I gotta back them up. I’ve only been to a handful of Buc-ee’s, but every one had multiple signs saying no semis. Maybe it’s a regional thing?

Correct, but we also have a disproportionate effect on the rest of nature.
Like yes, cancer is human cells, but that doesn’t diminish the damage they do to the rest of the human cells.

- Comment on The Sensory Biology of Plants 2 weeks ago:
Panpsychism seems logically more possible than the alternative. If consciousness is an emergent property of complex systems, the universe is probably conscious because it’s the most complex system there is.
- Comment on The Sensory Biology of Plants 2 weeks ago:
Sure, how do you detect conscious effort from outside?
- Comment on The Sensory Biology of Plants 2 weeks ago:
I’m inclined to believe every dynamic interconnected system is “conscious” to some degree. Not 1:1 with human consciousness obviously, but the same base phenomenon.
The main problem is that there aren’t very good metrics to distinguish how primitive a consciousness is. Where do you draw the line between consciousness and reflex? Is each of your cells conscious in its own impossibly tiny way?
- Comment on Looks Like We Can Finally Kiss the Metaverse Goodbye 2 weeks ago:
Not them, but I think I’ve got a bead on it, assuming you treat it as a general concept and not a trademark:
It’s basically the Platonic ideal of a game lobby. Kinda like what Miiverse was supposed to be, or Ready Player One. They were both after my time but I think maybe kinda like Club Penguin or Roblox? Like an overworld with a custom avatar that you can socialize in and sync into other apps or games together.
It does seem basically inevitable, fast forward gaming 10 years and I’d be surprised if something like that wasn’t the norm.

- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 3 weeks ago:
I will come back to it eventually, when the time is right.
It’s not important enough to bookmark, it’s not urgent enough to get to right now, but it’s too interesting to ignore entirely. When the time is right for a tab, I will return to it. Sometimes I scroll through them to jog my memory. Sometimes I’ll decide it wasn’t as interesting as I thought and delete it.

- Comment on When they get the bill too 4 weeks ago:
A man, obsessed with trains, finally sneaks into the engine one day. He’s having the time of his life for a few minutes before he screws up a switch and derails the train, killing dozens of people.
His trial is quick, and he is sentenced to death. The day arrives, and for his last meal he requests a single banana. He eats it, he’s strapped into the electric chair, and when they pull the switch… nothing.
They delay the sentence for a day, to examine the chair for defects. They tighten all the connections, check the wires, and test to make sure it’s working.
The next day, for his real last meal, he again requests a single banana. He eats, they strap him in and pull the switch. Again, nothing.
They delay one more day to tear the chair down to every component, test everything, reassemble, test again. They’re confident that the chair is working properly.
Next day, he asks again for one banana. “Oh no no,” the warden says “I didn’t know how you’re doing it, but you’re not getting another banana”. They serve him roast beef and potatoes, with apple pie for dessert. They strap him in, pull the switch and… nothing.
The bananas had nothing to do with it, turns out he was just a bad conductor.
