CUDA is NVIDIA proprietary, but may be open to licensing it? I think?

You still need an Internet connection…

I followed the work of some A.M. groups for a bit and they have basically proven it can be eaten without dying. The question is, what benefits do the different A.M. compounds have? Unfortunately, everything I heard or read from those groups was anecdotal and not formalized. Admittedly, I am a year or so behind on my fungi studies so there may be new info out there.

Speaking of anecdotal, my experience with psilocybin has been phenomenal. Granted, I don’t eat much anymore, but I don’t really need to. Studies do support its use for PTSD treatment for vets (me) and for recovering addicts and alcoholics (also me). I only mention this as there are likely thousands of undiscovered compounds in mushrooms that may be phenomenal for mental health The evidence (anecdotal or not) is looking good for A.M.

Alas, there are risks.

The better advice is if you don’t know what something is, don’t put it in your mouth at all. If someone was to try this when they are desperate for food, usually if alone and lost, they could make a bad situation even worse.

There are quite a few stories or people eating death caps (Amanita phalloides), especially after cooking and not being able to detect anything off until they need to go to the hospital.

Aminita muscaria has been used medicinally for years and has some really good potential. If you really want to trip though, just stick with psilocybin. Ibotenic acid is a neurotoxin and there is not a reliable way to test dosages at home. The last dosage advice I read was just eat a half mouthfull and you should be good if your stomach doesn’t cramp up to all hell. (The companies that have been pumping out muscimol gummies recently are shady as fuck if you were wondering.)

The aminita family is still super interesting though and deserves a ton more research.

Food contains sugars and other things that cause plaque. Food gets stuck in between teeth. Bacteria love that shit.

Toothpaste is an abrasive cleaner that can contain things that kill bacteria. Tooth paste is usually minty, making your mouth feel fresh.

Photons are the smallest unit of energy that can be transferred between a light wave and a different particle.

That is a much better description than what I have heard for the last 30 years: “A photon is a packet of energy”. That made no sense to me back then, and makes no sense to me now and, IMHO, doesn’t quite give a good visualization. It’s a placeholder, and I suppose it is slightly accurate depending on how “packet” is defined.

That’ll break a few brains. To elaborate with an example: From the perspective of a photon, it’s “life” is over as soon as it begins. Even though it takes about 8 mins for a photon to travel from the sun to the earth from our perspective, no time at all has passed for it.

(Correct me if I misspoke.)

Yes, but light always travels at the speed of light, regardless of its speed. It travels at c in a vacuum.

I’ll sell you mine. Hell, I might even trade some points for a block of your finest cheese.

No.

Their marketing department is lagging it seems. They are running Chinese language ads on YouTube to US audiences.

It has a still frame of someone skiing or snowboarding, a QR code and the Chinese language description. Wut?

Everything else aside, my biggest gripes are with service control. Instead of just “service” they had to invent a new name that was super close to an existing function (systemctl vs sysctl) and reverse the switch order. (service sshd stop vs systemctl stop sshd.service)

Besides that, I absolutely hate that all the service configs are not in a standard location. Well, you get things like sshd.conf which are still in etc, but the systemctl configs are who knows where.

There are more important things to hate on with systemd, but I went for the superficial this time and I absolutely hate service management with systemd now.

They can leech all the data they want from my employer. I don’t give a fuck. Never use company assets for personal business as an addendum.

Just be a little more careful with your own stuff, s’all.
