They wish they were in an antenna and going out as radio waves, but instead they’re in a dummy load. 50ohm is a common antenna impedance.

Look ashamed and maybe do a single flash of my hazards.
- Comment on Cone snails 1 week ago:
The cone snail referenced in the study you linked, Conus geographus, also has the same ion channel disrupting venom that is typical of cone snails. If you were bit by one, you’d die of paralysis, not hypoglycemia.
It does appear to use an insulin-like peptide to initially stun the fish, but the coup de grâce is from typical paralytic conotoxins.
A cool discovery nonetheless and TIL.
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25301479/
Conus geographus is the most dangerous cone snail species known, with reported human fatality rates as high as 65%. Crude venom gland extracts have been used to determine animal LD50 and to aid the isolation of several potent paralytic toxins. […]The molecular composition of individual defense-evoked venom showed significant intraspecific variations, but a core of paralytic conotoxins including α-GI, α-GII, μ-GIIIA, ω-GVIA and ω-GVIIA was always present in large amounts, consistent with the symptomology and high fatality rate in humans.

I’m a biochemist and my university studied conotoxins for use as analgesics. They’re ion channel blockers.
- Comment on Cone snails 1 week ago:
It’s got nothing to do with insulin or glucose levels, though. It blocks either sodium or potassium channels, can’t remember off the dome. Temporarily ruins the electrical conductivity of nerves.

Ori isn’t bad. I’d not consider it “souls like” in the slightest.

Obviously that’s not possible, even with computers.
- Comment on What's up with "Plex Servers"? 1 week ago:
None of the above. Algorithmically generated playlists based off song/album/artist, decades, genres, top rated tracks, etc. including intelligent auto mixing based on key/BPM with crossfading, and ability to choose tracks not only from your own libraries, but from all libraries shared with you.

- Comment on What is the best way to drop 50lbs in two months without spending alot and no fad diets? 1 week ago:
That is metabolism. CICO will make literally anyone gain or lose weight. Nothing in the universe violates thermodynamics.
Not eating anything for a month is an eating disorder.

True that. I don’t pressure them into it.

Doesn’t have the excellent Plexamp automix nor ability to add all my friends shares to my radio stations.
I appreciate the efforts but I’m very happy with my current setup.
- Comment on What's up with "Plex Servers"? 1 week ago:
I’m specifically doing this to get family and friends to cancel their streaming subscriptions. Not to save them money, to hurt the corporations more than I can do just myself.
- Comment on What's up with "Plex Servers"? 1 week ago:
I dunno, maybe it didn’t when I was first setting up my server a few years back. It doesn’t have Plexamp though and that’s a deal breaker.
- Comment on What's up with "Plex Servers"? 1 week ago:
I’m a Plex server guy for friends and family, I have about a dozen users and maybe 3-4 at a time at the peaks. I charge nothing, it’s just a hobby. We’re out there.
I’d switch to Jellyfin but my users need transcoding and Plexamp is my favorite audio player since Winamp.

- Comment on It's fine 1 week ago:
I miss the era of overclocking for easy performance gains. Pencil modding a Duron to an Athlon and increasing clocks by mounting a big fat copper heatsink and cranking vcore. You could save tons of money just by learning fun shit and having a modicum of technical ability. Now everything is dynamic clocks and power limits and it’s all so boring. My 5800X3D / 5090 absolutely tears ass out of the box but there’s no tweakability and I miss that shit.
The first boot of a computer during the era of jumpers for setting vcore was a tense experience. Will the magic smoke come out? Never did, but I always puckered up.
- Comment on Is it possible to cool my body enough to not sweat while exercising? 1 week ago:
If you reduce the relative humidity by using the AC, the sweat will be more likely to evaporate and less likely to drip off of you. I think that’s about all you can do, maybe buy a dehumidifier.
- Comment on PISS 1 week ago:
I just piss directly on the cops, you don’t have to carry around any incriminating evidence and you can easily adjust the piss level to fit the situation. No “one piss fits all” solution means you can piss on way more cops per gallon of water.

The cause of death for most opioid overdoses is literally cardiac arrest.
Respiratory arrest.
- Comment on Why are americans taking health advice from a former heroin addict ? 2 weeks ago:
I never said addiction was harmless. However, your claim that opiate addiction causes neurological issues due to oxygen deprivation outside of an acute overdose is unfounded. If this was the case, chronic opiate users (in the strictly clinical sense) would be given supplemental oxygen.
- Comment on Why are americans taking health advice from a former heroin addict ? 2 weeks ago:
If this was true those on chronic opiate medications would be given supplemental oxygen. There would also be studies demonstrating the neurodegenerative effects of opiates.
Opiates are rather safe outside of overdose and sequelae of unsafe injection / smoking. They are incredibly benign in the sense you could take 20-40-80-160mg OxyContin your whole life and not have any issues beyond constipation.
- Comment on I consider myself as a left-libertarian who supports limited government and direct democracy. Can left-libertarians support limited government? 2 weeks ago:
I am also a left libertarian and I justify my position thusly. Government will always be abused and turned against the people so its power should be limited. What power is granted to the government should be expressly for the benefit of the people. Not a small group of people, all people.

Any strong system will inevitable by perverted by a corrupt ruler and twisted to benefit a minority ruling class at the expense of the people.
