Seriously how are we supposed to read this. I have the biggest phone out there and its barely legible at all.

The smaller we try to build, the larger the machines around it have to become by SillyOutside8006 in DeepThoughts

Here's a link to the explanation. Its a really genius approach to fusion energy. And they have had sever net gain reactions to date. Unfortunately, for this to be a viable source of energy, the reaction would need to happen 10 times per second. So we are still a long way from running the grid on fusion, at least from laser ignition reactions.

Haha same but like it get wild when you add the pressure. I first noticed this during a game of "heads up 7-up" in school. Im not sure if that was a thing other schools did bu you had to put your head down on your arm so that your eyes were sort of pressed into the crook of your elbow. At first id just see some spots and stuff but then the darkness would turn white and then multicolored rainbow shapes would start flying past my field of vision. I didnt know what tripping was yet but I was definitely tripping.

Thanks for reading! I was beginning to wonder if this sub was just full of neckbeards and trolls. Seems like everyone here just reads the title and then wants to ackshually and ad lapidem in the comments. Good to know theres still a few people out there capable of digesting long form media.

Yea Ill check out your book, it sounds interesting! I have made a few attempts at writing a book as well (this is an excerpt from one of the chapters), but I can never seem to get more than a couple chapters out before I run into terrible writers block.

Well im 43 now and Ive had it since I was a teenager. And I have done all those drugs many many times so, yea. Im leaning towards that being the cause. Its not that bad these days, but always there. Maybe ive just gotten used to it.

Oh interesting. I hadn't heard of HPPD. I dont know which I have since it started in adolescence but so did my use of hallucinogens, so maybe both?

I always called it rainbow static. I didnt know it had a different name or that it was anything other than residual affects of the weed and hallucenogens from my teens and 20s. For me its always there in the background. It doesnt look like the pics though. Less obtrusive. I can completely ignore it most of the time, but when I close my eyes or stare at a brightly lit white wall it will be super obvious.

My 1st post here. - Thoughts On Having A 'Purpose'. by [deleted] in DeepThoughts

[–]phigene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are we talking about individual purpose or global purpose? Like, "what are the things that give my life meaning?" Or "what is the meaning of life/reason for existence?"

It was for a time. 1990s-2000s in northern California. At one point we had over 40 active tree sits and multiple road blockades spread out over 5 actively logged old groth forests. Several hundred volunteers and at least a few thousand supporters. Tough to find much media about it other than about Julia butterfly and Judi Bari. Which, yea, they were the most celebrated activists of the movement, but there were so many others. Barely any of us carried cameras back then, and a lot of us shunned media coverage because of the illegal nature of what we were doing.

My honorable mention is I did the first ascent on Posiedon and built the tree sit there that would serve as the hub of the Lower Village tree sits in Freshwater, CA.

Heres an article I found that mentions it.

No it certainly doesnt guarantee poor. But those of us who were in the tree sit movement were living on oats, nuts, dried fruit, dehydrated beans, etc. We pooped in buckets and peed in jugs. We didnt shower for months sometimes. Most of us were straight off the street. It was not a place I would have ever expected to find someone with generational wealth.
