You don't interact with movies, you're a passive observer. Some games are fine at 60fps, some are much better at high frame rates. Linus Tech Tips did a demonstration with professional FPS gamers and found how much of a difference different frame rates could have.

I play a fair bit of Rocket League on my 144fps monitor and it was a huge upgrade over a standard 60fps monitor.

Rocket League casual mode still has a match making ranking (MMR). It can be displayed with BakkesMod.

Casual mode doesn't penalize you for leaving partway through a match, can use bots to temporarily fill empty spots on a roster, and will pick people with larger MMR gaps than ranked.

Casual also doesn't display your rank tier (bronze/silver/gold/....) at the end of a match, so you don't feel as much pressure.

For an idea what happens if you just play anyone, play the first few days of the season when the ranks are reset.

Difficulty of finding a glass pipe will depend on your area, but many head shops will have an oil screen (for cannabis extract, but work fine for DMT) to fit into your vaporizer. There are dried herb vaporizers that will work like the yocan evolve. You can also use the super cheap oil burner (known for meth/crack).

DMT (the active ingredient in P. viridis) can be made in a lab or extracted from many other plants like M. hostilis or A. confusa and the MAOIs (active ingredient in B. caapi) can also be made in a lab or extracted from other plants like P. harmala.

Synthetic routes were published in TiHKaL.

How much do they change? When is it the longest and shortest? How long is too long? Is there a too short? Can those who need the most sleep cut back through medical, psychological, or other interventions?

This research group actually found genes that impact the amount of sleep people need. Understanding these genes may provide a way to answer some of these questions.

Your post answers no questions and helps no one.

Because it was done on short notice and the data is going to a company that has little public trust or respect during a pandemic. Now we don't know if states are doing better because the numbers are being altered (intentionally or accidentally) or being collected correctly.

There could have been a period where both systems were in place so we could see that the new system had advantages or was working correctly, but it was just an instant switchover.

Maybe it wouldn't be so suspicious if the company now collecting the data didn't have a history of dealing with Trump.

> Nobody dies from alcohol that didn't choose to drink alcohol, unless they are run over by a drunk driver, and drink-driving is already banned. An argument can be made about people dying from second-hand smoke, but the rates on that are well below any infectious disease, and there are increasing regulations around where smoking is allowed, dealing with that.

Alcohol is the drug that causes the most harm to others. Yes, some of that harm like domestic abuse, sexual assault, fighting, and drunk driving are illegal. https://sci-hub.tw/https://doi...
