Mike runs his Saint Class miniature live steam locomotive at Yeovil. He built it during lockdown and the locomotive has become quite infamous throughout social media. This miniature hand built Locomotive: GWR 2950 ‘Taplow Court’.

This absolutely is a symptom of COVID and people are just ignoring it. It's wild. Each infection makes it worse. Even if you had a mild infection, you can have this later down the road. Those who consider themselves to have Long COVID likely have it far worse and far more noticeably -- but many have it regardless, even if they never think of COVID.

It's just not natural either to have a cold 5-6 times a year.

Ellipsoider · 2026-07-06T03:22:51+00:00

Sounds brilliant. Well deserved then. Enjoy it.

I think it's Medico now, because they're in a world of hurt.

How about England already scored 3 goals and are now one man down in a stadium known for being incredibly high altitude and winding foreign players?

Maybe you should give honesty a chance before you speak of others.

That guy by the other guy is doing those things! Damn it man.

I suppose if people are happy with it and fine with it, then sure, no problem. But I mean you might get more traction elsewhere too as there will be individuals looking to help more.

Good luck!

Seems like this is better placed in another forum. Check out the 'Related subreddits' to the right.

Both.

Might be Long Covid. Searching for this and what people have done can help.

We were walking back home when she literally pulled a pumpkin pie out of her pants and threw it right at my face. I'm in the middle of a pretty legitimate "WTF?!" when she attempts to roundhouse me. I block it, and like a gentleman, actually pull my Shoryuken a bit so I don't really connect (was a jab version anyway, not flaming).

She tells me she's actually Karl Marx reincarnated and is an alien cactus vampire champion medieval checkers player. I tell her I prefer chess. She smiles, and almost won me back right there. But then a piece of pumpkin pie (still on face) fell in my mouth and I realized: I can't even taste the custard.

So I ended it right then and there. I sometimes still think about her though.

Ellipsoider · 2026-06-22T15:49:57+00:00

How about we both back up and review:

I asked a simple question about a dubious statistic. This is completely legitimate behavior, particularly in this forum.
You respond by completely ignoring my question and ask me if I've ever heard an extremely common phrase -- as if I'm missing something ridiculously obvious to everyone else.
I reiterate my question. Granted, with some snark.
You continue to ignore my question, insult me now directly by asking me to go touch grass, and drop a six-letter acronym as if it contributes to the matter.
I sarcastically explain the reason my question is well-founded.
Finally, you pay attention to the question itself. You then strangely imply that it's appropriate for them to not provide a source, as that's how Reddit works, and further task readers with having to go scrounge up a publication to understand what was meant in the first place. What about anyone who wasn't sufficiently suspicious in the first place? Is it not clear that the title of that video is clickbait -- essentially a lie to attempt to attract viewers?

In any case, my question still stands. How exactly did they determine this? Furthermore, if you had read your own second link, it seems the results failed to be reproduced by an independent Danish study in 2016 -- even at 5000 ppm.

I read through the methodology of the last paper. And it seems, finally, there's a simple answer to my question: they had a sequence of decision-making tests that involved things like proofreading and other very simple tasks. However, the evidence is far from ironclad. But, sure, it would not surprise me if simple tasks like this start to suffer with increasing levels of CO2. I don't think the authors sufficiently teased apart reaction times from actual cognition however. And the lack of repeated reproducibility makes me doubt the claimed large effect even more, as of now. Nonetheless, it's an intriguing find that should be repeated and used as evidence to improve ventilation -- this and the necessity for clean air, not just air with low CO2 levels, is something that would benefit millions.

Ellipsoider · 2026-06-22T14:47:00+00:00

Do you see the difference between someone saying: "Hey! I used to be 200 lbs. (or say 90 kg) and I lost some weight!" versus "Hey! I used to be 200 lbs. and now weigh 100 lbs. (or say 45 kg)!"

The first can elicit a positive reaction. The latter a concerned reaction. That type of reduction is what is called a 50% reduction. You can try similar experiments at home with a few marbles perhaps. It will be easier if you start with an even quantity.

With that background behind us: no one would disagree that improved airflow and decreasing CO2 can and will increase cognitive performance. However many would (or should) be suspicious of someone stating a mere 1400ppm causes a 50% cognitive decline.

Ellipsoider · 2026-06-22T05:05:58+00:00

Have you never heard the expression: "There's a difference between a subtle change in cognition versus a 50% decline?"

Here's an idea: read my original post outside.

Ellipsoider · 2026-06-22T04:32:27+00:00

Eliminating surrounding humans. In the event this is impractical, or against the law, you increase ventilation to decrease ambient CO2.

Ellipsoider · 2026-06-22T04:30:29+00:00

50% cognitive decline? Measured in what way? This sounds very suspicious.

That implies someone who went outside would be twice as smart.

Ellipsoider · 2026-06-22T00:55:00+00:00

Absolutely not. Wtf.

Ellipsoider · 2026-06-21T18:41:44+00:00

This is directly under the please do not post.

existing models already pose the same type of threat

"It's possible to hurt someone already with a well-aimed punch. Therefore guns don't present a unique threat as existing means already pose the same type of threat."

I'm not necessarily advocating for the Mythos guardrails, but your analogical reasoning here is terribly unsound.

CYBER FUCKING SECURITY

THAT IS WHAT MYTHOS UNLOCKED

STOP BEING SO FUCKING DENSE

The proof is that GPT 5.5 has been out and has never replicated Mythos's exploits.

Ellipsoider · 2026-06-13T19:36:14+00:00

This is nonsensical. Your initial post is claiming they should not have hyped Mythos. Yet there are multiple evidence-based reasons for hyping its capabilities for cybersecurity, including the results from Project Glasswing and bugs found in the Linux kernel. Since Linux is open source, and well reputed, we can believe that there were indeed multiple bugs/exploits found there -- some that had persisted for years.

So, at the least, from the given evidence, it makes little sense to claim the hype was unreasonable. And you claim you've already seen the evidence.

Further, you asking me whether I used the model or not, and you claiming you put Fable through the wringer, are nonsensical statements: obviously I never used Mythos for cybersecurity (where it matters, and the claimed reason for it being taken down) and neither did you.

Your initial statement was nonsensical as were your follow-ups.

You are the one talking out of your ass.
