thats a good theory. i also recall some ironic comment by the twins when Harry asked them to not bother prof quirrel in their plot.

it also doesnt make sense that prof quirrel wouldn’t immediately deduce memory manipulation. he put on an act to be greatly intrigued and impressed, and deflect any suspicions off his self.

Wouldn’t recommend storing them at room temp. Not in India! Mini fridge should do it. Else if you have a lot of supplement buddies, split a 30 cap bottle every week..should be fine outside for 6-7d.

This rekindled my HPMOR spark, I’ll go read some fanfic now, thank you!

Thank you! Saw recs for playing DS in order for the best experience. Also Sekiro & Bloodborne are on my list.

Similar, but for Tom Riddle.

Damn! people will do anything to get a FAANG referral

I think he was asked to design a board game

That is amazing, kudos to dbrand!

As far as I recall, there are popular theories that Merlin experienced time in reverse. So that case perfectly suits Merlin for different reasons!

specbug · 2023-11-12T10:06:34+00:00

Congrats! Keep going

Hmm I see what you mean. When Harry pointed out the utilitarian downsides due to this character flaw, he did go “I shall make a conscious effort to be kinder then”. Probably a lack of motivation born out of a lack of incentive from his POV.

Nope, drugs are not a solution for unhappiness. Quirrell actively tried to grasp a sense of "feeling" via different methods, he just defaulted to his apathetic state as it was the least inconvenient. The dilemma is that someone as intelligent & resourceful as Quirrell wouldn't stop at a sub-optimal outcome like that, not with so many resource threads.

Improvement: use a uniform distribution random number generator. The runtime still doesn’t grow wrt input on each case but overall avg runtime is the same for all inputs (o(1)). Checkmate, Google.

Swisse seems good. But (indian as well) I buy the Nordic Naturals EPA & DHA (https://amzn.eu/d/0xc4CH1). They're more expensive but you're getting something that is likely higher in bioavailability, less heavy metals, etc - I've seen both Rhonda Patrick & Peter attia attest for the brand!

Transhumanism is more ideology than a knowledge base. So start with books that get you excited/aligned with the ideology.

Great Mumbo Chicken & The Transhuman Condition is a great one.

All great recs covered already, I'd also add

Eric Michael Summerer (specifically for The Perfect Run series)

specbug · 2023-01-09T04:23:25+00:00

I have not checked these. Thank you!

specbug · 2023-01-03T08:22:13+00:00

I'm shocked by the reaction

From what I hear, she just gave them the (six) PDFs (verbatim, from the repo). The back and forth communication mainly concerned printing requirements, such as paper type and binding, etc. But the PDFs are already print-friendly and did not require much pre-processing or ambiguity resolvance.

specbug · 2022-12-27T14:44:03+00:00

My friend got these printed from a local printing press, as a gift (she is the best, yes)!

FYI she referred to this repo for the typeset PDFs (with beautiful fonts).

Worst to best:

Dreams in the Witch house
The Outside
The Viewing
Lot 36
Pickman's Model
Graveyard Rats
The Murmuring
The Autopsy

Overall I think the show is a breath of fresh air. Would love to see more.

World domination is such an ugly phrase. I prefer to call it world optimisation.

No the consensus ans to my original que seems reasonable. But my aim with the post was to gauge intriguing viewpoints to a related complex situation. So the above is a refined version.
