How do you do fellow termites?

Glad you had a good trip! I accidentally did a heroic dose of acid back in 2016 and I have been leery of psychedelics ever since (though I have done shrooms and a few other research chemicals since then). I had 2x 130µG tabs of acid in my sock drawer for ~18 months that I didn’t store in the freezer or anything, so I figured their potency had diminished and decided to take both. Big mistake. :)

A heroes dose/heroic dose just refers to doing a very high dosage of a psychedelic substance like shrooms.

I’ve always heard a good normal dose is an eighth. According to that article linked above, a heroes dose is 5 grams, or an extra 1.5 grams beyond that.

I just finally replaced my 1080 Ti with a 5070 Ti ~a month ago so I could play Doom:TDA since it requires ray-tracing. I didn’t feel like my fps was suffering with the 1080 Ti at 1440p, but I doubled my fps in several games and it is pretty awesome.

I moved to db0

Charlie Kirk is a diversity hire because Turning Point USA needed someone with a tiny face and an otherwise normal head

Even with it being federated I don’t see how Lemmy could be immune to astroturfing. I’m sure there’s some already going on. Lemmy just isn’t yet popular enough to be a major target. Instances can defederate from one another but it’s trivial to create a new account on a different instance and resume turfing. I suppose the openness of Lemmy’s logs, when compared to the closed-source centralized nature of reddit, could help suss out turfers though.

I only recently learned about the Dumbo Octopus and I think it is adorable!

Yeah in addition to the BDS argument, Coca Cola is the worst plastics polluter in the world:

Same, I wish this was ported to kde. Such a useful feature

Congrats! I feel similarly about DS3. Certain fights like Nameless King, Sister Friede, and Gael are some of the best in the entire series IMO, but the linear, grey/bleak levels drag on after a while and then you end the game with the meh Soul of Cinder. Plus that game is where the modern fast roll spam twitchy gameplay originated.

There is a Starbucks just like this to this day in a suburb where I worked until just recently. Every morning at 8 AM they have a drive-thru line backed up out into the surrounding streets.

And I thought waking up after dreaming through a full work day and then having to do it all over again way bad enough

I’m a big fan of Humble Mechanic (pictured) content. He doesn’t strike me as someone who is unsympathetic to LGBTQIA+ matters, though his content never touches on anything like that so I’m just guessing

This isn’t the article I read but it has tons of info about this:

I read somewhere recently that AI data center open loop water cooling systems drain 100 million liters of freshwater a day and evaporate it away.

It means Mace unalived him

I find frozen grapes similarly satisfying
