／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
have fun with whatever you're doing theree though if you want to have fun driving that's your prerogative
Anno
Sounds nice I'd been meaning to take a day off for this weekend but kept getting distracted and never asked Though turns out the guy who works with me has taken it off, and we probably shouldn't have no one working this department for a whole day Buuuut I was looking at the timetable for the week yesterday and saw I wasn't scheduled for this Friday it's probably a mistake from my boss, but I could see if I just don't come in and see what comes of it

dang the audiobook i just paid for is up for free on youtube in full. maybe it is all just a scam.
..at least I got it nicely divided into chapters for me so I can track my place that's worth $17 /mo, r-right?

>>1067273 don't local libraries have audiobook downloads available as well? I'm pretty sure my grandma mentioned she could get those on her Kindle reader
>>1067273 A paid service also probably lets you download the audiobook onto your device so you can continue listening while offline And likely has a wider (legal) library than what you can find on YouTube

>>1067319 No No Though a kin of one so thats a bit muddy No Fun game, I'll tell you one day
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
>>1067320 I went through the character lists of every Touhou game after 10 and Sumireko was the only human character introduced in any of them.
>>1067330 Isn't that obviously more of a case of "properly hydrated" being very different from "sufficiently hydrated"? most people get by just fine
Anno
Depends on your perspective of sufficient The health costs of "getting on just fine" are longterm or less transparent Dehydration can reduce energy levels on a day to day basis, and long-term can raise the risks of urinary tract issues and various cellular risks
it's really that important, and our bodies don't even have a system to check it?
Anno
We kinda do If you feel yourself even kind of thirsty, you're already starting to become dehydrated Your body is actually very good at informing you of this, we've just habitually trained ourselves out of not worrying about it at the point we ought to And granted This is more like, "do you want more energy in your day to day life? Do you want to reliably live a couple more years in your elderly years?" kind of good health practices than "Do you not want to drop dead in five years?" kind of good health practices
I guess maybe that does go for most people, but at least I've always had a distinct lack of real notification when it comes to hunger and thirst until it gets real bad, I don't get a damn thing So I just gotta like, remember to eat and stuff
Anno
The main difference with food and water is, when it comes to food, with good routine almost anyone can fulfil their bodily requirements for food with consistent square meals Water is more difficult because we dehydrate differently day to day, so the way it feels changes day to day So the best we can do is understand in our environment, we need on average X volume of water a day to ensure we don't go too long dehydrated
how do you even determine the long term health benefits of drinking enough water each day? Isnt' that a long term study that's both hard to conduct in the first place, but also very difficult to verify the results of at the end? I'm not even doubting it's probably true, I'm just wondering about the mechanics of finding that out in the first place
Anno
Well there were a large number of long-term health and dietary studies throughout the 1900s, which tracked for long-term benefits and costs of various nutritional choices I could see that some scientists observed that in parts of the world with poor access to water, certain health issues emerged which could form the basis of a hypothesis And that could prompt a study of people who would go routinely poorly hydrated in a case study where their health could be closely examined over a long period of time
Actually I guess a sort of yearly survey of a consistent group of people could give you a lot of raw data like that I guess it's not as hard as I initially imagined, especially if you combine it with a bunch of other stuff to harvest data on, so it makes more sense to fund it
I wonder if our collective addiction to caffeine isn't to blame for a lot of people being underhydrated too coffee is a liquid and contains water, but it's actually dehydrating in result, isn't it? but it's a liquid, so you drink it at work for thirst, too
Anno
I actually talked about this with a friend a while back He pointed out to me that yes, while caffeine dehydrates you, unless you're drinking liquids with egregious amounts of caffeine, most caffeinated drinks have so much water in them that if offsets the dehydration The most common high-caffeine drink is, after all, coffee, which is predominantly water
That does make sense yeah Don't you need to get enough salt during the summer and stuff to retain water too? At least my dad is of that belief, though I never looked into it
Anno
I'm not too clear on salt's relationship to the body's ability to retain water, but during the summer you do sweat a lot, which expels salt from your body So if you're sweating a lot, you need to restock your body's salt levels But I would also wager most people's regular modern diets come with more than enough salt to satisfy that need
>>1067358 I mean go look yourself, I'm exaggerating obviously but over half are bear, a good 10% or whatever are sonic, and then there's sooome twink stuff but it's the minority and there's no guarantee any of it will be good, so now I'm down to like 5% readable comics https://u18chan.com/igc/
>>1067361 other problem is I'm not even a furry so I don't like the stuff that's more animal than anthropomorphic, it's a hard life i tell ya >>1067362 WHAT
some of the comics really are just dudes with cat ears and tail, authors often don't put much effort into the "fur" side of it either because I imagine drawing fur is painstakingly time consuming
can't you just put in tomgirl or crossdressing or whatever equivalent they use as a tag in the search? since that's basically what you're seemingly looking for
S C
"tomgirl" is, for the record, a term I've never actually seen used other than in two contexts porn, and chris-chan
I've got some chicken... legs? clubs? in the fridge and the oven's heating up, time to actually finish up the damn gundam anime honestly surprised they just introduced this fucking killing machine with no other programming than "kill human beings", and then they refused to elaborate on what the fuck compelled someone to make a damn grey goo indiscriminate genocide machine
Are they gonna touch on that or am I just supposed to accept that's something humanity did?
is it even "genocide" anymore when it's just *all humans*? or is there a separate word for that? extinction?
Anno
Depends on your interpretation of race If you see different human populations of differing ethnic and cultural origins as separate races, then no If you see the whole human species as one race, then yes, it's still genocide
Well, no, it's more of a question of whether genocide only applies to a subsection, or if "the whole lot" counts as a group that qualifies for the term Like are you committing genocide if you're just nuking the whole planet with no regard for who exactly you're nuking? It's obviously genocide if you specifically target a particular demographic and it doesn't really count as genocide if you're only targeting like, I dunno, turtles or something, cause they're not people in the first place
I just dunno if it's an appropriate term for a wholesale human extermination project
Anno
The etymology of genocide is split between "genos", or race, and "-cide" which is killing, so as a word which literally means "race killing", I'd say yes, it depends on your view on the broadness of race
But that's not how it's actually used, practically speaking For one, taking that as the actual usecase of the word requires one to be a racist to acknowledge genocide to be happening at all, and arguably more importantly, it rejects the possibility of genocide directed at any demographic not recognized to some extent as a race, like queer people or disabled people or whatever
Anno
Well practically speaking, genocide is not the actual word used in the original Japanese script
S C
>>1067385 Well no, but I'm not trying to figure out how the anime termed it, it just said the machine had a single directive: kill humans I'm trying to figure out if my terming it genocide is appropriate
Anno
And that depends on whether you consider the whole of the human species as one race or not Although, I'd say it's genocide regardless, but a more exact term if you don't see the human species as one whole race would probably be human extinction But perhaps that still implies the human species is one race Or maybe not, since if I was to say "turtle extinction" or "turtle genocide", it's probably intuitive enough to understand I'm speaking of turtles broadly rather than a specific species of turtles
I feel like "turtle genocide" does sort of imply you're eradicating a particular type or group of turtles, whereas extermination or extinction is more like, all of them That and extinction is arguably implying a lack of necessary intent from anyone at all, and more like it's "a thing that happened\is happening" genocide and extermination are like, actions, they have a person or group doing them, while extinction is something that does sometimes simply happen (even if a lot of it is directly attributable to humans at the present time)
Anno
I think that demonstrates a specific difference in literary interpretation between us Unless specified further, I see turtles as turtles broadly Without an indication of what species of turtle we're dealing with, my interpretation does not go further
>>1067389 That does make sense, yeah My immediate thought would still be that it's about a particular group of turtles though, but some of that probably stems from how that seems more likely overall for someone to do in the first place
Anno
There was a vending machine for baked goods in the mall I was just at, which in of itself is already kind of off-putting to me But the machine also advertised its goods as "Baked in Hoboken, New Jersey", which is a considerable distance from the city I live in Not somewhere I feel baked goods from is a particularly good endorsement
Anno
that baked goods being from is a particularly good endorsement

i dontk now man i needed more time in the workshop!!
the real answer is honestly an ex mining rig graphics card should be fine, the danger is that you might buy some card that's near its end-of-life but as far as i am aware, mining isn't really that hard on the card assuming you do it properly i.e. undervolt to maximize the profit per watt and provide ample cooling which is necessary for these big mining rigs so assuming the miner has done their homework in all likelihood the card should be fine, maybe you should like apply a bit of lubricant to the fan bearings or something, but that's only assuming they aren't some amateur miner who put the card in a packed dell case along with three other cards and stashed it under their desk on top of a shag rug in their tiny humid Florida apartment

About 10-12 years ago there was a pretty considerable cultural shift I think, where a lot of "nerd" stuff crossed out of being niche interests for geeks, nerds, weebs, etc. into acceptable for normal people to engage in Not that it was a sudden acceleration or anything, I think stuff like Harry Potter, or the return of Star Wars and the movie adaptations of The Lord of the Rings, primed a lot of people in our generation to make the switch That and the mainstream acceptance of playing video games Nowadays we see content in the mainstream like superhero movies, or big-budget sci-fi/fantasy adaptations, and take them as normal, but you wind back like fifteen years and not only are things like this not being made (outside of exceptions like Spider-Man), but you're a weirdo for getting excited about them
