I mean yeah they are RGBWW if you put it like that but wouldn’t RGB already include different temps of white? So all of my bulbs are Hue, and yes, they were somewhat of an investment even though my apt is not that huge. Like 300e total years ago though, for uhmm the basic 250e colour set, 5 e36 bulbs hub and remote, and then later I also bought two e14s.
But the LED panel I have is actually a 300w growlight. I couldn’t put it on full I’d burn my eyes. But it serves very well as light therapy on the mildest setting. It’s not got any adjustments except a dimmer though.
- Comment on lightbulbs 1 day ago:
Or go full high-tech and install lights with adjustable color temperature.
I may be ahead of the curve a bit. Adjustable colour temp didn’t seem enough. My whole apartment has RGB bulbs since about 5-6 years ago. I just couldn’t go back to on/off one shade lights ugh.
Also I rock a 300w LED panel to get a bit more brightness in my winter days, but that’s not RGB though.

I think the chain should be the length of half the width of your opponents shield, or thereabouts. That’s just me guessing and I’m no nerd about medieval warfare.
Flails are apparently kinda shit but prolly work against shields.

I mean theres no objectivity to the way we describe the universe anyway
You’re going all in the self-delusing. If there’s no objectivity, then how come we can launch shit to other planets? Why does that tech work?
A meter is more less a yard. Ever heard the term “yard-stick”? Ofc you have, and you know what it means, but you’ll pretend not to.
I’ll tell you that I’m klorknon gribbits tall and that is not objective, because it’s just some bullshit I just made up. Like the bullshit you keep making up to not have to learn the measuring system the entire rest of the world uses.
Feets and pounds are nowadays objective, as they’re based on metric standards, which have been strictly objectively defined, no matter what sophistry you want to wave around about how no measuring system is arbitrary since you don’t understand it.
A second is exactly 9,192,631,770 periods of radiation corresponding to the transition between two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the cesium-133 atom.
And here’s the dictionary definition for “objective”.
objective
adjective
: expressing or dealing with facts or conditions as perceived without distortion by personal feelings, prejudices, or interpretations
Your “b-b-but it’s a closer to human-scale scale actually much better cause cooking temps and 0 temps don’t matter” is affected by your personal feelings that Fahrenheit is somehow “more human-scale”, whatever the fuck that means.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
That’s the problem; you’re not actually pitching anything. You’re badly rationalising why your personal preference would be objectively better, and labeling it in a pseudointellectual bullshit that doesn’t make any sense.

closer with human-scale temps
So you just never cook anything? Because if you cook, your scale is longer. You have to heat your oven to 350+ degrees, whereas I’m just putting it to 180. So the scale is actually “aligned closer with human-scale temps” whatever your brainfart can be interpreted to mean.
we spend 90% of our lives wandering around in a fairly narrow range of temperatures
You do. You. Just like you think your brainfart is in anyway an improvement instead of just silly rambling without any sense whatsoever.
I have never once cared about the actual temperature of that reaction
Because you don’t live in Peru or the bottom of the sea, so you don’t have to, because you know it’s always pretty much exactly 100 for you.
A person with a stroke could’ve written your comment and it would be none the better.
Not one of your arguments holds any water; Centrigrade is a smaller scale, and a more logical one. Standing naked outside, most people would have a fairly good guess on when it’s near or below 0c. Or as English actually says “freezing.” You couldn’t even tell 0 degrees Fahrenheit. Literally most people in the world have never even experienced such a temperature. I have. I’ve also experienced -40 (where they meet.)
How many days a year do you spend in 0f?
Because in my country being below zero is more common than not. Both C and F, moreso C though, as “it’s closer to a human scale”.
So F is wider, cooking temps are double that of anything in double digits, no-one can even tell where 0f is and 100f is very much not close to the warmest things we handle in our daily lives.
0-100c is quite simple. Over or under, don’t touch with bare skin. (For non cooks stay below 60c though or you’ll burn yourself)
But I don’t need to argue. The works decided long ago.

And I bet that room has its own thermostat, fuel, and doesn’t reach that temperature without human input.
I don’t manage to see your point. If the point is “you can’t live in places which are hotter the average body temp”, then should I point you towards Australasia? Also, in my last apartment, I didn’t have a sauna, but I did have a kitchen that was constantly above 40 and topped out my 52c meter in my kitchen.
considered on a common use scale?
Only an American things measuring things in average horse blood temperature vs when water boils at sealevel is a “common use scale”.
A “common” use scale for you less metrically abled; “fucking freezing”, “freezing”, “cold”, “cool”, “okay”, “a bit warm” “too hot” “fucking scorching”.
The hottest recorded temperature on earth is 56°C
You mean the hottest ambient temperature measured not from direct sunlight. Yeah, maybe. Still a bit more than our body temp, no?
water’s boiling point can vary wildly on Earth.
Yeah, but 100c doesn’t. It’s always the temperature at which pure water boils at sea level.
If I forget to check the altitude I could mistakenly think my boiling teapot is at 100°C instead of 68°C.
Sure yeah, you sound like a guy who might have a problem like that. Luckily for you, kettles don’t actually have thermostats set to 100c. They shut off when the water is boiling, despite the temperature. So people like you have been accounted for, rest assured. Nor will you be needing to make any thermometers either.
quirks of your appliances
So you microwave shit and then think temp doesn’t matter? I don’t really “appliances”. Is a grater an appliance? A manual one? Knives a few pans, ingredients. Thermometer. Perhaps if you’ve actually been doing a dish for 20 years perfectly you can forget about but it but it’s an absolute must for most kitchen professionals; good measuring instruments. A scale and a thermometer, mainly. Don’t really need anything else. Don’t even need that to cook, obviously. But because of the “quirks of your appliance”, you probe your meat, to meet the right temp. Damn I made myself hungry. Well I got some moose in the freezer.
That’s why many recipes give hints on target texture or look (crispy, soft, golden brown…). But yes if you want a very specific
What’s way more important in cooking is actually the measuring than thinking you can just throw it together and wait until it turns whatever the description wants. If you want it good, you’ll measure it to the gram and use the correct temp. Which is a bit above our body temp again, but guess “cooking” isn’t included in “common use scale”?

Humans are endothermic, which means being somewhere hotter than us is Not Good™️.
Endothermic refers to the ability of the organism to regulate it’s temperature, not just the ability to generate heat, but also to cool itself down. We humans are so good at it, that we can literally just jog prey down in hot environments and pretty much all animals will overheat before we do.
Hell, in my apartment there’s a room especially for making it very hot and humid. Even above 100c, and I still don’t boil. Weird, huh?
cooking temps generally don’t require much prevision
Alright. Sure. Yeah. Why not. /s

I mean, as an actual disabled person… By just like, backing up to it?
Well, as an actual disabled person, how many different chairs do you have on a daily basis? Because as a taxi driver driving around disabled people, there’s a lot of different chairs.
I’ve never seen one without a backrest. Do you have one?
Could you back into that with a chair? Ofc.
But if yours has a backrest like all the other chairs, you’ll hit the backrest before with the back of your chair before you’d be in the same line as a person leaning back on other parts of the bench.
Not to even mention that a ton of the people that I know who use chairs have often have a bag or a backpack hanging back there.
I don’t want to be around when they pull into a parking spot and then can’t drive forward out of it…
As a professional driver, I can tell you that if you have to choose a parking place between a space that’s only just and just free (three cars around it, all parked tightly so as to not leave any extra room even close to the line), and one that is completely free, not a single car around it, you choose the latter one.
Can I reverse into the former? Ofc. Even just a few years after I started, when I was still very young, around 20, I made grown (and somewhat drunk) men give a little shriek as they thought I would crash the car when driving in places where they thought a car wouldn’t fit (because people were picked up usually from in front of a bar, and bars can exist in the weirdest places.)
So with that logic in mind, my question is why would you, as a chair user, ever want to back in to this bench, when you could just park next to it, effectively lengthening the bench?
Put 1,000 hotel rooms, but only 5 are made for accessibility? Your store has a wheelchair ramp, all the fuck at the end of the building near the loading docks?
Not a problem in the EU/Finland (idk which the regulations comes from) We got building regulations.
Shit, even paving walkways, in fucking modular concrete squares, suck ass: when (not if) the front wheels get stuck, especially if I’m being pushed, my ass gets launched.
I would’ve been proud if this wasn’t a problem either, but as someone who regularly pushed chairs, I’m so goddamn disappointed in my own city. They remodelled the market square for a parking garage they wanted to build below it. Corruption and capitalism wins and after years and years of talks, more years of building and millions of euros, we got an utterly shit market square made of roughly 40cm x 40cm tiles which won’t stay the fuck down because of the soil. I haven’t had to push a chair through that yet but I dread it for any one who does, be they pushing their own chairs or getting pushed. Hell, I’ve almost fallen down several times and I like to think I have good awareness in general.
It would be bad enough when a completely abled person falls off their feet, seems it would be much more devastating to someone in a chair, let alone if they’re traveling solo. Thankfully it’s literally the busiest place in the city, so at least anyone who gets hurt will get help quickly, but still.
It used to be centuries old paved stone, as stable as, well idk, something really stable. Perhaps a bit bumpy for a chair user, but honestly only a tiny bit, dad used to take lots of his customers in chairs there for coffee. He had his own taxi-van with a chair-lift in the back, that’s how I started as a taxi driver, working for him. And he started because his dad (my grandpa) had the first taxi the town I was born in. My father chose to prominently tape “Gentleman of the Road” in the back of the van. For aura farming when he wouldn’t start accelerating to speeding just because some dick was hurrying him up. He really impresses upon me the need to keep the car stable. But whenever he didn’t have customers in there, just me, it wasn’t as smooth, as he raced on the slippery backroads like the pro he was.
It sucks ass being disabled, but god damn it’s like the dumbest people get assigned to accessibility planning.
I do empathise and honestly while I criticise a ton of things about Finland, infrastructure for disabled access is really one thing I can’t help but be somewhat proud of. Let me see if I have a photo I took perhaps last year. It might be my previous phone and then it’s lost. (Actually binned my old phone by accident, a top of the line flagship phone that only had the sim-reader faulty gooooooooodammit I still blame myself so much for that fuckup.)
Oh I do have the photos, yeah.
This is an outhouse for disabled people, along a nature path of which roughly 60-70% is available with a chair. The route goes around a small lake and while it is regrettable the whole path isn’t available, I think even a majority of it being available is a win. Half of it is this well maintained gravel footpath that you can sort of see the material there, but around a third or so is really craggy forest on the beach on the other side and I’d argue the amount of nature you’d have to completely get rid off to pave that part as well, the places designation as a “nature trail” would really lose something. Mainly the view from the main side of the lake, which would affect disabled people as well.

And how exactly would one even back a wheelchair into that? Wheelchairs have backrests already, so you’d just hit the backrest of this bench before being on the same line as the other people sitting on it.

I mean, that’s a very sweeping generalisation, which sort of ignores reality.

And the end up under the knee of some psycho powertripper, repeating “I can’t breathe” for minutes before finally succumbing to death.

The reason we’ve evolved to tune out whatever taste water may have, is because we need to be able to detect when there’s shit in it. Literally. But also anything else non-suitable.
Which is why waters taste slightly different as we never drink distilled water really. Not that it’s somehow toxic, but drinking only distilled water when there’s no food and then sweating a lot would dehydrate you eventually.

It’s cheaper per dose, not per kg.
You only need micrograms to have a good time whereas with amphetamines it’s decigrams.
And even if the motivation was in place, again, it’d be harder to pass of meth as lsd than it would be to pass milky chocolate as water.
They’d just have some buzz and a somewhat psychedelic effect from whatever they were sold. I’m not convinced you yourself got real lsd, if you think it’s cheaper than other drugs.
I’ve done literally every single drug you can even imagine. You just clearly have no experience if you think anyone even slightly experienced could be fooled to take meth as lsd.
I’m not exaggerating with “it’d be harder to pass hot chocolate as water”.
Do you seriously have trouble with the concept of why mixing flour into coke is beneficial for the dealer’s bottom line?
That’s not adulteration, you donkey. That’s the dealer ensuring noobs like you don’t kill themselves while also increasing their profits. And if you put flour in your meth and sold it, you’d have less fingers in a week. What you use is much better and less noticeable substances. I know which ones, I’ve done it. It’s about adding non-psychoactive, non-harmful substances, so your users don’t notice nor get sick so they actually come back.
Although kids like you, when you cut shit, even if you didn’t use flour but what we actually use, you’d cut it too much and get caught because you have no understanding of what you’re on about.

Unless youre getting some stone hard soap bar from the Russians, yeah, you can actually taste if there is or isn’t something added to your weed. Just like you would if I dipped your cigarette in petrol and let it dry out before you smoked it. It would be painfully obvious it’s adulterated.
And again, for what reason? What is the motivation of adulterating drugs?
Afaik various random amphetamines are most often sold as molly and especially lsd
Why would you sell someone amphetamines as lsd? First off, LSD is cheaper, by a lot. Secondly, you use them in completely different ways and one is stinky af and the other is completely tasteless. It’d be like trying to pass off coffee as hot chocolate. Do the drinks have some vague similarity and a person who doesn’t know what either means could be mistaken.
But anyone who’s ever had a cup of coffee wouldn’t.
especially lsd, which latter is reportedly completely impossible to find for real in the parts of the world where I am, except maybe for a thousand bucks a tab.
Well sounds like you’re in, idk, some Asian country with extremely harsh drug laws? Even so, you could order it by post for 20 dollars a tab. You’d have to pay in crypto and there’s not a guarantee it makes it there, but just because you don’t know any sellers doesn’t mean it’s not there’s. You just don’t have the connections.

Completely depends on where you’re from and who you’re buying from, but not that I’ve ever seen.
“lacing” drugs as a concept is about as reasonable as reefer madness.
What on Earth would be the point of poisoning your customers?
It’s not like MDMA is that hard to synthesise that there’s some sort of evil cabal of drug manufacturers who just all decide to poison a supply.
Stop listening to propaganda. But also, be mindful of what you’re doing. That’s why testing points are quite common in more progressive countries.
Because while “lacing drugs” is completely idiotic, selling for instance carfentanyl as MDMA is something that could very well happen.
- Comment on The only science fiction in 1984 by Orwell is that there is a drug that could make you "Happy" 4 weeks ago:
Yeah and that’s not even a joke.
I’m gonna use more pretentious words just to reiterate the values of this succinct and correct comment.
Serotonergic drugs, also sometimes known as empathogens or entactogens (enhancing empathy and tactile sensation) have been shown to honestly be able to take care of depression terminally ill people have, for up to months, with a single dose.
Ofc there should be therapists as well, it’s not as simple as giving someone unfamiliar drugs telling them to eat them and that’s it. No for the terminally ill for instance you’d want a therapist there to help work out the experience of the session.
But for anyone somewhat healthy and young and looking to experience something like that, just go to a rave. Can’t tell you which though, as stimulants also have the people who use dopaminergic drugs and those don’t exactly make one happy.
Or just read up on what mdma is how to use it safely and look up some artist you like from the EDM scene (so that itd be higher chances of other people rolling as well) and go.
Genuinely the happiest nights of my life some of them. Some not as much, went a bit beyond therapy. Lol.
