That seems right. The lethal dose of caffeine is 100mg per kilogram of bodyweight.

I’m pretty sure 36 cans of Red Bull would kill you. Humans can’t handle that much caffeine.

This is a somewhat similar situation to one of my last jobs.
I was long overdue a department transfer. I requested it during a performance review. My boss told me he needed me in my current department, but would keep me in mind if an opportunity came up.
He pulled me into a meeting and told me he was going to transfer me to my desired department.
It was taking a while, so I kept asking. My boss kept giving me the same answer: “I’m still getting things ready”.
9 months went by before I finally got moved. This department tranfer nonsense was the tip of the iceberg of my boss’ BS. I was so frustrated that 1 week later, I handed in my two weeks notice.

Yes. There was a scientific conference held on Epstein’s island in 2006. Hawking was one of the scientists who attended. There is no evidence thag Hawking even knew what was going on regarding the sex trafficking.
- Comment on it's just science 2 weeks ago:
Pretty much, yeah. Chomsky was friends with Epstein, but friendship doesn’t automatically equate to criminality. As far as i’m aware, there is currently no evidence against him.
It might seem unfair, but that’s how the law works.

You’re probably right. A story is more important than facts to them.
- Comment on it's just science 2 weeks ago:
That’s pure speculation. Your argument what is referred to as “guilt by association”. Your argument has no basis. It wouldn’t hold up in court.
- Comment on it's just science 2 weeks ago:
Maybe in his earlier life. He was married more than once and had three children.
His name does appear in the Epstein files, but he was never actually accused of anything related to Epstein. To say that Hawking was a pedophile is speculation at best.

Does anybody actually believe that Stephen Hawking was involved in the illegal activities?
- Comment on A “QuitGPT” campaign is urging people to cancel their ChatGPT subscriptions— Backlash against ICE is fueling a broader movement against AI companies’ ties to President Trump. 2 weeks ago:
Probably because it challenges the narrative of people who automatically hate all AI no matter what. I have even had colleagues argue with me that certain types of AI “aren’t actually AI” because they have too much pride and ego to admit they use the very thing they claim to hate.

I personally use AI to help me with my work. I used to work in an IT repair facility where I would use an LLM to help me troubleshoot problems. For example if a computer won’t turn on and the motherboard is flashing and beeping, asking an LLM is 10x faster than having to use the internet to hunt for a user manual of one specific model of computer from 40 years ago, made by a brand which no longer exists.
Now I work in Computer Games Development after getting my degree. AI is extremely useful for helping me come up with ideas, making prototypes, and even generating small amounts of code in C++ and C#, which is what I mainly use. Games Dev isn’t difficult. I can do it myself. But it can be very tedious. That’s why AI is so helpful.
As for what your little brother does, i’ve experienced that. People generating code and having no idea what it does. It might help you pass your subjects in school, but it’s only gonna screw you over in the long run.
I don’t mind people using AI to help them with their work as long as they don’t depend on it.

Yes. My mistake. What I meant to say is that I didn’t realize you needed something to host the site on. I tried to send my friend the file and expected them to open it…from my computer.
I was a bit of a noob back in the day.

This was me in high school. In my first Intro to Computer Science class, they taught me how to make a website in html.
Nobody told me that you need a domain. Guess how I found out.

I’ve been a long time user and subscriber of ChatGPT plus. It has helped me tremendously and I probably wouldn’t be where I am without it.
I canceled mt subscription recently. I won’t continue to give money to ClosedAI. There are alternatives.

- Comment on Retro StarCraft prizes 2 weeks ago:
Exactly my point. People treat it like an investment for precisely that reason. But that wasn’t why it was created in the first place. Appreciating in value is a side-effect, not the main feature.
- Comment on Retro StarCraft prizes 2 weeks ago:
Bitcoin isn’t an investment though. Or at least, it wasn’t supposed to be.
People treat it like an investment because they don’t understand how it actually works. Then Altcoins became a thing, which are essentially just Bitcoin clones but with extra steps.

That’s what i’ve been saying for years. You don’t need a 30 round AR-15. A manual, 4 - 5 round bolt-action hunting rifle in the right hands can also be used for a mass shooting. Yet they’re completely legal in states like California. The only reason “Assault Rifles” (and I use quotation marks because the name “Assault Rifle” is based on a misconception) are so heavily regulated and labeled as having “evil features” is because they look scary. The AR-15 is a semi-automatic rifle, NOT full auto. Functionally, it’s no different to a hunting rifle. Yet the media never shuts up about that one specific model of rifle.
Looks Scary ≠ Lethality. I wish people would realize that.
Criminals don’t follow the rules anyway, so you can put as many restrictions on guns as you want for all the difference it will make. At least here in the U.S.
Unfortunately some people struggle to grasp that concept.
- Comment on But bro please 3 weeks ago:
I’m assuming from the way your comment is worded that you’re not from the U.S.
Blue states tend to have much stricter gun laws, as another user pointed out. For example, in California, “Assault Rifles” are banned. You most certainly cannot walk into a supermarket and buy an AR-15. As far as i’m aware, most major retailers including Walmart don’t sell guns at all in California. Even handguns have a maximum magazine capacity. No more than 10 rounds. Much less than your standard Glock or Sig Sauer.
I’d also like to point out that “Buying a gun in the local supermarket” is a little bit of a misconception. It’s true that some superstores sell guns, but they aren’t right next to the milk and bread. They’re in locked cabinets in a specific part of the store where you’ll also find other hunting equipment. The whole point of a superstore/supermarket is that they sell everything in one place as opposed to the pre-supermarket days where you had to go to multiple different stores just to get your weekly shopping supplies.

I agree with you. The issue is that the people who have been fighting to keep the second amendment are the ones who are siding with and enabling the government. The pro-second amendment people are the ones who voted for Trump in the first place.

Use Proton Mail. You have to pay a monthly subscription to Proton Unlimited, but you’ll be able to set a custom domain. Proton is one of the best email providers right now. It’s end-to-end encrypted, and it’s based in Switzerland so privacy is almost guaranteed.

Yeah. Before OneUI 8, you could set up a custom ROM on a Samsung phone too. Short of that you can disable google services. Use non google apps from F-Droid or Aurora Store. You can also use ADB to uninstall system-level APKs. Though the only way that I know of to fully de-google is to install a different OS.

Not all android spies on you. Have you ever tried GrapheneOS? It’s very secure and pro-privacy. Technically it’s not android (if you really want to nitpick), but you need a Google Pixel to run it.
