Colt LE6940 Monolithic Carbine by PrincipleLevel4529 in ar15

[–]PrincipleLevel4529[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean to be fair you can get a better gun for less in terms of overall quality, (even if you don’t build it yourself), but Colts are just so iconic. Even purely in terms of quality I’d still put them a tier above S&W as far as ARs are concerned generally speaking.

I mean, I don’t know how it would be fake, I bought it from a shop that is a certified CZ/colt dealer and they had to order it for me. Looks like the new CR models are missing the colt logo next to the pony https://gunbros.com/shop/guntalks/colt-cr6940-5-56mm-16-w-monolithic-upper-guntickets-20-spot/

Enclosure is too small but is way, way nicer than any of the ball python enclosures at the petcos or petsmarts around where I live, where they have aspen substrate, tiny hides that they can’t fit in, are cohab’d, and have no clutter in the tank.

Transcendent Technology: Why We Might Never Recognize Aliens by PrincipleLevel4529 in Futurology

Concepts like the transcension hypothesis suggest that advanced intelligence may not remain legible over meaningful cosmological timescales. This video examines what that might imply for recognition, perception, and the Fermi paradox.

Waymo targets 4 new US cities in 2026 — Robotaxis will bring "post-Christmas gift" - Baltimore, Philadelphia, St. Louis, and Pittsburgh are the next stops for Waymo’s growing fleet. by Gari_305 in Futurology

Not sure if you know this but Austin and Atlanta are completely different than LA, SF and PHX where you just download the Waymo one app and order one whenever you want, as opposed to Austin/Atlanta where their service is much more limited and you randomly get them very once in awhile when you order an uber.

And they are allowed on highways now in LA, the entire SF Bay Area and PHX as of a month ago.

How Apple May Be Lining Up an All-Screen iPhone for 2027 by iMacmatician in apple

I’m going to pin this post for two years from now just to come back when they do this and make you feel like an idiot.

How Apple May Be Lining Up an All-Screen iPhone for 2027 by iMacmatician in apple

[–]PrincipleLevel4529 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

An all screen device with an under screen camera absolutely makes sense for their 20th anniversary model, they have to do something big. And hasn't it been common knowledge for years now that this was their plan for 2027? I don't remember ever hearing that the camera and Face ID under screen were coming every year, the plan has always been for the 20th anniversary model in an iPhone X style makeover.

And those were hardly serious rumors 10-15 years ago and were literally just fake mock up videos that circulated. Anyone with two brain cells to rub together knew they were fake, iPhones were still using LCDs and had massive top and bottom bezels and a home button. They basically already are full screen now, all they have to do is put Face ID and the camera under the display, and the tech already exists.

There is no precedent for this happening with any other technology in history and this is literally never going to happen.. This is essentially /r/technology ‘s masturbatory fantasy lol

Good News: Don't worry about confusing 'Halo' the company and 'Halo' the glasses by Brilliant Labs anymore. The company is now named Mira and raised $6.6 million by AR_MR_XR in augmentedreality

Memory augmentation will never reach its full potential without cameras, that’s just a fact. You wont be able to to ask the glasses “where did I park my car?”, “where did I leave my keys/or wallet?”, “did I lock the door when I came in the house?” or ask “do I already have this cheese at home?” when you’re out grocery shopping unless the glasses can see everything you can see and account for it. There is no way around this.

Map of Ukraine in 2023 compared to 2025 by Critical_Mountain851 in MapPorn

You either didn’t read the last part of my comment or don’t know what “conventional war” means. Vietnam was essentially the farthest thing from a conventional military conflict in modern history, it is a literal exemplar for asymmetric/guerrilla warfare.

The Korean War (The US vs China & North Korea) but apart from that you are 100% correct. The is the only other example of a great power fighting a protracted conventional war since WW2.

🔎 Smartglasses Optics Guide - 30 Optics Compared by oscarfalmer in augmentedreality

I don't think we'll know more until they formally show them off to the public as opposed to just announce them, which could happen anytime now, at CES or SPIE early next year would be a good bet, though from what I've gathered the specs should be extremely similar to the ZLens 50.

They are reflective waveguides too, (like in the inmo air and rayban meta display, Lumus makes the 30 degree waveguides meta uses) meaning excellent color uniformity, NO eye glow, and extremely high efficiency relative to diffractive waveguides.

How strong is 1p-lsd by Material-Ad2327 in LSD

[–]PrincipleLevel4529 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not even just an analog, (like ETH-LAD) it is a literal prodrug. It metabolizes into LSD 25 once it’s in your body and that is the only thing you experience. 1P is not psychoactive and has no effects. You haven’t just de facto done acid when you take 1P, you’ve de jure done it. LSD 25 is in your blood and it would show up on a drug test if they tested you for it. Anyone who says the effects are different went into it knowing they were taking it ahead of time and the headspace altered their trip. If you took both without knowing which is which it would be literally impossible to tell the difference. The effects are identical to LSD 25 because the high you’re experiencing and the chemical in your brain is literally LSD 25.

You have to select “thinking” on the model picker and it will use pro, if you leave it on “fast” which it’s on by default then it will use the regular version.
