  • Even without much education, I was a geek in a rural location, one time a friend’s dad put a cigarette (half 3/4 done or so) on a fence cause we were having a competition and we hit them all. Mean the cigarette was only say 15 - 20 feet away but I I split it in half with a BB gun (yes no kick of course), probably luck but I was hitting the targets too and the dad figured no one would hit that one. It wasn’t a long range but I figure someone with access to a rifle should shoot fine enough if they practice even a bit if I can without access. I only shot a gun maybe a dozen times in total.


  • Didn’t he help organize buses to Jan 6? Least I’m pretty sure I read that back then. Not that murder has any excuse of course so I’d never condone it in the least. I do mean that but wondering if his rhetoric had any influence on the action or was a personal issue.

    Flags lowered by Trump’s orders? Well take that as you like. Like he cares about anyone that doesn’t bend the knee. Probably a good excuse for the military to deploy there now for him.


  • When I was a kid I saw some model train stuff in boxes in our house storage and asked about it, my dad said we needed a transformer, unfortunately not the many Transformers I had in my toybox…we never got the power one but I always remember thinking we needed one to power trains for years. No idea what ever happened to them, now that I think of it I assume my Mom made sure we didn’t have storage after a move, I always wanted to see those trains move.


  • I highly recommend everyone to read up on Feynman, he is absolutely one of the genius that you can read about for modern times (well probably Hawking too). He gave me the urge to understand calculus and even if I never got there (I will probably try till I die because I wish I understood the world in a similar way), I so wish I could understand it 1/10 of he did. Also the biographies and other stories show how much he loves what he did, if we only could have many more with such interest in science. Mean maybe we do I don’t read science journals but his drive I think shows a lot.





  • Nobody’s perfect, sometimes they need to buy some to make a special day for someone they love and even in the strictist ideals you can forgive that, as much as you may not agree. Also my boycotts are my ideals not others so no reason to think less of someone else cause they’re doing their thing with their knowledge on it all. Mean there may be limits but think that gives the impression of my thoughts.


  • Yes and maybe not then. Look at Newton’s law, even it deals with psychology if not physical action and realize that we (under some theories) have free will to make the actions that will cause those. So something will happen to make you (or someone else) do an action and even if you (or they) don’t like it it happened. You can look at it from 1000 angles but either way someone with that personality would make it happen that way.

    So gotta just accept, it is what it is, try and make it better and I hope it works out. Mean unless you can see the future and change things, we all are who we are, may. It be worth knowing or hanging out with but somebody probably made something you don’t want to happen, happen. C’est la vie.


  • Never looked into the half life but first time it took like 6-7 hours to see the ceiling swirl nicely. I wouldn’t assume many days lasting though. The wired framed mech I wanted to see out my 3rd story window at like 4am was beat though, especially when I made it walk back and forth.

    But after many times, including after seeing the Teletubbies sun face randomly (actually not even the most awesome hallucination that trip), after 12 hours I was mostly sober.

    Other time I recall was about 10 hours after first dropping went to a rave and got home,I saw some fun colours in the shower water, into infinity between the tiles, then yelled a Madeline cartoon cause they left their luggage 3 scenes before they checked in and had it next to them again…then went to bed and was all tired later cause my sleeping schedule was mixed up.

    I wouldn’t think it last longer than say 12 hours unless other factors are in play.

    Edit forgot to say, most of my acid trips I saw no more than stucco ceiling swirling for a hallucination. So don’t take these experiences as standard…well maybe the watching that Madeline episode that was stupid continuity but expected for a tv show made for kids.




  • I’ve lived where tap water tasted like shit, not quite literally but eveytime I went home I’d have to remember not to drink the tap water. Eventually that town got a better water treatment plant but I can sort of see it from that angle. We always had the big 4gallon jugs (again may not be correct but the bigger jugs that sit on top for a dispenser) for regular drinking water

    Thankfully where I moved to (many many kms away) the tap water was awesome, don’t live there now but I still do tap water over filtered for the most part. Never seems that much worse so may as well.

    Really the only reason you’d drink the other tap water was cause you’re hungover…also been there. Then you remember that there’s a water dispenser somewhere in that house cause no one drank the water from the tap in the town. Even the better water wasn’t great but still noticably improved.





  • I do not, no proof. If there was a god such as in the Bible why give us reasoning abilities when they give no proof? And if so, then I put forward the idea that if there is such a god, they don’t care if we believe so why bother?. Not to go all gamer but like the Sims, they made us and took out the pool ladder and saw what happened.

    If there is a god that has such powers and cares, well fuck them cause they ain’t helping us it seems. If they are well we’re too far off course for it to matter, this playthrough is spiraling and it doesn’t matter if we believe or not cause we may be circling the drain.

    So seems easier not to believe because if you do it’s more depressing.

    As long as it took me to really comprehend the rate of change thing and understand how calculus is that, until I read that sentence I didn’t think of all the gravity parts impacting a stellar body and velocity in a direction being impacted by multiple forces. Mean I always knew the story of Newton inventing calculus for that but never clicked exactly how it related. The sad thing is it’s a sort of thing I pondered a bit on but never quite made the connection.
