That wet/dry distinction might not be as big of a deal as you make it still depending on county size. North Carolina has 100(!!) counties, with only one dry still, at that size and with the typical spread between places you easily pass through a couple of counties daily just doing normal day-to-day stuff. For example, I live in Wake County but my grocery store is in Harnett County and my Best Buy is in Johnston County, all still within a 20 minute drive.

It's not harmful to watch Alex Jones videos, lizard people videos, deep state conspiracy videos. This premise should be rejected outright. It is more harmful to be watching videos about religion, astrology, etc. In some cases, these are mainstream belief systems that have caused countless death, destruction, financial ruin for thousands of years. This sudden interest in harm reduction is disingenuous and conveniently selective.

If you are not treating these videos as harmful, do not waste my time with blatant politics disguised as sanctimonious harm reduction.

As a new YouTube user why am I recommended 100% of comedians and channels who have identical politics? What are the odds?

All extreme ideology and ideologues - left, right, up down, are poisonous and divisive. They should be treated equally, not selectively.

>and am stuck on 10.13.6

We have multiple Apple hardware based music systems 75% of which are deliberately still, not stuck, on 10.13.6.. We also have a few M1s.

After decades of continual forced disconnects/'upgrades' of software/hardware compatibility we drew a line at 10.13.6 and have been very happy and have not missed a single so-called new feature, both from Mac OS or any DAW we use.

We are, however, ready to move to Apple silicon, based on our early assessments.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriot_Act

It's not overblown. The horror that is the "Patriot Act" was temporary, until it wasn't. It only expired in December 2020, 19 years later, because Trump threatened to veto it if he didn't get his way, and as a result it expired because nobody chose to vote on it. If I was a betting man, I would assume it's still in use even when expired.

So, temporary laws can last for decades.
So what will happen is that some politician's husband will die in an accident and the bot will call out the politician on Twitter right when she reads about it on her phone.

The problem is, in most places there are no professional therapists avaiable who can (legally) work with mushrooms.

This is the real sadness to me. So many people seem to start dabbling in various forms of drugs as a way to ail their problems, and if there were qualified people who could help with that (beyond merely dishing out the typical SSRIs, benzos or stimulants) I think a lot of good could be done.
A major point that this article is making is that all these statistics are misleading because stores and individuals have systematically stopped reporting most property crime incidents as it's worthless effort because nothing gets done about the reports.

That was my experience as well. In my later teenage years there was a pretty successful movie around where the protagonist develops schizophrenia after using LSD one single time and his subsequential descent into "madness". That scared me off psychedelics for decades.

According to this ^, the police in the US is 3.5x more likely to kill civilians compared to other developed nations. (It would be interesting to find a world-wide comparison here.)
The meanings of words matter if we are to understand each other. Fascism has a very specific historical meaning. Violence is a far more general concept.
>In many countries, cities, and neighbourhoods in "the west" if you aren't white you experience exactly the kind of insecurity you describe elsewhere. There are plenty of incidents where non-white residents are arrested while working on their own car, or entering their own home because a neighbour saw them and decided they did not or could not belong.

Does this go beyond anecdotes and are that quantifiable occurrences that are disproportionally happening in the west vs. other countries? Because I know of many contrary anecdotes of Non-European people, living very safely and without such concerns in western countries.

In my opinion I'd tend say that modern western societies are the most safe and welcoming societies for foreigners, were you face the least amount of discrimination as an outsider.

So I should start dressing up as obscure anime characters in order to get replies to my tweets...
it should be noted that this not recommended doing this out of a medical context.
Insightful article.

There are, though, interesting tidbits in many Chinese characters regarding the idea they convey.

For example, 'mother'. The article mentions 妈 (ma), which indeed does not imply much, but I think this is because it is mostly to express the universal 'mama' for mothers (and indeed 'papa' for fathers), which is phonetic in nature. But there is a character that specifically means 'mother': 母 (mu) [1]. This one is purely concept-based and its etymology is that it represents a woman with her breasts and nipples emphasised.
As it happens (perhaps another case of 'word phrenology') it is sometimes said that in Chinese the concept of mother is more functional than biological.

One of the problems is that most people don't know they are susceptible and only find out after. It's a dice roll without some kind of ability to do a screening.

Dosage is usually measured in grams for the dried out mushrooms. There's no standard scale because the amount of psilocybin in each mushroom can vary quite a lot. Counter-intuitively, larger fruits tend to be less potent than smaller ones. The amount you take should depend on the kind of experience you want. Body weight shouldn't make a big difference. (These assume potent mushrooms such as Cubensis, Liberty Cap, Wavy Cap). Main effects kick in around 60-90 minutes after eating.

1/4-1/2g: microdose. You should still be able to function pretty normally on this.

1.0-1.5g: Recreational dose, lasting a couple of hours.

2.0-3.5g: Deep trip, lasting 3-6 hours.

4-5g+: Hero dose. Not recommended for beginners.

My first dose was 3.0g (cubensis) and it was great. I don't really see the point on microdosing and I see mushrooms as more medicine than a recreational drug. I usually take 3.5g as they're typically sold as 7g (1/4oz), which is 2 doses.

Would a dedicated timer be better than an app?

There are a few things that I started with the app version and eventually upgraded to a dedicated device - a metronome, guitar tuner, and ereader are ones that I have near me right now.
I wish I had your experience.

During mine, I cried a lot, I texted my mum but I'm still inside the same hole that I was in before. Also some additional experiments with LSD (halfdose as well microdosing) didn't help with my depression.

And to jump two replies ahead: them trying to make it "easy" and "save" doesn't imply their users are idiots. Quite a few developers and scientists use Macs, and the lawyers aren't exactly dumb either. Spending hours trying to somehow get both sound and bluetooth to work at the same time, a favourite pastime on Linux, means lifetime wasted for something that shouldn't need doing. And considering nobody reads the source, there is no reason to believe some "expert" has some ability to avoid installing that one extension that soon starts encrypting their files. At least they tend to have better backups...
One thing Europeans often don't consider is that the population and size of a European country is about on par with a bigger US state and that US states have a lot of legal independence. So the variation is a bit less crazy than it sounds.

Even device's own ground plane some times works. Though, it's near impossible to do with isolated power supplies. Modern ULP MCUs are incredibly power efficient, and can run for a day on a power of a single LED blink.

Anything wireless is still out of the question unless real ground is there though. Without ground, a dedicated power harvesting circuit would certainly provide more power.

We experimented with harvesting, with 10cm antennas, it's just enough to do a single beep once 20-30 minutes using specialised ULP UHF radios, or RX for a few seconds once a minute.

The main point of ACA was removing the ability for managed care organizations (MCOs, or health insurers) to refuse or price one’s premiums based on the probabilities of their future healthcare costs. This is why I prefer the term MCO, as they are no longer selling just insurance, so the term insurer does not seem apt.

ACA introduced rules that effectively make health insurance premiums a tax, where the young and healthy pay for the old and sick (like taxpayer funded healthcare). It did so in a few ways:

1) force MCOs to provide insurance to everyone, by removing pre existing conditions as a criteria for pricing insurance (effectively causing healthy people to subsidize sick people)

2) force everyone to buy insurance (although this got neutered, both by removing individual penalty and allowing employer sponsored plans to continue to exist)

3) pricing is only based on age, location, smoking status

4) pricing is such that highest premium can only be 3x the premium of ages 21 to 24, effectively causing young people to subsidize old people

5) out of pocket maximums for in network providers - this leaves in the true insurance part of the business in that you will not have to pay over a certain amount in a calendar year.

https://www.healthcare.gov/glossary/out-of-pocket-maximum-li...

>I'm not sure why there is so much state-to-state variance, but afaik the aca wouldn't prevent that.

Because insurance regulation is still at the state level, and MCOs were allowed to use location as a factor in calculating premiums, so different places in the US have different healthcare costs due to factors such as wages, land costs, liability costs. Although this mostly exists on the state level, I do not think it gets more granular than that.

Consider:

> The Display-P3 space is about one third larger than sRGB. This means that from CSS we have no access to roughly one third of the colors that modern monitors can display.

50% larger - 1/3 larger would mean that only 1/4 of Display-P3 is missing from sRGB.

Not that it really matters since the LAB color space used to derive this difference makes no attempt to make the color volume meaningful.
The special thing about ground source heat pumps is, well, that they use ground instead of air - and it turns out to be a really important thing because of the temperature differences between ground and air.

A/C or heat pump efficiency is directly related to the temperature difference over which you're trying to pump. If the temperature difference is twice as large, you need to spend twice as much energy to pump the same amount of heat.

Furthermore, the days where you need a heat pump (or A/C) the most are the peak cold/heat days where the temperature difference between your house and the air is much larger than usual. Because of this, a ground source heat pump can do the same thing by spending much less power than an air source heat pump, so it is "greener" - though the installation is more cumbersome and expensive.
I would love to have some one write an article about how they even manages to do that.

Read trip reports on Erowid.[1]

There are plenty of both good and bad trip reports.

The thing about bad trips, though, is that many people actually get a lot out of them, and find them to be therapeutic or something they learned from.

I've personally learned a lot more from my bad trips than my good trips, and ultimately found them a lot more rewarding. Not that I'd want to have a bad trip, but I found them to be a lot more insightful and those were the trips that really helped me grow, while the good trips were just fun.

At least they covered the energy conversion problem. I've always thought it would be easier to skip the electric step and drive a steam engine to drive vehicle wheels directly. But of course capturing the expended steam to condense back down to water to feed the loop would be a huge problem. And if you don't do that all you did was trade your fuel source and still have a range problem with water tanks.

A nuclear jet engine might be more interesting, directly heating / expanding the air for propulsion with only that single stage of energy conversion. Admittedly whatever is conducting the heat from the core to the air would have to be pretty exotic.
