If you feel the need to eat an unidentified mushroom, though, boletes (pore mushrooms) are what you want to pick. Leave anything with gills alone. The family lacks the deadly amatoxins and orellanine. They only have gastrointestinal irritants and potential allergens (and, apparently, novel psychedelics!), and even then, it's only like a dozen species that have them, and nearly all, if not all, are either red and/or stain blue, with the biggest culprits doing both. There's only been one confirmed death from a bolete that I'm aware of (from the red-+pored bolete (red pores, stains blue), an elderly man, and it seems to have been linked to (at least in part) severe dehydration from the mushroom's gastrointestinal effects (dehydration, vomiting). This despite the fact that boletes are among the most popular mushrooms globally to collect.

Don't get me wrong, if you eat the wrong bolete, you're going to have a really miserable time of it. If you're really unlucky you'll need to go to the hospital (among other things, to get an IV to keep you hydrated). But it's exceedingly unlikely that one will kill you. And it's quite unlikely that anything bad at all will happen.

Still, yeah, not worth it for a fancy meal!

Random agarics (gilled mushrooms), though, that can readily kill you. There are certain *subcategories* of agarics with very distinct characteristics that are safe, but if you just go out there and pick some random white mushroom or some LBM (Little Brown Mushroom), well, roll the dice ;)

This quote was around the time when the right kept inventing 'alternate' facts to justify their antics. It just meant that the left is much more based on facts and the right just makes shit up. Compare wikipedia and conservopedia or whatever it's called for instance.

I had one breakthrough DMT experience where I saw 'the machine elves' (I just saw what I describe as fast-moving fractals that I 'felt' were beckoning to me); but, we have matching experiences w/the other primary psychedelics: I only had relatively minor on-top visual distortions with even the largest doses of LSD (1500+ mcg) or mushrooms.

That said, everyone is different. I know that some of my friends absolutely lost their fucking minds on a few tabs of LSD and, purportedly, experienced wild hallucinations that I have to trust were real to them but haven't ever experienced myself.

... two warning signs are red colour and bluing when cut, and this has them both.

Indeed:

Great Scott! We just need 0.21 gigawatts more!

Do we ever place any kind of satellite at the other Lagrange points ? I know about the attempt to get a gravitational detector at L3/4/5, but is there anything currently ?

More likely a coronograph to hide the light from the star and see around it without being blinded.

I used to like Pascal (40 years ago), but then I saw that the strings were within an allocated either 255 or (more recently) dynamically allocated, so in the 1st case you had lots of wasted memory when just storing a few chars, and in the 2nd case, you needed a(n internal) realloc and hence a memcpy every time you add a char to a string. Very inefficient.

I've used it only occasionally on things I knew nothing about (new communication protocols or programming languages I don't know). The 1st two attempts were abject failures: I was trying to get it to write a GreaseMonkey script to modify specific webpages on the fly as I don't know JavaScript. It should have been no more than 2 lines of code (my estimate) but after 8 prompt attempts that were complete failures, it was generating over 100 lines of garbage.
The 2nd attempt was with a very obscure communication protocol, and poorly documented too. I was trying to get it to generate some Hello World and it never generated anything remotely close.
Recently I've used it on things that are more mainstream and it's okay to get started on new projects, to generate demo programs. But after that I do all the coding. I want the bugs to be mine.

Indeed. It is a well known 'secret' that other student(s) took Trumps' finals in his place, paid for by his father. The world would be a much better place if this particular scam hadn't happened. Here on finals they check your identity papers (real ones, not an easily fakeable driver's license).

You seem to have misunderstood.

The claim here is the battery cells are themselves 3D printed, not that they are stuffing already made cells into a 3D printed object. The batteries would not have to "fit in" the 3D print, they would be the 3D print.

So it's actually dumber than you thought.

> So I already use a tool like this. It's called Voicy. I use it because I've been writing so many long prompts that I developed relatively severe tendonitis in my left arm.

Have you ever used a computer before LLMs became a thing?

If yes, how did you manage to not hurt yourself before your life was nothing but writing prompts?

(Maybe the solution is to stop writing prompts and go back to doing what you did before, is what I'm suggesting)

My father was recently paralyzed by Guillain-Barré, so I'll let him know, thanks.

Oh god. If I spent enough time digging through my ancient Slashdot posts, somewhere back there there are posts of me going, "While I loved the strategy behind Falcon 9, I'm really not keen on this plan to make Starship out of huge carbon fibre tanks, that sounds like a really failure-prone solution..." I'm glad they only spent like a year on that idea before deciding it was dumb; somewhere back there there's also a bunch of posts of me cheering their switch to steel ;) . SpaceX still keep having random COPV problems (most of which they don't even make themselves). Not too encouraging for the notion of the cold gas thruster add-on to the Roadster, where the plan is to replace the back seat with COPVs, so you have a COPV right behind your head.

Electron has been getting by on CF, and honestly I'm impressed, but they've also been only working with very small launch vehicles thusfar. We'll see how neutron goes...
