To expand on this, when smoking thc, it will hit immediately, peak within minutes, and last generally about an hour or two. When consuming thc, it will start to kick in between 15-45mins later, peaking in intensity at 1.5-2.5 hours, staying there for about 2 hours, and will still be effective for up to 6 hours after consumption. If you take more within the ramp up period (between 1-3 hours) and end up taking too much, you could be very high for the next 3-4 hours.

It’s not, though. People from LA will say the exact opposite.

- Comment on Kerbal Space Program spiritual successor Kitten Space Agency now has a Linux version 3 days ago:
Having watched Scott Manley talking about the two. One, Kitten isn’t fully out yet, it’s mostly a tech demo right now. Two, Kitten is built on a 64 bit engine, so it can actually accurately stimulate a solar system (a LOT of the “Kraken” physics in KSP was due to the 32 bit engine). As far as I know they’re trying to make Kitten to be KSP but better. Like a KSP 2

Winning 60% of the rounds, and you still haven’t more money than the player who started with more. Is that not proof of the concept?
Also, yes, this game tickles in a good way.
- Comment on Extreme wealth inequality is baked in to the system 6 days ago:
No, what?
The premise is “people wouldn’t choose to do certain work unless they were coerced into”. I retorted “I want that work you think I’d have to be coerced into doing”
Manual labor is undervalued, making it “one of the jobs that people have to be coerced into doing”. By stating my desire to do it above “high value, mental labor”, I undercut their assertion that there are jobs that require coercion to get performed. There are people who want to clean, cook, do manual labor, do administrative work, accounting, cleaning up shit, building, basically everything a society needs to exist. Coercion need not apply.

Not a fact, an assumption based on an assumption baked into this economic system.
If I could live on the salary, I would prefer a manual labor job.
- Comment on Borrowing money against their stuff to get more stuff to borrow money... 1 week ago:
Taxes in the US are overwhelmingly used for the military and to enrich rich fucks, not to help the poor. Don’t be disingenuous. Rich fucks sitting on assets aren’t “not hurting anyone”. Their assets have real world value, that’s why they’re valued like that. By letting someone sit on them to “allow them to appreciate” is letting someone doing nothing accumulate the wealth gains of society that we all work for. Because those assets appreciate faster than inflation, they create inflation pressure as more asseted people have income to burn that doesn’t reflect actual economic movement. Decreasing the value of money that other people need to use to buy things to live.
No one lives in a vacuum and letting people hoard assets has a negative impact on everyone else. So yes, wealth redistribution is a net positive not because “it punishes rich people” but because it allows our money to better reflect who actually produces the value in society. The workers who do the labor of running everything, rather than rich fucks who normally reap all the monetary benefit of that with almost no actual contribution to the effort it required.
If everyone became a laborer with proper compensation, society would thrive. If everyone became an asset hoarder, society would break apart as there would be no one to operate the machinery of society. Increased wealth inequality pushes us towards the second scenario(asset ownership is rewarded over value producing behaviors, pushing individuals towards more asset accumulation in order to not be left behind, increasing the price of those assets, devaluing other ways of earning money, creating more pressure to own assets), reducing wealth inequality pushes us towards the first.

There is evidence that when you make an llm explain why it did something that it’s less likely to just make things up, but like all it does it make things up in a verifiable way, in that case. It’s a plagiarism machine, not a thinking machine.

Agreed. But I’m not going to publicly endorse a dead-end DNC loser before it’s necessary. The DNC needs to act like people aren’t required to vote for them and field a candidate that can actually win votes.
- Comment on Borrowing money against their stuff to get more stuff to borrow money... 1 week ago:
Accepting your premise as true, that still doesn’t make the tax valueless. The real value in a wealth tax is breaking up the money from individuals, the revenue is just a bonus. Even if it is all used to pay the accountants, that’s still money that’s now actually moving through the economy rather than zombie wealth sitting in some rich fuck’s paws, doing nothing but contribute to inflation.

Ah! I see it. That’s, umm, old news. The population has made significant gains since hunting was banned in the 60s. That, plus the banning of DDT, brought the 417 nesting pairs in 1963 to >71,000 pairs today.
