240V vs 120V. For an equivalent amount of current, 240V supplies twice the amount of power to the heating element.

Robot vacuum. My floors are spotless except for some areas you’d never walk on and I only need to do some spot cleaning every month or two.

Been using Voyager since it was called Wefwef for both mobile and desktop Lemmy, love it.

Thanks, I appreciate your replies.

Well said. Still; can you not have authoritarian left and libertarian left viewpoints? I just don’t see how questioning the power capitalist businesses have is limited to the libertarian left. What’s wrong with the definition of left & right on the political compass? I’m not super tuned into political science but this is the first I’ve heard that many leftists have take issue with it. I have seen the authoritarian left referred to as “red fascists”, but do they not also take issue with the power capitalist businesses have? I suppose I’d consider myself a left libertarian. The power of the state should be limited and what power is granted to the state should be used to improve the life of the people.

Authoritarian / libertarian is on a completely different axis from left / right, no?

I still have like 95 blotters of 25C-NBOMe left over from 10 years ago. The low therapeutic ratio and risks associated with overdose are just not worth it to me. I see no improvement over traditional RC tryptamines and phenethylamines.

It’s a very interesting substance. The short duration is a blessing, if you’re uncomfortable just wait 20 minutes and you’re sober again. You’re never going to be locked into hours of thought spirals. I’ve had more difficult experiences with cannabis than DMT.

DMT is great. It’s so short and forceful you don’t have time to have a bad trip. My most difficult times on mushrooms, LSD, or various 2C-x compounds were because I had time to think. There’s no time to think on DMT. One second you’re sucking on the vape and it tastes funny, the next second every thing is melting, you have to close your eyes, and some entity is comforting you and welcoming you back, despite this being your first time.

If it’s bitter, it’s a spitter

“Male dominated” and “women preferred” are not mutually exclusive, for example if women rarely apply for this type of job

This isn’t any exaggeration: it has been demonstrated using statistical analysis Multivariate analysis indicates that economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence. The results provide substantial support for theories of Economic-Elite Domination and for theories of Biased Pluralism, but not for theories of Majoritarian Electoral Democracy or Majoritarian Pluralism.

I think you’ve got a mighty tolerance and it’s probably time for a break if 30-50mg barely hits you. I’m pretty experienced with weed and drugs in general, and 50mg will have me absolutely ripped and mostly non-verbal for hours. 30mg is a sweet spot for stoned and in public.

Stupid bot

It happens if you express any positive sentiment towards Apple. I don’t give a shit, downvotes matter not. I don’t need my phone to be a completely open computer, I have a computer and a server for that. I need a communications appliance, and since I’m the family IT guy, I need the lowest bullshit device my boomer parents can operate. My parents are not going to run some high privacy custom ROM because I’m not going to troubleshoot their problems. I realize that those ROMs are objectively better if you’re only considering the phone, but I basically have to manage a fleet of devices, and it’s easier troubleshooting if I’m also using the same. I don’t love Apple, it’s just easier.

You say it’s purposely stunted, I say it has guardrails that saves me hours and hours of family IT support time un-fucking my elderly parents phones. This was something I’d have to do every single time I was home when we had android phones. I would dump Apple in a heartbeat if something better existed. They’re not good but they’re the best for my personal scenario of the current options.

What are you referring to with “these”?

You’re right, I was mistaken.

That’s US domestic crude which is famously volatile. I’d be curious to see what Venezeula’s oil is like. I’ve heard it’s similar to the shitty heavy crude from the Middle East, which the US has facilities to process, unlike the domestic oil they produce which has to be processed elsewhere.

Edge is already installed for the half dozen times a year I need to specifically use a chromium-based browser.

I see no reason to use chrome over edge. I’m a Firefox guy these days, but if I have to use a chromium browser, I’m using edge.

IMO - drop g fuel to second to last and put celcius in its former place

There’s 5-MeO-DMT in them there toads, as well.

The scenario is not imaginary. His analogy sucks. The rest of the article isn’t anything remarkable either. Wow, the current digital media landscape is addictive, and addictive things are bad. What an incredible observation, never heard that one before.

No, I’m not trolling. Why would I believe this person to know what they’re talking about in a subject I don’t understand well, when I know they’re wrong about a subject I do understand well? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gell-Mann_amnesia_effect

I’ve heard the name before but I’m not super tuned into this area. The analogy just really struck out for me in the first two paragraphs, monumentally so. If he writes with this amount of conviction about something he clearly has no idea about, I’m not likely to trust anything else that he writes in the same article. It’s important to know your limitations.

I read the first paragraph of this article and I already think it sucks. If heroin was fully legalized, zero restrictions, we’d be much better off than the current situation we have right now with the war on drugs, fentanyl analogs, and xylazine. Full stop.
