They're known as Canadian Geese for a reason

ye we get those in some numbers too increasing numbers at that matter
fun fact, we are lobbying turning the canadian geese and barnacle geese into a bird ... game bird unfortunately, it seems like we have to push it through Eu before it gets accepted, due to some clause in the agricultural stuff
should go through tho
and then we can legally hunt those fuckers

>>946080 That's relatable! They laid off a bunch of people and doubled my workload a while ago and it's been steadily getting worse. And my new boss is a psycho stalker so I have to be careful how I quit, haha.
I broke up with you know who for the fourth time yesterday, lol. So I'm still a bit reeling from that but i'm also a bit over it.
>>946083 Yeah, I'm big time overworked. Way overloaded. I also got a complaint which I don't really think I did anything wrong but I'm getting investigated anyway. I have to send out the letter responding to the complain tomorrow, it's pretty stressful.
Anno
Rika what would it take to convince you to bludgeon the back of my skull in as stress relief
Anno
>>946084 Ah shucks I hope being free of Person A is a bit stress off your shoulders for the time being at least I know you've put a lot of time into that relationship though, so I'm sorry to hear that.
I gave a girl my number recently, and she always gets really excited to see me and says she's going to text me but she still hasn't. I think it's mostly just brain problems though.
>>946084 I've been there. A few years ago I got investigated after being accused of a HIPAA violation. I managed to get through though. I'm sure you can handle it!
>>946085 I don't really think hurting someone would be good stress relief for me.
>>946087 I hope so. I thought they would dismiss it after my first reply but they sent me a letter asking for more information. I am sending the more information out tomorrow but I don't have some of the information I need because my record keeping in that file hasn't been great. You don't write down every phone call you make, you know?
I have some savings so I guess if the worst case scenario happens I can just be a NEET for awhile while I look for something else.

>>946088 Is the complaint something that could snowball up to being let go? That sounds like a pretty extreme result of an error But you probably handle some relatively sensitive business don't you.
>>946088 Yeah, it's a pain to document every single phone call you make. And you never know what is going to be important so even if you document it, you might not document one little thing that turned out to be important later.
>>946091 Well, if I lose my license or get suspended or something, I can't do my job.

>>946102 Yeah ;_; Toronto in particular is still pretty sucky regarding Covid But maybe, MAYBE, this is the last time things should be locked down so badly. By June 6th the lock down should be lifting, and we're steadily getting on track with vaccinations.
I'm on voice with Pan RIGHT NOW and I know he couldn't have made that post because he's CHARGING HIS PHONE
>>946102 Ooh, yeah, I totally get that one. I had a client's insurance lapse a few weeks ago and couldn't get around to telling the client so communication failed and there was all this confusion. But what can you do when your caseload is gigantic? Something has to get dropped.
>>946106 I know a lot of people from Toronto, they're all programmers. The lockdown seems to be treating them well since they can work from home but it would be a bit harder for me.
>>946108 Yes, and this individual's situation was fairly hopeless. I informed them that prospects weren't good and that all they could do was wait. Waiting didn't sit well with them so they complained about me.
Well if you can keep your job until the sixth maybe something could work! Hoh hoh hoh
Otherwise let's be roommates in B.C. and look for jobs together.

>>946109 Theoretically the lockdown should be beginning to phase out of total lockdown towards re-opening But our provincial government have been handling it really poorly so whoooo knowssssssss
>>946109 Oh, it's that kind of situation. If it's like that, I'm sure you'll be okay. The board probably sees people like that making bogus complaints all the time.
>>946113 I end up thinking about leaving therapy a lot lately, it's just not rewarding when you're overworked. But I'm getting a better job soon and hopefully that'll help. Is there anywhere else you could work?
Anno
This is a rough time to have bad workloads and work stress to boot There's very little to do outside of work, even if you're kind of a shut-in personally and can fill up your recreation time with games and other indoors activities I think having few social options just accelerates your burnout.
>>946114 hmm, I'm sure I could find something else, I just have no idea what it would be and would have to look a bit.
>>946115 Yeah, covid hasn't been great for that since I've been cooped up and online for awhile now and since things haven't been going great with the person i used to lean on when stressed
Anno
Well you can always lean on us~ I get that's not quite the same thing though, sorry It's rough for everyone, as cheap as a "consolation prize" that is.
>>946116 I got kind of lucky. Someone I used to work with who got laid off in January started a new treatment center with a really rich chiropractor in the area, so I can just move over there. It helps that I'm a guy, male therapists are always in high demand.

Anno

The rule of the west is that there's always a faster gun. I'll overcome every gun faster than me. I'll become faster than anyone who is faster than me! An endless struggle!
I will simply become faster than time. Even if time stops, I won't.
!C0.PerkELE
that aside, how would a time stop even work it's more like actually moving into a phase or something, where you can move regardless of time or instead of actually stopping time you stop momentum etc
Anno
It wouldn't because time isn't real You'd basically have to freeze the movement of everything in the universe down to the sub-atomic level The release and travelling of energy Basically to create the effect of a time stop, you'd have to make it so only you and the physical components that are you and the things you need to move, can still be effected And even that becomes more complicated when you consider that things that were previously frozen in place, like the air molecules in front of you as you move forwards in space, would have to become active again so they don't block your ability to move fowards. The sheer complexity of halting all motion and reactions on a universal scale is so impossibly complex that in reality, you can't "stop time"
if time isn't real, how is it affected by gravity?
Kirara 🍄 大医 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
time is an experience that humans have it's different from what time refers to in quantum mechanics in quantum mechanics, space and time are the same thing
!C0.PerkELE
well I am referring to the quantum mechanics thing here
Anno
>>946152 Time is the perception through which humans view the motion of objects through space
Okay nevermind you're clearly not actually interested in my explanation so I won't waste my time.
what you said above already ignored everything I said in my initial post "is time stopping an ability, that moves you into a dimension, where you can act regardless of 'time'" or "does it stop momentum altogether" I mightn ot use the exact correct terms, but it should convey the message
I am not talkinga bout "time" but the physics stuff
maybe instead of momentum I should use physical energy or something or fuckton of complex words of a topic that I don't understand that much, especiall on a level to actually tackle it like this.
>>946130 Oh that's really not too bad. I guess it's really only super helpful for upper body. I thought about getting en endless pool for awhile but decided against it.
>>946158 Rowing is a lot like swimming in that it exercises pretty much every muscle group. You also burn calories way quicker rowing than you do with swimming.
My knees aren't good anymore so I have been trying to find ways to stay in shape since I can't run.
Most wacky and amusing way to explain any timestopping ability would be to say have the user become a singular level gravity entity for a split infitesmal second and then resume back to normal when they "resume time"
tho wait that would be the exact opposite
they would experience a second but the world around them would move infinitely forward
>>946166 Yeah! >Rowing gives the upper and lower back and the shoulder muscles an excellent workout. Plus, the sliding seat provides a lower body workout too. Every stroke engages the calves, quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, abs, obliques, pecs, biceps, triceps, deltoids, upper back, and lats. Rowing also boosts your wrist strength because of the grip required for the rower handles. It’s also said that rowing can help improve posture by strengthening your back.
Rowing is really great! Well, once I have my machine, you can ask me how well it's working. I'm convinced it's going to be really good for me, though. Since I haven't been able to run, I've gained like 20 pounds. I'm still pretty thin but I'm a little out of my ideal shape.

I figured you were getting into crypto since the topic kept coming up and that you thought it might be a decent financial investment
月
the topic did keep coming up but it was because i was interested in the algorithms developed to use the equipment for calculations and i'm trying to gain some insight on how to guide my own calculations that have been stalemated so far
im also watching the future of mining with the upcoming proof of stake switch to see where market gaps arise from people who had all this equipment but can't use it anymore i thought there might be something to replace that niche but it looks like it'll just go back to other mining
i wouldn't invest in it myself because that's too much capital i'd get, what, maybe 10% after a year for using my entire budget? i don't have that kind of time i have productive work i want to do and maybe a few patents to file if i really get froggy

Man fuck crypto mining If there's that many cards on preorder then when the fuck are people that want cards for gaming or functional PCs supposed to get one I was hoping to get a 3070 at some point to update my PC but at this rate I guess I'll be stuck with what I've got for the foreseeable future
月
i don't mean this in contest, but what do you need a 3070 for? i am getting some 3080s for physics engines but as far as gaming goes, i don't really understand where the current tech landscape is at just curious
if my 3080s ever come through i could sell one to you for a normal price or you could go put a 3070 on preorder at shopblt but it takes some time to navigate their inventory database and that preorder list will be very long might take a year even lemme take a look actually
Future-proofing, plain and simple I've started to notice points where my 1070 is starting to bump up against the hardware requirements of contemporary games I'm not one for gradual improvements, I'd rather jump ahead as far as I can, with some exception So rather than going for a 2000-series card (because fuck AMD cards), I'd rather get a 3000-series A 3080 would be nice but I also don't think the extra cost for it opposed to a 3070 is worth what I get out of it.

i really like the white model 3070 it's a little pricier but it seems solid, not that i'd actually know judging by those preorder queues, i'd say it'd be realistic to get one by late summer or fall if you keep your eye on it and put yourself on the list you won't actually get charged until it ships out too so don't feel like you have to have the money just to preorder

Better take good care of your tech in the coming years Even if phonecoin is not realized, just the resources that go into making a phone will be sucked up by the ever increasing demand for shit that can mine or farm coins We're entering the final stage of capitalism: Digital Hell

asics are the only economical way to mine bitcoin now because all the asic companies have been at war for years trying to make the fastest and most efficient asic bitcoin maximalists tout this as innovation but really all they managed to innovate was burning electricity better
The whole "well people aren't considering that it puts pressure on manufacturers to make more efficient bitcoin mining equipment" thing is so fucking stupid honestly Like OK, they'll make more efficient bitcoin miners, they'll use less power What's step 1 for every single bitcoin mining person now? Increase amount of bitcoin miners Because otherwise, they fall behind the other guys who will increase their mining up to their previous electricity consumption
The fucking system as a whole is literally made to eat more and more power over time

What I really want is an ASIASIC for computing tripcodes. Realistically though I'd have to settle for doing it on FPGA.
Now it's time to sleep though, I've been up all fucking night, getting distracted by one thing after another If anyone ever figures out why a youtube channel uploading TV shows would trim them down to just the ads and scramble the title and description after 24 hours, they better let me know, cause I need that information in my life
>>946885 Wait, I thought you said it was just the ads?
S C
yeah sorry, I'm sleep deprived also yes full episode uploaded with ads at the end 24 hours later, trimmed down to just the ads, and the title and description are changed to random shit probably from the wikipedia entry of some chemical process
ㅤFormerRei@mobile
>>946888 theres probably some community around it and they're supposed to watch the videos before they're mssed with They delete the real content after 24 hours so they don't get ip flagged on YouTube
I mean I guess, but it seems more reasonable to just delete the video then >>946892 oh shit you're right I should do that later today or tomorrow, depending on how you measure days

Recently Uber has started posting to my phone notifications advertisements whenever I book my morning trip Annoyingly though, the ad notifications don't dismiss once the Uber ride is done, so it's an additional thing I have to manually clean up after using the app It's such shitty design that I'm of the mind to deliberately ignore the subject of the ad
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
>>946907 I too thought about this but I'm barely playing that game lately.
a client told another client that he was going to murder a third client after making several death threats to other people Newboss refused to investigate it (reason unknown, client 2 believes Newboss and client 1 are friends) And now I have to do what I can to investigate it but these are credible threats and I really don't want this delta force guy coming after me i am really not interested in dying because Newboss is dumber than a motherfucker
@tilde nvidia properly announced the new "lite hash rate" 30-series that aren't going to be good for mining so you might have a chance to get a good deal once those drop which might be soon
Anno
>>946928 Hah hah that will be great if true Hopefully there's no considerable effect on its ability to render visuals in trying to neuter the value of GPUs to miners
I'm sure this is a problem they've been hacking at for a while though
I should be getting next Tuesday off, although unpaid Combined with the holiday Monday, it means a nice four-day weekend Now I'm going to be busy moving into my new place from Friday night until however long it takes to be done But having all that time to move in will be nice And the faster I get settled in, the more time I get to relax there Or at the old condo, since I'm not certain on the timeline of getting Internet hooked up at the new place

Oh nice I wish you lots of productivity but also comfy vibes
>>946938 Get comfy >>946940 Really well actually Although it's always a bit hard to tell with these things I should be hearing something about it before the end of the week So.. Fingers crossed
S C
Well if you think it went well, it probably did It's hard to tell anything though cause someone else might be better for them
I've decided against investigating the murder threats. I don't want to die. Apparently all the corporate big wigs will be here tomorrow, and everyone who works here has turned against Newboss (i confirmed this a few hours ago) so I'm just going to dump everything that's happened recently on them and hopefully get him fired
the hashrate artificially they already tried it a couple times with driver updates but i think these will be new hardware everything else should be fine not like nvidia never fucks up though

Kinda messed up today Asked my managers if they thought criticism about a government policy was fair And they're like It's not our role to say
DON'T QUESTION THE PROCESS JUST CARRY IT OUT
Marsh shitposting on the go via Telephone
She was really nice about it But also definitely gave the message not to ask her those sort of questions
Marsh shitposting on the go via Telephone
It was a news article Shitting on the policy we were talking about So i linked to that in the Teams chat thing and just asked if she thought what the journalist was saying was fair/true
Then she told me (nicely) to knock it the fuck off
Anno
Don't let anyone stop you from asking questions! Don't let anyone tell you what to do! Be your own person!
Anno
Honestly she sounds like she's being a bit of a nit It's one thing to say "focus on your work", or "don't let your criticisms get in the way of your work" But to say something like "it's not our role to say" is kind of an inherently shuffling under the carpet the problem She doesn't want to think about it because it's hard for her to think about it, so she doesn't Or at the least that's the gist I get from it.
>>947231 It's more just like as people doing government shit, there's a responsibility to stay neutral and especially for her, as she's kind of in a leader position not to be spurting off her own personal HOT TAKES on things the higher ups in the department have decided.
I mean The role is essentially processing work. So the focus is very much on teaching us the hows and trying not to think too much about the whys
Which I mean I'm still happy I got the job. It seems fine for a little while But isn't really aligned at all with what I'd like to be involved in long-term. a MEANS TO AN END if you will.

oh that come up in the recommended but I didn't read came up he murdered a homeless man when he was 15 and went to jail doesn't sound like a good guy I don't know we have our own version of castle domain if we have*
*murder him, he killed hkm in self Oh wait Yeah The guy who was ahot, yeah *shot
ㅤFormerRei@mobile
>>947279 I like the thing with hs niece and nephew saying "we want him to be remembered aas a good man" He fucking killed a dude, went to prison for drugs (not that drugs ar bad but Australia is strict about drugs so it was a poor decision) and then was killed while in the middle of commiting another crime and you have the audacity to request all that be ignored.
Anno
castle doctrine why did I say domain
ㅤFormerRei@mobile
>>947282 Here you don't always need castle doctrine/stand your ground to legally kill someone in self defense. Although all that helps. I don't like stand your ground stuff though. I don't remember the specifics of castle doctrine but I remember agreeing with at least some of it.
Huh >Use of deadly force justified. Specific legislation prevents filing claim against defender of dwelling. Illinois has no requirement of retreat. I didn't know that. Although I bet if I pointed a gun at an intruder and didn't kill them I could get in trouble for that, maybe. Like get sued oor something.
>>947279 self defense has to be proportional to the threat.
ㅤFormerRei@mobile
I wouldn't really want to kill someone who broke into my house anyways. I'd rather threaten or incapacitate them.
ㅤFormerRei@mobile
Also reminder that ar15s are terrible for self defense. Shotguns are the best home defense weapons. And you can load them with less lethal ammunition ssussuch aas rubber pellets or beanbags Or non lethal (but painful) rocksalt.

oh yeah my newboss brought his friend into the program as a client (unethical) and then said friend made explicit death threats, expressed intent "i am going to kill X and if you get in my way, you'll be in my rifle sights too" to another client newboss prevented the police from involuntarily committing him and he has faced no consequences he's also implied he's going to shoot up the center i was going to build a case against him but i realized that if i do that i will possibly be murdered by a former Delta force guy
LV
>>947292 > >my newboss brought his friend into the program as a client Jesus, I'm not even in the medical field and even I know that's a clear conflict of interest/would get ethics committee hard over that.
>former delta force ....Yeah, play it smart, dude. If this guy is legit delta force, he'll be able to find you and fuck you fifteen ways to sunday even if he's in a psychosis episode. I've read books about delta force and they're hard motherfuckers.

>>947292 Like, it's been a tradition of theirs to demonstrate their abilities to every incoming president since... I BELIEVE Reagan, but they were formed in the Carter administration where they kidnap him, place him in a dark room as an unsecured hostage and then they go in firing live ammunition at dummies and stuff in the room and they secure him.
Considering they also have the ability to do survillance and stuff, you don't want to make /// get on his shitlist.

>>947300 Hey, do you have that mushroom/fungus manifesto you wrote a while back? Check this out. https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v43/n10/francis-gooding/from-its-myriad-tips
This article really links up with this. https://www.uaptheory.com/habitable-worlds/ Many of my fellow scientists say that microbial life is probably everywhere – but no complex life. This is a common misconception and due to a missing piece of knowledge. Fungi are the bridge between microbes and complex life that barely anyone studies. Mycology, the study of fungi, is a field of research that is completely underfunded and underappreciated, yet it deals with the most important organisms of all time. They are so important that we should call the Earth a fungal ocean world, not an ocean world.
Let us fill this gap in knowledge.
Life on Earth began when it was only 220 million years old. This was the first moment life could have started as the time before was the formation of the Earth. Since life started immediately, its formation is common and hence scientists say that microbes are probably everywhere. Back then, the Earth was just bedrock, acidic water, and it was surrounded by poisonous gasses. It was habitable but not beautiful and got terraformed by microbes and fungi.
Microbes formed about 4.3 billion years ago and began terraformation of the ocean and atmosphere. Fungal-like structures formed at least 2.4 billion years ago (this is the date of our oldest fossils of them!). ~1.6 billion years ago, fungi came to land. For 1 billion years, they were alone, spread over the land, and formed the first layer of soil. ~600 million years ago, plants arrived on the land to live on the new soil. ~450 million years ago, animals split from fungi.
Ah It just seems like a lot more recently because someone posts about it more lately I guess Either that or it's just a combination of me having been gone for a while, and having a generally poor memory

if you ever want to pseudo-report, just email [email protected] and it'll send an alert to my phone but i usually swoop by here once an hour or so, so i'll usually see a post unless it's really active and moved up the thread by new posts
it's good we usually stick to main threads so we really don't have to see it besides making new threads don't think I've ever seen it slip into main and would probably get deleted straight away anyway

Oh yeah Moon I know you were fond of the Berserk anime series, but I don't know how much the series in general meant to you >>946976 But in case you didn't see this earlier
月
damn thats terrible yes the series as a whole meant a lot to me manga > 90s anime > golden age movies > rest
Anno
U // I only ever read the manga but it was a fantastic experience And it's been touching seeing how different people have been sharing their fondness for the series online It had such wide reaching appeal It's really unfortunate.
月
when i was on a bus from memphis to st louis, a lady was there with her daughter and the lady was like mid 40s and started talking to me about how berserk is her favorite show and her daughter's too young to watch it it really made its way into public consciousness and stood out as a classic even to regular folks
Anno
>>>/@KalebPrime/1395335794802544645 There's a few copies of this screencap from presumably /a/ floating around on Twitter that I think is a very poignant and touching interpretation of the series as a whole And is probably in part why so many people were able to be touched by it The fact that the world is not a beautiful place, but you have to keep living in it regardless, is a kind of beauty in of itself
Anno
Actually I guess judging by the post count it's probably like /v/ or /b/ but I digress
月
people can have that interpretation if they want but i don't feel it's very representative of berserk or its message to even have a message in the first place seems contrary to my interpretation or the sentiments i felt from it, i guess seems more entrenched in the earnestness of the struggle and finding meaning in that directly, rather than a vibrant overtone about moving forward anyway, despite things, for something else
it's a fickle thing but i'm not really interested in what importance others ascribe to things there's a social tendency to try and make it into something you'd see on a hallmark card with a witticism about it i dont think anything really exists that way and people are too impatient to earnestly sift through dense concepts just looking for ways to put a message onto social media to get easily digested and shared/liked
Anno
I think that's a rather shallow and unfair take on people though Maybe not everyone has the p Okay sorry
月
it's not a take on people, it's a take on the tendency for people to engage in things in a shallow way that's fine if they want to, everyone's got their own priorities
月
im glad loys of people enjoyed the series though lots*
