I have three different browsers running, and four instances of one of them, Each has on average four windows open.

Plus there is a bunch of other stuff running, and I only have spinning rust (Being old, my brain is not very fast).

Not sure how they will get any useable info out of my PC - other than it is probably not using Windows.

Europe is Dumping Windows as fast as it can - on security grounds. Europe does not have the American funding model, and many start-ups are individuals with no significant funding.

I have developed many Xilinx projects, and failed to develop many more because I could not afford the development software. Including military applications that could have run to very high volume. At that time, there were no realistic alternatives.

Cook up one big batch a week. Freeze it in daily portion sizes. Toss one in the microwave, hit the "frozen food" button. Chow in 5 minutes.

Indeed that's the way to go. I cook for one full day typically once a month and fill the freezer although I cook fresh vegetables more often and avoid freezing them. I wait until the freezer is empty to fill it again to insure proper stock rotation. When the freezer becomes near empty, I heat more restaurant food.

Oh about exercising, 30 push-ups and setups daily does just fine.

Comment This is how science is done [Re:Good] (Score 2) 65

Dark energy and matter are not explanations. They're the names given to the problems of discrepancies between model and measurements.

More explicitly, they are names given to a proposed solution to the problem of discrepancies between models and measurements. Measurements show that objects in the universe move in a way that isn't fully accounted for by the gravity of all the things that we can see (that is, the stuff emitting or reflecting light), so the proposed explanation is that the discrepancy in motion is due to the gravity of things that isn't emitting or reflecting light.

This is a hypothesis. It fits the facts we have so far. We still have to find evidence that the hypothesis is correct, or that the hypothesis is wrong. That's how science is done. You come up with a hypothesis that fits the measurements you have, then you look for ways to see if the hypothesis is correct.

Comment The geothermal plant already exists [Re:MS Pow...] (Score 1) 88

The summary says that this thing is supposed to be geothermal powered. So they just have the cart before the horse here. They need to set up the geothermal power plant first, then build the datacenter after the power plant is operational.

The geothermal plant already exists: https://www.globalelectricity....

Apparently, Microsoft was proposing to build the data center there and tap into the existing geothermal power, not build new geothermal power (the summary was a little confusing about that).

Comment Re:Ketamine [Re:So, nothing really new here] (Score 1) 44

Usage rules mandate that the drug cannot be taken at home.

This part is incorrect. Many schedule 3 drugs are taken at home, legally. Ketamine in particular has no special statute governing it, and there are at-home therapy programs.

That was a quote pasted directly from the Psychology Today article linked, but a quick google shows you're right, no support for that statement. Possibly the phrase "usage rules" (PT's phrase, not mine) meant recommended practice (at the time the article was written) and is not legally binding.

That being said- absofuckinglutely your ability to make rational, correct decisions is ridiculously disrupted on ketamine.

Comment Ketamine [Re:So, nothing really new here] (Score 4, Informative) 44

Ketamine is a very commonly prescribed drug, especially over the last decade for treating PTSD. I don't know what that has to do with nazis, nor do I see any good coming from stigmatizing it. What other medicine do you like to stigmatize? Vaccines?

Ketamine is a Schedule III controlled substance: having accepted medical benefits but abuse potential. Usage rules mandate that the drug cannot be taken at home. Patients are observed at least two hours after receiving the agent and typically receive psychotherapy and other treatments for depression.

https://www.psychologytoday.co...

Quoting Gerard Sanacora, M.D., Ph.D. Director of the Yale Depression Research Program and Co-Director of Yale’s interventional psychiatry program: “Large amounts of data suggest that your ability to make rational, correct decisions is completely disrupted when you take ketamine, as long as it’s in your system... People can hear things, see things, feel things differently. The physiological and psychological reasons are the main reasons the FDA declared Spravato [Ketamine] safe only in a health care facility under supervision.”
