⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Enantiomers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
D/L refers to the entire molecule and how it polarizes light whereas R/S looks at every chiral center and has a priority system to assign. I’ve only really seen D/L in biochemistry, regular chemistry is using R/S notation. It’s much more specific and isn’t related to polarization of light.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Enantiomers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Not any molecule, it’s gotta be able to have stereoisomers in the first place. There’s no R or S water for example.

Well they’re not separated, so who’s really making the pedantic argument here?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would having two hearts be better or worse for the human body?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Citation needed. The junctions in cardiac cells make electrical signals propagate through them all, so acting independently isn’t something that’s normal. There’s two loops, but one pump. It’s a single system.

all the “positive effects” disappeared over time and i was just left with those meh ones

This is the case for every single drug I’ve tried, and one of my hobbies is treating Erowid like a Pokédex.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do you think freewill truly exists?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

a societal acceptance of the absence of free will removes the burden of guilt

Those cops, judges, lawyers, jail guards etc also don’t have free will, so while maybe the burden of guilt is gone, the legal repercussions still would exist all the same.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do you think freewill truly exists?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Yeah, this literally is how it works, like to a T.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IT’S THE FEDS!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I do appreciate how strong the magnets are. The force between a two 1cm square steel plates in a 2T field is about 159N or 36 lbs of force.

I do not think the contact area between parts of the trigger / sear etc and striker / whatever else are more than 1cm square, they’re also lubricated. Given the orientation of the pistol could also change, making the friction force less effective, I think it’s possible that a pistol is able to fire after being sucked into the MRI.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IT’S THE FEDS!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Most modern pistols are striker fired not hammer fired.

I’d venture a guess nothing out of the ordinary happens thanks to lube and springs. Gun fires.

If there’s anything I’ve learned from my weed growing hobby, it’s that nobody cares unless you’re doing it on a near industrial scale, like converting an entire floor or house to a grow.

A hot tub requires way more power than your average hobbyist grow op these days. I can’t imagine a reptile setup is requiring 10+ kWh/day (what a fucked unit that is btw)
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the real struggle is choosing which to replace⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I have a single alarm set. I came to this after years of pointless snoozing.

If you need to get up at a certain time, get up at that time. If you don’t need to get up at a certain time, just turn off the alarm. Snooze is bullshit, fuck snooze. You gain nothing from snooze. If you really must lay around half conscious in bed, just set an alarm like an hour before the real alarm. I just don’t understand the multiple alarm people. Do you really gain all that much from turning off your alarm 6 times before you actually get up versus an entire hour to chill before the actual alarm?

I hate the sound of the alarm and I absolutely don’t want to hear it, or lay there anticipating it. One annoying ring of the alarm is all it takes, more annoying rings just make a shittier start to the day IMO.

This is not how lipids are metabolized. They are not converted to glucose. Fats are broken down to monoglycerides to be absorbed, recombined to triglycerides and eventually chylomicrons, and transported to adipose tissue.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is it okay for shit to go down the drain but not food?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
What’s the point of a garbage disposal if you can’t put food in there? You don’t need that to make liquids go down the drain.

Poop has been used historically as a building material (eg wattle and daub) and is fine for load bearing applications provided you do the math.

I used something very similar when I did aviation accident investigation. I’d use it to analyze how wires broke or take a look at cracks in buckles appeared. This was back in 2011. Very cool to see how this technology has advanced.

I always wondered if it was real when I was younger, but now having been on the internet a few decades longer, there’s not much doubt anymore.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I download a blob: video?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Hm, still might be worth a shot. There are ways to grab private posts when you’re logged in by using a browser console and finding the line for the video but I’m kinda too dumb for that. I’d probably just use a screen recorder at that point. I don’t need a Snapchat web-dl.

Never knew about that story, but I do have a somewhat tangential one about dolphin handjobs.

Teenage me and my friend are out back in the woods smoking weed out of a can or pringles bong or some other stupid contraption a 16/17 year old would assemble. A thought occurred to me, and it didn’t seem strange at the time to me. After a bit of quietness sitting around getting baked in the woods, I broke the silence with:

“Ever been to dolphinsex.org?”

My friend about pissed himself laughing, guess that URL was not an expected topic of discussion. This was peak early internet, find weird sites and discuss with your friends era for me. This question became a bit of a meme amongst our group.

Anyways, bless archive.org, looks like the website went defunct around 2005. You can still check it out, not really NSFW unless someone is reading over your shoulder. Web 1.0 was a crazy place to be as a teenager.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I download a blob: video?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
You just said web though, right? Not the app. There’s downloaders for everything if you have a link to a public post.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I download a blob: video?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
For social media videos I always just search for <service> video downloader, paste the link to the post and get the video. I do this for Facebook, instagram, and Reddit. I don’t want some plugin I’ll use rarely and the web downloaders seem to work fine.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm a 6'1" man with size 3 feet which means every they measure my feet at a shoe store, the Brannock device gatekeeps my gender⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
It’s totally true from a physics standpoint. A longer lever arm between the load and fulcrum requires more force to move the same weight for a type 1 lever, all else being equal.

“Harder to exercise” is poorly defined, especially when you go on to discuss endurance, speed, and force, all of which are very different terms.

I totally get what you’re saying, but I specifically narrowed it down to force for a reason. My shorter friends kick my ass in lifting due to the mechanical advantage their shorter limbs have, but I smoke them in a distance run because my longer limbs allow me to traverse a greater distance in a single step. This is complicated though because larger lungs are a factor here too.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm a 6'1" man with size 3 feet which means every they measure my feet at a shoe store, the Brannock device gatekeeps my gender⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

The smaller the foot, in this case, the harder the muscles have to work to create the same torque (or moment).

Isn’t that backwards? A shorter lever requires less force. If you had a 10 foot long foot, you’d have to have insanely strong calf muscles to stand on your tip toes.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm a 6'1" man with size 3 feet which means every they measure my feet at a shoe store, the Brannock device gatekeeps my gender⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
That would be relevant to the calf muscles, but the lower surface area of the feet means higher pressure in terms of psi or pascals.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Air Fruit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Where’s air involved? Sounds like things traveling through plant vasculature.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨God is a dick.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Yes, it requires infinite energy for any mass to get to light speed.

I don’t think our understanding of physics breaks down at such extremes though. I believe it’s decently understood, as in general and special relativity. I’m not a physicist though.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨God is a dick.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
I mean if we’re already violating physics by having objects with mass going the speed of light, I don’t see what’s wrong with also assuming the thing we have for going light speed can’t also instantaneously accelerate.
