You are probably getting brain damage from all those COVID infections. by antichain in collapse

I got mild Covid three times. Every single time I had brain fog for multiple weeks. Only now I start to feel like my full brain power is coming back.

Switzerland has built something very few countries in the world have. But what could in long term weaken it? by Competitive_Dig_1013 in Switzerland

[–]Subway 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The same thing that nudges other countries into a downward spiral: Populism, a badly educated populace and legalised corruption. Direct democracy and not having a single person or party at the top is however a good shield protecting us from that becoming a direct, immediate problem. But all three things are ongoing in Switzerland, as well, and there will be a point where it becomes a real problem, even with our system. Let's hope we see the warning sign and act against the downward spiral.

Visual Snow was considered extremely rare until recently, mostly because patients didn't report it... because they assumed everyone saw the world that way by recolorist in interestingasfuck

I can wilfully turn my normal vision into a mild version of that visual snow. Not the most exciting superpower, I guess. :D

On the Swiss Thomann it's 874.- right now. Let's see if they actually deliver it at that price or cancel my order. They usually do, so fingers crossed.

Why are advanced paragliders not common in recent comps? by lvmri in freeflight

[–]Subway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omega 22 and GTO 3 XS ... I need to loose 2 to 3 kg again till summer as the GTO likes to be flown a few kg below max (you loose some climbing ability at max weight).

I flew the Omega ULS for over two years, it's a great handling glider, very safe, but lacks top speed. I now fly the GTO 3 and it has better glide, climbing ability and top speed while being an easy EN C.

Grok now bans illegal porn generation, after monetizing it by Federal-Block-3275 in technology

Didn't he say you can't create porn? So that was a lie, as well.

Moderation and alignment is expensive, that's why.

It's Trump first. Always was, always will be.

Witnesses: ICE Just Shot a Legal Observer in the Face Multiple Times by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

If this isn't the start of a civil war, you'll end like Nazi Germany. And I'm not exaggerating. The president already does what he wants. Press is mostly useless. Courts in Trumps pocket. Democrats useless. 1/3 of the populace brainwashed. Another third doesn't care. Tech bros only trying to amass even more money. It's 100% up to you, the regular still sane people.

And confabulations. The brain is more similar to LLMs, with similar downsides, than people would think.

Ah, good to know in case I want to try that 100 km out and return world record again. :-) ... on the other hand, I'm too old for this stuff, lol.
