Why is everyone so giddy about the flooding thay happened at burning man?

Social media seems to be laughing its ass off about this tragedy, is it because the folks at burning man are perceived as frivolous hippies or something? Everyone I’ve ever met who was a regular burning man attendee has been a solid human being with strong morals, personally and financially responsible, a career. Upstanding...

Maybe in ten years you can rename it to “Monsoon Man” and theme it around rain.

Odd consideration, but… I use 16Gb of ram and I have zero swap space and I’ve never seen a freeze in the three years this system has been assembled.

It could just be the way I tend to use my PC, light photo manipulation, some audio editing, some gaming just not AAA. I’m never stressing my system unless I’m opening a compressed file or rendering a video.

If you’re worth your words.

If you bag groceries, no one is going to give much of a shit whether you stay or go. On the upside, you probably won’t care much either as most employers in 2023 are as replaceable as their employees.

Keep that in mind and you’ll never get burnt, so long as you live somewhere with a varied enough employment scene for you to bounce around. If they’re as replaceable as you, it’s good peace of mind.

EXCLUSIVE: Naomi Wu and the Silence That Speaks Volumes (www.hackingbutlegal.com)

When China’s prodigious tech influencer, Naomi Wu, found herself silenced, it wasn’t just the machinery of a surveillance state at play. Instead, it was a confluence of state repression and the sometimes capricious attention of a Western audience that, as she asserts, often views Chinese activists more as ideological tokens...

She developed a new form of 3D printer for printing extremely long objects.

The printer can effectively print a chain forever if given enough filament, as it prints at a 45 degree angle on a belt.

Good for cosplay swords, poles, staffs, belts, lamp posts, other long and hard things.

She made the prototype and collaborated with them, so the story goes.

Impressions: Starfield’s sheer scale is already giving me vertigo (arstechnica.com)

There's a quote from Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy that I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. “Space is big,” he writes. “You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is.

Some companies have mandatory 401k deductions whether you request it or not.

Ashley Furniture (sue me if you care)

Granted, it is technically a 401k and accumulates but they don’t pay any towards it so I don’t give a fuck, give it to me so I can invest it myself.

There is one hidden, tiny problem.

Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome.

You may never get it. 99.99% of the people you know may never get it, but some do. I did. It’s not the kind of thing you get from eating too much ketchup or even smoking two packs a day for five years. It’s god damned awful, painful and can rack up a lot of medical debt until you get diagnosed properly.

I’m not saying ban weed. I love weed, well, loved. Just make this shit easier to identify, treat, and deal with before we go releasing the kraken of THC untethered upon everyone. If you’re old enough, one bout of that shit might kill you. That’s a heavy toll to pay on something that you might want to legalize.

You’ll pin down what you like about the underlying systems you experience, and then go hunting for that, just streamlined.

Like, I love Archlinux. I love the config files, how simple and straightforward they are. I love pacman and the structure of it… but I use Garuda.

So I know every cool default or awesome app that could help me out just by happenstance? Nope, lol. I like being surprised by features. With Garuda, I get both the system I like with the Ubuntu polish… and… dragons. You can change the theme.

Easy. Usually I use a glass one-hitter and I kept whatever Delta 8 vape I could find on me when out in public. I had a bong I’d use on occasion but usually not that often. I do have a few dry herb vapes like my arizer air but it didn’t get much use really.

I’m not considering trying anything. Not smoking weed isn’t a problem… it’s just not preferred.

Had you thirty minutes with this shit, it would scare and traumatize the living hell out of you. It is not a good time. There’s sick and then there’s this. 8 hours, non-stop, pain. I have legitimate nightmares.

I personally believe the disease reacts to cannabinoids in your system. How they get there is irrelevant.

Through the CT scans, I did have one doctor look at one stone that was high and ruled it out. One after told me “gallbladder looks good” so I shrugged it off. Sorry I didn’t mention it.

I am, however, going to a gastrointestinal specialist. They might find more than the ER did. Time will tell. I’m going full tilt on the issue, I’m not stopping at weed.

BlinkerFluid,
@BlinkerFluid@lemmy.one avatar

Any chance of it happening again is unacceptable to me now that I have experienced it. I can’t let a personal vice tilt on a maybe, and while I kinda expected Delta 8 to be a target. Many classic flower users get it who never put a cart to their lips.

I will do anything to avoid ever feeling that sick again.

D8 so far as I know is all at least halfway synthetic.

As a realist, I look at chemicals like that on the basis that the chemical itself may be harmful, and not the fact that it’s synthetic.

I’ve never vomited my guts out over fake strawberry flavoring or vanillin even though this is anecdotal.

The medial science revolves around cannabinoids getting where cannabinoids shouldn’t be. What appears to be untested is if you can moderate and avoid CHS.

For instance, were I a monthly smoker… or became a monthly smoker.

Stomach cramps here and there and a lot of what felt like acid reflux but without the actual acid.

The first doctor I saw went all in on the possibility of a stomach ulcer, after that I kinda let it go for a year or two, then the OP happened.

Go point all mine out for everyone if it’s so easy.

As a fault, that isn’t much of one. That transparency makes sure every single coin in a blockchain is where it’s supposed to be and accounted for.

You have no idea who random string of hashed numbers is unless they (for some reason) make it public, usually… influencers.
