Communism is from each according to their ability, to each according to their want.
I thought it was “From each according to their ability, to each according to their need”?
Wants and needs are often conflated but the outcomes of each phase would likely look incredibly different.
I’m honestly surprised no-one has built an extension to automatically opt out of them, or at least the major cookie providers interfaces.
I realise there are many extensions which outright block cookies, etc; I’m meaning specifically the annoying dialogues you describe
The ginger bug is probably what affected it here, my wonderful neighbour has given me a few homemade bottles of ginger beer before, and one’s exploded in the fridge, the other had enough pressure build to blow the lid off when opening from a remaining 2 inches of dregs.
Apparently, there’s just something about ginger fermentation that really builds pressure
Out of curiosity, have you come up with a reason why it tasted so tree like?
What colour did the mead end up being?
Idk how true that is, it’ll be highly dependent on what you’re trying to dissolve.
This sounds to me more like the advice I’ve heard for using isopropyl for sterilizing equipment and surfaces, its more to do with how quickly the pure stuff evaporates. Evaporate too quickly and it doesn’t sterilize, whereas 70% is best of both worlds.
I don’t know but the blueballs does seem like a viable idea to work from.
It could’ve been worse, all she left you with was Blueberries…
Tender Blueberries from fertile ground, had their spirits raised but were ultimately crushed to bring you this beverage. Best served with an ice pack applied.
Did you read the description of the book the guy linked?
This is an objective biographical study of Crowley written by someone who lived and worked intimately with him. Dr. Regardie observed “The Great Beast” at close quarters while serving as his personal secretary. The Eye in the Triangle was written many years later, after long contemplation. Regardie combines the psychological insight afforded by his professional training as a Reichian analyst with his grasp of Crowley’s magical personality.
It’s likely that the passage wasn’t written by Crowley himself, so a source like the one linked may be useful.
Also Libgen if you’d rather download the book and ctrl+f the passage you’re looking for
I kind of agree with other person who said it’s basically just antidepressants… though I’ve shyed away from the one that made me deeply content (yet somewhat dysfunctional) in exchange for one that leaves me more functional in exchange for a bit more (healthy) strife.
I’d be quite curious of a world where everyone is on universally functioning antidepressants.
Is this society a functioning dystopia or a dysfunctional utopia?
Also OP have you ever played the video game ‘We Happy Few’, a key feature of the world is that everyone takes a mild psychedelic called Joy to stop them from remembering the past.
Another story that I seem to recall using a similar plot point is Brave New World and their drug Soma (IIRC)
Seeing that you mentioned MS365 imma just have my mini vent here, my mum is over 60 and her work has just started using MS365, so far run into a bunch of minor frustrations, but two big ones that she wasn’t able to figure out herself, and damn near stumped me:
First was trying to create an email group, so it’s easier for her to mass email her different classes, go to create the group, realise there’s a bunch of other junk like chats and shared files as part of the group thing which isn’t needed (and can’t be used by non ms emails anyway, over half of them) but whatever, get most of the way through it then realise that two people aren’t included in any group… ok that’s odd, just says they can’t be added to the group, turns out that they’ve likely had some permission set regarding not being able to be added to groups.
45 minutes in at this point and they cannot be added at all, decide to go back and manage to find the option to create a bog standard email group (list?) hidden away under a drop-down menu, this is what I wanted to and thought I was making in the first place, then realise I cannot import or move over the already existing groups to the simpler email lists, so have to start again…
Finally get all of that done and my mum starts to send her zoom links out except nothing is hyperlinking automatically, try to search links, hyper links, linking, etc via the help and nothing of relevance comes up, turns out outlook Web doesn’t support that, only the desktop app does but nothing mentions that. Manage to track down some random forum post that states that automatic linking only works if the email is set to plaintext format, not html…
Absolutely ridiculous
It can get up to 4 weeks, though my experience is closer to 4 days to a couple of weeks, I think it depends heavily on what apps you’re using, how much you’re moving about and how much stuff you’re installing
Personally this has been the most feature rich/open source one I could find, and it’s what I ended up going for, there’s an opensource app store, direct integration with gadgetbridge, a decent always on display much like the amazfit bip S, which also means a long battery life.
Unrelated beyond the Tories being retarded with banning things for no real reason: I’ve just discovered that they’ve effectively banned the sale of sodium hydroxide (drain cleaner) and potassium hydroxide (used to make soap), before I could buy them on eBay or get the sodium hydroxide at any super market, but now I have to go via a chemical supply company, taking literal weeks, and paying £7 for 100g of sodium hydroxide, where I used to be able to get 500g for £2.
They’re scum for an endless list of things but this has really annoyed me.
Tbf, there are other infrastructure that aren’t the literal wells of oil, take refineries for example, they are central to the operation, are harder to replace than a bit of pipeline, typically the end point for many pipelines.
Though all of these factors make them much more likely to be targets and to also have much greater security. Still functionally even if you manage to take one down it won’t make a difference in the grand scheme of things.
Add on that most refineries are likely designed with fire breaks/fire suppression systems nowadays so it probably won’t even have an knock on effect
Tbh the advice provided is already pretty accurate, as to how; there’s a non zero chance that a friend may have sent you a RAT (remote admin tool/remote access Trojan), these are basically the best back door to someone’s computer you can have, normally you want to have physical access to someone’s computer to install them or have a user run it with elevated privileges, (there are other ways as well, such as spoofing a jpg, other methods of remote code execution). These tools will allow you to access there computer, files, keylog, steal passwords, send popups, open and close the disk tray plus basically anything else you could do with access to the computer.
Basically follow other people’s advice in regards to undoing this.
Or using any legacy hardware such as the playstation eyetoy camera, a usb keyboard with a built in piano keyboard, some old random TV tuner card
Then there’s the hardware which windows only ever had 32bit drivers for, meaning even if you find the drivers on some obscure dodgy site they’ll never work.
Then there’s the whole bs of windows not allowing unsigned drivers.
None of these issues on Linux
I’m sure you know this, but that’s exactly how a town got turned in to a EPA superfund site due to Dioxin contamination, because of a fuck up over chain of command for waste oil from the creation of napalm or pesticides(IIRC?). The guy running the spraying business didn’t know, which I can believe, but the company that paid for him to dispose of it should’ve informed him.
It will change the screen quality slightly, though I like to think of it as free anti-aliasing
Though here you go friend, I used their steamdeck protector, though I’ve linked the switch one
You can get matte plastic ones for less than £10 for two
Pro tip, if the joints on them are starting to not hold together of their own accord and you don’t want them to fall apart: use zip ties on the edges/corners to reinforce them.
My mum’s a child psychotherapist, from her perspective medication aught not to be the first thing people jump at, but it very much has it’s place; an example being children with ADHD who literally cannot sit down to the point of them getting distressed, actually being able to sit down and engage with therapy after starting medication. Similar things with anxiety and depression, if anxiety holds you back from opening up and personal thoughts and feelings then medication can enable that for therapeutic work to begin.
The bigger issue she has is when people (often parents) only want the medication but don’t want to try and engage with the therapy.
Just something to think about
