  • Where did Captain Planet go when he flew away?

    Jump

  • Captain Planet has to go off and use his prostate massager so he can bust so hard he’s reduced to his constituent elements.

  • It says “speaking in Italian” on my pirated copy.

  • I feel my life is empty. Is there any way to stop this?

    Jump

  • I think probably because there’s no sensory input and I’m just there floating in the darkness with only my breathing and heartbeat. It’s not like the whole time I’m in the tank I’m tripping, but I have had some psychedelic adjacent experiences. Not so much the visual and auditory hallucinations, but rather the psychedelic thoughts. Pondering the nature of my existence, fleeting moments of feeling cosmic and eternal, that sorta thing.

    I wouldn’t recommend psychedelics to everyone but I’m glad I’ve dabbled. Those in a stable mental state would probably have a worthwhile experience eating some shrooms and sitting down in the woods.

  • Do you know how to swim?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I was swimming as a child and eventually took lessons later on. It’s like second nature now, not knowing how to swim seems like not knowing how to walk to me. I can’t imagine what it’s like. I never swam competitively or for exercise, just for recreation.

    Jump

  • Someone once said to me that from a Buddhist perspective they’re not helpful because they provide a one time view rather than a continual shift in mindset.

    That’s true, but you can take that experience and apply it to sober life. You don’t need to take acid all the time to appreciate psychedelia, but a few trips help broaden the horizon so to speak. My memories of psychedelic experiences sometimes return to me quite vividly when floating in a float tank.

  • Is it possible to get/train a carrier pigeon today?

  • Encryption is illegal over Ham Radio in many jurisdictions.

    To be clear, encryption is not illegal per se. Obscuring the meaning of a message is what’s illegal. You can encrypt radio traffic if you have the keys posted somewhere so that anybody could decrypt the transmission. If you obscure the meaning of a message in plain English by using code words, that’s illegal.

  • Not that it makes the principle any better, but this legislation is only for the state of Wyoming. This is not an article about federal legislation despite what the poorly worded title and summary may lead you to believe.

  • It kills me that the CSB has little (no?) authority to enforce their findings. All they can do is make recommendations.

  • Our repair functions stop doing their job well as part of senescence. Increasing the chance and speeding up the development of tumors.

    Those repair functions working better than normal is one of the hallmark signs of cancer, specifically telomerase being reactivated. Senescence is anti cancer, not pro cancer. You know those HeLa cells that are immortal? Cancer cells. Having a time limit or replication limit on cells through senescence is a great way of limiting tumors.

    The two barriers to proliferation—senescence and crisis/apoptosis—have been rationalized as crucial anticancer defenses that are hard-wired into our cells, being deployed to impede the outgrowth of clones of preneoplastic and frankly neoplastic cells. According to this thinking, most incipient neoplasias exhaust their endowment of replicative doublings and are stopped in their tracks by one or the other of these barriers. The eventual immortalization of rare variant cells that proceed to form tumors has been attributed to their ability to maintain telomeric DNA at lengths sufficient to avoid triggering senescence or apoptosis, achieved most commonly by upregulating expression of telomerase or, less frequently, via an alternative recombination-based telomere maintenance mechanism. Hence, telomere shortening has come to be viewed as a clocking device that determines the limited replicative potential of normal cells and thus one that must be overcome by cancer cells.

  • Crisps.

  • Yeah topside having the seasoning is normal. Plenty of articles and posts about flipping the chip. Shit, it’s even in the official Pringles FAQ

  • Pete Hegseth's 'deceitful' hack to reinstate Fort Bragg's name leaves MAGA fuming

    Jump

  • Yes, I’m aware. The fact they gave it to a private who had an award given out 100,000 times during WW2 points directly to that.

    A private with a silver star is what you name a DFAC or post gym after, not an entire post.

    Jump

  • First base I’ve ever seen named after a private, and the highest decoration PFC Bragg got was a silver star. No slouch of an award by any means, but over 100,000 of these were awarded during WW2.

  • Mammals can’t de-differentiate cells back to progenitor stem cells, so their ability to heal is limited.

    Cells turning back into stem cells sounds great until you realize this is a major pathway for tumor formation and not good with our relatively long lifespans.

  • Always go go go. Never no no no.

    Jump

  • I don’t disagree, but I’m not going to do the fall back asleep thing in 9 minute intervals. I’ll just set a second alarm for 15-60 minutes later, or just forgo the second alarm entirely and pass in and out of consciousness for however long I want. I hate the sound of alarms, so hearing that every 9 minutes isn’t going to improve anything.

    I never hear anyone talking about how much they enjoy spamming snooze, only complaints. At least for me, quitting snooze buttons fairly early on seems to be a wise decision.
