- Comment on WTF why my filament exploded? 8 hours ago:
How quick is quick? I have a heated dry box, so all new filament gets at least a 24 hour spa treatment. If I know it’s wet, it lives in it until color indicating silica gel no longer changes, then another day for good measure.

Apparently the developer did this all on their phone. I can’t even imagine.

- Comment on Project to suck carbon out of sea begins in UK 1 week ago:
The water just dilutes back into the rest of the ocean, lowering its average carbon content a minuscule amount. It’ll take a year or less for it to reabsorb as much atmospheric CO2 as was removed. This isn’t a big deal unless it’s done at massive scale in concentrated areas.
An “easy” way to handle this is to return the water to the deep ocean, where it’s less impactful to ocean life and has a much larger area in which to dilute.
- Comment on Project to suck carbon out of sea begins in UK 1 week ago:
It’s gasuous CO2. The process pulls in water, acidifies it to release CO2 to air in a sealed space, pumps that water to the next phase which adjusts the pH back up to normal, then the CO2 poor water is pumped back into the ocean.
Meanwhile, the CO2 in the previously mentioned sealed space is concentrated up to about 98%, but it’s still a gas. While this may or may not be a more efficient extraction system, it still has the same issue all extraction systems face: what to do with the extracted gas.
- Comment on My brain fog makes me feel so stupid that I'm seriously considering trying speed 1 week ago:
I’m not going to lie: it’s a pain in the ass to diagnose and treat because it manifests differently between people. Even the lab tests aren’t reliable. I was diagnosed due to the fact the treatments (antihistamines and mast cell stabilizers) improved my CFS, EDS, brain fog, dysautonomia, “fun” GI issues, and anaphylactoid episodes.
My issues are certain foods and stress. If I consume too much alcohol, wheat or sugar, if I stop eating dairy then start again, and/or I experience extended bouts of intense physical and/or psychological stress, my EDS pain increases, blood flow to my extremities decreases (cold hands and feet like crazy), my GI tract goes haywire, I feel cold constantly even when I’m truly hot, I’ll develop rashes and eczema, and I’ll start experiencing CFS and random bouts of brain fog. If it goes on long enough or intensely for a short time (e.g., I eat an entire cake), I’ll have anaphylactoid episodes - not full anaphylaxis, but a lesser version that feels like a random, intense panic attack with no trigger. I was actually “diagnosed” with a panic disorder early on. Xanax just made me feel calmer while my body kept freaking out.
I first was clued into it because I noticed my symptoms were better when I took cetirizine, an antihistamine, and intensified when I stopped. My doctor had me try cromolyn sodium and, a few weeks later, my GI symptoms had vastly improved and the remaining symptoms were better. We’ve since tacked on a few more meds and I underwent a lot of therapy to get my stress levels down. Now I’m stable, where before I could barely function at work or at home.
- Comment on My brain fog makes me feel so stupid that I'm seriously considering trying speed 2 weeks ago:
Have you looked into mast cell activation disorder/syndrome (MCAD/MCAS) at all? I also have EDS (hypermobile type, hEDS) plus MCAS, which is a common comorbidity. I don’t have POTS, luckily. Tackling MCAS issues was what got rid of my brain fog and vastly improved my EDS issues. I’m actually reversing my joint hypermobility. It’s wild.
I’m full of info if you have any questions. Us chronic pain, incurable types gotta stick together.

Assuming you have a tenancy board. In the United States, many locations do not.
- Comment on I had no idea y cunt was this powerful 2 weeks ago:
It’s true. I used to be a red blooded, conservative American, but that all changed when I showed up as a counter protestor at a Tesla dealership. A woman launched herself at my face, pussy first. I ingested some of her pussy juice and got estrogenized. Now I read books for pleasure, treat women like equals, and became a vegetarian.

My partner just did the SAME operation on our Shork vacuum cleaner due to steadily declining performance. The ultimate diagnosis is the brush head has lost its brushes. They don’t sell a replacement, but they do sell an entire power head replacement for $99. Fuck these guys, we’ll never buy a Shark again.

So you misread my comment but you’re one of those types who can’t admit when they’re wrong. I’d say it’s our little secret but I see someone else pointed it out too.

So then you’re in favor of these government backdoors? Because your comment suggests the opposite.

As an American, I can vouch for this.
- Comment on France is about to pass the worst surveillance law in the EU. 1 month ago:
Continuing the analogy, government agencies can absolutely eavesdrop on in-person conversations unless you expend significant resources to prevent it. This is exactly what I believe will happen - organized crime will develop alternate methods the government can’t access while these backdoors are used to monitor less advanced criminals and normal people.
