i got femorgan fourth try i'd be happy about it but my free run had no blues and i wasted 10 orbs trying twice more and only one of the two tries had a blue and i got a 3* est from the blue this is the first signal of good luck i've had from this game in like four months and even four months ago was rough because after a long haul of bad luck i got two grays which weren't even the focus unit i was going for i'll need something more to redeem my confidence in this awful game
laz has really sensitive eyes and sometimes they get a little irritated but today one of them looks really painful im gonna have to take him to the vet and see if eyedrops might help when this happens in the future bc it breaks my heart to see him like this
Anno
give lazzy a belly rub for me when you can don't bother him for it though
Anno
>>436754 Yeah that is a pretty noticeable reddening. Does he seem a little cranky or senstive about it?
Kirara π
no, he's completely normal except for he rubs his eye occasionally he is prone to irritation so he's probably used to it but it looks so uncomfortable that it stresses me out so much
That strikes me as not being too painful for him then, at least. Definitely worth seeing if a vet knows a solution for the problem though.
Kirara π
yeah idk what causes it when he first moved here it was happening like once every two weeks but it hasn't happened for a while until now
Yuu
Maybe he has allergies.
Kirara π
Yeah. I'm wondering if maybe the vet could prescribe eyedrops that might be able to relieve the irritation when this happens or might have suggestions as to what's causing it.
Yuu
If he's allergic to dust or something he may have stuck his face somewhere he doesn't usually go.
Kirara π
That could be. He's been misbehaving a lot lately and getting into all kinds of things.
While we keep a litter box, we put it away year-round almost all the time. My cat does her business outside if she can.

You don't have to smell it because there's cat litter.

You also don't have to smell it because human beings have fabulous lungs that are great for holding your breath.

I can smell it. I can smeel smell it when they poop too.
I had a cat growing up, I know all about litter boxes.
Kirara π
When I was growing up, cat litter didn't stop the poop from smelling, either. But now I'm a big, strong grown up! And times have changed, and cat litter is a lot better than it used to be.

Well, I don't want to deal with it. Don't want to smell it, don't want to scoop it. Cats would be great if they didn't poop.

I'm not a weakling, I'm simply refined and high performance. You don't just junky diesel fuel to power a jet engine. You have to use high quality jet fuel. Expensive machinery has standards.
Kirara π
well, you have to use jet fuel because diesel and jet fuel are different things it's not about the quality difference between the two types of fuel
moreover, being so adverse to something that you refuse to do it especially when it's something completely reasonable that hundreds of millions of people do daily is a sign of weakness
Yuu
It's not a sign of weakness, it's just something I don't want to do. Surely you have things you don't want to deal with, too.

FormerRei@mobile
I'm going to listen to Nevermind the Bollocks Here's the Sex Pistols again.
I still need to figure out what to compute for the blockchain for my stupid cryptocurrency idea.
Samurai Lal'C !KW2DbpWwls
let me give an analogy for what Lightning network is first
say you want to give some money to someone. you could do a bank transfer, it's secure and insured and there are people who can arbitrate in case of fraud and stuff.
or you could deal in cash but that's risky and the counterparty could just mug you and there's not much recourse
or suppose there's a casino out there, a nice one with lush green roulette tables and friendly poker tables you have chips in there but they're not real money, but they kind of are you could give chips to someone or vice versa and they can't really mug you cause of the way the casino is set up
so you can transact freely with these people that you don't trust to transact in cash, and you can do it in real time without bank involvement that's kind of what Lightning network is for bitcoin bitcoin is secure but slow lightning lets you have a little room where you can securely transact quickly
Yuu
Oh I see. I kinda understand how bitcoin and stuff works, so an etherium state channel is one of those crazy blockchain kinda things? And the legitimacy of the chips and stuff is verified because you have multiple people looking at them?
Anno
it's kinda like a way to communicate more quickly than the blockchain with the ability to revoke agreements or something? i think but that ultimately still gets updated to the blockchain like, uh, having a system that functions within the overarching system without needing to lag so much or maybe i'm way off
Kirara π
verify my post numbers on the blockchain babey
Samurai Lal'C !KW2DbpWwls
>>437181 yeah so an ethereum state channel is like the casino again, but instead of just exchanging chips, you can exchange more complicated data structures ... i guess it's like you could co-operatively play a video game or something,.
the way the legitimacy stuff works is interesting. it's kind of hard to explain but let me try
if i want to send money on lightning, i have to like make a piece of paper saying that i promise not to cheat and lie later about the money i'm about to promise to send and then i sign that piece of paper and give it to the other guy so we didn't actually move any money yet, but i did give that guy a piece of paper, and he gives me one that he signed
we're now in a situation where both of us possess the threat of being able to go to the cash-out counter and deposit the piece of paper but neither of us really wants to do it because we'd have to pay a fee but if one party decides to start lying later about how much money we really owe each other, i have the option of taking this nuclear route on the table at all times
Yuu
Oh, I see. That makes a lot of sense.
Anno
>>437184 so the nodes of a lightning network don't need to be verified to the blockchain because the threat of verification itself would end their participation in the network? and that's less laggy? or what's the benefit did i miss it
Samurai Lal'C !KW2DbpWwls
>>437186 yeah exactly. when someone cashes in, that closes the payment channel and all funds that were locked up in it go to their respective parties
but if both parties keep it open, they can send and receive money (or state updates) as quickly as they are able to exchange these pieces of paper
>>437187 and that's the lightning network? where does ethereum state channels come in or wait you described them continuously huh woop
Samurai Lal'C !KW2DbpWwls
yeah i wanted to provide some background on lightning but that's it in a nutshell
and state channels are a similar thing but you can transact state in addition to balances
skSamurai Lal'C !KW2DbpWwls
so i'm imagining a forum where you have to have a little bit of crypto to sign up then you stake that crypto to open a state channel then you can post in real time and pay tiny bits of tokens for the privilege and if anyone wants to archive a thread permanently they could pay a lot more to have it embedded into the real blockchainz
Anno
that makes sense thanks >>437192 i mean it wouldn't have to be money right just make it a merit amount or something reddity like that yeah staking your credibility as a user
could you make opening and saving images cost tiny microamounts such that people could easily go find the images on their own but would pay just for the convenience of not having to
I would probably stop posting here if that happened tbh
Anno
>>437206 it's really the cost of opening the channel and navigating this pay-to-interact system not so much about the proprietary content micropay to enter a thread, participate in it
Samurai Lal'C !KW2DbpWwls
i'd definitely have to give away a lot of moebux so that people could post and get their friends in
2daM00N
Samurai Lal'C !KW2DbpWwls
i wouldn't charge for read access opening a channel would involve staking some coins though they'd be locked up until the channel closed that's the main con of Lightning I think. there are some situations where your money gets locked up for a while if your counterparty is being an asshole
Anno
just the amount that it'd incur on you for bandwidth so that it's a self-sustaining platform no profiteering
Samurai Lal'C !KW2DbpWwls
yeah. well bandwidth is fine, cloudflare pays for all of that the privilege of posting would be paid in nanocents per character the main incentive is that you lose your account if you get permabanned
Anno
it'd encourage people to make new threads so they don't gotta load up as much SHIT
Samurai Lal'C !KW2DbpWwls
woooow
Anno
i had a thought like that before that would measure users' interactions and kind of give them an n-dimensional proximity to new content based on their interactions free for them to interact with anything but it'd be measured and their scope would adjust i was gonna do it with pictures of food that look good and call it snackexchange and the the top snacks for each digital geoscape would be freely available for that region's users like when we have instant transmittion food creation machines ya know

>>437286 only reason they broke even was the IP, though
Also I was just reading the article, everytime it got rejected from a studio was due to Del Toro refusing executive meddling.

well with the prequels, they aren't even that bad, well the 2nd and 3rd, it is just the dialog and well direction the overall story isn't that bad the hobbits though are a fuckstain they have few good scenes mixed in with the bloat stuff that was stretched and shat on it to make it 3 movies long

I wonder is there "defenestration of prague" one
FormerRei@mobile
That would be great.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
is fun how both religious conflicts of europe began with a defenestration in prague

What is with europeans and smashing windows?

I do not object to it

What if it violates the NAP?

Even better
FormerRei@mobile
Enjoy getting shot for violating the NAP.

the nap doesn't real everything violates it

The NAP is a spook, but so are plenty of other things.

my stepfather's family actually has few heirlooms looted from germany during 30 years war
FormerRei@mobile
That's fucking Nito.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Dnno if I have any such ancestry
FormerRei@mobile
I have a family friend whose father was part of the polish resistance. He blew up a bunch of Nazi trains.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
My father's side family anyhow moved to the capital region and changed their name somewhat recently, so whatever heirlooms the previous family had, mostl ikely went to the son who inherited the farmland I don't even know what the family name was back then.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Which makes it bit weird, since there is a town actually nearby that bears my family name, but I have no relation to the people who found it
I wish snows would melt soonish I wanna go back to cycling for shopping that damned 30-60 minutes extra snow adds to travel time to store and back is annoying

I would buy a bike if this area had biking lanes. It doesn't, though.

is the weird part about this place, though so bad pedestrian roads damn car region

Even with biking lanes, it's way too stressful for me to bike alongside cars and other vehicles. I need totally isolated routes to ride on comfortably.

With my folding bike, I can take it on biking roads when I travel, for exercise.

we got new fancy high speed train in florida around orlando i think in the like two months its existed it's already killed at least three people, probably more
>>437394 people keep ending up on the tracks and getting hit the first time it happened was the day before it even opened and they tried to keep it out of the news lol
FormerRei@mobile
Didn't every single person hit walk or bike around the safety gates?
Kirara π
the first one, idk, they hid the info about it and i never looked for new info the second one i know of, they got hit because the gates didn't work and their car was on the tracks or something someone today got hit walking on the tracks, i don't think they knew the train was coming
FormerRei@mobile
Yeah, I just read a bunch of articles, the gates were down in all of them except for the person who drove onto the tracks and then towards the train.
baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaangKirara π
i dont see anything about someone driving towards the train but i found an article from jan saying 4 kills so i guess it's probably around 6 or 7 minimum now
FormerRei@mobile
Well I don't know if it was towards or away, but they were ddriving on the tracks not over the tracks. Also not every person hit has died.
>>437402 max speed differs here and there but it's like 79 in some places and 120 in others
FormerRei@mobile
>ignore rail safety gates and lights and noise >get hit >people keep doing it Really makes you think
Kirara π
it's what happens when you introduce something like this to a place that's only had slow cargo trains for the past 50 years they should have actually made new tracks that were safer
FormerRei@mobile
Yeah But you're still supposed to stop They say stop It's like a stop sign >>437405 Or people could maybe pay attention to the thing that exists to prevent them from being hit by a moving train
Kirara π
yeah but counting on people to follow the rules is foolish they should be making it impossible to get killed by it as much as possible
Samu π !KW2DbpWwls
i'm ridin da drama llama
FormerRei@mobile
>>437407 Generally people follow those rules in other places Also by that logic the same should be done with roads and bridges that go over highways so people don't jump off
>>437403 Trains here usually go 50-60. 70 doesn't seem that fast but I bet 120 is fast.
I don't see people break the rules regarding train tracks much either, maybe it's a Florida thing.
Anno
people get run overI by the dart train all the time here but its not like its easy you gotta be really unlucky
Kirara π
the problem here is that the stuff you can get away with with a normal train doesn't generalize to the new one people are engaging in old behaviors because the new environment is oversimilar to the old one and dying because of it
FormerRei@mobile
>>437413 Stuff you shouldn't be doing in the first place, I understand why people do it But that doesn't make it okay It's stupid to do in the first place
Anno
>>437413 maybe you should lobby to have lighthouses built where those people got hit to memorialize them and keep others from making the same mistakes
Kirara π
sure but people do it and people are stupid and the state knew this would happen and the company did too and chose to cut corners
>>437415 maybe the trains are stealing their organs
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
They need to stop being stupid.
Anno
the dart rail, our only passenger train system, goes around 40 to 60 mph haha
FormerRei@mobile
>>437416 Chose to cut corners by making flashing lights and armatures that say stop danger and make noises to prevent people from going onto the tracks?
Anno
>>437416 i wonder how many gators are gettin hit by the train
Kirara π
>>437419 cutting corners by using old infrastructure instead of new infrastructure like i said >>437413 it is problematic and this outcome was absolutely predictable
Arguably it's the fault of Florida law enforcement for not giving people tickets for all those other years.
Kirara π
>>437423 that's not an option here considering you have to cross the tracks to get to US1, one of the two north-south roads in this part of Florida
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
Are there not methods in place that say "there is a train coming right now, get the hell out of the way"?
FormerRei@mobile
>>437427 Wait in front of the rail crossing like a mostly functional human being that knows how to in theory not get hit by a train. People do that all over the country.
Yuu
I'm unsure about how fast or hard to avoid a 120 mile per hour train is since I've never seen one. Maybe they are hard to avoid.
So people are speeding through the tracks instead of waiting I guess that makes sense.
Kirara π
yeah, or trying to walk across the tracks before tthe train comes behaviors that were successful hundreds of times in the past are now rarely successful and very dangerous and the consequences are too high for individuals to learn
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
At that point it's important to inform the area of the new train Which then falls back to your old infrastructure argument.
FormerRei@mobile
Okay here's a solution They put signs that say "warning this train will kill you if you try to cross"
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
Caution: Train may move faster than you expect >>437438 That's on them at that point tbh
Kirara π
people won't believe the sign because their past experience contradicts it it may reduce some of the casualties but we can reduce all of them by not cutting corners
FormerRei@mobile
>>437438 Then they've been conditioned to be stupid.
Kirara π
>>437439 yeah, that's what it is to be human in this world that we're not equipped to navigate
FormerRei@mobile
I jaywalk all the time at intersections that aren't in super busy areas, bit when I'm in an area where there are more cars I don't. This is because I weigh risks versus rewards. >>437440 This thing you've been going on about it kind of obnoxious and I feel that in ssome cases you are rrying to argue ot applies in areas outside of human device interactions.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
What corners would you want not to be cut, like make the track a bit longer or more straight to give a better sense of "hey a train is coming now"
Kirara π
>>437442 build a new track that doesn't run on the tracks that cargo trains run on preferably elevated
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
That falls into being pretty expensive though wouldn't it? I know you dont' want them to cut corners but that'd be a lot of money to throw at it
Kirara π
yes, it'd be great if they did, but it's cheaper to let people die than to protect lives you don't care about the company that did the trains are corrupt
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
You'd probably be mad if they raised taxes or something to pay for it though too.
Kirara π
>>437446 only because i know the governor would be pocketing the extra money florida has no state taxes though
Kirara π
the original plan for the trains was to have the state build them and would include new rails the governor vetoed the bill that would have started it and gave a contract to build the trains to a company run by friends of his the state paid them to do this and the governor probably gets something out of it from them the entire thing is a scam and people are dying because of it
FormerRei@mobile
You are putting far too much of the burden on the rail company. Even if they did make the tracks "safer" somehow, people would still walk around the damn gates or jump over them or whatever and get hit.
Kirara π
if you make choices which are predicted to cause unnecessary deaths, then you are responsible for those deaths the rail company is responsible
FormerRei@mobile
Counter argument Any new intersection built ever causes unnecessary deaths by the people who get hit at that intersection. They would never have gotten hit there if the intersection had not been built.
Kirara π
that's a false equivalence and not a situation my argument applies to
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
You've made a fair point. It just sucks that this situation relies on people knowing people are going to make decisions they probably shouldn't make.
FormerRei@mobile
>>437452 Okay fine A busy intersection in an area without busy intersections where people jaywalk all the time and don't get hit by cars.
Kirara π
>>437453 it does, but human beings are not equipped to navigate the world we've created for ourselves, evolutionarily speaking we can't adapt quickly enough to the world and we're dying because of it even though our knowledge of human behavior can be used to eliminate the majority of these deaths
>>437454 again, not relevant do you understand my argument?
FormerRei@mobile
I have more sympathy for the people who die this way than the people who die from eating tidepods. But not a whole bunch more.
FormerRei@mobile
>>437455 I understand you argument, but it puts too much of the responsibility off of the person who made the poor decision and onto the people who did something that works fine in moat of the US. *most
Kirara π
my point is that we know how people will behave we can't change their behavior, yeah? but we can change the environment to prevent them from behaving in those specific ways by changing the environment, we find the most effective way to reduce the amount of unneccesary deaths
FormerRei@mobile
Well here's the reason why It costs money And money doesn't grow on trees So stupid Floridians are going to die until the rest figure out that maybe its not a good idea to try and beat the train.
Kirara π
except it does figuratively the amount of money necessary for this is a drop of water in the ocean compared to the money that the people involved with the project have and how much they make from it money isn't even real in the first place
FormerRei@mobile
You've only vaguely referenced measures that would reduce fatalities so I don't really have a good sense of what they are so I can't really estimate their cost.
Kirara π
i can recommend a few books on behaviorism that go into altering the environment to stop problematic behaviors from happening it's common sense that if people aren't engaging in behaviors that kill them, people will die less and we all know that we have the available resources to build new tracks
FormerRei@mobile
Anyways, Oh Building new tracks? That's not super cheap, neccesarily. Do you mean in a new area or replacing the existing rails and rail bed?
Anno
check out velocitization and highway design it's p cool
Kirara π
>>437463 not replacement tracks new tracks that people haven't learned won't kill them are necessary
FormerRei@mobile
>>437465 That would be absurdly expensive. Do you know what has to be done to build new tracks?
Kirara π
it would be very affordable if you consider the fact that we have the resources available for it the only way to argue that it's too expensive is if you actually literally don't care about human lives yes, they should absolutely be doing whatever it takes to reduce the amount of people their project kills
FormerRei@mobile
I actually don't care that much about people killing themselves in stupid ways. But I see your point. I also see a pattern in your beliefs about how things should be done and the disconnect between that and how things are done seems to cause you a lot of stress.
Kirara π
i guess you're looking at it from a very western perspective and ignoring scientific principles of behavior
Kirara π
>>437468 how things are done don't matter when they can and should be done differently when i see people dying for no reason, yeah, that bothers me
FormerRei@mobile
>>437469 I agree with you that they should be done that way. But I also understand that realistically they won't. Now that is not to say I don't believe people will never do things the way they should. But it takes a lot to change tge way tthings are done.
FormerRei@mobile
>>437469 Also it amuses me that you use "western perspective" with disdain.
FormerRei@mobile
Oh and saying that i ignore scientific principles of behavior is rude, I don't ignore them I'm just not surprised at all that people won't spend large amounts of money to prevent deaths that aren't legally responsible for.
FormerRei@mobile
*that they

I just had a thought What does a person like Owl do when the person they're taking care of finally dies? You know, the people who live off of uh what is it now you know, the government dollaroos

generally wind up on the street unless they plan

i sacced a career in pittsburgh and another one in san fran to take care of this bitch ass family because nobody else wanted to none of them have money and i have to do everything for them and they just die and i'm worse off for it in every way there's no transition you just get fucked and can't do much about it
