I've hit a stumbling block with the phone abolition project, namely, banking.

I am going to attempt to run my bank app inside anbox, fingers crossed I can do it. If I can, I'm gonna be so happy. If not, I'm still gonna be happy, because that device is going to be only ever used for this, and otherwise in a metal box.

Another project that is evolving out of all this relates to my abhorrence of the web browser. Namely, a dictionary. I'm not going for the hard copy solution, because why should I clutter my space up when I have a storage and encoding/decoding device with a massively higher word/gram ratio than any book????!!!! That doesn't make sense.

I'm trying out Artha. It is summoned by default with the keys Ctrl-Alt-W. Word, I guess.

This is very nice. As a programmer, one of the most frequent problems one encounters is coming up with good names.

It's my firm opinion that after humans finally have a Carrington Event after the age of electronic computers reaches its peak, everyone is going to stop thinking about the internet as something to count on. Good. It also will mean the value of optical transmission and faraday cages will become interesting to people who have got used to living in a fog of electromagnetic noise.

I can't wait, actually! Bring on the Carrington Event.

There's a lot of cool things to look forward to when most of the world's electronics are fried, and I for one, am not gonna be suffering.

I'm going to have my computer work space already prepared. Full Faraday cage, with earthing. Everything inside it earthed, no radio inside the faraday cage ,that's just stupid. All devices with added shielding to ensure they leak as little EMF as possible. I will have offline dictionaries, massive amounts of archival data storage, books, libraries, media, all sitting there like a little Noah's Ark of teh Information Age.

If you aren't already starting to think in this direction, that's ok, someone is. When your gear turns into inert matter, don't worry, you can come to me to query my database.

"The Science" is a religion.

The last 38 years of those lives isn't worth living. And the last 3 years will have hammered that number down at least 5 years if you look at any of the realistic estimates of how many people over age 55 "died suddenly".

The AMA et al, being run by a monopoly cartel organ, make sure that only the most psychopathic people get licenses, otherwise they'd have trouble selling their industrial poizons. Not only do they then charge way above what they would with competition, the "service" is a bit like the scene in Lynch's dune where the doctor is caring for the Baron's skin condition.

I ditched the nicotine and thc, alcohol mostly gone but caffeine still got its claws in me.

I made myself a promise when I finish my current project (it's a bounty, and will be plenty of money to let me do nothing for a week) I'm gonna just have hot baths, sauna and get massages and sleep.

Eventually I have to stop because my blood is too thick and acid and caffeine is the number one cause.

I never saw you before but this is insta mute.

you poor thing. I hope you get some good sleep with the meds :D

🤣🤣🤣

haha, I see I don't follow you. I don't buy that "each to their own" story. It either works, or it doesn't, and if it does, and the explanation is wrong, then there must be a right explanation.

The only thing different between people is their weaknesses. That's not exactly something to celebrate, but rather, medicate.

There's a lot of things that are wrong, but the main one is that the only winning strategy in business is to have mates in the banks and parliament, and that ultimately leads to bad things for everyone because it's them against us.

I've given up on hoping we can fix it. Just focusing on surviving and praying for the aliens to come and whoop some psychopathic asses to smithereens.

wowser. Yeah, that'll do it. I've had nasty cuts on my fingers from plastic fan blades (60mm screamers like in bitcoin miners).

"vibrational element" is aka "placebo effect".

There was beliefs in ancient cultures that enabled the witch doctors to point a bone and a susceptible person's brain would activate a program that basically killed them. The brain can kill the body, and it also can limit its ability to function in various ways as well.

There is no logic to saying that higher dose (more physical substance) has more effect if you are saying it has nothing to do with the physical, at the same time.

At the same time, I would point out that as material physics types like to mention, that less than one molecule of a substance is nothing at all. The dilution rates in homeopathy are far beyond this. But there is probably one or two molecules in a subtantial sized dose.

Another fraud that isn't snake oil hope dope is the mainstream science idea that only 0.01% of a contaminant is still pure.

The difference between quality crystalline DMT and orange goop is about 98% versus 95%. It's only clear/smokey grey at above 99.5%

When a chemical says "BP" or "USP" or similar, a common grade of purity for food and medicine chemicals, they mean 98%. It is basically only just pure enough that the contamination doesn't greatly impact the chemical properties. The boiling point is +/- 0.1'C and the density also similarly very minimally different.

But the effect of the contaminant is not negligable in all cases. I personally cannot vape DMT that has even 0.05% of sodium hydroxide remaining in it, because it causes a chemical reaction to form a substance that gives me anaphylaxis.

There is marketing, and then there is biochemical and physical facts. Neither are properly upheld in either mainstream medicine, or alternative medicine.

Also, the best medicine is good food. That's the reason why everyone is so sick these days, and why "medicines" are top sellers. Red Bull used to be an amphetamine/caffeine/nicotine tincture in Thailand in the original form. Now much the same, without the nicotine and amphetamine is consumed by the litre by people everywhere who are doing this because they are sick.

GFY

But they'll happily sell you alantoin all day long to make you look younger. Synthetic of course, cos it's cheaper and damages the environment more.

The amount of potassium or sodium cyanide needed to kill an adult is around 200mg. This is like 10 grains of salt. You would die of dehydration if you only had 200mg of water every day too.

The hooey about homeopathic doses and vaccination are two examples of medical fraud. That still go on, unprosecuted. Very few things that are toxic in relatively small amounts are in any way helpful in any amount.

Fluoride is a good example. In small doses it is not toxic, but it slowly displaces iodine in the thyroid until the gland cannot produce adequate amounts of Thyroxin and other hormones. The rate of elimination of fluoride is a lot slower than several days because it sockets into every place where chloride and iodide would normally go, this is because it's smaller and electrostatically similar.

youch. I just woke up pls lol.

Looks like a cut from glass to me. I had one like that as a teenager in my left hand from glass that got piled up in a really dumb place after a bunch of drunks smashed them all up in the skateboard bowl. I could see a little bone and lots of tendons too.

By the look of it though, nasty scar but most likel\y the very strong fibres running up through that are a are ok. By the blood I am guessing it didn't rupture a major artery either, which means you should heal pretty good.

Just make sure you get it stitched up tight right away, you don't want a wide scar band like on one I got on my shin when the filthy nurse declined to do the stitches right away. RIGHT AWAY.

Comfrey, as in "bone knit" or "lamb's tongue"??? wut

Yeah, I wanted to share after reading yours. I kinda guessed that it may have had something to do with amazon. All those big megacorps do it. I remember poor programmers trying to write extensions for MacOS back in the day and next version Apple would build the same feature into the system and the extension writer was out of an income source.

I'm not sure if the aliens can read minds so much as project their thoughts to each other. There's a difference.

I want a romanian breakfast then.

Bulgarian breakfast is espresso and a cigarette. I'll pass on the cigarette.
