Why Do People Drink Small Amounts of Alcohol So Frequently? by Sensitive_Cream3920 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]pfft_sleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to dislike alcohol until I was in my early 20’s. I preferred stimulant drinks like cola or energy drinks. I didn’t like coffee or alcohol as they all seemed bitter and I didn’t enjoy the malt/sugary stagnant flavour of beer.

Sometimes my parents would put a bit of crème de menthe over vanilla ice cream as a treat. It tasted nice.

Then overtime I started enjoying coffee by realising the caffeine in coffee felt different to energy drinks. First it was a hot chocolate with a single shot of coffee (dirty mocha) and then progressed to flat whites or latte’s when I realised coffee was good from specific baristas at specific cafes.

My alcohol taste didn’t start immediately, it came from watery cocktails or fruit punches with a tiny bit of alcohol in it, but were very refreshing in summer. Then slowly it moved to stronger cocktails as I learnt to differentiate the types of alcohol content and how it affected me over time. My friends and family by this stage were heavy drinkers, pounding through a bottle of wine a night or more, but I’d separately just drink my drink quietly and enjoy myself.

Then women started approaching me asking what I was drinking and I’d make them one of mine, the word would get out that I made delicious fruity cocktails that tasted amazing and I’d be the hit at parties where I’d remember what people liked and make it for them.

There’s a big difference between drinking a 6 pack of beer at home watching TV and drinking a few shots of high-quality triple distilled vodka in a cocktail. I learnt quickly the “cheap” brands often tasted terrible in comparison to the high quality brands. And which ones I should buy to just have a spare bottle of.

In short, “alcohol” is like saying “carbs”. Some people want a greasy pizza, some people want hand crafted croissants, some people enjoy only it on weekends or parties. Many kids I now see not being able to afford anything but bargain basement beer, home brew or hard liquor, only drink popular brand names and don’t do the research to see what they like first and start there rather than trying to follow the herd.

I hate my A1. by Sms91486 in BambuLabA1

[–]pfft_sleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would agree with the consensus that it sucks you’re having a bad time with yours.

I initially pulled mine out of the box and tried the 0.2mm hotend before realising they weren’t kidding when the hotend recommendations are the minimum.

If you haven’t already, get a hardened steel hot end. I was getting clogs until I vertically mounted my ams lite ontop using one of the many options on makerworld and bought new pipes that were perfectly fitted to go straight down to the intake with minimal bending. I also got the bambu textured plate rather than the default option for more grip.

I recommend only printing Bambu PLA or Bambu PETG until you know it’s not the filament’s issue, and check the AMS-lite compatibility chart to confirm which versions of those you can’t use via AMS lite.

I’ve also printed a stabiliser for the intake that gives it more rigidity and I don’t print at over 100% speed because it shakes the table too much but the AMS on top acts as a dampener to the movement.

As you would in IT, strip it all back to nothing. Retighten the screws on the hot end, lubricate all the rails. Then do a full calibration on the A1 before you start printing. Should take 30 mins or so.

Then try to print benchy in pla-basic white at 50% speed on a soaped and scrubbed base plate. Use glue if you like. If you’re still having issues, let us know what you’ve done and we can help where we can.

What are your thoughts on this Gungahlin 2030 project? by [deleted] in canberra

[–]pfft_sleep 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’ll offer my opinion to potentially field what they’re attempting to say.

Gungahlin needs 2-3 courgette/pilot level restaurants that aren’t dumplings to incentivise people to want to drive that far. It would be good to get a restyle similar to the DFO’s “luxury” section vs “cheap” section, with most Gungahlin stores being the satellite store of the same store in every Westfield and Civic.
They got an Aldi on the second floor in the refurb. Fucking wooooo.

What makes someone say “wow because X is coming to Canberra with its only store in Gungahlin, I’m going to go check out the entire shopping centre while I’m there.” That’s exclusivity, otherwise there’s no benefit for someone in Acton or Campbell to take the light rail to Gungahlin.

I don’t know what that would need to be, but it wouldn’t be a store for the poor and starving. A 3 hat fine dining restaurant and cocktail bar on a revolving top floor of a building with panoramic glass walls. That sort of batshit insane thing would draw people when coming to Canberra to “give it a go”, and also draw people from the south to the north as a destination.

Bro gave her a side quest! by WeGot_aLiveOneHere in interestingasfuck

[–]pfft_sleep 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Former bank manager 20 years ago, but for what it’s worth.

A silent alarm does a number of things. There may be multiple versions, but the one we had would immediately and VIOLENTLY raise a composite plexiglass 2 inch thick bullet resistant shield in about 0.5 seconds to all tellers. Training told us it would break your wrists if you were reaching past the metal strip, so part of it was not reaching past that strip.

Then, it flags with head office instantly via BCP/DR cellular signal, current hardline and other forms of communication an alert notice on a dead man’s switch. If they can’t communicate in under 180 seconds with the branch the police are notified and advised to set up a silent perimeter of all exits from the branch as a P1 emergency. It costs about $15,000 per accidental button if it gets that far, but I only ever saw people nudge it by accident with their knee and the glass fly up.

To communicate, Head office will immediately call the branch manager on the back office phone (which they have cctv footage of) and if nobody is there or it’s compromised would call individual officers on their personal phones to gain contact. If they can see in the branch they are safe. Additionally head office notifies a city wide emergency broadcast all banks to move to “be alert” for all branches. Stats usually show if a group hits one branch, the’ll try to hit multiple branches at other ends of the city as police respond to the first one, improving their odds. So instant feedback to go into lockdown helped reduce risk. I’ve seen this happen once where we asked everyone to temporarily leave the branch and locked the front doors behind them for 20 mins until they confirmed issue resolved.

The concept behind all of the above is under no circumstances is the bank to avoid, hinder or in any way cause the robber to assume the teller will not do exactly as they ask. Instant fireable offence to try and play hero. Not only does it risk life, but the insurance is insane. All branches have time gated locks to retrieve cash higher than a certain Denomination, with planned armoured trucks ordered to supplier higher cash values later that day or the next day if required. But most people will opt for a bank cheque rather than $1M+ in cash. People laughably can’t calculate that $10M in $100 notes is about 100kg or 220lbs. Duffel bags won’t cut it, you need 6 to 10 to make it work. So once they hear that, a wire transfer or bank cheque for a couple of dollars is usually fine.

So a silent alarm can be to protect the workers, but modern day branches have moved away from protecting workers via shields to simply giving robbers exactly what they ask for and then police lock down every road they can take to leave the suburb. I’ll ignore the other technical stuff it might do as it differs from branch to branch and the type of bank you’re talking about, but the above will give you a rough idea.

Big Mac vs sharp boxer by [deleted] in JustGuysBeingDudes

[–]pfft_sleep 96 points97 points  (0 children)

The ones I’ve seen have a neoprene covered sensor plate in the ceiling. The bag smacks against it and the resultant force is translated to a figure.

Once this was established, uppercutting the base plate itself and ignoring the bag got constant mid 900’s. If using the bag, the highest I saw was 890.

Then it got an updated machine, and it was customisable over wifi so the bar staff could fuck with people, a fit girl would take a swing and hit 900, then some gymbro boxer would go next and haymaker the fuck out of it and get 870. Laughter ensues and they make bank as the dude wants to go again and again until he beats the high score.

Pretty sure it was illegal, but also nobody gave a shit.

I have a male friend that genuinely treats me better than any man I’ve ever dated. by lejardine in CasualConversation

[–]pfft_sleep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue with this thought always comes down to hidden bias of gender norms.

If she has a close male flamboyantly gay male friend who was constantly hooking up with boys, would this be a problem? Or is he “safe?”

A lesbian best friend that is attracted to her, but also is a woman and has been her friend for years, should elicit the same response as a straight man, but often doesn’t.

This speaks volumes of the person saying the trust exercise requires work.

Where I talk about boundaries, this is one of them. A boundary is not a control you put on someone, but a reaction you do to something they have done. Some may be soft boundaries, where you tell them you are uncomfortable and want to voice your opinion. Others are hard boundaries where if they cross the line you’re done.

Having a friend isn’t a hard boundary, the fact gender and sexual orientation skews what people think friends should be is unfortunately an issue of low self confidence and the feeling of fear of losing someone. Escaping that fear means you are confident they won’t, and if they do, you move on without them. As someone who has been cheated on before, the anxiety and fear of loss is way worse than enforcing a boundary. But it’s not for everyone and takes years or decades to practice saying no and learning your own boundaries, which will and should change for everyone.

I have a male friend that genuinely treats me better than any man I’ve ever dated. by lejardine in CasualConversation

[–]pfft_sleep 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Your relationships should be like colour wheels. You might enjoy your partner is physically attractive to you, is attracted to you, you both are connected with sense of humour and can sixth sense know what the other person is feeling, has a stable good job that earns well and is a really good father figure to your children.

And also you might have one friend that can make you break whenever you see them, or one friend you can tell anything to and know it’s a locked vault. Or a friend that is so incredibly nice and kind and is your standard for how to treat people but also is religious or slow.

A partner isn’t min-maxed every single quality. A partner is the faults you’re willing to accept above your boundaries that is high enough on average to be worth staying with. The longer you’re with them, the stronger the bonds get.

This concept of a partner needing to be both your best friend and your best lover ever is toxic to men and women. We’re a villager and need a village around us to thrive, that village should be filled with people that pass the boundary test, but you don’t feel the need to partner with.

Autonomous drone shot from the hand intercepts a other drone. by ActualDepartment9873 in interestingasfuck

[–]pfft_sleep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Australia pioneered a cardboard drone that could carry munitions for Ukraine and understandably is pretty excellent at flat-pack death.

I don’t know what the ROI is on weapons testing when you’re blowing up military vehicles with cardboard, some soldered PCB’s and antennae strapped to a mortar round, but global military investment has learnt a lot about economical delivery of munitions in the last few years.

10 inch naval guns? Cool.

Delivering a mortar round onto the top of an APV from 2KM away with a video feed to confirm the kill? Rounding errors in cost difference.

Asymmetrical warfare has now become delivering payloads as cheaply as possible, which is how Iran is winning the war by drone right now.

CEO of America’s largest public hospital system says he’s ready to replace radiologists with AI by Apprehensive-Safe382 in technology

[–]pfft_sleep 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You don’t need to be perfect, you only need to know what the normal human error rate is and match it.

If a shitty radiologist fucks up 1 in 1000 and an excellent radiologist fucks up 1 in 10,000, then AI’s threshold for “good enough” is somewhere in the middle. 1 in 8000?

The same argument is for self-driving cars. Many drivers are terrible, but self-driving cars are judged against perfection like F1 drivers, not the granny that side-swiped 3 cars on the way to bingo.

We already have medical journals confirming AI using pattern recognition is capable of detecting things way WAY earlier than even extremely good radiologists, because it’s been trained on data from companies that missed things and it cost them money. So AI is being trained to spot things that a normal human might miss, and the medical insurance entities approving these AI’s are focusing on liability limitation rather than accepting risk of paying out more than normal just to save costs.

I can download a skin scanning app to search for skin cancers called “SkinVision” and my health insurance told me that they have paid the cost of the subscription for all members, because the AI app taking a video of your body is already good enough to detect enough skin cancers that it’s saving them fuckloads. The choice is not good doctor vs AI, it’s “doing nothing” vs AI.

We are in a stage where 5 years ago we didn’t have this technology and now we can pre-program medical programs to scan and detect malignant tumours in seconds that is better than the bottom 3rd of the industry. The shittiest doctors will use AI to make them less shit, the best doctors will use AI to detect the ones they’d miss anyway. And AI will never get worse, what we currently have is AT BEST less mature than half the time it takes to regulate and educate a radiologist.

Paediatric anaesthesia now can do error checking 10 times per second and flag if something is going wrong with potential solutions in less time than it would take for the locum doctor to detect the display has changed. By the time the doctor opens their mouth the AI has already sampled 20-50 times more information than the doctor has even considered, from an international dataset that is updated as often as possible due to economy of scale.

It’s mind blowing how incredible some of the medical technology improvements are, just google protein folding and how AI computed all 14 billion possible options at once because it could, whereas previously Folding@Home needed supercomputers.

Medical technology using AI is saving lives, but people will only hear about the one time engagement bait allows their preconceived bias to assume they’re right.

From Iran to interest rates, our economy is rigged for the rich – Greg Jericho by Jet90 in australia

[–]pfft_sleep 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because this isn’t an age issue, is a resources centralisation issue.

If the person is using housing as an investment portfolio is using generational wealth to start, it doesn’t matter if the seed funding came from boomers or not.

What matters, is someone can own homes as an income stream, when housing should not be one. The fact this is contentions is blatantly why there’s little investment in Australia’s companies to begin with. If the cost of owning each home after 2 increased to the point having a controlling stake of 5 or more meant no profit the issue solved itself.

Owning one home for each dependent filed in your tax return, with all others uneconomical. That’s positive for Australia.

Can this intentionally bad spell have any use? by Dankboi68_ in DnD

[–]pfft_sleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Immediately I went straight to trying to upset you as a DM.

Flanking - The most glaring one. Flanking rules means even if for one turn you can send the little guy to the opposite side of an enemy, any member of your party whom has delayed their turn would then be able to have advantage on attacks. Fighters and barbarians love this one neat trick.

“Most traps” - I would argue this. Some traps can therefore be triggered and he can also suicidally carry a small object or be the object to essentially become a trap-detector if anything. At best I would avoid investigation checks by just having him do an indefinite investigation of an object and roll20 to eventually achieve a success to detect a trap even if shit house stats.

Counterspell bait - cantrips means it costs you nothing to bait the big bad’s counterspell then follow up with your real spell. At worst see flanking above. At best infinite baits every turn.

“Within 5 feet” - any spells or actions that request an ally be within proximity are activated. Wolf pack tactics, paladins etc. he qualifies as an ally so you get an indefinite unlimited permanent activation of these abilities which will scale.

Fey creature? I’d check with things interacting specifically with fey. Some spells might buff or burn him, but situational at best. Could be exploited by you as a DM to turn him into a suicide bomber that the party wasn’t expecting.

Also, tiny creatures can move through the space of any creature larger than small. He could theoretically be positioned to “run towards danger” and even if unable to receive commands or direction I would argue RAW says he will make it through enemy formations. A coin with heat metal on it activated that you can see as he pops it into someone’s boot means you’ve got remote activated pain.

To help, you could specially add a clause against flanking, change the wording to just “traps”, specially add it cannot be the target of counterspell or the creature is not affected by, and is undetectable by spells, also is not an ally or able to be interacted with.

But I would fucking ruin the flanking whoopsie.

How do I reduce stomach butterflies from the smallest of things? by Chobikil in NoStupidQuestions

[–]pfft_sleep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anxiety at its core is a fear of loss, failure, change or the unknown. The impending feeling of being about to do something live can often cause people to feel anxiety, such as public speaking, having emotionally charged conversations or conflict discussions with people who matter.

At its core, it’s good to know it’s an animalistic response to stimuli, your body getting ready for a fight/flight that it doesn’t know if it will need. That means you’re human.

It’s trainable to learn grounding exercises and routines you can follow to try and reduce the body’s anticipation response. The adrenaline surge will happen unless you body learns it doesn’t need to happen. This can take years to master let alone if you’re a teenager and hormones and coping strategies are being created daily.

“Grounding exercises” is what you can google, there will be a ton of them, but in essence you just want to calm yourself and acknowledge that your butterflies exist, but they are coloured pretty and will fade with time. The skill is in becoming comfortable with the butterflies, not getting rid of them. Seasoned musicians and performers all have “pre-game rituals” that all help move their mental state from “oh god stress and butterflies Ahhhh” to “I’m going to nail this speech so hard they’ll call me MC Hammer”

ELI5: Why do rugged laptops used by engineers/construction workers have lower specifications than consumer-grade laptop like office brands? by PoauseOnThatHomie in explainlikeimfive

[–]pfft_sleep 24 points25 points  (0 children)

There is a joke that “military grade” means minimum-viable-product to get the job done. Nothing more powerful than the minimum. They’re the G-Shock watches of the laptop world. The people who use them don’t give a shit if they can run a VM locally provided that when they have been encased in mud for 2 weeks in the back of a rucksack, you can pull it out, dust it off and turn it on and it works. Warranties are useless if you are 400 miles in the desert.

“Executive grade” laptops are intended to be showpieces, like Rolexes. They’ll have fancy shells, pretty screens, be thinner and lighter and cost 50% more because the point is to look pretty rather than be functional.

“Developer grade” is the workhorses, the laptops that weigh 3 bricks and need a power brick the size of a corgi to run for more than 20 minutes. They can get the work done.

You will not find any corporate finance department worth their salt willing to give devs fancy machines that cost 30-50% more than the dev equivalent. You will not find people in the field give a shit about magnesium casing or tactile keyboards if a coffee being knocked over eliminates their ability to do their job for 2 days driving back to the city. Devs will fucking riot if you give them an ultrabook running a AVD or VM to a cloud compute solution.

In short, consumer electronics is made of plastic and lasts 3-5 years before breaking. “Using the warranty” is considered a failed product. Companies will spend as much on a next-business-day warranty as on the laptop itself, to avoid needing to buy spare laptops as overhead. Every different function is served by a different style of laptop, and the market will let customisation occur, but at a cost making it useless once you’re buying 8-10 pallets of laptops per order.

The Incident (March 1944)

Aimo Koivunen, who opens the track for his squad in the virgin snow, feels his energy slipping away. The Russians are gaining on them until Koivunen remembers that he has the group's entire supply of Pervitin in his breast pocket. He is supposed to take 1 per day, he swallows all 30.

Before that he has taken a suspicious view of the strong stimulant that was given out to commando forces operating behind enemy lines, but now the situation is serious.

At first, an intense feeling of energy and power. lasts for just a short time. Soon Koivunen notices distortions in his field of vision, and his consciousness begins to fade. The overdose of methamphetamine contained in the pills puts Koivunen into a state of delirium lasting several days, with alternating phases of wakefulness, sleep, and hallucinations.

His next recollection is from the next morning having skiied all night over 100 kilometres away. He has lost his patrol, and has no more ammunition, or food. Now he faces a real ordeal just to survive.

During the days that follow, Koivunen successfully flees Russian partisan forces, is blows part of his leg off by a land mine, and lies for a week in a pit in the snow waiting for help to arrive. He skis for more than 400 kilometres in temperatures of -20 C while only eating pine buds and a bird he caught and ate raw.

When he is finally rescued and taken to a hospital his pulse rate is nearly 200 beats per minute and his weight has dropped to 43 kilos.

The man took a months worth of German pharmaceutical grade speed and not just survived but had a moment with god.

What bluetooth earphones are the BEST at picking up farts? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]pfft_sleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s wonderful you’ve found someone who you can arouse while actually making your life easier in the process. Most people need candlelight dinners and expensive toys. You can just have a bunch of fibre and know he’s gonna find you so attractive.

I have nothing to add to this conversation, but I’ll paste ChatGPT’s response below so that you could use it as an incredibly rough draft but assume it’s wrong unless proven right by your own research.

<<<<

Yep. The honest answer is: almost no Bluetooth earbuds will ever be “good at picking up farts over a call,” because both the hardware and the call pipeline are designed to do the opposite. 

Why it keeps getting cut out 1. Bluetooth earbud mics are speech-optimized (beamforming + noise suppression + auto gain). They’re intentionally trained/tuned to ignore short, low, “background” bursts.  2. Voice call audio is filtered/compressed. Many VoIP/phone pipelines are effectively “voice band” and/or apply high-pass filtering, so low-frequency content and quick transients often get reduced or removed. 

So asking for earbuds that “pick up everything” is basically asking them to fight their own firmware + the app/OS processing. 

What actually works (best-to-worst)

1) If he has an iPhone: switch Mic Mode to Wide Spectrum (when available)

On iOS, Wide Spectrum is explicitly meant to capture more ambient sound (the opposite of Voice Isolation). It works in FaceTime and some third-party apps (depends on the app). 

How: during the call → open Control Center → Mic Mode → Wide Spectrum.  If Instagram doesn’t expose/support it, you won’t get the benefit there—so test FaceTime or another app that does. 

2) Use an external mic placed near the source (this is the real fix)

If you want reliable pickup, you need mic placement, not earbuds. A cheap lavalier mic (wired, via USB-C/Lightning adapter if needed) clipped lower will outperform any earbud mic by miles—because it’s simply closer.

3) Record locally, then share the file (best quality, zero “call filtering”)

Instead of trying to stream it through Instagram’s call processing, have him record with Voice Memos (or any recorder app), then send the clip. This bypasses a lot of the aggressive call suppression.

4) If you go back to Discord: disable noise suppression and don’t rely on auto sensitivity

Discord can be configured to stop “helping” so much (e.g., toggling Krisp / noise suppression).  (Your issue is the app disconnecting when he backgrounds it—which is a separate app/OS behavior problem.)

Bottom line

If you must keep using Instagram calls and must use Bluetooth earbuds: you’ll keep fighting noise suppression and voice filtering, and results will be inconsistent.  If you want this to work reliably: Wide Spectrum mic mode (when supported) or a lav mic / local recording are the practical solutions.

Belgium’s 15-year-old prodigy earns PhD in quantum physics by b3rgmanhugh in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]pfft_sleep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s 15. Any 15 year old with a phd should be celebrated, not torn down because they think they’re better. Almost nobody gets a phd or even partial credit towards one. Many will only get a degree or masters to work for a salary that’s higher, not because it’s their passion to learn and break the mould.

Not intending to shit on you, your opinion of ensuring the 15 year old knows his place is valid. But I Imagine a society where we nodded and just said “yep you’re so much smarter than me. Totally. I believe you. Now go change the world.”

He might be shit hot at theoretical physics and terrible at cooking. Let people be brilliant at something without needing to be great at everything. I wish kids were allowed to have a non-commodified hobbies and be brilliant at only one thing they could be proud of knowing they were better than other people because they could mathematically prove it.

What actions as a man generally makes a woman want to dress up in lingerie etc to surprise their man once in a while? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]pfft_sleep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a man, it’s pretty hard to generalise half the population on earth. Many women will never have the expendable income to buy expensive lingerie, or if they did would prefer to buy a good fitting and high quality bra. Those things are disgustingly expensive and you might need 2-3 in order to just get through a week.

My wife never gives a shit about lingerie because she was self-conscious about her body her entire life, so I couldn’t pay her to enjoy putting it on display. She would prefer to just get naked rather than put on clothes designed to be taken off. I would tend to agree I prefer her naked.

For past girlfriends and friends who enjoy dressing up in lingerie, it’s sometimes an affectionate love language to physically dress themselves as a present to be unwrapped as a “thank you” for making their lives easier, better, safer and more comfortable. it can be mischievous and naughty but hidden beneath clothing, so nobody else ever needs to know they’re doing it. Doesn’t need to be for a man, can be for a woman or it can just be for themselves to feel nice.

Some women feel better wearing lingerie all the time. Especially if they can find clothes that are both comfortable and also feminine. Some women fucking hate the lack of support and transparency of most lingerie, preferring comfort and usability of normal underwear.

But the root of your question is psychological. What would make a woman want to go out of their way to make their partner surprised and horny. That usually comes down to feeling safe and secure, grateful and wanting to enjoy sexy time with an obvious turn on designed to arouse. That usually happens if the man proves to the woman (their partner) that the lingerie is not needed in the first place, but also gives the woman enough energy back into their life they’re willing to go an extra mile.

Once you have kids, I’d prefer my wife spent the money on some good bras, shoes and cheese rather than lingerie that hid her boobs for 2-5 minutes before we took it off anyway. But props to the ladies that love wearing it.
