There’s 5-MeO-DMT in them there toads, as well.

You won’t, because you fundamentally misunderstand what’s happening.
- Comment on A rogue object so strange, scientists aren’t sure what to call it. 3 days ago:
Well, that statement is completely incorrect. The magnetic field doesn’t attract particles, which I stated in my earlier comment.
- Comment on A rogue object so strange, scientists aren’t sure what to call it. 3 days ago:
The absolute distance is extremely relevant to how many particles reach the planet, which in turn is extremely relevant to how bright the aurora is.
- Comment on A rogue object so strange, scientists aren’t sure what to call it. 5 days ago:
I don’t think you’re quite understanding the distances involved in what I’m getting at. The particle flux is minuscule, and it’s not the magnetic field that’s attracting particles. It’s only guiding the particles that were already headed towards the planet.
This planet would have great aurorae if it were near a star, but it’s not, so the magnetic field strength is kind of a moot point.

Me: Once again the “no one:” format demonstrating how pointless it is, as cropping that bit out leads to the same thing.
- Comment on A rogue object so strange, scientists aren’t sure what to call it. 5 days ago:
Both the magnetic field strength and charged particle flux fall off proportional to the square of the distance from the planet / star respectively, so I doubt it gets much of anything even with a strong magnetic field unless it’s also near a star.
I’d also point out that the particles aren’t really attracted by the earths magnetic field, we’re just in the pathway, and the magnetic field funnels them to the poles. It’s more guidance than attraction.

Right, and sometime in the future it’ll be an even larger problem like fucking up multiple planets. Of course the problems of today are unique in their scale; they’ll also be dwarfed by problems in the future, and today will seem simple in comparison.
There’s a reason people always think the world / society is going to end with their generation, and yet it never happens.
You’d be incredibly lucky to witness the end of the world, it’s something people have been talking about for thousands of years.
- Comment on Greed is Destroying the World - Drew Gooden 1 week ago:
No, I don’t think I’m being profound by saying something akin to “the more things change, the more things stay the same.” I just don’t think today is all that different from the past.
- Comment on Greed is Destroying the World - Drew Gooden 1 week ago:
Same as it ever was. Today’s incomprehensible horrors will seem quaint and simple 100 years in the future.
- Comment on After Apple originally announced the first version of Halo in 1999, Xbox apparently called Bungie and said "'Steve Jobs can't have that. We're going to buy you.'" 1 week ago:
Good points.

How is this a nightmare vision? Proprietary bullshit, which is what consoles are, is what Apple does better than the others.

Back when I was in the military I saw one on the sidewalk in Texas as I was stepping forward, too late to abort. It was fine, completely unfazed by my combat boots. It had to fit in between one of the treads, but still. Serious little critters.

10mg is a clinical dose. Methamphetamine is a prescription drug.
Discontinuing cold turkey from 10mg daily would not result in significant withdrawal symptoms.
- Comment on It's all relative 3 weeks ago:
You can also fit 10 mg of oral methamphetamine into a healthy pharmaceutical balance.
- Comment on It's all relative 3 weeks ago:
Taking 10 mg of methamphetamine a day is smaller than an average clinical dosage of Adderall, with a similar risk profile.
- Comment on It's all relative 3 weeks ago:
I’m willing to bet you’d be healthier after 10 years of 10mg daily oral methamphetamine than 10 years of 1 slice daily cheesecake.

I got some Kohler quiet / slow close toilet seats and they’re pretty nice. Not to be one of those hail corporate types but it has no fucked up weird ass bracket like yours do there, just a couple plastic bolts that hold it on there. The lid is fairly heavy feeing and you can’t slam it. Pretty nice for a shitter lid if you ask me.
- Comment on "Does Hitler have a right to privacy?" and other big questions in research ethics. 3 weeks ago:
This post made me reach semantic satiation of the word “Hitler” and it’s kinda nice. A word so filled with disgust has ceased to even register as a word in my brain.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, that could very well be a PC. You could take the guts out, put it in a generic box, attach a monitor and peripherals, and have a Linux PC that drastically outperforms PCs of a couple decades ago, with similar functionality. Those were PCs then, why would the definition change?
Regarding the exploit definition, yeah, that’s the good one IMO. The other one is more akin to “life hacks” or “food hacks” and I think it’s silly. Using a butter knife as a screwdriver isn’t a “tool hack.” Putting Doom on a toothbrush isn’t hacking, provided no exploits were necessary. Putting Linux on a MacBook isn’t hacking just because it lacks documentation and the Asahi devs have to figure some things out before it works.
I would be curious to hear your definition of hacking, though. To me it seems if you’re calling Linux on Mac hacking, then there’s a million other things that are hacking and the word loses its meaning.
If Apple locks the bootloader then I’ll completely agree with you. And while I do agree it appears they’re heading in that direction and it sucks, a MacBook is far more “computer” than a console, even if poorly documented and thus difficult to develop for.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 3 weeks ago:
That’s not hacking, that’s development. They’re not bypassing locked bootloaders. The hardware is open.
Try running anything on an Xbox Series S/X or PS5.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 3 weeks ago:
You don’t make me mad by being wrong. You don’t have to “hack the OS” to dual boot a MacBook.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 3 weeks ago:
That doesn’t make the Xbox Series X/S or a PlayStation 5 a computer.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 3 weeks ago:
You can still dual boot operating systems. The fact Asahi isn’t complete yet doesn’t matter.
They’re computers.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 3 weeks ago:
Wrong. MacBooks have Linux, and you can download code from wherever and run it. There’s a terminal you can run commands in. If you want, you can completely fuck it up. macOS is worlds apart from iOS, and MacBooks are more a proper computer than probably even the Steam machine we’re discussing here.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 3 weeks ago:
No, it isn’t, in practice. Xbox and PS5 have more in common with my iPhone than my desktop PC or NAS when it comes to being able to do what I want with it.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 3 weeks ago:
What do you think the Xbox and Playstations are?
Consoles.
