game like that lol.

Sounds like it’s taking Delicious in Dungeon to a whole other level lol. But yes, that does sound appealing.
- Comment on Anon plays an RPG 4 days ago:
Shattered pixel dungeon has an interesting approach: everything is unidentified, including potions. If you want to identify them, there are scrolls of identification (once you figure out which ones they are, though I believe most classes auto id them) but most of the time it’s experimentation. Drink it and see what happens. Took me a bunch of runs to even realise that was something I should do (because you don’t need to identify potions for them to just sit in your bag for future use, but I figured “fuck it” and tried one, which made me float, and I realized what I needed to do to get to chests in rooms full of traps without using all my hp and waiting to heal).

But I’m a mage that specializes in just killing everything I can see and kiting the ones that decide to chase me before they die. Worst case I’ll just ice block and then it becomes the healer’s problem (jk, it will be dead before it reaches the healer, just don’t stop healing the tank).
Depended on the instance we were in, of course, but most of the 5 mans would eventually get pretty boring doing it the safe way.

As I recall, they used to be more similarly priced. Like I remember being flabbergasted at how cheap the Elise was compared to my expectations. I was expecting something more like $60-80k but they were like $30-40k. Miata was a bit cheaper but not by a huge margin.
Though it was a bit different because the Miata was more of a comfort sports car while the Elise was more of a racing sports car with bare minimum interior. Though that makes it sound even better for Doc Brown to tinker with because he wouldn’t have to strip out as much to fit his extra stuff in.
Oh another option just occurred to me, though I don’t recall the specifics, but wasn’t John Titor’s time machine mounted in a vehicle of some sort? His story timeline matches up fairly well with this BTTF remake idea, though iirc he left from the 30s rather than the 20s, and I think his wasn’t closely integrated with the vehicle (like I seem to recall he had said something about swapping the vehicle it was in during his journey). Could update the method from flux capacitors to virtual black holes and even show that laser bending trick (where all other light mysteriously isn’t affected by whatever is affecting the laser lol) as a satirical nod to whoever did that hoax.
- Comment on Y'all might not be ready for this 1 week ago:
Yeah, my thought was either a Miata or maybe go a bit more exotic and go with the Lotus Elise (first released in 1996).

Scrabbling a script isn’t something you can to while scrambling. You end up dropping way too many letters and your dialog ends up consisting of mostly two and three letter words.

And I gave a senior an extra buck behind the convenience store to grab a pack for me when he was grabbing packs for the other kids that had also done the same. I remember one of them was rolling joints and I probably could have bought one of those, too, while I was there, or maybe even something harder.
So the law didn’t stop me from getting smokes despite no machine being involved but it did give me reason to be in contact with people who could get a bunch of other things, too.

The stories contradict each other to the point that my top guess is they were written by different people. Either that or one person gathered a bunch of different stories attributed to Jesus and just wrote them all down rather than checking if the messages contained within were consistent or not.
I’d bet that that passage was added during the Roman times, between Constantine adopting it and the fall of the western empire, when Rome was crumbling under the weight of its corruption but the beaurocracy still functioned.
- Comment on Who cleans the toilets in Gault's Gulch? 1 week ago:
Not that I disagree with your overall stance, but I’ve always found “look how x turned out in this fictional story” to be dubious because fictional stories are written by human writers and only really prove things about what their writers believed. If that logic was sound, it could be defeated by a libertarian writing some dumbass story with a libertarian utopia (actually I kinda want to see that, just to see what kind of evil shit a libertarian would unironically think is part of a utopia, like maybe a new species that loves being slaves, women happy to defer to men, or business men seeing they are being fucked by a deal and laughing about it with the person fucking them rather than walking away or starting a war).
Not saying BioShock is wrong (haven’t actually played any of them yet but they sound pretty based, at least story wise), just that fictional story arcs aren’t exactly convincing to those who think otherwise.
Also, even the stories that show a lot of widespread suffering often have a few people enjoying it all at the top and people who subscribe to rightwing ideology tend to prefer to think about how great it would be being that person or how well they’d be able to manipulate that person into giving them a great life with probably just a little flattery. The person who makes the Torment Nexus from Don’t Make The Torment Nexus isn’t doing it because they think they can run the Torment Nexus in such a way that people won’t suffer in great numbers, they are doing it because they want the power to decide who suffers under the Torment Nexus while they sip on champagne and fuck their supporters’ wives and kids.
- Comment on The irony of arguing with someone who read about it in a history book vs. you having lived it 1 week ago:
Brother Bear died in prison in 2019. Papa Bear caught covid after demonstrating how to wear and how not to wear a mask for Sister Bear’s kids and though he survived the acute phase, he didn’t survive long covid. Mama bear got depressed and gave up, passing away in 2022.
Sister Bear then tried changing her name to Mama Bear but her husband was freaked out when she asked him to change his name to Papa Bear and convinced the judge during the divorce that her obsession was recreating her old family wasn’t healthy for the kids so she only had supervised visitations. She was put down in early 2024 when she mauled the court officer when he tried to physically remove her kids from her (she was still a Mama Bear).
At least that’s what I remember happening in my timeline. Pretty crazy ending for the Barrenstayne Bears.

Yeah but I’d still argue it wasn’t the content that caused that, other than having content attracted more people and there could be some critical mass (though I think it’s about when the medium attracts a more mainstream audience that includes people who don’t like to think more than they absolutely need to).

That was my first strategy. Then, after watching a few attempts, I adjusted that strategy to “set up a new cup and I’ll do it” because that water would have been nasty as soon as the first kid dipped their hands.

The difference is the comment section here has some coherency to it, isn’t sorted to drive engagement, and the platform encourages discussion rather than trying to simultaneously make you interested in this thing but also the next thing so you don’t spend too much time talking about this thing instead of seeing ads.
And no one is trying to use the comment box as a search engine or to message their granddaughter.
I also don’t expect to see many comments on the race of the kids here.
Maybe the community will eventually go to shit here, too, but the difference between the various social media sites isn’t just the content, it’s the way the site is run and the kind of people it attracts and keeps.

Just need to have enough bags to support a slow “when you get to it” rotation. Bags stay in trunk (you might need to double the number of bags you have to support a second vehicle), then grab a bag of bags when going shopping, fill bags at store, empty and full ones go in trunk when leaving store, full bags go inside to wherever is most convenient, then when they are empty, place them near the door. Then, on some trip to the car, remember to grab the bags by the door and stick them into the trunk and you’ve completed one cycle for those bags.
If they get dirty, put them near the laundry instead of the door and either mix them in with another load of laundry or do them separately if you’re getting that many bags dirty often enough to justify a load of bags. If they aren’t specifically dirty, they should be fine. They aren’t like clothes where you’re slowly sweating and getting skin oils into them so need to wash them on the regular. Just turn them inside out to make sure the bits of onion skin all get washed out.

Oh and don’t forget to forget that a large number of agencies that were the ones to deal with that emergency just so happened to be wargaming something very close to the unprecedented event that actually happened that same day: dealing with a terrorist attack that uses airplanes as missiles and flies them into buildings.
NORAD was one of them. Iirc NY firefighters were another.

Because then they can advertise their other games to you along with other things, at least going by the blizzard/Activision launcher.
Can also do environment checks or setup and some troubleshooting/debug/repair from them.
