It’s one of those unfortunate words that has multiple meanings depending on the venue/context, and where the casual meaning conflates and lessens the value of the technical meaning. Another: “experts.”

There are many valid complaints about Teams in this thread. The most unforgivable for me is the purple theme. Purple isn’t even a wavelength. It shouldn’t exist, and I shouldn’t be forced to stare at it throughout my work day.

It contains myristicin. Disclaimer up front that the best-case scenario is you don’t experience the trip and just get dry mouth and an upset stomach. It takes a lot of nutmeg, there’s a chance of poisoning since you likely won’t know the potency to begin with, and the Erowid vault is full of horrible experiences. Interesting to read though: www.erowid.org/experiences/subs/exp_Nutmeg.shtml

Zero rehabilitative potential, but they could basically do this now by putting a prisoner in restraints and sending them on a nutmeg trip. Guaranteed horror with a complete loss of time perception. If purgatory were real, it would be a nutmeg trip.

Still in my top 5. I think the acting is better than most science fiction blockbusters and every science fiction series.

I’m so thankful for copypastadb.com . It’s saved me from wasting time replying to crazy stuff on more than one occasion.

I’m pretty sure I’ve been to that internet cafe, and I’m pretty sure it’s in Thamel, Kathmandu. Still better than Spectrum.

They already started their Linux journey with Chrome OS! What’s the worst that could happen, they turn a brick into a brick? And the best? Transcendence 🧘

Are you at a school known for its math or engineering offerings, teaching applied or theoretical students primarily? There’s quite a bit of variability between schools in US.

Yeah I like that. Looks like Aspergillus versicolor, dem bubbly septate hyphae tho.

Technically Kelvin is an absolute scale, where there are not “degrees,” just references to “absolute zero” which is supposed to be no vibrational energy, but is not actually zero kinetic energy since there is still zero-point energy. It’s as arbitrarily chosen a reference as any other scale, and for a specific purpose. We used it often when I was in the natural sciences, but it can be just as strange to have to think in terms of adjusting for 273.15K for the misleading “freezing point of water” or 298.15K for STP, another arbitrary standard of measurement. Kelvin is no better than Rankine. And, it’s even more confusing if you think of temperature as an average energy in a system, and have to consider quantum gases with a temperature “below absolute zero.”
Annoyance in the 21st century at cultural relics and colloquial is kind of silly.

Don’t dispose of the rags. You can set them on a hot radiator to dry out and they’ll be good as new!
