Jk, good for her. I don't envy her life at all though, meandering about the university grounds drunk or stoned with friends was some of the best nights of my life.
Could be. If 17 year old me had chosen my life trajectory I'd be having a bad time. Hopefully she has better advisors and plans that don't have her chasing achievements as a way of life. Or an insatiable infatuation with chasing achievements. That can be a way of life too, just not one I'd want.
It's cool. We'll stimulate the economy once we are 65 and out of debt. Surely nothing ill will occur by forcing an entire generation to send all of their expendable income to money lenders.
The Justice Department has determined that Boeing violated a settlement that allowed the company to avoid criminal prosecution after two deadly crashes involving its 737 Max aircraft, prosecutors told a federal judge on Tuesday. ...
Here at Boeing, we only kill a statistically acceptable number of humans to avoid affecting the stock price. Fly Boeing today. We did a good job forty years ago so trust us today!
After all, there are tons of them and only a few of us right. Not like being a billionaire is a mental illness rooted in hoarding or anything like that. They're totally stable and normal. Just look at all of the vocal billionaires in the world, they are always saying sensible and relatable things.

I'm trying to use it as a water pump for my aquarium. I'm using a 6V 4.5AH battery with a DC step up convertor to power the pump. After about 5 minutes it gets really hot. Is this expected?
What does your datasheet say the operating temperature is?
How does "really hot" compare to the operating temperature?
What is the current draw?
How much power does that current draw produce compared to the expected rated operational power.
What is the operating RPM?
What is the datasheet's operational RPM range?
I don't know the answer to your question, but these are the type of questions I'd ask when I'm trying to understand if some component's behavior is anomalous or operational.
If you are in a pinch you can wing it with the datasheet of a similar component by a reputable manufacturer. Just know that you can't quite trust the sheet but it should give you an idea of how a sane pump should operate. Like if a similar manufacturer makes a pump with an expected operating temp of 80C and yours is 150C, probably don't need the exact data sheet to know that may be a problem.
So find all the 12Vdc water pump datasheets for pumps of similar form factor to yours and cross reference them to get an idea of common values. This will give you an idea of if your pump is behaving.
All you care about is temperature so should be easy enough to work out from 3-6+ datasheets. However many you are able to find.
A part number would be really helpful at this point, but isn't strictly necessary. PN is usually where I start when I can.
I thought the stone tools idea was conveyed by the assistant holding a toolbox containing only mishapen stones. Is there something about the wordplay of the phrase I am missing?
Jewish students want to stop being reminded that the Jewish state is carrying out one of the world's genocides. Though no sane person is accusing the general populace of Jewish people of being involved in any way, a Jewish state is currently eliminating a population. Calling for the safety of Palestinians represents an existential threat where for once, for some reason, massive segments of public opinion care that muslims are being exploded.
And now some fake interviews that I made up, we reached out and heard from Jewish students.
"I just don't like how they keep mentioning the exploded and maimed children," one Jewish student said. "When I am home in Israel they play ice cream truck music over the totally-not-a-war footage and censor the video with smiling face emojis."
.
"The few Palestinian students keep saying their family is dying to Israel's bombs. That makes me sad, I don't like to feel sad. Am I in the Holocaust?" said another Jewish student when interviewed getting into his Porsche.
.
"I am very against the continued bombing campa...", sorry Tom technical difficulties with that interview, that Jewish student was clearly an insane terrorist.

I don't get it. Well I do. But I've yet to have a satisfactory conservative response to the following :
Intersex people exist. That is, at least 1 out of every 1,750 babies are born with both sexual organs. Therefore by their existence we know that there is a blurred line between genders and those people exist there. Even if I go along with them that transgender behavior is a mental illness (it's not, this is just a thought experiment), what exactly do they propose we do about intersex individuals who are literally neither male nor female?
1 out of 1,750 would put the intersex population in the United States at approximately 194,000 individuals. For reference, that would be about 10% of the population of Nebraska or Idaho. That's how many people I am discussing and who seem to always be left out of the conversation.
That seems so cruel, I don't get it at all. Sorry you triggered another rant, I'm not shouting at you I'm just shouting, lol.
Using conservative logic, should the babies, made by God, not be left as He made them?
It also seems cruel to mutilate a child born between genders before they have the opportunity to come of age and know who they are. I've heard multiple accounts of intersex people, who the doctor removed one of their sexual organs then become suicidal when they reach adulthood because they essentially feel like a castrated man, or the female equivalent.
Just imagine you were born and had your sexual organs removed as a baby, how would you feel? Pause and imagine living life castrated. If I invest 3 seconds of thought into that, I conclude, "Nah, best not risk doing that to someone, if I was born that way I'd certainly prefer a choice. Let's let them grow up first."
Does being conservative simply require a lack of imagination about these things? It seems so obvious.
Yeah, that is scary. Chosen by whom? I'd imagine if anyone reading this paused and thought, "If I was that baby, who would I want to make that choice?" I think everyone would pick themselves. Men reading this would wanna pick male and women reading this would wanna pick female.
Anyway it's fun to think about. But I'm done thinking.
The American system of government is the blame game. For example, few people seem to remember that during Obama's 8 years in office he had the government for 10 months.
During the 86 other months Republicans exploited that by simultaneously stonewalling everything while going to the media and questioning why the democrats aren't doing more for the American people. It is a masterfully effective underhanded tactic.
I also agree that everyone should vote. When more people vote, regardless of political affiliation, democrats win bigger. I don't know why that is true, but it is. So yes, everyone vote!
Yea, it's the subsidies. The government of China funds questionably profitable companies such that they can sell their products at what would be a loss by any other company, undermining the values of competition in Europe/States.
What does China get out of it? Chinese products distributed globally running Chinese software and sensors which are beholden to the whims of the Chinese Government. They also get to weaken the economies of the target countries.
The United States does similar things with intelligence, but citizens of that country can at least condemn, research, and publish findings against it's own government. What can a Chinese citizen do? Very little except obey.
The United States is also massively flawed when it comes to competition but at least there are theoretical methods for the citizens of that country to change things. If they can destroy the corporate plutocracy currently strangling democracy.
Being an open country has upsides and downsides certainly. The same could be said for Russia/China's information war exploiting freedom of speech on those not educated in critical thought.
When they have no words to use, or words reveal them to be hypocritics, they turn to violence. I'll never respect a group who cannot state coherent ideas backed by reality and evidence.
They say kids are being groomed, what kids? Where? When you look into it, they mean that kids are being listened to, and instead of being slapped and discouraged like previous generations, we allow them to be themselves. Listening is apparently grooming.
They also have a habit of focusing on outliers. If there are 1,000 teachers and 2 behave inappropriately what is the rational response? To discipline those 2, instead these people hyperfocus on the actions of the 2 then blanket declare the remaining 998 groomers because of the unanimously agreed on bad actions of those 2. No one is defending bad actors (actual groomers who attempt to sway children), of course they exist and should be denounced. But the 998 who are listening and allowing children to be themselves are not "groomers".
It's incredibly stupid at best, and disingenuous at worst. Some of them are actually stupid enough to think they are doing the right thing, because they don't understand the ideas I'm presenting, but many are intentionally misunderstanding in order to hurt people they are bigoted against.
It's all hate. Hate and violence. You never catch them listening and sharing ideas. Always shouting. Always angry. Anger and fear are the tools of the bigot and the fascist.
Based on what I've seen I doubt most American police know what a percent is.
Path to police seems to be, be dumb in everything, bully some people, show willingness to abuse without thought. Here ya go, have a license to kill, torture/murder implements, now get out there and shoot some poor people!
Communicating trauma through art is fine, as long as you don't remind the Christian fundies that their beliefs and practices are a prime source of religious trauma for lots of people.

True, I was just saying that in another thread, when more people vote (of any politicsal affiliation) the statistics say democrats win bigger. I don't remember why it's true but it is. Something to do with demographics.
I hope this follows those officers for the rest of their lives. May they never rest or have a moment of peace.
I watched the body camera footage. These officers showed flagrant disregard for the mental health crisis referring to him before they even saw him as "some kind of bipolar schizo".
Walking in the room they instantly escalated to shouting orders at a person who is clearly already distressed and unaware of the situation, they taze him without warning, he panics thinking they are going to murder his mother and hugs her, "Don't shoot my mom," trying to shield her from them. The mother hugs back, "Don't kill my son."
It plays out almost as a joke, like officers decide to kill these people the moment they ask not to be killed.
For a moment they break away and the boy stands unmoving, they taze him again, this agitates him and he take a single step forward with the scissors. The officer fires, the boy stops. The officer fires again. The boy stands there unmoving. The officer fires again. The boy stands there unmoving. The officer fires again. The boy collapses.
These police officers deserve to be given a fair trial in an unbiased system*, but i think in reality nothing will happen until the next boy is killed. We'll say the same things. Then the next boy is killed. Etc.
*The United States does not have an unbiased system to process cases like this against the police.

Preface : I do not think children having to go through that is awesome, thinking about what it must have been like is pure pain. That said, it happened, my comment is focused on the aftermath.
I think the outcome is awesome. As a kid stuck in a religious school I ranged from questioning to hating religion because of the many inconsistencies and general dumbness of the whole mascarade.
Nothing could have struck a more devastating blow to religion than themselves. They blatantly displayed to the world that religion is for power and they were fine with pedophiles. That woke so many people up and I presume accelerated the departure of people formally leaving religion.
A person is on this earth and decides to abandon a church they see as evil, electing to go to hell because it's the morally correct thing.
They die, find out they still exist, go to receive judgement and say, "Well I abandoned the church send me to hell I guess."
Judge says, "Lol no, you passed the test. You chose to go to hell instead of overlooking morally corrupt demons who claimed divinity, all the people who knew and stayed in the church are in hell."
Doing
I'm watching Travelers on Netflix after getting back from leg day at the gym. About to eat some pressure cooked chicken (tikki masala and tapatío as simmer sauce).
Rather
I suppose I'd rather be watching Travelers on Netflix after getting back from the gym.. earlier, while stoned and hanging out with someone I was dating, but dating apps are the poo.
Haha, 11p for me, not much variation available this time of night.
Good show so far for SciFi lovers. Reminds me a bit of Fringe for some reason tho the storylines are nothing alike.
Everything I'm about to share is subjective but maybe it will help.
Method : edibles.
Even with a high tolerance I've had experiences that lasted more than a day. The "up" is the most intense and is the first 1-3 hours, then the main portion lasts 2-4 hours. The "down" is hard to track because it isn't nearly as intense. I'd estimate 2-4 hours for down. After that I'm mostly functional again. So a 5-10 hour experience in total for a standard dose of edibles.
The next day sometimes there is an "afterglow". It usually means I dosed too much or too late in the night. I think of as a hangover but without pain, more of an inability to get angry and a light cloud on all of my senses. I enjoy it.
It never lasts more than 2-3 days. Less than a day is the most common, though I tried a new edible once where I didn't return to "normal" for three days, that is rare and usually means you took WAY too much. I certainly did on that occasion.
If you dislike it, you can avoid it with precise dose control and avoiding going to sleep while very stoned. Basically don't do more than X mg per hour AND don't get high after Y o'clock. You can figure out your personal X and Y via experimentation.
Vaping is similar but the timeline for "up" is compressed, the up is much faster and the high is much shorter. I haven't vaped in the past year so I don't have a lot to say on it.
