Thread 82738032

Greetings, anon! It's the middle of the week already!
Have u been taking it easy this week?
I hope u have!

I've never been this early to a thread before!!!

>>82738150
Hey mio anon!!!
How r u 2day?
Congrats on bein early haha

I couldn't even take last month "easy"

>>82738163
Y not?
What's wrong anon?

>>82738233
Shit im a baka
Meant 4>>82738227

>>82738032 (OP)
I hate this psyop.
Nothing should ever be taken easy.
Everything is hard and everything will always be hard and that's life nothing good comes easy ever

typed this up earlier but the thread died before i could post. so ill leave it here now and go back to bed, good night everyone

>>82719795
>it's embarrassing
i won't pry then if you'd rather keep it to yourself, no worries
>I regret not doing more
when you're depressed you're restless yet have no energy, so you start to feel shame eventually because nothing gets done. it's a vicious cycle. it's hard to break out of that state, so don't beat yourself up over it too much. there's always your next school break, right?
what hobbies did you get into?
>Vegas
ive always been curious to play in a casino. they have them in my state but you have to be 21+ to play so i've yet to go. the closest i've gotten to it was playing on a video blackjack machine in a gas station a few years ago. you could only win store credit though and bet min $1 and max $5, so nothing crazy. i used to play there after school sometimes if my dad didn't show up on time to pick me up, it was before i learned to drive. fun times
>other gambling games?
yeah if you're scared of losing money i would say avoid it all together, it'll happen eventually. and never bet more than what you're willing to lose ofc. i like having the mind set of money bet is money already lost
other than poker i like blackjack, craps and dominoes. i've only played with friends and family. i hope it doesn't sound like im some kind of gambling addict haha, i don't play that often. i don't like gacha so can't say much about it. closest i could say i got to that is the ptcg, i would buy packs casually. pokenormies suddenly joining in-mass and scalpers drove me out of the hobby though
>could make it a habit
it's never too late to start!
>Do you usually keep your room clean?
i try to. but sometimes i get lazy. i do make my bed every morning, it's a good habit to have
>>82720106
>Had some more horrifying ideas, perfect for the spooky season too
do tell haha. do you do anything special for halloween or do you treat it as just another day?

>>82738509
>>82719229
>how many essays did u write?
just three more, ill likey be writing more later. i was originally going to start school in spring of 2026 but i deferred it to fall instead so there's plenty of time to do more. i move out in next year's summer though
>play is blackjack
blackjack is pretty fun. do you tend to win a lot or are you unlucky?
>spoiler
poker?
>did u get moar moneys? Or less?
less unfortunately. don the con slashed our food stamps... it's frustrating but not much i can do about it other than work with what i got
>>82719651
>degenerate gambler
real recognizes real
>Are you still searching for more
more never hurts. i want to do as many as i can
>The question is if I'll put a daki cover on it and, if so, who?
i was thinking more of one of those tube ones for support but i suppose that works, i doubt it's any different
wouldn't an eiki cover make the most sense? what do you think?
>>82732293
that sucks! ive bruised my ribs before too, it's such a pain to deal with. idk if you'll see this but make sure you're icing it if you aren't (cold showers are great too) and if you feel phlegm building gently cough it out if you can so that you don't get an infection. if you feel like you can do it, try taking brief walks and gently stretching every now and again too. hope you manage to get lots of rest, get well soon!

>>82738246
but it's nice taking it easy!
> i was originally going to start school in spring of 2026 but i deferred it to fall instead
how come?
> i move out in next year's summer though
does ur fren have a big appartment?
>poker?
yeah!
>less unfortunately. don the con slashed our food stamps... it's frustrating but not much i can do about it other than work with what i got
that sucks!
that means you'll have 2 work moar and u'll have less time 2 take it easy :(
pls don't overwork urself
by the way i have quite enjoyed the songs u sent me. Got any more?

>>82738561

>>82738032 (OP)
I've attacked 2 separate people, one with a wrench that i turned into a Morningstar and one with a screwdriver, held to the jugular. My week has been going pretty fucking awfully.

Greetings
I had a good time last week. This week seems different. I wanted to tell you, today I saw my clothes hanging in my closet and they appeared to be very old fashioned and ugly too. I was thinking of getting a job so I can buy new clothes and accomplishing my goals in the process.

>>82738613
y did u attack them?
>>82738757
what's wrong with ur clothiers?
old fashioned isn't necessarily bad
r u having a good time this week anyway?
what sort of job r u looking 4?

>>82738823
Scum, Wifebeating scum, Deserved it. Don't expect anything in return, have audio I can play if the police come.

>>82738857
How did u know they were wife beating scum?

Had an early night last night, and then a nap earlier this morning. I feel very well rested. I must have really needed that.

>>82738246
Taking it easy is the secret to my success. Taking it hard causes death, war, and famine.

>>82738524
Have a good snooze.
>real recognizes real
Touche.
>more never hurts. i want to do as many as i can
You need to go for the scattershot approach, really. The more obscure the better, especially if it only exists as a mailing address with no internet presence.
>wouldn't an eiki cover make the most sense? what do you think?
It would, I'm not really sure who else I'd get on it. Maybe one with Eiki on one side and Komachi on the other.

>>82738757
Good luck with the job hunt!

>>82738857
Good luck with the man hunt!

>>82739260
>Had an early night last night, and then a nap earlier this morning. I feel very well rested. I must have really needed that.
What's the hooligan plan 2day?

>>82739099
Audio. Wear a plated jacket so I'm stab proof. Hunt begins again. Should['t have called her a bitch to my face and would have kept temper.

>>82739877
>What's the hooligan plan 2day?
Reading and writing. Need to get back to the grindstone.
I just got back from the mall where I got some stationary and a grilled cheese.

>>82739904
What r u gonna do once the hunt is over?
>>82740524
Grilled cheese is nise, but i think its's nicer if u make it urself!
What r u gonna work on 2day?

>>82738032 (OP)
So far, so good. I've been taking it as easily as I can so far too B^).
>>82738509
>do tell haha.
>B^) Well, one idea I had more recently was around having something like a cyborg, but the reverse of what people expect. Instead of the brain being, well, a brain and the body being augmented with mechanical it bits it was going to be the inverse. The body is largely normal, flesh and bone, but most of the brain(brain stem, hypothalamus and pituitary glands remain) was replaced with a kind of computer. You'd also need a good power source and the idea I came up with to avoid the issue of needing to remote charge it(alternating magnetic fields aren't very good and also the devices would be conspicuous) was to have engineered tissue that would produce an electrical charge. Think electric eels, but with that tissue tucked away either as part of the synthetic brain with blood flowing through to supply it or elsewhere in the body and connected up to the brain. The blood flowing through the brain though could also be used for cooling, somewhat.

The main issue is with power consumption, as flesh brains are actually incredibly power efficient for their workings. It'd make the one Cold War concept of a spy cat actually viable, as one thing. Beyond that though it'd make for good spy movie stuff and I had ideas about a tyrannical overlord who rules over a feudal, medieval world where he has his own guards that have similar imparts as well as various mythical beasts and special agents he uses to watch over the realm.
>>82721574
>we must break god's rules then
B^) already ahead of you. I have no idea where to begin though.
>will u b getting eu5 when it comes out?
Of course, already sunk thousands of hours into EU4, so it only makes sense.
>what kind of r9k do u envision?
One where people are less focused on talking about sex or e-whores

cont, picrel is a madtom

>>82726569
>Mine too ! I love rewatching it from time to time. My love for whales definitely somewhat took root because of (our beloved) David Attenborough
He's got such a wonderful narration voice. I can't believe it was used for the Codex Pajeet videos either B^). Don't look them up, it's full of gross and horrifying shit from India. He's actually had an ancient cnidarian(presumed at least) named after him too! The translation of its taxonomic name is "Attenborough's Dawnlight"

>Well, one idea I had more recently was around having something like a cyborg, but the reverse of what people expect. Instead of the brain being, well, a brain and the body being augmented with mechanical it bits it was going to be the inverse.
isn't that basically a terminator?
>So far, so good. I've been taking it as easily as I can so far too B^).
that's great! Keep at it!
>B^) already ahead of you. I have no idea where to begin though.
we gotta use our brains!!! And maybe a bit of occult
ask some demons 4 help!
>Of course, already sunk thousands of hours into EU4, so it only makes sense.
I plan 2 geddit myself
quite a shame rly, i will have 2 wait 4 my favourite mods 2 come out again
and that will take a while...
>One where people are less focused on talking about sex or e-whores
would u prefer it if they took it easy?

>>82742038
>isn't that basically a terminator?
Kind of, but he was just a skin suit with a robot inside. This would be something that eats, drinks and has all of the same issues that a regular human does. If you cut him, he still bleeds red.
>that's great! Keep at it!
I got this B^).
>we gotta use our brains!!! And maybe a bit of occult
>ask some demons 4 help!
See, I'd figure there has to be some weird stuff with the Casimir effect. That or maybe there could be some insane, unknown physics to be found out with extremely powerful magnetic fields or extremely high voltages. There is very likely the possibility that our reality can't truly be altered, sadly enough.

If only demons were real though, it'd make things more fun ):
>quite a shame rly, i will have 2 wait 4 my favourite mods 2 come out again
Shouldn't take too long, so many people are excited about EU5 and all. I'd say just a few months after it comes out and most mods will have a port or two out for public use.
>would u prefer it if they took it easy?
Of course, although just having them get their minds off of all of that would help immensely in that way. One can dream.

>>82741107
>but i think its's nicer if u make it urself!
I'll make a good one one day. For now this is my best option here.
>What r u gonna work on 2day?
Reading the papers I need for my class. Once I've written the response I'll be done for the rest of the semester.

>>82742087
>Kind of, but he was just a skin suit with a robot inside. This would be something that eats, drinks and has all of the same issues that a regular human does. If you cut him, he still bleeds red.
what would b the purpose of such a machine? Servile? It would essentially b a human with lower brain function methinks
>I got this B^).
yeah! Have u done anything kewl 2day?
>See, I'd figure there has to be some weird stuff with the Casimir effect
eh idk
i think the Casimir effect is just a weird thing that happens, not something that we can utilize...
>If only demons were real though, it'd make things more fun ):
who knows, mayb they r real?
>Shouldn't take too long, so many people are excited about EU5 and all. I'd say just a few months after it comes out and most mods will have a port or two out for public use.
idk, my fav mods r all total conversions
those usually take a while
'member how long it took 4 elder kings 2 2 come out?
>Of course, although just having them get their minds off of all of that would help immensely in that way. One can dream.
i think eburynyan just needs 2 take it easy B^)
>>82742755
>I'll make a good one one day. For now this is my best option here.
y can't u make 1 rn?
>Reading the papers I need for my class. Once I've written the response I'll be done for the rest of the semester.
how long will that take?

>>82742786
>what would b the purpose of such a machine? Servile? It would essentially b a human with lower brain function methinks
Pretty much, that or as a spy. Arguably it could function better than human, brain-function-wise. The chips you run your GPU or CPU on are only 1-layer of transistors, transistors which are absolutely tiny. If you get over the heat and power inefficiency issues then you can make a computer the size of a brain that can handle far, far more computation than a human brain could. Iirc the frequency the brain operates at is something around 20 hertz, where as your CPU operates in the gigahertz range.

Also they could spy on people and as a story element you can always have the horror of knowing that the body of a character was then puppeted whilst their brain was thrown out. Murdered and then used as a shell for some machine.
>yeah! Have u done anything kewl 2day?
Not too much, just been doing chores and helping my mom. Did do a good bit of thinking though. How about you?
>i think the Casimir effect is just a weird thing that happens, not something that we can utilize...
My thinking is that it depends on how virtual particles, as described for quantum mechanics, can be impeded. The Casimir effect is implied to be related to those virtual particles, but if the field that generates them is essentially at the same amount of energy at all positions, but is limited to 3 dimensions like our own, then I wonder what happens when you have a box that steals energy from that field with something like the Casimir effect. Will radioactive particles end up with different rates of decay? Will the speed of light be altered in that space? Of course, this could all lead to something like the vacuum catastrophe :).
>who knows, mayb they r real?
But they don't have cool magic if they are ):, they'd be more mundane or synchronistic. I want fireballs and portals.
>'member how long it took 4 elder kings 2 2 come out?
I don't know what that is B^).

>>82742786
>>82742972
cont

I would like a full conversion mod for FO4 to New Vegas though. I heard ages back that that was being developed, but I assume it never went through or was abandoned.
>i think eburynyan just needs 2 take it easy B^)
Same B^). If only we could be so lucky.

but would it have self awareness?
free will?
Would it truly be human?
>Also they could spy on people and as a story element you can always have the horror of knowing that the body of a character was then puppeted whilst their brain was thrown out. Murdered and then used as a shell for some machine.
that's true. Sort of like stuff with the synths in fallout 4!
>Of course, this could all lead to something like the vacuum catastrophe :).
We wouldn't want that happening o_O
>But they don't have cool magic if they are ):, they'd be more mundane or synchronistic. I want fireballs and portals.
maybe they can bend reality? Influence quantum events and such? Who knows? Us teeny humans don't know everything yet B^)
>I don't know what that is B^).
elder scrolls total conversion mod 4 ck3
>I would like a full conversion mod for FO4 to New Vegas though. I heard ages back that that was being developed, but I assume it never went through or was abandoned.
this baka wants moar anbennar! I wanna play as the Trollsbay union again! But in 4k!
>Same B^). If only we could be so lucky.
i wonder y ppl like 2 take it hard so much...

takin it sleepy

kinda taking it easy after work
today was a day of massive struggles... not to fall asleep
too long on boring events with the people area's superintendent and listening to the same bullshit i've been hearing since i was hired in may
urgh.

turns out i really couldn't leave, for better or worse
my oaht cracks and my promise binds me, i must never leave other people for extended periods of time ever again, it seems

>>82744568
what sort of things did u have 2 listen 2?
>my oaht cracks and my promise binds me, i must never leave other people for extended periods of time ever again, it seems
in any case, i'm glad ur still with us!

>>82738032 (OP)
been playing vidya and reading manga and books I need to go look for a job tomorrow though anyway I love spooky month ^_^

>>82745220
what vidya have u been playin?
what manga and books have u been readin?
how goes the job search?
r u gonna celebrate Halloween?

>>82745405
I was playing castlevania curse of darkness on ps2 and I was reading naruto up until recently I was reading galaxy express 999 but sadly it's not fully translated so I started watching the anime and the current book I'm reading is vampire hunter D tale of the dead town, I've been looking for a job for a while but no one hires me apparently I'm not the only one having trouble finding a job in my city and I'm going to celebrate halloween or rather spooky month my way by repalying the silent hill games and watching my favorite horror movies and also by rewatching twin peaks (since the first time I watched it was on october)

>>82745799
what kind of game is castlevania?
also what kind of job r u looking 4?
r u enjoying the stuff ur reading?

How foolish of me to think I could get my loonix machine usable in a day or two... Now I have to deal with everything that is wrong with computers, from prehistoric font rendering to broken GUIs, everything is a config file, everything is a terminal, and don't get me started on the tranny dotfiles...

>>82713201
>what r u gonna use instead of bitlocker?
Veracrypt most likely
>interested in becoming moar competent
Well is your interest high enough to motivate you to try things on your own?
>is it similar at all 2 mysql?
It's still sql so yeah
>hmm like what?
Storage, adding styles and elements...
Depends on the webpage though, sometimes you don't need to use the API at all
>will u use react then?
If I ever make another script I'll try using it. So far I've only used jQuery or plain js in my scripts
>>82713395
>I was just too lazy to write and of the script or make any art
Understandable, I pretty much ditched my game at that stage too. It takes a lot more effort to work on the assets and scripting than to make the game mechanics
>Don't look up how much money that makes now
Gross...
>I used to buy large quantities of booster packs and sell the rare cards
You could've invested in anything, yet you decided to give more money to the bad guys...
>>82715391
>sometimes there are sacrifices we have to make
Is a middle ground not achievable at all?
Ideally you'd be doing what you like while also taking it easy
>depends on how I am feeling
When was the last time you occasionally were less of a man?
>>82718347
>the bernth/syncatto collab was my favorite of the bunch
What did you like about it more than the others?
>im not versed well enough on the topic
Me too fr
>do you prefer playing with a pick or with your fingers?
I like hybrid picking, i.e. using a pick and my other 3 fingers when I need them, best of both worlds I suppose
>math rock
I liked them, comfy vibes. Still trying to do the math though...

>>82745954
well there's three types of castlevania games the classic ones that focus more on platforming and the metroid style games that focus more on exploration and there's also the 3d castlevanias 2 of which are hack n slash games the one I was playing was one of the hack n slash games.
as for a job at this point I would take whatever, I never finished high school so my options are limited, I do want to finish highschool though it's actually part of the reason I want a job. and yeah I'm enjoying what I'm reading I've seen the naruto anime before but I never read the manga, so far I prefer the manga the pacing is so much better than the anime

>>82746178
>How foolish of me to think I could get my loonix machine usable in a day or two... Now I have to deal with everything that is wrong with computers, from prehistoric font rendering to broken GUIs, everything is a config file, everything is a terminal, and don't get me started on the tranny dotfiles...
what loonix r u using? Mayb u should use a moar user friendly distribution?
>Veracrypt most likely
how different is it from bitlocker?
>Well is your interest high enough to motivate you to try things on your own?
maybe... I just lack the creativity 2 think of what 2 try haha
>It's still sql so yeah
i'm gonna b working with oracle lator. Have u ever worked with that?
>If I ever make another script I'll try using it. So far I've only used jQuery or plain js in my scripts
Haven't u used nextjs as well?

hack n slash sounds like fun
i think i would enjoy that
would u recomend? Can u tell me moar about the hack and slash games?
>I never finished high school
how come?
>so far I prefer the manga the pacing is so much better than the anime
i have dificulty reading manga becuz my brain is 2 rotted haha

>>82746529
>would u recomend? Can u tell me moar about the hack and slash games?
yes I would highly recommend! it's one of my favorite games of all time and I love the ost, the level design is pretty lame though I have to admit but in these kinds of games I don't really care about that all I care about is the combat being good and it is good, it's simple but good also you have innocent devils (familiars) that evolve differently depending on what type of weapon you use and eventually they lay eggs and you can forge (breed) a new one and you can evolve him differently if you want it's pretty fun and if you enjoy grind autism like I do you're gonna love getting every single type of armor and weapon in the game.
>i have dificulty reading manga becuz my brain is 2 rotted haha
understandable actually I personally prefer to read manga because I can read it at my own pace I'm very impatient for any anime that's longer than 10 episodes I'll only watch something long after reading the manga first

what are you guys playing tonight

>>82747042
I'm going to play silent hill 1

>>82746529
why are you so kind to strangers on the internet? I've done some truly horrible shit over the last few days and I find myself coming here like you're my therapist. How about you? How are you doing?

>>82746641
>t's simple but good also you have innocent devils (familiars) that evolve differently depending on what type of weapon you use and eventually they lay eggs and you can forge (breed) a new one and you can evolve him differently if you want it's pretty fun
so it's like persona//pokemon in a way, right?
>understandable actually I personally prefer to read manga because I can read it at my own pace I'm very impatient for any anime that's longer than 10 episodes I'll only watch something long after reading the manga first
what about newer manga? Wouldn't u get tired waiting every month 4 a chapter?
>>82747780
becuz i wanna ppl 2 b kind 2 me as well
> How about you? How are you doing?
i'm doing alright! Just woke up now waiting 4 my online lecture 2 start
what about u? What r ur plans 2day?
>>82747042
idk
maybe sum eu4? Maybe sum vermintide... The day is still young, only time will tell
what about u?

>>82748164
Well, pipewrench chad here again about to commit another wretched hunt. Held a screwdriver to someone's jugular yesterday because he hit a woman in public. The fight never ends, but if not for people like me, nothing would get done.

>>82748164
and thank you, I appreciate you, whoever you are, for being the only person I've had to talk to through all this. Another day of vigilante bullshit begins, wish I could just die in my sleep.

>>82748513
>Held a screwdriver to someone's jugular yesterday because he hit a woman in public
didin't realize such happening were that common
>The fight never ends, but if not for people like me, nothing would get done.
what about when u will hunt down the jackal?
>>82748523
i am glad our talks help u at all!

>>82749035
You remember, eh. Yeah. The jackal. I spit it with so much venom when I say it out loud. Why I'm still on this mission is beyond me, I've long forgotten, but I am too far gone to stop now. People avoid me in the streets because they hear the metal plates reverberate in my jacket. I don't need the plates, i'm far bigger and more dangerous than my quarry without them.

>>82749083
Mayb u should just take it easy if u've forgotten?

My sleep is horribly messed up again but I'm not too worried. I'll snack on a nice cheese pastry I got yesterday.

>>82742786
>y can't u make 1 rn?
Still trying to find a good cheese for it.
>how long will that take?
The last one took me a few hours, so probably about the same. Although I have even less to write about these.

>>82746178
You should have known better than to use desktop Linux.
>It takes a lot more effort to work on the assets and scripting than to make the game mechanics
It's the part I was looking forward to most, I just didn't have any ideas for it. I need to sit down and make a design document or something before I give it another stab.
>You could've invested in anything, yet you decided to give more money to the bad guys...
Some of the cards had cool art and it was fun opening all the packs.


>>82747042
I need to sit down and play some vidya again. It's been too long.

>>82738032 (OP)
all the weeks blurred together this month, half the time i was too high to even know what day it was, theres a whole week of this month i cant even remember. lost my job and got a new one and THE SAME WEEK I started got laid off today (not my fault just shitty circumstances) so I took the night to get fucked up and walk around town stoned while listening to music. took two hours to walk across it. shitty ex reaching back out cause I guess her new bf didnt work out lmao. begging for me back after she cheated twice broh, been like 9 months. idk what im gonna do today. there is nothing to do really aside from sleeping. this whole year has just been depressing.

>>82738032 (OP)
I have no news, just surviving the same boring neet life and wishing my life was normal and had any kind of progress

Here's a picture of my cat mih mih on my bed

>Have u been taking it easy this week?
Think I got that front covered.

>>82749762
>My sleep is horribly messed up again but I'm not too worried. I'll snack on a nice cheese pastry I got yesterday.
will u go back 2 sleep?
>Still trying to find a good cheese for it.
what kind of cheese is best 4 a grilled cheese?
>The last one took me a few hours, so probably about the same. Although I have even less to write about these.
will u b okay if u write less?
>>82750080
r u gonna look 4 a new job? Sleeping is nise 2. That way u can take it easy!
>>82750100
ur cat has beautiful eyes
>>82750146
how r u taking it easy?

>>82750437
>ur cat has beautiful eyes
Thanks.

I been taking care of them well and mih mih is the most calm and relaxed cat of the two

There's something I have been thinking about

Will the world get worse or get better?
Ever since the pandemic happened, everything got worse than already was, the job market, the economy, the society, the isolation
I though the future was supposed to be much better, not worse than the past

I feel extremely ashamed that I'm already 30 and I never got a job or a decent job, I don't feel like it's my fault, I did tried my best and I did applied to more jobs than I can I remember, but unfortunately, they keep ghosting me and I did give up

It's even worse when you can't drive because it means I have to depend on public transportation and they suck
The problem is that I don't feel like trying again
NOT because I like the neet life, the neet life sucks
But because going to interviews just to get ghosted is a massive waste of time and money

As a neet without neetbux, I don't know what I'm supposed to do with my life and it sucks

The kind that melts well. I've heard Kraft singles are good for that I'm not sure I want to put those in my body...
>will u b okay if u write less?
It's 750 words minimum, so basically nothing. Unfortunately I'm too concise and take too much pride in my work for my own good, so hitting any kind of word count is a Herculean task that takes far longer than it needs to. It's not due for a while but I want to get it out of the way.

>>82750631
>Will the world get worse or get better?
I believe these things are cyclical. Things will get worse until they get better. Whether that better happens in our lifetime is a mystery.

>I believe these things are cyclical. Things will get worse until they get better. Whether that better happens in our lifetime is a mystery.

I hope the better happens sooner than later, the world used to be much better past, I refuse to believe it will only get worse from now on

Also, I don't want to die soon, I want to live as long as possible and still be healthy, but I don't want the future to only get worse and worse, I genuinely want the future to be better, not just for America, I want the entire world to better

I still want to see flying cars one day

Yup! Self awareness is necessary, same with free will to a point. Free will without influences is impossible, not even humans have it, but the ability to make decisions is essential in any kind of mission.
>Would it truly be human?
My original idea was actually to have them as synthetic humans in homunculus(stitched together artificial tissue, a body that was never born but instead fabricated) bodies. The brain would come first and they could even choose how they want their body to look :). I imagine they could be good lab assistants >B^).

Since they interface with all of our fleshy hardware then they would also be able to taste, feel, hear, smell and see as we do. If I was able to make them, I'd make them as human as I could. Probably without them having a sex drive though, as any babies they had would be completely unlike them. A digital equivalent would have to be done for baby making, where different values that go into making their personality/brain structure are mixed to make a new baby.
>that's true. Sort of like stuff with the synths in fallout 4!
Yup, except the synths in that game sucked B^).
>We wouldn't want that happening o_O
Yeah, it could be one of those great filters that stop ayy lmaos from being space faring and all of that. I doubt it though, we should see evidence of that if it was and the proposals for vacuum decay have it spreading at the speed of light. Our galaxy would be gone if in the billions of years before our existence any of the galaxies near us, or our own, have a civilization cause such an event. Alternatively it could be very local, like a big explosion. If it does really cause effects as far as radioactive decay and what not goes then it may actually cause something like a matter/anti-mater explosion as just about everything that's more than a proton suddenly explodes.

I think it'd be safest to test all of that outside of the solar system though B^).

Yeah, they'd also of course be able to get new bodies. However that same kind of technology would also let people remodel their own bodies. The limiting factor for people would be their brain size.
>i kinda wanted 2 b a lab assistant. Same lab fun but less thinking
Although from what I've heard the lab assistants are also made to do the more tedious work.
>i'm sure that wouldn't stop some ppl haha
True, if they feel pleasure from those parts then they'd probably do it out of boredom. If they can feel romantic feelings too then you'd expect them to do it with humans they were in love with, even if the act doesn't make them feel pleasure the act of making their partner feel pleasure would drive 'em.
>yeah the story was kinda mid tbhdesu

>>82758383
I think a lot of the talk with consciousness being a mystery is that it can't be very definitively defined. As far as I see it, consciousness is emergent when enough of the right systems interact with one another.
>that honestly sounds kind of sp00ky
You should be scared! Furries won't need fursuits anymore.
>okay maybe i don't want 2 b a lab assistant then haha
kek, at least a lot of the tedium of lab work isn't very intensive.
>so u'd give em emoitons then?
Of course, emotions are essential to our consciousness and to be human itself. The idea in science fiction that emotions can be gotten away with is silly and wrong. They confuse the loss of emotions with the reduction of them. Emotions themselves also aren't bad, like is also claimed. Emotions and our moods evolved very specifically -because- they're so useful in adapting to our environments and responding to it.
>what is ur favourite fallout?
Only played 3, 4 and NV but NV was my favorite. I do have 1 & 2 but I haven't gotten to them yet. I did love Underrail though which is apparently quite a bit like 1 & 2.

>>82758618
Well, you never know. No AI currently out there has tried to implement all of the known facets of our minds. It could be the case that even if you integrate everything that consciousness just doesn't emerge. I don't think that's likely though.
>we would give them 2 much power!
It's okay, they're not the ones you should be afraid of. You should be afraid of the troons who want to become demonic hermaphrodites or the people who want to become 12 foot tall monstrosities. :)
>would u b a lab assistant?
I mean, if I had to in order to do my own experiments. I have far too much that I want to do though, I can't just be put into a lab that I could use to accomplish those things and be forced to just do the bidding of someone else. I'd go crazy.
>sometimes it feels like life would b so much better without them...
Nah, life would be empty without them. You'd be an automaton with no direction, no directive and no drive. We dislike the pain, but the pain is a disincentive for us against certain actions. Incentives and disincentives are necessary for us to establish a direction in our lives or a purpose for them. Without emotions you would be hollow and if you must still perform tasks then you'd be little more than a slave to whoever directs you.
>I would play new vegas but the game is region locked. I can't get the international version on steam

So far so good on my day, only been awake for like 3 hours though. Neck hurts though.

I read a study a while ago that said that people online tend to change their behaviour somewhat to act more like whatever avatar they're using. Do you think that's the case here?

Since I'm not acting like a snail, I don't think so. I'd figure people just pick avatars that resonate with them anyhow.

Situation escalated. Had a knife pulled on me. Had him disarmed in seconds and crocodile rolled him with scissors pressed to his temple. Got the look again, the look of absolute horror someone gets when they are about to die. Still haven't broken UK law.

As a 6'3" tall guy who people apparently get intimidated and scared by, no. I'd just want to remain youthful. I wouldn't even mind being shorter, as long as I could be stronger than I am now whilst doing so. Having skin that's bulletproof and bones that can withstand gargantuan forces would be ideal B^).
>what is ur ideal scientific position then?
Independent researcher B^). The assistants would just help me out in the lab and of course with their own bits of knowledge. I could have them research and focus on certain topics to broaden the knowledge base of the whole lab.
>do u think vulcans still have emotions then?
Of course, didn't they have some emotional responses in the series? I've never seen Star Trek but anything even remotely human is going to have emotions, the best I'd say is they just have something more akin to a flat affect or are less volatile. Probably having less desires too.

bought some sosig, tomato sauce, and 'dog buns, just cooked up something simple and it was quite tasty... but i forgot the potato sticks so i'll fix that today

i say "quit" because you're here forever, the chan still follows him through me, kek

you could go visit that one place nearby that you always wanted to but never did, or that you haven't been to in a while (and let us know if/how it changed)

i mean they do have emotions, very strong emotions, they just suppress them. I was wondering if they suppress all of them or just some of them

>though i wouldn't mind being taller as well
Aren't you pretty much just normal height? I guess if people can change their bodies though then the average height would increase too... The new standard might become 7' tall men.
>ur brain would still b vulnerable 2 blunt trauma even if ur bones don't break
>unless the material would absorb the strikes very well...
True, although this can be remedied, albeit very invasively. The woodpecker has its own solution to brain tears and rips, behold pic related. The idea is that their spongy bone in their skulls is capable of absorbing the blows. Beyond that, a problem with the brain is the fact that rapid acceleration and deceleration can cause the brain to tear inside. If the brain was thus given some kind of elastic, tendon-like portions throughout it then it may be able to withstand said forces without forming tears.

For the Vulcans I assume it has to be most of them. They just seemed very non-volatile and tactful to me. Trying to maximize logic and reason.
>nah it's a different guy. I found the utuber but i can't find the video. He must have deleted it. A real shame, it was a good one.
I see, I see. Hopefully you'd like the one video I sent too.
>Do u think dark matter exists? Or is theory of relativity just wrong?
I don't think it exists, no. The theory of relativity isn't proven wrong by that, not necessarily. It can be purely a cosmological problem and not a relativity issue. I've also heard of plasma cosmology as a potential explanation of dark matter and energy too, paired with lots of unseen mass.

>r u not getting enough of it?
I am, just at awkward times and in weird phases.
>have u ever had them?
No I can talk proper...

>>82760727
Me too. I've got some ideas for who's who so far.

>>82760932
>someone from there invented the hot dog
god bless this person then, 'dogs are a great invention
making me want some now lol

>>82760912
>I gotta not make it not obvious it's me though
not make it not obvious, so you gotta make it obvious? kek
that's mostly my issue i suppose, difficult when most things in your mind are already what make you recognizable
i was considering some deep space drawing or something since i like it, or a black hole or neutron star, but too obvious as you said

>>82760932
p.s. relaxing is important for mental health too, so take a load off anyway and double down on sunday, i'd say

Had a really rough week desu. Spent about 9 hours in a lab every day. Today I jsut felt really off, cold and shaky followed by feeling like my body is burning up, also dizziness and headaches. Was pretty sure I had a high fever but temperature came back normal. Probably just my shit eating and sleeping habits catching up with me. Drinking some tea now and trying to take things easy. Ordered some pizza cause I cba to cook.

>>82760967
Didn't mean to make a double negative there B'^). Also you could always trip people up by drawing an animal. Doubly so if you then don't post any weeby music, they won't know who it is >B^).
>>82761290
Give me your chemistry knowledge. I require an oxidizing equivalent to sugars. Something soluble in water with a good deal of energy relative(when reacted with a reducing agent like hydrogen) to how much can be dissolved in water. That or just give me an organic chemistry rant. In return I'll give you autistic biology facts. Fair trade, no?

>>82761362
Equivalent to sugar in what way? Just solubility? What do you want to reduce or is that unimportant and you just want to generate H2 gas?

>>82761362
>you could always trip people up by drawing an animal.
well now it won't work anymore because you mentioned it, lol
also it's not a choice on music, post the last 3 songs you listened to is what it said

>>82761388
Basically I want an oxidizer equivalent for sugar in a biological sense, an energy source that can be reacted with hydrogen gas actually. I want to know what life on a planet with a largely hydrogen atmosphere might try to utilize to store energy in the same way that sugars are here on Earth with our oxygen atmosphere(although they do also use nitrates and other nitrogen compounds to react with sugars via denitrifying bacteria https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denitrification ). So largely it'd need:
>to be organic
>soluble in water
>large molecule compared to H2
>can react with H2
>preferably doesn't cause much of a pH change
I know life can react CO2 with H2 and also H2 with oxygen too, but oxygen and CO2 are harder to keep solutized in water. Malate/Malic acid would be a potential replacement for CO2 and plants actually use it to hold onto CO2 in liquid form as well, but that's the best I've got so far.

Also, as a token of good faith, a cool animal: Pic related is a kind of salamander known as a "siren", they've got two little arms and a long tail. They're fully aquatic too, although some seem to maybe come onto the shore for certain activities. They're native to the Southeastern US too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesser_siren
>>82761418
It could've all just been a cover for me to be able to draw animals >B^) Also, I see. The last 3 songs I listened to... B^^^^^)

>>82761442
>spoiler
and now you revealed your hand again, lol
but at this point, enough ideas have been tossed out there that the next one could be concealed quite well, so good job on that

also a planet with a high hydrogen concentration? i guess look at jupiter :^)

>>82761498
The more I reveal, the muddier the waters get! Also early Earth was thought to have had quite a lot of hydrogen. In fact, it's quite expected for a good deal of hydrogen to be present on young worlds, but hycean worlds( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hycean_planet ) are also hypothesized to exist and be very favorable for life. My curiosity stems mostly from knowing that life originated very quickly in the history of the Earth, if the isotopic evidence is true. That means life would've originated largely in that reducing atmosphere and LUCA, the Last Universal Common Ancestor is also thought to have been part of an ecosystem in a hydrogen-rich environment last that I remember.

Hi anon, my week is going poorly desu, same thing since a few years actually, i have no ideda how to get better

>>82761517
huh, very interesting
the concept of hycean worlds isn't unfamiliar but it's been so long that i forgot about them at all
all this makes me wonder if we'll ever reach a point where we can simulate a virtual reality and be able to see if (and how) life would appear in such a world, or why not

>>82761442
I assume transition metal based catalysts (Pd, Pt, Ru, etc) are not an option. Best bet for something purely organic would be enzymes like hydrogenases, that can oxidize H2. There are some borane compounds that can 'split' H2 and store it. No idea about their stability in water though off of the top of my head. So maybe borane based life forms?

>>82761585
I guess theoretically you could also just think of unsaturated carbon carbon bonds as potential hydrogen acceptors. C=C -> H-C-C-H
Those could also be used as building blocks in the metabolism of an organism.

>>82761562
What's goin' bad right now, anon?
>>82761563
Well we can always do our own experiments with adapting Earth life to those conditions too B^).
>>82761585
Actually a metal based catalyst can pretty much be assumed, life does actually use various metals in their enzymes(which are just protein-based catalysts that can also do motive work too). Zinc is a really popular metal that life will use for its catalysts, but even more exotic stuff like molybdenum(that's actually necessary for nitrogenase to make bioavailable nitrogen).
>borane
Maybe? I'm not sure. I honestly was thinking maybe some kind of organic sulfur compounds might be used since I can't think of many organic compounds that have lots of oxygens on them. I think that's because CO2 is rather stable, isn't it? So it's the preferred arrangement for carbon and oxygen to be bonded, right? If that's the case though then maybe chalcogens are a bust and thus may be ideal -- but I know fluorocarbons are rather stable too, much to our detriment with PFAS.
>>82761638
>I guess theoretically you could also just think of unsaturated carbon carbon bonds as potential hydrogen acceptors. C=C -> H-C-C-H
I think there are actually some organisms here on Earth who do that. Whatever it is though needs to be able to stay soluble in water so it's in the cells themselves -- although perhaps ammonia could work as a solvent over water. People have theorized about that being possible for life too.

What about chlorine-carbon compounds, what are they like?

>>82761648
Depression hits hard desu, rn you could say i'm kind of a hikikomori, stuck at parents' home, unable to get a job, no friends, procrastinating all day

>>82761675
I'm in a similar situation, but not depressed and I do talk to people here. You can at least socialize here, anon. Maybe that'll help a bit?

>>82761694
yeah thanks i'm new on 4chan actually, well i've lurked a bit but never fully engaged in conversations here

>>82761701
Well, hopefully you'll enjoy. Also lurking before posting is the proper way to go about things. What kind of stuff are you into, anon?

>>82761727
like, about my hobbies/passions etc ?
I'm a musician, frustrated about my low level despite of playing for about 10 years (drums and guitar)
I like reading, when i'm not too depressed to even open a book
I enjoy history facts, 3d modeling/printing, anime/manga, and learning about new things in general
I wish i could get back to being interested in all of these, desu these days i'm more like doomscrolling 24/7

>>82761648
Phosphor has one of the highest affinities towards oxygen, so those compounds might also be an option. Chlorine attached to an otherwise saturated carbon isn't very reactive towards H2 gas. You'd only get a reaction under high pressure, high temp or in presence of a catalyst Chlorine is a pretty bad leaving group. Byproduct would also be HCl so ph is going to go way down as reaction progresses.

>>82761750
>like, about my hobbies/passions etc ?
Yup! Also drums and guitar sounds like a fun combo. I wanted to get into drums before, but my ability to keep a pace going sucks. On history stuff, you and Kaguya poster(the OP) would probably have plenty to chat about too. He loves playing historical strategy games.

Hard not to doomscroll either if you're depressed. I tried 3D modeling stuff before, mostly for vidya development but I lack any real talent there. Have you ever printed any models for historical stuff?
>>82761781
I see, I see. Phosphorus being an option is rough, especially if it's the best option. Phosphorus may very well be quite rare in the universe and the Earth itself might be unusual in what abundance it does have. What about perchlorates? The problem is that it's an ion and thus has to be balanced out, but are there any non-ionic compounds that make use of perchlorate groups that you know of?

>>82761781
I guess dehydrohalogenation to yield alkenes and then using those as building blocks could be a potential metabolic step in an organism.

>>82761810
as well as all my other passions it's all just surface scratching tbf, and most stuff i print is fidget toys or gaming references that i find on a 3D model database, most stuff i model is for my parents' company

>>82761810
Covalent perchlorates exist but most of them are highly unstable. Perfluoro-t-butyl perchlorate would be an example of a 'stable' one.

>>82761811
Duly noted. Thank you, by the way, you've given me some great leads so far :).
>>82761832
Well a hobby is just meant to be enjoyed, you don't need to worry about being super technical or anything. Did you used to work at their company or did you just help them on the side? Also most of my familiarity with 3D printing is personally with tons of videos I watch on people making various weird model aircraft and boat stuff. This was a fun video I enjoyed, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6FMjOl0TRA

You at least enjoyed doing your hobbies before, right?
>>82761849
I see, I see. I guess I'm going to have to look into quite a few things before I go any further. If perchlorates were an option that'd be neat since Mars has tons of them from what I remember. However, at this point, I'm pretty skeptical on Mars having or had life.

It feels like I need to do more research into explosives for some reason.

>>82761648
lol true, but there are ethical implications on that i think
animal rights people will go apeshit, i presume... plus, a simulation of reality would be cool
but i think we need the theory of everything first, we gotta be able to predict phenomena after all

sorry this talk is much too big brain for me so i'm mostly lurking now, lol

>>82761290

>>82761562
what's been happening? Hopefully it'll get better soon!

I've purchased a bunch of stationary in honour of getting my own desk at the office. Now I might actually get some work done if I can drag myself out my apartment. Maybe I should get some figures for it too...

>>82760967
>making me want some now lol

>>82761290
Hopefully you're not coming down with anything. The last time I was really ill I ended up being bedridden for a while.

>>82761972

Not great...
>grated mutz is good 2
I'd not sure where I'd be able to get any. Maybe one of the big M&Ss. I think the one in Central sells cheeses.
>how many times per day do u sleep?
Twice, with a 3 hour gap between them usually.
>Idk if they would help me now
I don't see why they wouldn't.

>>82761874
Yeah i used to enjoy it a lot, desu these days it's more like a hyperfocus for a few days, or worse, for a few hours, and I get back to depression pretty quickly, i just wish to be able to get an interest i'll master and hopefully one day make it my job, as of my parents' company i have worked there for about 2 months last year, but I regularly help them on the side

>>82761957
At least with microbes, they won't really care. Honestly the kinds of experiments I want to do would make animal rights activists try and lynch me. However, I do have good intentions behind them. I don't think you'd need a simulation that complex though, you can calculate what sound should be like with various atmospheres and also you mostly just need to know the productivity and mechanics of their metabolism.

Also what's the harm in forcing flies to live in the hell chamber for science? :). It's for their own good, if you think about it. There are things that eat flies outside.
>>82761972
You must simply take it easy despite the lack of assurances! Sisyphus will be happy :).
>bellow average in my country :(
That's not so bad at least, especially since girls mostly care that you're just taller than them.
>how would u do that?
>B^) unethical experiments involving stretching and squishing brain organoids with various mutations. Essentially you'd be doing selective breeding but with cell lines. The brain organoids that do the best have artificial sex and their "offspring" then go through another bout of testing. I figure that you either make certain cells adapt to produce better connective tissue or forming themselves to be more like springs.
>how would u explain all the missing mass then?
I personally think there's a lot of large, dark bodies out there in the interstellar voids that we just can't easily detect or observe.
>>82762006
Well being so depressed is gonna make it hard to enjoy anything, so you should focus on fixing that first. I know a lack of socializing can actually numb people to their emotions and will generally make people feel more depressed, so socializing will help out with all of that. Also did your parents help out with any resumes you made?

>>82761990
>What's stopping you?
currently at work, i had lunch a little while ago though
got myself some pasta with a porkchop and a chicken thigh, been a while since i had any chicken

>were u working on ur master's thesis?
nah, just one of the final internships I need to complete my analytical chem. requirements. Thankfully was only one week.
>what r ur plans 4 the weekend?
Catching up on sleep, trying out some new recipes and just relaxing a little.

>>82762026
>Also did your parents help out with any resumes you made?
Wym resumes ?
>you should focus on fixing that first
Yes i'm currently on meds (antidepressants and anxiolytics)
Gonna have ADHD medication soon, + i'm struggling with sleep apnea,
I'm seeing regularly a therapist also

>>82762053
Oh, I forgot to give you cool animal facts also. Did you know there are four-eyed fish? Behold! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anableps_anableps
The bottom eyes look below the water and the top eyes look above it :).
>>82762059
Resume for a job. Or were you without a job because of the anxiety and such? That's a potent mix of drugs too. Has it been helping so far at least?

>>82762080
Oh well i was just unemployed after resigning from my studies, i didn't do the same this year cuz I was in the mental hospital, the main reason i can't get a job is because of my fucked up sleeping schedule, i couldn't get up on time to go to work, the meds have helped a tiny bit actually, i think it's mostly making me more tired everyday...

>>82762183
I see, that makes a lot of sense. What did you study before? My sleep schedule also is always shifting. Do your parents have issues with that? My mom complains about it a lot with me.

Also, since it's the spoopy month, a fanged blenny :). They have venom that numbs and sedates. It works like an opioid too, so it's being researched for future medical potential. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meiacanthus_grammistes

>>82762223
>What did you study before?
I failed twice in electrical engineering/industrial computing and once more in the same kind of school but less demanding
>Do your parents have issues with that?
Yes, a lot, they can get really angry and sometimes violent if i'm still in bed past 10am

>>82762183
>>82762223
sleep sched is easy to fix, just stay awake one day and go to bed at the right time, not all humans have a 24 hour internal clock, mine shifts about 10mins a day, 24:10, its a pain in the ass but not hard to overcome

>>82762275
Did you have an interest in either of those? Electrical engineering and industrial computing are neat also, although I'm usually more interested in biology. I'd love to pick your brain about either subject though if you're fine with that.
>Yes, a lot, they can get really angry and sometimes violent if i'm still in bed past 10am
Violent even? That's sad to hear.
>>82762281
Mine likes to shift like 20-30 minutes, but whenever I try to resist it then it'll snap forward some amount. One reason for sleep schedule issues can actually be from artificial light, namely blue light from your computer screen can trick your brain into thinking it's still day.

>>82762026
>At least with microbes, they won't really care

>I don't think you'd need a simulation that complex though
if you're willing to own up to the imprecisions, sure
but chaos theory exists so the longer you run it due to those imperfect conditions, the less accurate it'll be

>>82762308
Many things can be learned with microbes :). One of the coolest experiments with microbes that I know of actually had them evolve a whole new metabolic pathway to digest citric acid. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._coli_long-term_evolution_experiment
>are you bondrewd now? :^)
Many people have compared me to mad scientists throughout my life, and I do tend to be polite and formal with others. Maybe Bondrewd isn't a bad comparison... Although I don't want to hurt children or people. I don't plan to become deformed though, or to go through any body horror :).

Also at least for any kind of entry into an idea or subject, you gotta assume you're not gonna get it perfect. Besides all of the other scientists could write papers and get funding to improve the accuracy B^).

>>82761990

>whenever I try to resist it then it'll snap forward some amount
thats cause its easier to (over)stay awake than it is to get to sleep early, s why skipping a nights sleep works, its also used to combat depression (which can simply be caused by sleeping too much), i think its worth a try, especially if you have a 20-30min a day drift, thats a lot, the artificial blue light thing is kind of a meme, but you could try watching black n white stuff, my go to snooze show is the original twilight zone

>>82762357

B'^) I don't know.

I believe in you, fren. You do already have an admirer, don't you?
>what sort of bodies?
Like rogue planets and large asteroids and comets.
>if u were transported in a world with magic, tell me about all the creative ways u would use it
B^^^^^^) The interdimensional federal authorities would not appreciate my ideas, I'm afraid. It depends on how magic works though. I'd largely be trying to figure all of that out and how I can transform things with magic.
>>82762381
I'll probably be asleep in an hour or two, tomorrow we can go for it. Do you know if Eiki will come too?
>>82762391
Black and white won't work for the blue light, since white light on your screen uses it. Usually they either use some screen setting or they wear those yellow-tinted goggles. Also I loved the old Twilight Zone, but I haven't seen it in ages. I should pirate some episodes of that for the future. My method to go to sleep is not a good one though. I tend to think really depressing thoughts to make myself go to sleep. It works, but I wouldn't recommend it.

For depression though, another method to help with it is exercise. Do you walk very much as you are? Exercise will actually cause your hippocampus(the mood center of the brain) to grow in size too. A lack of exercise will make it shrink a bit too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurobiological_effects_of_physical_exercise#Structural_growth

>>82762281

but doesn't dark matter make up the majority of the mass? I don't think it would add up...
> It depends on how magic works though. I'd largely be trying to figure all of that out and how I can transform things with magic.
presonally, i think nuclear physics+magic is an underrated concept in fantasy. Imagine being able 2 create a miniature star with water magic or smth I would call it hell's artificial sun B^)
>I'll probably be asleep in an hour or two, tomorrow we can go for it

probably not. He said he will b busy...

>>82762307
>Did you have an interest in either of those? Electrical engineering and industrial computing

Yeah I did, i still have but the industrial part disgusted me, + the concept of the goal of an engineer wasn't in phase with my views anymore. I've gotten more socially anxious and self aware. So this added to me being depressed ended up badly.
So now i don't really know what to do, maybe something more humane, social or idk

>>82762435
most TVs have an eye comfort setting these days, it kinda yellows normal color shows, which you wont notice on black and white, turning off HDR also helps, and yes twilight zone is well worth downloading, lot of eps so its good to have around if you have some time to kill
your sleeping method sucks bro, yeah.. i find just having something to watch makes you think less lol, im not depressed anymore, got too busy and tired to ruminate i guess, i dont really excersize enough to say it had a positive effect, but that never really worked for me when i had my bouts, i hiked a lot but that just gives you more time to think i guess

Yeah, although there is some bits with plasma cosmology if that turns out to be how things work. I'm probably not the best to ask about cosmology though B'^).
>presonally, i think nuclear physics+magic is an underrated concept in fantasy. Imagine being able 2 create a miniature star with water magic or smth

>we could try setting up a game, so that it would take less time 2morrow? U kno how mp games can be, especially modded ones...
We can do that when I wake up, you should set up a list of what mods to download too. At least for EU4 it has mid-round joining these days so it shouldn't be too bad, especially with 3 people.
>probably not. He said he will b busy...
Oh, I guess 2 people :pensive:
>>82762545
What're your current views? I'd be curious to know what about industrial processes is upsetting to you. I usually look at it all as a means to better lives, but there are always environmental and other concerns. Would civil engineering fit in more with the humane angle of what you'd want?
>>82762547
Oh man, I haven't used a TV in over a decade. Just a computer in my little room and I can't really lay down and watch stuff on it at the same time.

Also hiking is great for exercise to help out with that, I'd say. Did you feel better back when you used to hike more?
>s such a cool experiment
I really do love it, I've had my own ideas about similar experiments. Some of them to even break the assumptions of the limits for life, like the maximum temperature life can live in or how small life can get. Another was for making life live in an osmotic hell-hole too :),

>>82762660

>I'll be stealing this for future creative concepts >B^). All of the nukes past lil boy too used explosions to collapse their nuclear cores too, so explosion magic would be a good option too.
also imagine making plasma with water magic!
Why has no one thought of this b4?
>>82763908
r u okay, yuyuko?

>>82738032 (OP)
I've been studying maths a lot. I have an important exam that it will decide my future. I think I'm going well.

>>82763908
And yet I thrive. Check mate!

>>82763908
the day is darkest before dawn.

>>82763310
sleep well ! and yea i like to write also ^^

>>82763908
i know things are tough right now. i hope you're managing to find the time to rest and to be kind to yourself, hang in there

I really need to sleep.

>>82762034
Did you end up getting one?

>>82762357
>have done any progress 2day?
A little bit. Nowhere near as much as I'd like.
>well at least there's sum structure 2 ur sleep...
It's kind of all over the place right now. It should sort itself out eventually like it always does.
>i think i am 2 old 4 it 2 have any meaningful effect on me
I don't think there's an age limit to this stuff, but it probably helps more when you're younger.

>>82763908
Hang in there, Yuyu.

U still have time! Don't worry, u'll finish it!
>It's kind of all over the place right now. It should sort itself out eventually like it always does.

yeah
old habits die hard and all
>>82765420
yeah i agree

>>82756160
this I think is junas.

>>82759991
this is eiki

I have other guesses but they are all i am almost sure of

Okay it's been 24 hours (I think) and I finally got myself back together mentally so reveal time.
>>82756431 Yep, this one is mine. Though I guess it was obvious from the start, heh.

Im afraid I will never find healthy love.

I wonder who's who

>>82764363
I had many weird dreams, but I did sleep well B^). What kind of stuff do you like to write about? I come up with a lot of fantastical worlds, but I have also imagined weird sci-fi settings too. So for me it's all fiction, reality is too mundane B'^).
>>82763908
Things do get better though. They get worse too, but then they get better. Life is chaotic, but hopefully not as chaotic as a lemming population graph.
>>82763976
>imagine what we could achieve!
I would honestly be more interested in trying to figure out how to properly fuse brains B^). I think intelligences aren't so easy to scale up with just giving them more computing tissue/matter. Instead form and design seems to be the best factor to mess with.
>right ur moar of a bio guy, right?
Yup!
>sounds good 2 me then
Gotta list those mods then!
>also imagine making plasma with water magic!
Or superheated steam! That stuff is dangerous and hard to notice in some conditions. It can be explosively dangerous too. Superheated steam isn't easy to see, you see.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9uvIhgVz04
>>82767793
I knew it B^). Also good to know that you're doin' better. What've you been up to?
>>82767867
Same. Try not to focus on that stuff though. You can't take it easy like that!

>>82759814

Don't humans have a hidden hivemind mechanic? I would want my individuality back at some point though haha
>Gotta list those mods then!
mind if i send u over them in private?
>Or superheated steam! That stuff is dangerous and hard to notice in some conditions. It can be explosively dangerous too. Superheated steam isn't easy to see, you see.
but it isn't as cool as plasma imo! U could basically make ki attacks out of those!
anyway how did u sleep 2day?
>>82767793
i'll wait a bit longer b4 revealing mine i think
how r u randal?
>>82767867
have u ever found unhealthy love?

>>82768701
I wouldn't call it too hidden, this board does regularly gripe about it after all B^). Social animals tend towards something like eusociality so long as being more social means better dominance either over other groups intraspecies or over the ecology in general. Humans have leaned towards both advantages for a while now B^). The only thing stopping us from being truly eusocial would be our reproductive hurdles, especially since the ones who produce the most genetically similar offspring aren't women but men. Historically nobles and kings and emperors had an outstanding genetic footprint in their respective gene pools and the lowest classes were always at below replacement fertility. When times got good though then that dynamic changed. Now it's largely the upper echelons of our society over replacement fertility and the lowest from what I last remembered -- and not for all nations! It's a mess out there.
>mind if i send u over them in private?
Of course! I'll have to check things in a bit, my hands are a little full right now.
>but it isn't as cool as plasma imo! U could basically make ki attacks out of those!
True, true. I have just the destructive weapon for you though B^). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lix-vr_AF38
Big plasma booms!
>anyway how did u sleep 2day?
Pretty well, but I had some weird dreams about my grandpa's house. Two separate ones. For some reason when I dream about his house I'm prone to dreaming about the canal system where he lived actually being a set of lake systems. It was really tranquil in the first dream though, calm and clear water(a rarity in Florida) with lots of sagittaria grass. Pretty setting too. Second dream had a sudden tornado though and the whole place was like a resort.

>>82762080
Thanks for the cool facts, fren.
>>82762357
> r u done with it?
Yeah, was the last 3 ECTS I needed in that field. Got some ecotox. and environmental chem. stuff later this semester. After that I can focus on organic chem. again.
>what sort of recipes?
Been trying to expand my repertoire in dishes lately so I'm going to try my hands at baking macarons. Also want to try a new salmon with lemon sauce recipe.

>>82768614
I havent taken it easy in a long time. I am trying to start now.
>>82768701
Many times.

>>82768819
Always happy to share facts, fren B^). Have another, pic related is a kind of carnivorous sponge. They feed by having velcro-like hooks on them that tiny zooplankton(animals) get snagged on. Then they engulf the poor thing and digest it :). This one is called a harp sponge. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chondrocladia_lyra

Well, feel free to relax and let things off of your chest. What do you like to do, anon?

>>82766773

Fixing your sleep should be your top priority given how much of an effect it has on your mood.

yeah, i can't blame u. I got a "massive" paper i gotta write this semester as well that requires at least 40 sources haha
>Fixing your sleep should be your top priority given how much of an effect it has on your mood.
but I love sleeping whenever!

>>82769432
>i meant like an actual hivemind! Like borg stuff yk?
Oh, I see. Not quite the zeitgeist then. Personally hiveminds in fiction kind of bore me, but I'm all too familiar with hiveminds in nature and they're overhyped. They usually suck with responding to novel stimuli and can also get into silly situations. Here's a nice example with ants :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mA37cb10WMU

The reason that's believed for this kind of thing is that they're following their own scent trails and at the same time strengthening them. They'll either break out of the cycle or die of exhaustion/starvation.
>when r they gonna start mass producing those???
If only... The guy behind the video did hint that he could make one with a quarter of a mile(about 1/2 a kilometer) range that was 30 feet tall if he had won the lottery. Maybe if he gets enough money and support from that video he'll do it. I can imagine something like that being used in a fantasy setting too. Everyone loves lightning :).
>no swamp puppies?
Well, we do actually have mud puppies but they're a kind of salamander. Pic related. My dream was devoid of fish and stuff though, just tranquil waterways.
>i don't think i would place a resort in a tornado place...
Yeah it was a weird moment in the dream. There was some wind and then a sudden tornado and I woke up as it was heading to us and we were trapped. Tornados aren't very common here, but you do get some during hurricanes.

sorry for late reply, got distracted and slept hard
>Oh man, I haven't used a TV in over a decade. Just a computer in my little room and I can't really lay down and watch stuff on it at the same time.
i used to be same, had a crt tv for retro gaming, but it broke, so i figured id just get a smart tv and join the cool kids, its nice watching a movie in bed sometimes
>Also hiking is great for exercise to help out with that, I'd say. Did you feel better back when you used to hike more?
mmm hard to say, different life really, i could say yes but i think it boils down to being able to cope with existential dread better? i dunno man
>I really do love it, I've had my own ideas about similar experiments. Some of them to even break the assumptions of the limits for life, like the maximum temperature life can live in or how small life can get. Another was for making life live in an osmotic hell-hole too :)
thats why i love microbiology, it really shows you the limits of existence, adaptation and diversity, like slime molds being single celled organisms, or the mega virusses you can see without tools, crazy shit right?
also loved how pylori was only discovered fairly recently because the growth media we use are too alkaline for it to grow, really shows you how limited our field of view is when it comes to nature, and now with things like full genome sequencing not costing millions, and big data capabilities its really an exciting time, i hope to go back to research some time, studies like sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666498424001078 really get me going
diagnostics is fine n all but it gets rather boring, the few times i find something interesting is usually bad news for the patient, so its hard to be enthusiastic about it
ok end novel, have a good day anons

Fell asleep and had a dream that I had to give a presentation about something tomorrow and hadn't even written it. Then I checked to see if I signed up for one by accident.

>>82769015
I look like this.

>>82769432
>I got a "massive" paper i gotta write this semester as well that requires at least 40 sources haha
I'd rather be writing that, honestly. At least I'd go a while before running out of things to talk about.
>but I love sleeping whenever!
Me too, but it has its downsides.

>>82770499
All good, I fell asleep anyhow too. Hopefully your smart TV doesn't come with any issues though. It seems businesses love planned obsolescence these days, that and subscription services.

Well, see if hiking helps more in the future. It's always good for our psyche to be surrounded by nature and to exercise. We evolved for over a million years to walk and jog for hours a day, now we just sit around all day.

I had no idea you were so into microbiology! You should've said so sooner! There's also bacteria so large that you can see it with the naked eye. Thiomargarita magnifica, which translates to "The magnificent sulfur pearl". They're bacteria that have converged quite a bit on Eukaryote features and have become massive without mitochondria! The reason for their size though is an internal membrane that pushes their important bits to the cell wall and also helps them store goodies. It's a clever trick to get over a lack of mitochondria, seeing as the square cube law hinders them otherwise with ATP synthesis being required at the cell's surface.

Hope you have a good day too! Also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thiomargarita_magnifica
I'll have more microbe neatness for you next time B^).
>>82770606
Is this what happens when you must consume the last crumbs on the plate? That's kind of what Melibe do, the other seaslugs with a big oral hood. Here's a video of one kind of melibe sea slug: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAle2HPkXcw

Yeah, they should do better but hiveminds and social groups run into issues. Hiveminds are susceptible to total catastrophe in the event of infiltration, which is why I'm not too impressed by them.
>what could u do with such a cannon?
Have lots of fun :)
>i forget have u actually seen a swamp puppy b4?
Sadly nope.
>spoiler
Nope, no one tries to eat them either here. They do use them as bait in the South though, but I've never talked to anyone around here who did. They're rare in my area :(
>where r tornados most common?
In America we have this region called "Tornado Alley" where they're really common during some parts of the year. Here's a map showing it off.
>>82771649
Nice drawing by the way, anon. I have no clue who you are though. Chem anon maybe?

>>82771122
>It seems businesses love planned obsolescence these days
yeah, fuck, they always did, but the moneygrabbing marketing is so obvious these days, used to be lil shit like making moving parts, in a washing machine for example, out of plastic that becomes brittle over time, so they can kinda set a life expectancy for the appliance, but gawd, im looking for a new (used) car, and the few options ive looked at all had subscription shit for the navigation etc, not gonna pay goddamn 350 euros a year to keep my nav current when google does it for free, you know, ooph.. shit like this will give me an ulcer if i dwell on it
>I had no idea you were so into microbiology! You should've said so sooner!
hah, sorry, yeah, also its mushroom season, best time o year, though for some odd reason my area has been fucking barren besides the common boletes and such, hope it picks up some
>There's also bacteria so large that you can see it with the naked eye.
hah, yeah, when i do gram coloring on samples (rarely) its such a magical thing, can kinda see what you got on the slide before even using the microscope, i make kind of a guessing game of it, work used to be more fun with diff plates n such, but now its mostly just feeding it into the machine and seeing what data rolls out

just reflecting on things really. Hand I could have played better. Things that were fucked to begin with. Realizing it doesn't matter cause the sum of the outcomes is what I am either way.

>>82772097
There needs to be something of a shift in the economy to address all of the planned obsolescence. I fully welcome it. I know if I ever get my own place and enough money to mess around with then I'm gonna make really durable stuff.
>hah, sorry, yeah, also its mushroom season, best time o year, though for some odd reason my area has been fucking barren besides the common boletes and such, hope it picks up some
Man, I wish there were nice mushrooms I could find around here. We have chanterelles and stuff but I've never seen them. Just poisonous mushrooms and one time a cool coral fungus. Tiny thing.
>hah, yeah, when i do gram coloring on samples (rarely) its such a magical thing, can kinda see what you got on the slide before even using the microscope, i make kind of a guessing game of it, work used to be more fun with diff plates n such, but now its mostly just feeding it into the machine and seeing what data rolls out
You're making me really excited here, anon. You're telling me you have access to some nice equipment, huh? Hmm... Would you like to handle potentially poisonous salt mixtures for science? :)
>will check this out when i come home, good stuff, always nice to hear someone excited about microbiology :p
Hell yeah, also for another bit of microbial lore, a giant amoeba that seems to steal spicules from carnivorous sponges so it can do the same thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiculosiphon_oceana

Hmm... Not really. I'm sure Carl would be happy to hear that :).
>>82772538
I like your guesses, anon.

taking it easy on my day off
watched fren play outer wilds a bit and it makes me so nervous when he tries to maneuver around brittle hollow because he keeps falling into the black hole lmao
fucking hell...

tonight i gotta make my baked tilapia with mashed potatoes for the week
wonder what i should cook up next week...

>>82772961
Black holes are meant to be fallen into :). Also tilapia is good stuff. Enjoy the food and day off o7

>>82773042
>Black holes are meant to be fallen into :)
not this one, lol
the black hole in outer wilds behaves like a wormhole, since there's a white hole at the edge of the solar system and you're spat out from there, no tidal forces, no spacetime distortions, nothing

>tilapia is good stuff.
it fucking is
i kinda do wish i went with this cheap salmon i found the other day but i already bought the tilapia by then so...
maybe next time
though i really should buy a pressure cooker too so i can make some ribs with watercress... or maybe shank, i haven't had shank in a while, come to think of it
i'll see if i can find a cooker that'll arrive by this week, lol

>>82773237
I see, I see. Also how can you say it's not meant to be fallen in? It's like a cosmic slip 'n slide :)

Ribs and shank are also very good. I haven't had ribs in forever. Meat is always good though :). Flesh sustains me. If it were not for my weak kidneys then I would eat only flesh. Sadly I am susceptible to protein poisoning.
For now it is time for me to sleep.

>>82772613
I sometimes wonder how my life would be if I did stuff differently but I don't think it's very helpful to do that for the same reasons. Better to focus on the life you have now than the one you don't.

>>82772923
>I'm sure Carl would be happy to hear that :).
He would. He always seem sceptical over things existing just to be part of the food chain. Why can't they just eat something else?

>>82773294
>spoiler
it's annoying, you're trying to explore peacefully and just fall in there and like, man
terrible, especially if the sun is red

>I haven't had ribs in forever.
make some whenever you can then
if you got a pressure cooker then you can put them in with some water and seasoning, onion and garlic, pressure cook it until they're soft (i tend to do 30-40 min)
then just add the potatoes and watercress and cook for another 10-15 min (but not on pressure), fix the salt and tada
accompany with rice and enjoy

have a good night anon, sweet dreams and thank you for talking to me today

>>82772923
>if I ever get my own place and enough money to mess around with then I'm gonna make really durable stuff.
hah, yeah thats what i thought, i made some small furniture from wood rather than go to ikea, but bottom line was it cost more, was a lot of fking effort since i dont have the tools to make it easy, and it really has that rustic homemade feel i wasnt going for.. the wood looks cheap as well, cause it was cheap wood i suppose, nice wood is pricey man.. you know those resin tables etc you see online sometimes? fuck dude you can furnish your house with thrifts for the cost of the resin alone.. i decided the only thing im gonna make is a rietveld chair, and when i move into a proper place i'll make a shelf wall with nice wood, hate it but im not in the economic bracket to do this shit like i want
>We have chanterelles and stuff but I've never seen them. Just poisonous mushrooms and one time a cool coral fungus. Tiny thing.
getting a field guide for your locale helps a lot, with local foraging tips, i generally dont pick anything to eat
>You're telling me you have access to some nice equipment, huh?
hah, well, yes and no, im in healthcare so i cant really fuck around, the only thing i can freely use is the electron microscope, but its from the fking 80s and takes 6 hours to cool down to usable levels, and we're not allowed to leave it overnight.. i dont have much use for mass spectrometry or gas chromatography personally lol what are you thinking? salt mixtures?
>a giant amoeba
record scratch, yeahhh im not fking with amoeba lmao, they are fking cool, but literally my first week at work we had samples from someone who lost his eyesight cause of some african amoeba, savage
you know you got me wondering how you became interested in these things, its quite refreshing
was going to post a cool mushroom pic, but i came across this, no clue what it was but it was an old contaminated plate

I been taking my meds everyday, I take on the total of 3 meds, and I still feel depressed

Wait anon. don't you get tired? I'm gondola anon. I think I'm done making threads because the effort is too much. Sorry guys. I hope that I, at least left a good impression in the last weekends, more than that, left enough images for someone to take the mantle. I'll lurk but someone please play music and become gondola anon. I've become too busy and today is my last day:

He's right on that, but biologists love life so much and it's also an extremely bad look for them to say X thing isn't needed. That said, mosquitos that bite people aren't needed nor are the parasites they carry :). Some biologists(I almost typed 'parasites' there) don't even want to say that we can get rid of all mosquitos either.

The slip 'n slide calls, fren. It cares not for your consent, I'm afraid. The solar system has fallen, billions must slide.

We do something kind of similar to soften our ribs, just with the oven though. We add some ice and cook it at a low temperature for a good, long while and then pour out the water and season it properly. I fear what I may do with a pressure cooker if I ever get my hands on one though B^).

There are people who do still make proper antique furniture if you can find them. I imagine they're mostly on Boomerbook these days. Also speaking of resin tables, you reminded me of a table making video I saw a good while back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yUn2nMfuAU
The idea of using something like clear resin is neat at least for making certain designs, but I'm not a fan of plastics. I've had ideas about making silver embedded in gemstones though. All synthetic, but hopefully cool B^).

I don't imagine the field guide would help me too much :'), the mushroom sightings in my area are very low. I gotta go some distance away, I think.

An electron microscope is still cool to use! Also I've had ideas for some experiments to challenge the notion that microbial activity stops at about 0.6 water activity(a measure mostly used in relation to food). Honey has a water activity of around 0.5-0.7 depending on things, as a reference and distilled water is 1(the benchmark) whilst seawater is like 0.98. The idea was to use something like an ever increasing solution of magnesium chloride solution for algae to grow in.

>>82773953
Essentially you'd be breeding extremophiles in the lab. Multiple cultures would be the go to in order to inch worm to an ever increasing salinity. One culture gets a bump, if it goes extinct then you simply go back to the prior salinity and inoculate it with one of its cousin cultures. As for why it's magnesium chloride, that's the least toxic/temporary of the salts that I found from this pdf: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1002/9780470376454.app1
It gets well below the 0.6 aw threshold too and it's cheap. Bromide salts are iffy and microbes(life generally) doesn't like them too much. Caesium fluoride is the coolest out of the bunch for a super dense solution, but it would also be toxic. The hydroxides will turn into carbonates over time and the acetate is something that microbes would like to eat.

Also amoebas can be really neat :). Are you saying you wouldn't want to poke a pelomyxa? They apparently feel like touching snot though, so not anything impressive. Also is that a mold culture? I mean I can see what definitely looks like mold growing on the surface, but the stuff under it looks kind of more like worms, but that surely can't be the case.

I'm actually playing Kobolds in singleplayer right now,. Learning from my mistakes a bit, although even with my mistakes I did really well. I got lucky in my singleplayer though in that the gnomes attacked me and Kobold defense is retardedly strong.
>>82779129
But that implies you'd want to live in one briefly, is that the case? I'd figure out of curiosity, if I had to guess.
>do u enjoy shooting things? Have u tried making a tesla gun b4?
Yeah, but it's been a while. No tesla guns for me though, too expensive ):
>wait really?
>U live in florida and never seen a swamp puppy?
Yup, sadly so. I've seen plenty of gators, snakes, all kinds of fish and birds. Never seen a salamander though. Plenty of frogs and tadpoles, but no salamander, not in my area.
>what?! I thought they were a Floridan delicacy!
Nope! That'd be the gators, which are delicious :)
>r midwestern states dangerous then?
Nah, although lots of people see tornados there. From what I gather lots of people see them from a distance and enjoy them. Most people in that area will have basements to hide in during tornados too. Isn't Lurker anon from that area though? I'm sure she'd have better insight.

What did you dream?

>>82779324
That's good. Hangovers sound pretty awful.

Shit I forgot about the movie night. It'll be Drive (2011) unless I can't encode in it, in which case it'll be something else.

taking it easy on another day off
was supposed to make food yesterday but i slacked off, fish was still frozen so i'll do it today

also today i had a dream where i was visiting my relatives' place with mom, was watching some vids on their old desktop PC (which has long since been removed irl) and she was chatting with some other people there
i remember i cussed out because the mouse was acting up and she went like "gawd that's awful, anon" and i looked to my side and saw she was there with some old guys i've never seen before
old dude came greet me saying "so you're already an adult huh?" to which i responded "yeah, practically an old man now, even"
then i went fiddle with the usb ports to get the mouse to work properly and almost caused an electric fire (some plastic parts melted), woke up during all that

also, think it's been long enough
>>82756160 was me, and it was pretty fucking obvious from the drawing alone, lol
it's a very poorly sketched version of the compass rose i want to tattoo on my back

>>82777792
can't win against the loremaster, man
or was it lorekeeper? i forget now, so she gets both titles

good guesses from all of you guys though, this made me realize how much you know about me and how little i know about you
maybe i need to start actually paying attention to the posters here, huh? i'm usually so focused on reading the posts without caring much about who they're from, yet i can't connect the dots very well

well, the sun will take care of that as it goes supernova

>I fear what I may do with a pressure cooker if I ever get my hands on one though
those come with safety valves so if you overpressure them, they vent it all out
loudly, but safely
can get some tender ribs in less than an hour with one of those

The movie got encoded in time so we won't have to watch the Mario movie with Bob Hoskins unless you'd rather watch that than Drive.

Movie starts in about 30 minutes. Same place as usual (cytube). /r/TIEMovieNight

>Futaba anon has a miserable life and lives in squalor but he also has the most beautiful cats I've seen in my life.

Thanks, but at the very least my life isn't that miserable, it's just, I'm already 30 old and I never made any money in my life, I got ghosted in countless interviews, and I still haven't figured out my life yet

There's good things about my life, my mother is still healthy and loves me, I have my two cats I take care of everyday

Nice and simple B^).
>how do u like ur eggs?
As cheese-filled omelettes with green onions/chives in them. Delicious :). I haven't made an omelette like that in a long time though, I try to avoid being outside of my room.
>their manpower recovery is really cracked 2 iirc
Yeah, lots of manpower recovery but it's also a resource to build up your defenses so you either focus on expansion or turtling. Turtling early seems to be the best.
>u'd b right! What about u? Would u like 2 try it?
Nope! They'd steal all my secret ideas and do horrible things, I'm sure. I have to keep the most dastardly ideas of mine under lock and key B^).
>i thought gators were swamp puppies...
Some people might call them that, but mud puppies would be the salamanders. Swamp puppies is something I'd figure they'd also call them. I have eaten alligator though :).
>there was a tornado in my town once but i never seen it. Just saw photos. Can they actually grab ppl and send them flying?
Oh yeah, they also will rip homes apart. One must've been near our house during the last big hurricane because it ripped up so many trees. It couldn't have been a very strong tornado though, as it didn't uproot too many trees. Just the one in our backyard.
>>82779913

Stopped for now, but I was colonizing the analogues to Canada and the East Coast. The Bjorn fuggers north of me were also colonizing the East Coast. I will slaughter them soon enough.
>ideas r meant 2 b shared!
So what you're saying is I should share information on how to make various weapons..? Hmm...
>what does gator taste like?
Kind of like a juicier version of chicken. The ribs were different though, like a milder form of pork but with a slight metalic taste(which might've been because of how they were smoked, d'unno).
>scary... But basements r safe, right?
Yup! Sadly I am deprived of basements, but the houses here are mostly all cement based so the wind is less of an issue. Elsewhere in the US though they make wooden houses which are more susceptible to flooding and winds.

taking it easy while playing oxygen not included
man this new dlc (prehistoric pack) adds so much good shit to the game, so many more possibilities to make things, so many more builds to make
and there's a heavy emphasis on farming and ranching now, it seems... i do not dislike that at all
seems like the new parts are coming in handy now, this cpu is fuckloads better for playing oni, i used to get like 15-10 fps on my old base but now i get 35 ish at the lowest
definitely gonna do another playthrough now that i found a good seed to build on, i just have to figure out what to do about my water supply...
my only options are a 95c clean salt water geyser or a pair of 30c polluted water geysers, but the water is contaminated with food poisoning germs...
maybe i can do a chlorine room setup? hmm...

i want to eat some shank next week and that's a firmer cut, so...

>>82783134
>what r u gonna make?
i made that baked tilapia with mashed potato that i was talking about
turned out pretty decent, but not great
seems like i'm not that good at cooking with fish after all
the mashed potato was pretty good though, could use a bit more butter but i ran out, lol

>>82783460
I don't get the reference, but I haven't been on /b/ in like a decade at this point.
>also really, they sterilize things? didn't know that
Yup! Most life will die at the temperature it takes to boil water, but pressure cookers can keep a very steady temperature at an even higher pressure and thus higher boiling point. You could go for higher temps, but when you want to sterilize stuff like glass then to my knowledge you want to keep the temperatures consistent because glassware is more prone to temperature shock.

Also I almost just wrote a very concerning segment on bombs B^), I may be too sleepy. I'm gonna pass out now, hope you all have a good night.

to those of you who guessed mine or suspected it, what gave me away?

>>82741894
a reverse cyborg, that's an interesting concept, even if it's a bit eerie. the electric-eel-like power source is so clever! although it raises the question as to where "humanity" lives, the mind or the body. i could easily see this idea being great for a dark sci-fi fantasy for sure haha. how do you think a synthetic brain would even think compared to a human one?
what made you come up with this anyway?
btw, what gave you away, to me, was the ":)" after the "i did it" and the music was very mad scientist like haha. i was also looking out for metal songs since i think you've said before that's what you listen to

>big appartment?
she lives in a house with her grandfather lol. she also lives in a rural area, so it'll be just like home... but with hotter weather and more spacious
>yeah!
it's kind of hard to explain it. but there's some good tutorials on youtube if you're interested
but basically, you have to try to get certain "suits" of cards to win, but it's all up to chance since the cards are shuffled. if you have good suit then you have a better chance of winning, of course you have no idea what your opponents have. if you have a bad hand then you either give up early before betting any more or you bluff to make it seem like you have good hand
that's my poor undetailed explanation of it haha

On an innate level people just like collecting stuff, and trading cards have a pretty low barrier to entry.
I've watched this video on collecting a bunch of times and I just find it really fascinating how high prices go for stuff I've never heard about, and some of those are pretty outdated now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIzuV5p-maw

It's a pain but it does work somewhat (no money, but I got replies). Hopefully you'll have more luck than me. Include a self-addressed envelope with a stamp on it to make it easy for them.

>>82784183
It's always for the best to overlook these days B^).
>ah that makes sense, i didn't think of that
Yeah, boiling points are so very useful for temperature control. You can even use them in more industrial applications with things like salts and metals boiling at hundreds of degrees C instead of just 100. It's just a major safety hazard is all B^). Do you like lead or mercury vapors? I hear they're not good for you though.
>at this point why not just use alcohol?
>pressure cooker sounds so convoluted for that kind of use
I do remember for organic chem that one way they'll clean up organic junk on their glassware is to use alcohol and hydroxides, like sodium hydroxide. The issue with sterilizing things though is that a lot of bacteria produce really hardy spores that can survive the alcohol and even high pH or low pH solutions, but boiling them in water destroys them. Spores usually are designed to break down in water, although that can take a while. Heat things up and suddenly it doesn't matter if the spore breaks open or not B^).

They do also use flame sterilization for quick uses too, usually whilst they're being blown on by a laminar flow hood to keep any spores or bacteria from the environment getting back onto things. The idea is that you use a tool, like an inoculation loop, on a culture and then you put it into an alcohol flame. They use electrically heated sterilizers too these days.
>don't let the glowies catch you
B^) it's okay, once they realize I'm a NEET they'll just go away. But if they want some of my ideas for WMDs then I'd be happy to oblige if they pay me :).
>>82784861
Walking is good for you at least!
>>82785534
If I did, I'm sorry. It's nice to see you again, fren. Also as the saying goes "Linux is free if you don't value your time." B^).

The cacao tree's genus means "Divine food" and was named so due to its religious significance for the mesoamericans. Chocolate is divine :)

>>82785614
I'm afraid not, I'm not that familiar with what music people like.
>how come?
Usually I'd just make omelettes or scrambled eggs. I like the inclusion of cheese too much to just have plain eggs.
>iirc the dragon is located in the Not-Canada
Yeah, with one tribe that seems to worship a dragon. That's what the mission tree points to at least.
>with the right ppl, yeah
I'm afraid I'll never trust a hivemind with dangerous secrets.
>would u eat fried gator?
Yup! I've had fried gator tail, it was great. Basically little gator nuggets, or I guess tenders since they were whole chunks of meat. I had them at a fair here ages back, I highly recommend them. Far, faaar better than the funnel cake. They always have funnel cake because they know it'll make you puke more easily when you go on their rides.
>what about the roofs? That surely must b the weak-spot!
Yeah, they're sadly the weak spot here. When hurricanes hit a lot of roofs just get ripped right off. I've thought about having titanium or aluminum roofs before, basically just with plates. I've seen some houses seemingly with that around here now, but the wooden frames that make up the roofs are also a weak point, not just the tiles. Alternatively could build homes entirely out of concrete if you make them dome-shaped, or better yet I'd want to live in the ground but it's too wet here for that :'(.
>>82787278
Enjoy takin' it easy today o7.

Also I would say it's the mind that makes us human, or where our humanity is. I've had weird ideas about trying to piece together a person from just tissues, like a weird equivalent of Frankenstein, and my assumption is that if you can't give the constructed brain knowledge and memories then they'd be more like a feral child. Lacking in language, acting more like an animal.

>>82787278
>what made you come up with this anyway?
Since I'm a pretty reclusive person, I always figured that if I got the ability to independently do my own thing and live on my own that I'd go for AI lab assistants. The problem with them is that batteries kind of suck in terms of how much power they can store. My idea before on how to counter that was with wireless charging or having something some kind of connector rod going up to the roof to draw power from. Living creatures don't have these problems though, so why not have your AI pilot a flesh suit instead of a metal one? B^).
>btw, what gave you away, to me, was the ":)" after the "i did it" and the music was very mad scientist like haha. i was also looking out for metal songs since i think you've said before that's what you listen to
I see, I see. In all honesty I was listening to that music whilst actually imagining dark sci-fi scenarios. I'll have to plan better for the next time around B^). I do also listen to metal songs, but weeby songs are what I tend to listen to more so. Phantom Silita is actually a group both me and Yuyu like and here's a song from them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2dkzGTMORk

I made a new depressionslop/guyslop meal for myself to eat.

Yep, and my legs hurted insanely but I felt proud of myself nonetheless.
>>82789264
I'm fine, made some tea, waiting for drizzle to stop so I can go exercise. How about you Kaguyanon?

Another fucking morning, another fucking hunt. I can't let go. 40mg of medical grade protein and hate.

I just ate a sandwich and I'm barely taking it easy

My cats are up to no good as usual, mih mih is sleeping while Belinha is messing around, mom is worried that one of my dogs is dying of old age

taking it easy during lunch time
man, a tiny thing that i didn't pay attention to ended up causing a LOT of trouble in production when they deployed it last friday...
luckily i was able to identify it quickly enough and push a bugfix so i hope by the end of the day, the incident is resolved

>>82785614
>what sort of stuff does the new dlc add?
a bunch of plants and animals and their byproducts
they also added an emulsifier for mixing up liquids so no more making visco-gel or super coolant in the molecular forge
and they added biodiesel too so another power source for petrol generators, though i do wonder how many animals/plants i'll need to keep one constantly running...
i'll get a petroleum boiler going too just in case but for early game, that could be epic, lol

>>82787292
>what do the letters on the compass stand for?
they're the initials of friends i've left behind
it's a prayer so they never lose their way

on a side note, i've been quite curious on your notes/findings/thoughts about the other anons here, especially given how little i know about everyone else
one of these days let's have a chat, ms. loremaster :^)

>>82788932
>Do you like lead or mercury vapors?
metal gas is... dangerous, always
>t. had his fair share of troubles with rock and metal gas in ONI

>boiling them in water destroys them
huh, i see
well it depends on what you're sterilizing and what for, i guess
maybe there are some use cases when just alcohol will suffice?

>once they realize I'm a NEET
that's when they'll poke you, lol
tell you to go do a mass shooting or something :^)

>>82789822
>Yep, and my legs hurted insanely but I felt proud of myself nonetheless.
you should be! How's your weight loss progressing?
>I'm fine, made some tea, waiting for drizzle to stop so I can go exercise. How about you Kaguyanon?
drank a lot of tea 2day

>luckily i was able to identify it quickly enough and push a bugfix so i hope by the end of the day, the incident is resolved

what sort of byproducts?
did the game have animals b4?

I'll try to get an early-ish night tonight. I feel like I've been up for an eternity but it's only been 12 hours.

>>82789251
>how many words have u got now?
520 now. Not much more to go. Maybe I should shelve it for a few days and focus on my thesis.
>Hopefully they won't come true
Yeah it would be pretty spooky. I had one that I hope isn't an omen recently but it's too personal to share.

>>82789822
>I made a new depressionslop/guyslop meal for myself to eat.
What's in it?

>>82790317
>man, a tiny thing that i didn't pay attention to ended up causing a LOT of trouble in production when they deployed it last friday...
Good enough for government work...

>>82791239
>what was the bug?
i made a change to convert Date objects to Instant, but i assumed (incorrectly) that whenever these values were given to the conversion, they'd always have a valid value
turns out some conversions were being ran on objects that had a couple null dates, so i was calling toInstant() on a null object, so a NPE was thrown

>what sort of byproducts?
phyto oil, brackene, bleach stone, all useful shit
>did the game have animals b4?
aye, all are useful in one way or another, but this pack added a bunch of them, more so than other dlcs i think

>>82791291
>Good enough for government work...
man...
like i was told, mistakes are part of the game, they happen and are normal
what really matters is pushing a fix asap

>>82791291
>520 now. Not much more to go. Maybe I should shelve it for a few days and focus on my thesis.
that might be a good idea. You can return to it with a fresh mind or smth haha
>Yeah it would be pretty spooky. I had one that I hope isn't an omen recently
I wonder what it is...

I'm never holding up okay man
I'm literally a neet without neetbux and now this shit happens

You can't expect neetbux you have to get over your fear of ghosting.

>>82793742
Fuck no, it's bad enough I can't drive yet, but getting ghosted in countless interviews is beyond awful and a waste of time and money

I have better chances in getting my neetbux than having a real job

I just can't keep going to countless interviews anymore if I gonna keep getting ghosted in all of them

There's nothing you can say that will convince me to look for a job

I hope I finally get to fall asleep and never wake up !!!

the bugs are gonna eat me for realzies !!!!!!!!!!

How r u 2day, yuyuko?

>>82794948

i told you, you can't escape me even in death
might as well stick around, bozo :^)

>>82792422
>what language r u using?
good ol' java with spring boot
i just needed to change how jackson serialized dates to match ISO 8601 and Date objects serialize to a long which is the seconds since unix epoch

>what can u do with those?
phyto oil can be used by bionic dupes as lube, but that and brackene can also make biodiesel i think
bleach stone sublimates to chlorine, but can be used on hand sanitizers too
>how many dlcs r there?
spaced out, frosty planet pack, bionic pack, prehistoric pack, so 4
it's not so bad, i guess
they're cheap as well, so... well, maybe not spaced out but that one is huge lol

Y?
>>82795511
>good ol' java with spring boot

Soundd like a simple fix then!
>phyto oil can be used by bionic dupes as lube, but that and brackene can also make biodiesel i think

Y do u need hand sanitizers? R there diseases?

>they're cheap as well, so... well, maybe not spaced out but that one is huge lol
Which one is ur fav?

>>82796035
>Soundd like a simple fix then!
yeah it was, but it generated a pretty big incident in production
small bugs can sometimes lead to disaster, lol

>R there diseases?
yeah
food poisoning, slimelung, and zombie spores
back in the old days they'd be an actual threat, very hard to get rid of and deadly
nowadays they're more of a nuisance

>Which one is ur fav?
prob spaced out, added a bunch of new mechanics too, being the largest one
but the others aren't so bad either

>>82796035
so the bugs can be fedd

>>82738032 (OP)
>Greetings, anon!
Herro anon, it's me the anon who's going to do the calendar year triple crown.
>Have u been taking it easy this week?
Surprisingly yes, mountain trip postponed because two of my three living grandparents where hospitalized the same day, currently staying with my grandpa to help him recover and watch his dog as he's in an assisted living facility till Thursday, then two weeks of in home care, then he's good to go! he even quit smoking after 50+ years! and best of all, I ran 4.50 miles today in training! and made enough money to buy more gear, so I'm just on cloud nine, yourself?

>>82791239
>How's your weight loss progressing?
It's going, somewhat. Can't really tell.
>what sort of exercises r u gonna do 2day?
Just the usual speed walking. I discussed going to gym with my parents but haven't made any progress towards that.
>>82791291

A hamburger patty (homemade), wrapped in lavash and also add some ketchup on the meat before wrapping it up. Then sticked it to microwave for 40 seconds. Delicious.

U could buy sum dumbbells and exercise at home

Woke up pretty early than had a snooze around noon. I think at that point it's just called sleeping.
I woke up to at least 20 emails.

Yeah. How important is the stuff you do, if you don't mind me asking?

That's what helped me write the last bit. I get very bad writer's block, apparently.

That doesn't sound too awful.

Yes

taking it easy while at work
another boring idle day... at least the dream wasn't as boring
i remember getting in a fight with some woman over something, we seemed to have been inside a ship or something, maybe in a war, but the space was a bit cramped and full of sharp objects
we traded blows but whenever we struck each other with something sharp, it'd always crash against each other and fall out of our hands (e.g. a forn in my hand would knock a knife out of her hand and i'd drop it as a result)
but i managed to pin her behind me to a wall and grab hold of a knife and just stabbed her heart, right next to my own too (i didn't run myself through though), and went like
>just die already dammit
she eventually did and collapsed on the floor and i woke up, exhausted

>>82798067
>what was the incident?
you're running out of things to ask, kaguyanon
loop back to yesterday's post

>how come?
not deadly anymore, simply put
>what sort of mechanics did it add?
radiation, nuclear applications, and more complex space travel
also new asteroids to explore (regolith, superconductive, marsh, etc.) and more mats to play with

i bumped into her in a shop, the girl i protect with my wrench. I burst into tears like a little bitch and i've never hugged someone so tightly in my life. I felt humanized for the first time in weeks. I love her so much. For the first time, i felt vulnerable, like she was protecting me, and i cried. I don't cry often.

My job is finished. She is fine and the man who beat her is scared out of town and possibly, from what i hear, suicidal. Now I can rest. I won. Wrench anon won. I'm going to call the NHS mental health services today. Tell them everything, about the armoured plates, the hunt, all of it.

>>82799320
I'm glad it over.
>I'm going to call the NHS mental health services today. Tell them everything, about the armoured plates, the hunt, all of it.
Careful now, they can breach confidentiality for this and you might end up getting charged with a bunch of things. Also it'll take months before you can get an appointment.

None yet, but probably going to be a down quilt which will save 2 pounds out of my pack, then replace my wool clothes with down clothes which will save another 2 pounds, would get my pack weight down to 12 pounds total

>>82799386
I have my recording still, and I have enough body and facial scarring to use as evidence I was attacked first. Even if that's untrue. Going to wash my cloths in the bath now because my washing machine broke. I've been lost for so long, but actually bumping into her, holding her, made me realize what I've been doing is ridiculous. No more wrench, no more flamethrower, no more metal plated jackets. Until the next time someone hurts her.

>>82799421
I'm glad you can start healing, wrench anon.

The one I'm going on in about two weeks is to the Appalachian mountains to train for the Appalachian trail attempt I'm doing in 2026, which that itself is part of the training for the broader calendar year triple crown I'll be doing in 2028, doing all three trails individually during the best times to do them, then going back and doing all three in one year.

I have no ideia how the neets do it without being homeless

I'm a neet without neetbux and I been very worried about being homeless everyday

I can't believe neets spend years of their lives being neet without worrying about being homeless

just anon now, no wrench.

>>82801049
>They always weird me out
with me they make me sad, i don't want to hurt anyone
it's painfully sad, i worry about them, even the enemies
the only ones i kill with gusto are people who give me the evil/dark auras and who are genuinely evil or are actively spooking me, like nightmarish monsters

>did the devs change them?
yeah, not sure how long ago but by the time i started, they were already like that

>Tell me about the space travel
game has research going on, which costs resources and duplicant operation
some research unlocks rocket parts (cargo holds, engines, cockpits, etc.) and you build a rocket platform in space and send it off
you'll have to deal with exhaust though, often carbon dioxide but sometimes steam or even nuclear fallout (if you're using the radbolt engine)
game has a starmap and engines can travel X tiles for a certain amount of fuel and oxidizer (some engines use no oxidizer though), also depends on rocket height
you can find other asteroids or points of interest with other resources (hydrogen, gold amalgam, water, etc.

and if i do, i wonder if i should use my old or new name...

>have u ever played on the older versions?
no not really, like i said, by the time i started it was already like that

>is every single planet destroyed?
well they're all "asteroids", the planets themselves all got shattered in some cosmic cataclysm or something
the game is too goofy for that to matter much though, lol
