It’s soooo good. Incredibly moody, strange, easy to play while also being a vaguely alienating experience that contributes to the otherworldly vibe.

I loved it so much, some genuinely troubling dilemmas at times if you get into it. I do recommend trying to get the airship first and then side no actually, do whatever it’s short and sweet and full of yearning.

The sluiced fragments (some of) hairtie for scale.

Not practical, but I want a tiny 3d printed chest of gem rough so for now I’m collecting it all.

Uh tiny fragments of zircon and saph I haven’t sorted yet. A single flec of gold and a metric tonne of magnetite.

Gonna dry the cons and strip out the magnetite and look for more gold, it’s not an area where you expect it though. This was the sand from classifying a few buckets for sapphire. Photo of sieve finds attached, the sluice found similar stuff but smaller.

well it’s all reprap although prusa’a i3 design has been the foundation of bedslingers since it. I was there when the old magic was written and we were trying to find ways to print wires for motors haha.

you don’t often have a car driving through your bedroom or whatever. I’m not saying you should put as much effort into filtering the exhaust from a 3d printer chamber as nation states should to removing car dependence. I’m saying if you’re spending 300 euros on a printer spend 10 on cleaning it’s pollutants.

Or not, take whatever risks you like it’s your body.

Pretty much, also I’m pretty sure prusa are still all open hardware so you can do your own thing if you enjoy suffering.

I will say you should probably not run a fdm machine in the same room as you without filtration. I would recommend enclosing them for myriad reasons, and in the enclosure run a fan that forces air through a filter and activated carbon. No reason to increase exposure to VOCs and microplastics.

If you get a fdm that can dual material fiddly prints become a lot easier as you can use a support material you can dissolve off. That starts getting expensive.

Also consider material running cost. Resin is expensive (but minis don’t use much), plastic is cheaper but not that much cheaper buying quality, adding in supports, and dealing with failed prints.

cloudflare uses a wall of lavalamps because it’s a fun project that looks cool and gets free advertising.

There are so many sources of noise, lavalamps are probably one of the most expensive in set up and running costs.

It’s a pretty cool wall though, hence the free advertising.

If leftist: I believe that oppressing others for my own personal gain is wrong, there is no consistent framework which excludes animals from moral consideration that does not also exclude some humans. Using intelligence to rank who you’re allowed to hurt is Nazi shit.

If not leftist: you know how watching someone hurt an animal makes you sad? Killing animals to eat hurts them.

I understand why people don’t take preventative measures in the absence of symptoms especially when they’re bombarded with everything is fine messages. While I’m kinda angry at the general 'rona response I try not to blame individuals. But like if you are coughing and spluttering you should not be inviting people round to your house! And if you do have to go out while sick (we all are yolked to mammon I get that you might be coerced into work or need to get supplies or whatever) you absofuckinglutely should be trying not to spread stuff.

Idk, I live outside a city (just) and don’t go into there very much but like you bet I’m masking up if I’m going to be spending time indoors with people, especially during peaks of anything.

Apparently I’m a paranoid nutter though, since I do stuff like check on rates of reportable illnesses and plan around peak cold and flu season, get flu vaccines, and wash my hands /shrug.

Hear hear. If someone is threatening or harassing you mods and admins are the first port of call.

If you think someone has silly ideas then by all means critique ideas but trawling through a random person’s comments to highlight them for public shaming is juvenile bullying and completely unproductive. If someone isn’t targetting individuals and is just saying something you find aggravating block and move on, the alternative is this website degenerates into a cycle of reddit drama ‘le epic owns’ drivel.

Ditching consumerism really helped me, I think.

I have been trying to deprogram myself for years. I used to just default to this pattern of looking for a product for each problem. Now I try and think more holistically and make do more or look to see if I can reframe my desires.

Without litigating terminology it is true that there are not like single receptor effects, or that there is a potentially fatal rebound. However it does mess with homeostasis in ways that can make it difficult to stop. Sudden cessation can cause difficult sleeping, anxiety, nightmares, appetite suppression, restlessness, and low mood. It’s relatively easy to deal with compared to stuff that messes with gaba, opiod receptors, or dopamine but it’s still much harder than changing what you eat or whatever.

Review from Canadia finds: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?as_ylo=2020&q=cannabis+health++review&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&as_rr=1#d=gs_qabs&t=1731272057908&u=%23p%3DZQNk8wwxTvkJ

Legalization has been associated with increased adult hospital attendances for psychiatric distress and vomiting, unintentional ingestion of edible cannabis products by children and hospitalizations for cannabis use disorders in adults. There is conflicting evidence on whether cannabis‐impaired driving has increased since legalization. There is suggestive evidence that presentations to emergency departments with psychoses and cannabis use disorders may have increased since legalization.

Evidence of slight increases in psychosis, consistent with hypothesis that cannabis can trigger episodes in people with pre-existing conditions. Evidence that taking too much is uncomfortable.

finds that strong cannabis might make mental health worse.

Realistically inhaling it is the most harmful thing if you’re not prone to bad brain.

People have used it for a long time without serious harm but the higher dose modern strains are increasingly associated with stuff like hyperemises syndrome. So uh as with all things enjoy in moderation, we are all but food for worms, it’s probably safer than driving a car or whatever.

Q:

Definitely lying awake at night beating myself up for uh, cooking? It’s cooking. I default to making stuff from scratch anyway

I’m still sick, this is bullshit :/ I wanna get back out to the gem fields but a walk around the block has me coughing up my lungs.

Why are people so cavalier about infecting people, you wouldn’t feed someone bad food, why do people insist on hosting social events while sick? Sickness isn’t inevitable, it spreads largely through deliberate decisions. I know of no infection you’re better off having than not, many infections could kill or cause long term damage.

Sorry, how is some user saying your instance is shit bullying and harassment? Like to see that a user from your instance has to browse this instance or /all. See a discussion asking whether users of vegantheoryclub think this instance should defed, and then scroll through the comments.

Like on what planet is that bullying or harassment? I am genuinely flabbergasted that you think it is?

Some are gems. Some did not age very well.

Any recommendations for someone who is as old as most of them with reactions to match. That aren’t ‘fiddly’ to play (e.g. menu heavy, twitchy, brutually punishing etc)?

There is obviously a difference between someone posting an opinion in a thread and it being worded a bit hyperbolically and publishing a screenshot of that comment to all laugh at. Like that is so obviously different this defense comes across as extremely bad faith.

If the user had been highlighting particular individuals from shitjustworks as examples of jobless losers or whatever that would be one thing. They were just asked their opinion on it and they said it wasn’t worthwhile.

They’re not advocating for purges, bullying someone, or calling for harassment. They just think your instance is shit.

huh, this story is really old and of dubious origin but afaict the original websites are down and I can’t be bothered going into archives.

It could be made up. Probably really.

They’re probably studying effects of diet on cognitive function.

I am not sure if you’re being deliberately contrarian to protect cognitive dissonance, or just wildly ignorant of how studies are conducted.

In the most literal sense a study is made of a battery of experiments that are each run across a series of tests. This is also just “an experiment” colloquially since they’re all testing the same area. They do not take rats from say a maze solving study, then give them diabetes for a different study, then give them a brain tumor before putting them in the decapicone (a real product).

I have stolen lab rats marked for death, I know what I’m talking about.
