Waterfall··on Trapped in his body for 12 years, a man breaks free (2015)
There is evidence that psychedelics put people in higher forms of consciousness. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6475593/ Here is a few stories about Ambien, a sleeping pill with psychedelic qualities by those who took it. https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn9215-sleeping-pill-ma... https://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/04/magazine/can-ambien-wake-... They also found music helps those with dementia.
Waterfall··on Raspberry Pi as a local server for self hosting applications
They're great as dust collectors but not as good as arduinos. You can always use it to run nextcloud if you want your own services.
Waterfall··on Raspberry Pi as a local server for self hosting applications
I was going to do this, but you can usually just change the DNS and add a hosts file to your router assuming it can run firmware that allows it (like tomato or ddwrt). It seemed pointless to try since the charts work for http and everything is https now. I didn't setup specs for traffic but the setup I use is much lighter. Just wanted to suggest this for anyone who might want to block on their home network. I also use it as a NAS with USB3.0 to SATA with An SSD.

Won't matter if your main computer does the decoding, and for the price of one good computer that can stream to all devices including crappy ones versus all good ones and a cheap NAS to host, which would you choose?

What advantage does an NUC have over let's say your old laptop? They seem like they're the same price as laptops with laptop specs but are missing most critical components and are a bit smaller.
Waterfall··on Advocates want to name heatwaves like hurricanes to raise awareness of dangers
Are you suggesting that in Christianity they don't have sex? Sex is important in all religions, or their populations would die.
Waterfall··on Advocates want to name heatwaves like hurricanes to raise awareness of dangers
They sure do! (Only if the names are female.)
Waterfall··on Orcas striking sailing boats in the Straits of Gibraltar
So non land mammals? I wasn't sure if they like land animals much. They might just dislike apes
Waterfall··on Your Phone Is Your Castle
The first one? Yes. The second is not. You can get even cheaper deals. I had a free year from Sprint a year ago with unlimited data.
Waterfall··on Your Phone Is Your Castle
I Pay $13 a month for 2GB and unlimited talk and text. Most phones have 2 Sims and can use esim. Truphone is much better internationally. https://www.truphone.com/us/consumer/sim/ It has free incoming calls and you only pay for outgoing.

What if they don't like the taste of apes? What sort of mammals do they like?

Waterfall··on What If ‘Capitalism’ Isn't the Problem? [audio]
Sure, research and development in bell labs was pretty good. Doubt we'd get all that stuff from random people without exotic equipment and cash. Of course they made risks of their own money, not other people's money
Waterfall··on What If ‘Capitalism’ Isn't the Problem? [audio]
You don't think meat packing is centralized? How you you think factories do their work? Where do you think subsidies come from? What does centralized mean?

Why would I want a man in Washington to guide Montana in the form of government though?

Waterfall··on AirMessage – Android app to interface with iMessage on a Mac
Sorry it should have been obvious lol. Like how Nvidia screwed the 2000 buyers lol

Are you kidding me? Everyone plays magic online now. Nobody plays in person except for casual (usually elder dragon) and tournaments.

You can print proxies but better yet you can use a program like magic workstation to play any cards for free if you don't post the official wizards one. As long as they don't look like real MTG cards it's ok usually.

Most people offline carry more than one deck too. I don't see any of your issues as a real problem at least in my life its always been fine.

Waterfall··on AirMessage – Android app to interface with iMessage on a Mac
The serial, how did you get it working? I tried generating a few of them and they never worked. I got one from my MacBook to put on another computer, it worked for a while but one day clover (osx bootloader for non Mac hardware) updated and it stopped working. I am not sure if the serial had an issue or something, did you have a similar issue? I ran it on bare metal and my use was different (just to have my messages and iPhone synced) so it worked ok for me until i updated it and stopped using osx.
Waterfall··on PinePhone Manjaro Community Edition
Is it running without power savings? It's better than I thought it would run
Waterfall··on PinePhone Manjaro Community Edition
Can the pinephone hardware realistically be used to run Linux comfortably on mobile? The pinebook sucked and this is the same hardware,the pinebook pro has 4gb and still struggles
Waterfall··on “Dark” Personalities Are More Likely to Signal Victimhood
I definitely see that but could not write this so elegantly. There's forum trolls that comment everywhere to show their mark online. The girls I've dated are different. I don't like most of them anymore because of the things you pointed out. It wasn't that way even a few years ago. Screen addiction is my problem. It's essentially a neon sign you change at your whim to do anything and color really changed perspective. I disabled colors on my devices to attempt to better work.
Waterfall··on “Dark” Personalities Are More Likely to Signal Victimhood
Why is the founder effect not a part of natural selection? If one population lives and becomes specialized in a way of life is it not natural selection? All mammals come from a common ancestor and genetic drift occured or the founder effect over a long period of time. There are cave fish that are blind but bred with non blind types gives their offspring eyes back. What is the difference between founder effect, and natural selection? Are they not part of the same force?
Waterfall··on Nano-diamond battery that "lasts for 28k years" closer to commercialization
We could do away with the battery itself and end up with supercapacitors. There's cool mods to replace car batteries with a permanent supercapacitor since it's perfect for the the crank with low density. Not good for extended use with electricity in the car though
Waterfall··on “Dark” Personalities Are More Likely to Signal Victimhood
Someone mentioned generic drift but that doesn't really answer your question. By evolution do you mean genetically different from other humans (like psycho genes) or as a human trait that is innate for humans?

Serial killers sometimes change from childhood, or have the triad of problems ( fire setting, bed wetting being beaten for it and animal killing) and some people get molested and develop different personalities, splitting or bipolar. They had to have been predisposed to it, but yes you can get these traits from bad experiences.

The adaptation is natural. I mentioned serial killers to show failures of society, sociopath isn't always successful most are not like most people aren't. It's not a Willy Wonka ticket to success. If you can apply Machiavelli to stuff you can change too (unless it's always been in is, who knows).

The article is misleading to me as well

>Despite future long-term mating desires which are unlikely to be achieved with a narcissistic male and possession of substantial mate sampling experience, females view the narcissistic male as a suitable partner.

They say it as if the personality is the only thing that matters. These men are probably narcissistic because they're attractive, women aren't attracted to ugly narcissistic guys and narcissism isn't likely why they're more attractive. Men are also very attracted to these traits in women, I dated a girl like that and if she was ugly with that personality I'm sure nobody would have given her more than laughter. Imagine if Bundy looked like the elephant man, would he have gotten away? Replace narcism with attractiveness and you'll get a much more accurate statement

>People with dark triad traits will tailor their strategies to obtain these benefits, depending on their social environments.

Spoken as if normal people don't.

I'm sorry but the world is just that people like these combined charactistics. It's like being mad at the laws of physics. You also need to attractive to pull most of this shit off.

Just because evolution is accidental doesn't mean there's no structure behind it (emergent intelligence). Because in this environment they are successful it means there is random genetic changes that give these same traits.

How does this explain different phenotypes in grouped populations? Let's say for instance that a species of ant is known to be more aggressive, why it was that way is probably generic drift. Why it stays that way is because of its environment, and it is selected for.

He asked why the environment is like that they rewards this behavior, some serial killers get screwed up in childhood. Did they all have dark personalities before?

Waterfall··on Open Source Thinkpad T420 Battery Design
What is irrational? These batteries have been cloned cheaply so they're already reverse engineered. You can find them all over eBay. If this works on the T430 and x230 it will be very impressive.

I don't think this generation had DRM on the batteries. The new ones did and they're not cracked.

The new keyboards are good too. Where are you getting the screen from? They're way overpriced when I find them (12.5in screens, 14in and 15in aren't much better either).

Wait until you get a T440P. About the same, but way more powerful and the screen and battery life are way better. Only like $120 usually and even less pretty often. The batteries are cheap and genuine too. I'm looking forward to more devices like the surface so Keyboards aren't attached to laptops anymore. The new Lenovo keyboard is pretty good but it's expensive!

Waterfall··on Open Source Thinkpad T420 Battery Design
What is more innovative? More Mhz? Vector calculations? JavaScript? Depends what's important to you.

The new CPUs don't put much more power, but they're crippled by the mitigations (old ones too but weren't when you used them), use way less power, many are fanless (saving more power), and it's not like anyone was struggling with not enough power on computer anyway. Intel had innovated a lot, especially their video decoding and graphics.

I'll take a crappier CPU with a better screen any day but luckily I don't have to choose with these.

You can find them on eBay for cheap. That makes them budget. Nobody cares if they were $9000 last year or a million when they were released. They are commonly found as cheap old business equipment or found in the trash. You can get a thinkpad today for under $600 new and and old ones for under $200. Ideapads have sometimes been more expensive than thinkpad so it's not a good metric.

As an owner of a T420 and x230 thank you but these laptops are too old. The CPUs use like 25w, the screens are 99% really bad TN screens and a few touchscreen IPS on the x220t and x230t. The screens are the deal breaker. Lugging around a heavy laptop or a small laptop with a crappy screen sucks. The new generation starting wirh 40s are modern battery can have internal and external batteries and the screens aren't overpriced crap, you can easily find a cheap IPS in FHD for under $60 on eBay. These need adapters or expensive crappy screens that aren't produced anymore.

I wish they had better screens to make them worth using. Using an IPS and going back to these is hell, and the 720p on the T420 is also really saddening. It's the worst part of these computers.

Waterfall··on Venture capital firms to include “diversity riders” in term sheets
How do you correct it? By holding racist thoughts of your own that you assume this race thinks that of that one and correct for it without judging them by their actions?
