It is impossible to convince a stupid person that you aren’t stupid. It’s built into being stupid and a key difference between stupid and ignorant.

Sounds like a perfect program for Miles and Bashir.

Hard to know it’s him on the holodeck from a silhouette.

Tomorrow they will be within 16 miles of my place. But I won’t be able to see them because I’ll be rebuilding someone’s subfloor.

Well at least they have that going for them. Which is nice.

// This isn’t an anti lesbian comment. This is an antinatalism comment from a childless for life pro gay rights advocate.

I saw it back in the day. I remembered two things.

1. he swilled up like he got stung by a bee when he went through his metamorphosis.

2. green means go. Red means stop. Yellow means go real fast.

I rewatched it last year. I still only remember those two things. Well that, lights over a crater and an sex scene that didn’t phase me as a kid but felt useless as an adult.

I think this is underselling OPEC’s roll increasing supply to depress the demand for bootleg oil.

Can’t wait to see how the administration completely botches the case because they ran all the good lawyers out of town. And by good I don’t mean winning, I just mean competent.

As opposed to singer song writer Angelina Jolie? Or Broadway play and opera singer Angelina Jolie?

Did we forget who she is? Have younger generations no knowledge of her existence?

I’ve seen a lot of bad gold design lately but this redeems the whole idea.

Yup. Completely useless on anything immune to the placebo effect.

Questions to ask a homeopath:

1. how long do the vibrations last?
2. how can you test a homeopathic pill to see if the vibrations have decreased
3. what are the frequencies of the vibrations for the different homeopathic ingredients?
4. do the vibrations decrease over time?
5. how do you remove all previous vibrations?
6. what is the half life of the vibrations and does it change from the vibrations of an onion to the vibrations of a duck liver at some point as it slows?
7. by what mechanism does the body read and measure these vibrations?
8. once measured by the body what actions are taken and how can we measure them?
9. how are vibrations transfered from one molecule to another?
10. how does the native vibrations of water change the vibrations of the substance? Because when you add two frequencies you get a new third frequency.
11. how are these frequencies different from brownian motion?
12. how can you verify your water is free of vibrations from previous interactions?

I was a nix admin. For two decades. Printers are banned in my house. My only IoT device is a Roku stick. I have 6 geese, 4 ducks, 14 chickens, too many cats, one acre, a number of raised beds, fruit trees and grape vines. I’m now a handyman.

I fit the profile.

I think they are saying “Bluesky has great blocking features but most of the fediverse doesn’t. This is a place for you to post about people to ban no matter where you find them so that others can take action as well. Maybe one day the fediverse will have tools to make this unnecessary.”

I’m not really sure how long it took. I started after dinner but before putting the chickens away so maybe 6:30? and finished at 10. But I took a few breaks for laundry and stuff. So maybe two and a half hours?

If it’s not absolute zero, it has a temperature. There is radiation creating heat throughout the entire universe.

I have a long documented history of ranting against supplements. I am very aware. They often contain things they don’t say they do and don’t contain what they say they do. That most of it’s just expensive of urine. That you shouldn’t be taking any supplement unless specifically recommended by your doctor because a blood test showed a deficiency and you should know how to make something you take actually bioavailable. The industry is mostly a scam. And I hate going into health food stores. We’re more than half the square footage is supplements. Little pharma is trying to steal your money.

The craft radiates heat into the void. Not conduction but radiation.

The cold vacuum of space isn’t the lack of heat in matter. It’s the absence of matter. That rare molecule hitting the spacecraft will transfer thermal energy to it. But the effect will be practically nothing because it will be counteracted by the overwhelming mass of the craft which is being cooled by the vacuum of space and being heated on the inside by its nuclear reactor so that it doesn’t get too cold to operate.

I expect HSL antagonists to be hitting the unregulated supplement industry pretty quickly. Then we will find that some aren’t bioavailable at all and a complete waste of money. But others will be super effective and people will start dropping from heart attacks if their kidneys don’t collapse first.
