That’s why you branch out

Wtf, something like that really happened: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/tamir-rice-shooting-family-sued-over-unpaid-ambulance-bill-of-son-shot-dead-by-cleveland-police-a6866896.html

Big “Oh shit, the mummy’s after us, let’s all walk a little faster” energy

By their own volition? Unlikely, I think…

My French lessons were from Téléfrançais. I can still count to three :}

I just did a quick search, and found this:

Concurrent use of stimulants with antidepressants is a high-risk behavior and is medically contraindicated due to potential cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) enzyme inhibition and a resulting increase in serotonin levels.

So it was the common culprits, the P450 enzymes. I’m lucky to have not given myself serotonin syndrome many times.

One could do some photogrammetry and then analyze the 3d mesh. It only requires taking multiple photos from different angles. Might even be able to get something going from online photos, provided you match the time of day for the entire set…

Oh shit, I’m 95% sure I saw one of these in the early 80s and have been wondering what it was ever since…

Ah, the fun of copying the Mandelbrot code from the book, running the program, and waiting only 16 hours for the image to finish. Fun times!

At least they provided this tidbit:

Engineers also discovered, as they plowed past the first 14,800 feet (4,511 meters), that the rock had much more porosity and permeability. That, paired with the extremely high temperatures, made the rock behave more like a plastic than a solid, rendering drilling virtually impossible.

Plastic Earth confirmed.

Just going to point out that alcohol is literally a poison people drink to make them feel good.

It starts that way, but quickly turns on you. Pretty soon you’re pissed at everything for no good reason, you’re tired but have enough energy for angry outbursts, and your world just shrinks and shrinks along with your brain. Horrible drug. Maybe some people can handle having a drink regularly, but I sure can’t ':S

Anyway yeah, getting caught up in politics can be similar.

On a related note, I suspect there would’ve been more protests and revolution attempts than we’ve heard about, had the state not already held a monopoly on surveillance, psychology and violence. It’s a trivial matter for an entity possessing all three of those things to break up an emerging protest or revolution that threatens its power.
