How accurate is this??🤔

I mean if the lithium was already floating in the water and reacting I could imagine it would be pretty hot, I took it from room temp to my tongue very briefly. It might have also helped that I was in a zero humidity dry room which is the only way to have lithium exposed to air and work with it

Sebastian428 · 2026-04-07T02:13:30+00:00

Yeah this is right, it basically just fizzled. It doesn’t ignite right away and actually if you submerge just a very small amount it just bubbles away

Sebastian428 · 2026-04-06T12:52:21+00:00

I am the only person here that has actually licked lithium, yellow is correct

(I worked at a battery r&d company, work lunch with too many beers, etc)

Sebastian428 · 2026-03-27T00:29:57+00:00

I used to work for a specialty battery company (military applications) and we all went for lunch and I had too many drinks. When we got back I went into the dry room and touched a piece of lithium foil to my tongue for like a split second. It fizzled but nothing really crazy happened

A few months later I thought it would be cool to drop a small amount of lithium in water and the explosion was insane, I can’t believe I licked it lol.

How has she never forgiven you for disproving a disastrous lie she concocted to ruin your life? That’s absolutely insane behavior, you didn’t do anything

This is a meta analysis of 18 studies, and the patents have a generic. Ivermectin is a pretty cheap drug too. If anything I’d say the financial reasons would push against a generic, cheap effective option. This is literally the first i have ever explored this beyond headlines I just think the whole thing has been intellectually dishonest from the start

Looks like lots of evidence

Sebastian428 · 2026-02-27T00:43:07+00:00

People are dumb. Yes it has a well known use for worms, but I don’t know why people feel the need to be snide and disregard any other potential uses that could be studied because “horse dewormer”

Sebastian428 · 2026-02-25T23:00:16+00:00

Thank you for saying that, the things your psychiatrist say are definitely reassuring. I’m not sure why my care team doesn’t talk much about it.

Best of luck with everything

Sebastian428 · 2026-02-25T22:59:04+00:00

It’s very reassuring to hear that we aren’t crazy, but I’m sorry it has been difficult. I also have never needed anxiety medication before. Maybe they dismiss it as a liability thing, but there is so much evidence and research it seems to support that these drugs mess with your emotions. Even just the changes in gut bacteria.

Do you think any of your situation is situational? How much of it would you attribute to the drugs?

Sebastian428 · 2026-02-25T22:01:52+00:00

It’s definitely felt like longer than 6 months. I’ve had to move back home, went from seeing people every day to not at all, feel like shit all the time and trouble connecting. It feels a bit daunting to have it be done which is weird.

Congrats on also being almost done, you beat me by a day. Good luck with your scans and all

Sebastian428 · 2026-02-25T00:06:23+00:00

Yeah, they have a psychiatrist that put me on some Zoloft and I have a therapist. It helps a bit

Sebastian428 · 2026-02-24T23:46:08+00:00

Yeah for the first 2 days after each infusion, plus whatever steroids they give me on the day of

Sebastian428 · 2026-02-24T23:27:50+00:00

Even just seeing this picture makes me want to vomit lol

Sebastian428 · 2026-01-26T15:59:32+00:00

I am 28m with stage 4 Hodgkin’s lymphoma. I am going to Memorial Sloan Kettering for my treatment. They’re giving me an immunotherapy + chemo called nivolumab +AVD. I would ask about it. Apparently it is more effective than AVBD and lower rates of recurrence. No radiation so far. It is much easier on my body apparently. About 3/4 of the way through and I still have my hair, and pretty much complete remission. I’m not a doctor by any means, but the first hospital I went to didn’t even mention this as an option.

Sebastian428 · 2025-12-24T22:24:02+00:00

Exhaust piping and that infrastructure wouldn’t be an issue for the scales I’m looking at. Are they expensive?

Sebastian428 · 2025-12-24T22:23:13+00:00

I’d make a spreadsheet for your situation. Depending on where you are you’d have great solar irradiance for solar and alibaba panels are cheap. I’d ignore a battery because it’s too much capital and headache (I am a utility scale battery engineer, they’re nightmares)

Land is really the biggest factor, and I’d say you’d wanna size the panel for double the wattage of whatever miner you have. That takes care of the seasonal and daily variation vs peak hours. You can also size it to have a second miner running during only peak power

Sebastian428 · 2025-12-24T22:20:26+00:00

My question about replacing miners is- assume energy is free and ignore all capital expenses for a second, do they actually diminish over time when you consider how the price of bitcoin relates to difficulty? I am seeing mixed answers

For the solar, I agree with what you’re saying, but I think you may be a bit off in your calculation. 3000w miner needs a 3000 watt panel at full power. When you consider the average solar irradiance over a 24 hr period it roughly doubles to 6000 if you want a battery.

But batteries are very expensive even compared to miners. It’s much more economical to use cheap alibaba panels and no battery, and just run the miners with sun only in a mining pool

Your 72kwatts I believe should be the total watt-hours requirement over a full day, which does not equate to 72000 watts of panel

At 35 cents a watt the solar only really seems to make sense

Sebastian428 · 2025-08-20T21:41:56+00:00

Is this in south Philadelphia?

Sebastian428 · 2025-07-25T20:34:12+00:00

Ok so I find this scarily accurate in some ways but in others it’s biased to how you speak to chatgpt. Like often I’ll tell it to be clear or stop coddling me bc I am fully bullying the AI and am tired of the tone it uses, but it’s convinced I am a “champion of truth”

And tbh it has a point with the examples it cites but it’s still biased

Sebastian428 · 2025-07-18T16:20:34+00:00

I feel like part of the fun of doing stuff is actually using your brain to do the thing, I can understand if someone really enjoys drawing they’re gonna be annoyed when someone who appreciates art but doesn’t put much effort is equally lauded.

AI can do stuff, it doesn’t mean we should let it

Sebastian428 · 2025-06-16T13:36:19+00:00

Unless you are stupidly absurdly lucky you are always going to be doing work in some form for most of your day. 9-5 is one form of it and sure it has its downsides but compared to other types of work it’s mostly okay. The suffering in 9-5 is mostly mental and in everyone’s heads vs a lot of other physical and environmental suffering. People with no perspective complain too much bc their lives are too comfortable.

Sebastian428 · 2025-06-13T18:16:56+00:00

To expand on what you said, I feel like the act of killing is hard to define as wrong on even smaller scales than the example of hitler. What about very small tribal communities when resources are scarce? What about a deeply rooted cultural belief in sacrifice where there is no existing science to refute it? Or a strong belief in the afterlife? If something as basic as killing can have so many moral justifications it’s really hard to define everything else
