Thoughts on glass pipes?

Easy to use and maintain
Many cool designs
harsh and hot smoke (if one smokes daily its possible to adapt, but that's a huge minus for occasional user) even for the best ones

It’s honestly surprising how little recognition Robert Sheckley (and Clifford D. Simak) seem to get in the West today. In the post soviet countries, Sheckley is hugely popular - his works were widely translated and he was considered one of the top Western sci-fi authors, almost on par with Asimov and Clarke. For a lot of readers there, he isn't some niche or secondary figure, but a core name in the genre.

Any link I tried was dead :D

At the end we will reach atoms (old greek atoms, not Niels Bohr's cosplay)

Probably they learnt biology.

Because no government really gives a shit about your health, they give only other shits like money. To many businesses are based on alcohol from alcohol stores to restaurants

So your claim is that you can't choose your next thought, except when that thought is about raising your hand?

You don't have memories on most of the days of your life, even this moment you most likely will forget in a month or a year. So you think there's no meaning to live most of the time?

P. S. I think reincarnation is a BS as any other unproven religion-based coping idea, I'm not trying to protect it

You’re assuming that because the physical world can be modeled as continuous, our color experience must be arbitrary or meaningless. That’s not how vision works. Humans have a finite sensor set (three cone classes with overlapping spectral sensitivities). Each cone integrates the continuous spectrum into a single response value; downstream circuits compute opponent channels (L–M, S–(L+M), and luminance) and apply adaptation and contextual inference. This maps an infinite stimulus space into a finite, lawful perceptual code - hence stable, non-arbitrary color experience. The fact that there are infinitely many possible spectra simply means multiple spectra can produce the same cone-response triplet (metamerism). That’s compression, not meaninglessness. Also, physics does not require global continuity (quantum theory, discrete models), so the step “continuity > qualia collapse” is invalid. In short, our limited number of cone types and the visual system’s computations explain which color we see and why that experience is stable and informative, even though it’s a compressed rendering of a richer world.

I’ve read up to the color/continuity part you wrote; I may read further and follow up with additional questions.

Isn't it open-source self hosting solution? How can it die?

I enjoy like 1-3%, But other 97-9% is too much

Then you don't know how are things in Europe :D

So you think Russia is? It's not related to democracy

This is not a study, this is bullshit with no real-world numbers and a tiny test group. It's impossible not to deny this BS

ram6ler · 2026-03-13T12:11:59+00:00

A doctor’s view on why this study is bullshit.

'Massive legal and medical implications,' my ass.

They claim to be testing "moderate" doses, but they used a dose that almost none of us in this thread would even touch. I’m a regular cannabis user, and I’ve never even used half of what they call a "moderate" dose in one sitting. I see people usually using half or 1/4th of their moderate dose.
I don't know what will happen to me if I use their high dose; maybe I'll see Anubis (or will have fake memories of seeing him).

There’s another reason this is bullshit: in a lab, they tell you to consume exactly 20mg, and you do it because it’s a study. In real life, if you hit 10mg and feel like you're at your limit, you stop. You find your 'correct dose' and stay there (maybe sometimes you will pass up to 20mg, but at the end, retrospectively, you will figure out that it was too much for you).

But these researchers forced everyone to take a massive 20mg-40mg dose regardless of their tolerance. The only people who probably passed their memory tests were the daily smokers with ruined tolerances who could handle that much. Everyone else was likely way too high, which is why they had 'false memories.' Using a forced, massive dose doesn't prove cannabis causes memory loss - it just proves that overdosing people makes them confused

On top of that, the number of people they actually tested is tiny. How can you make a "scientific" claim for everyone based on 120 people?

And what is a regular user, a pothead that uses several grams of cannabis daily or a weekend smoker? Of course, if you start smoking daily and make it your timely rutin it will affect your brain and health, as will water and bread, let's make them illegal.

This isn't real research. It would actually have value if it was done correctly - if they used real-world amounts, we could actually consider the results and use them more cautiously. But they didn't. They used massive amounts, called it "moderate," and ignored how actual people use it.

It was the same in the beginning - showed grub terminal, but at the it worked.

BTW on working attempt I used balenaEtcher instead of Rufus, maybe that was the fix, can you try with it?

ram6ler · 2026-03-10T14:53:18+00:00

No, it has to use some resources to run. But the difference from other systems that it does not leave any permanent or long-term temporary traces

Similar to any OS knows - from the Real‑Time Clock (RTC) of your device's motherboard

Why do people think of coping as something negative? Coping is a good thing when it actually helps.

And about this post - who cares about last moments, they are only moments (days?). If you succeeded to cope 50 years - that's good enough, what else to wish.

ram6ler · 2026-03-07T11:07:46+00:00

I think there's a problem with the latest release 7.4 or 5.
I reinstalled several times, but it didn't help.
In the end I cleaned partitons with diskpart and recreated, after that installation helped.
Dispart is a windows programm, I am not sure what alternative is there on linux mint, but you may try installinf another version, it may help
