Yes, that’s the point I was making. Trying to make, with sarcasm. Failed, I guess. It’s stupid as shit to panic now and getting rid of some glasses won’t get rid of perverts recording in secret. Literally been an issue since the invention of photography.
Also, phones are cameras. And very visible.
So like, dumb people can think what they think, I just don’t have the energy to fight it anymore. Well not as much as I used to anyway
I mean… if they’re only now starting to notice and get uncomfortable, then, well. I guess just, good on them, for finally noticing?
It wasn’t the cannabis. It was “Went all day with very little food/water” 99%.
What you describe as your daily dose I’ve literally eaten for breakfast and then doubled the dose a few hours later, then ate even more. Jelly, not chocolates or complex edibles. And I made them into a drink first for quicker absorption.
I also smoked 3-5g daily during that.
It’s not the cannabis.
Hidden cameras and recordings have been things for like 100 years.
Edit and privacy law’s reflect that.
Also everyone is literally constantly pointing a camera at you in public with their phones. Public places don’t have a reasonable expectation of privacy.
Oooh definitely yeah, I’m not saying they’ve a monopoly on it. It’s just that I feel like no matter the assassination, you can use “fell out a window”, but it’s especially associated with Russia.
Trevor was streaming the night he died? Oh shit. I have to look more into this. But not today. Too munch excitement and not enough weed to calm me down if I go down that rabbit hole.
The conspiracy folks only real suspect is his friend from WKUK who lived a few min away and got his director dream job.
I could see this being plausible, with the caveat that it would’ve been accidental manslaughter than murder, according to all of my armchair experience.
As in I’d believe they could’ve got into a fight and someone might have pushed him, maybe even on purpose to a fall, but honestly, unless you’re pushing someone off at least like the 5th or 6th floor. What I mean is that a person might die from a smaller fall, but I wouldn’t be confident enough that they’d actually die right away, before being able to tell someone that I’d thrown them out of a window.
Because humans are sometimes incredibly durable. Especially when super intoxicated. Alcohol can protect from serious trauma in a couple of ways. I don’t remember, it was maybe like a “This is not happening” or something but some standup telling a story about how they walked off from the third floor accidentally while super drunk and actually had very minor injuries due to his body just not realising it’s falling and then naturally taking the impact, instead of turning in the air and trying to brace for an impact. (Or perhaps it was this qi episode I’m linking now)
There’s even quite a lot of science on it.
I myself pretty much rearranged my ribcage the other year, with about 2-4 heavy impacts which I estimate were about the same as me dropping on my handlebars from about 3.5-5 meters. I got an ebike you don’t need to pedal, basically an e-moped disguised as a bike so I don’t have to insure it or myself, which in retrospect was pretty dumb now that I’ve permanent injuries. I even broke the suspension on my bike clean in half. It had a problem before so it was stiff and maybe bent, but they still snapped clean in half, both front suspension pipes. It’s a wonder I didn’t hit my head. I was not wearing a helmet. I think I might have killed myself with poor luck. (Although I credit some ukemi training from judo when Inwas like 6, must’ve gone into my falling instincts at a young age.)
But again I haven’t seen any footage or even the building or whatnot. But just seems like a somewhat unreliable murder method, pushing someone out a window. Except they do sort of like it in Russia… But they usually don’t have to worry about consequences.
Perhaps if you smash their head in first then throw them out, but wouldn’t a medical examiner (not a coroner, they don’t need to be even medically trained, they’re elected) be able to tell?
It’s all very weird.
I mean, I take your point. But being not too far away from his age when he died accounting for some of the shit I’ve pulled in the past few years when I got properly sauced, I’m very much inclined to believe drunk shenanigans more than say, idk, him being “taken out”.
Ofc I wouldn’t be totally shocked even if he was murdered. Like during Obama’s admin, yeah, I wouldn’t have bought it. But post 2016, yeah, I wouldn’t be too shocked if it actually was a murder. Political or non-political, tbh.
I haven’t seen any pictures so maybe I’ll look into it
“oldie but a goldie”
RIP Trevor. His death was tragic, but also, not entirely unfunny.
On August 7, 2021, at around 2:30 a.m., Moore died after accidentally falling from the upstairs balcony of his home in Franklin Hills, Los Angeles, resulting in blunt force head trauma. Subsequent toxicology reports identified alcohol as a contributing factor.
Approximately one month prior to the accident, Moore made a tweet which stated that, upon his death, he wanted to be referred to as “local sexpot” in his obituary, which was then honored by numerous news outlets such as Vulture in their memorial article.
I would not have bought it, no. I don’t really buy games.
Also it was like 50-60 euros, that’s a dent in my monthly drinking budget man, I can’t take that. It’s like one nice or two semi-nice or three okay bottles of rum.
cope and act like piracy was doing them a favor.
It’s you who’s “coping” actually.
The EU commissioned a study on piracy affecting sales some years back. When it came back as “no negative effect, perhaps even a positive one”, the EU lowkey tried suppressing the study.

There’s the actual study.
And here’s the news about the suppression.

swore I was cheating somehow because if she couldn’t do it, a kid couldn’t either
because kids don’t read books like that.
School was kinda annoying with how it would punish you for being anywhere outside of normal. Even if it was positive.
This 100x. I taught myself how to read before going to first grade. The reward was being isolated in an empty classroom for a lot of first grade when others were learning to spell. Well there was one other kid, but she didn’t speak. She had been taught by her extremely strict parents to read before school. They had like 7 children and were horribly strict. This girl starter crying once when she got what’s equivalent to an A-, afraid she was going be yelled at at home.
There was a special class for anyone below average. But dear me, if you were above average no you weren’t, because that’s just rude.
Doing any work I was given faster than other didn’t result in getting more challenging work. It just resulted in getting more of the same boring shit I’d already shown I know very well.
I could’ve been one of those kids who go to college at 14, but nooooo. I just learned to avoid work and hide my skills
Me and my brother pirated it, loved it, bought it. (Especially because the multiplayer works on pirated version and very simply so.)
Piracy increases sales.
Remember the PS1 demos? Had I been of working age back then, I’d have bought half of them merely because I loved the demos.
Except if this was how it worked, then elves would be babies for like 10 years before being toddlers for like 30 and teenagers for 50-70 years.
A decade as a toddler? Nah.
I think it’s fair to say elves reach maturity almost as quickly, just age slower after reaching maturity. Same with dwarves, etc.
Fractions?
Fractions use a numerator and denominator (e.g., (3/4)). Decimals use a decimal point with place values based on powers of 10 (e.g., 0.75.)
So to answer which cookbooks use fractions; it’s American ones.
Take 1/4th cup this 2 cups that 2&7/8ths of a fl oz this and 1/2 quart of water.
So yeah. American cookbooks use factions.
“the conversion isn’t useful”
There no conversion going on. You can say 200g of flour or 0.2kg of flour. Both equally understandable to anyone who grew up with the metric system. Hell my grandpa even uses hecto- and deca- in everyday conversations.
Because if I don’t assume their language, they won’t understand me, as my native language is Finnish. When talking to or about Americans, I might add a bit of American flare. It’s not grammatically correct, I know. Just double negatives.
Also criticism and disparagement are two different things.
I actually went through the entire pdf. Didn’t read all of it, but browsed through and read the parts I though relate to this.
I can’t find anything about the metre ever being from “natural measurements”. Only that the people looking to make the metre debated the subject. But the metre itself was always based on the size of the Earth. But yeah, it’s close to a yard and a yard is 3 feet.
Ofc originally all measurements somehow derive from our bodies, because that’s the first thing we measured with. But like the pdf quite quickly says:
It is universally accepted that the first important stage in the development of metro- logical concepts related to measures of length is the anthropomorphic one, in which the main units of measurement are the parts of the human body [3, 4]. As the sociologist and historian of metrology Witold Kula puts it, “man measures the world with him- self” [4] — a variation of Protagoras’ “man is the measure of all things”. It is a very ancient and primitive approach. Certainly, even the first people who adopted such units must have been aware that the length of their own feet or fingers was different from their neighbor’s ones. But initially such personal differences did not seem important, given the low degree of accuracy required in measurements in that social context. Later the anthropomorphic approach reached a first level of abstraction, charac- terized by “the shift from concrete representations to abstract ones, from ‘my or your finger’ to ‘finger in general’ ” 4 [4]. Nevertheless, even when the stage was reached of conceiving measurement units as abstract concepts, differences in establishing the value of these units remained, depending on region or time [6, 7, 8, 9]. Only in the eighteenth century, with the consolidation of the experimental method on one hand, and the drive towards international co-operation and trading on the other, 3All English quotes not referring to English bibliography are translation by the authors. 4The earliest measurement standard we have evidence of is the Egyptian cubit, the length of the forearm from elbow to fingers, realized around 2500 B.C. in a piece of marble of about 50 centimeters [5]. 2 strong emphasis was placed for the first time on the need for standardized units
] one would still have to include an heterogeneous element, time, or what is here the same thing, the intensity of the gravitational force at the Earth’s surface. Now, if it is possible to have a unit of length that does not depend on any other quantity, it seems natural to prefer it.27 [. . . ] Actually, it is much more natural to refer the distance between two places to a quarter of one of the terrestrial circles than to refer it to the length of the pendulum. [. . . ] The quarter of the Earth meridian would become then the real unit of length; and the ten million-th part of this length would be its practical unit. (Ref [2], pp. 4-5)
Ugh I’m not gonna format all that. I’m not like trying to say you’re wrong. I’m asking you what you’re trying to say?
I know what you mean, but it’s still punny
