  • I have experienced this, a grand total of twice, but not for 5-10 minutes (once I was in a towel and came back around vibrating on the floor which was confusing but probably was the longest one at a minute or two).

    I was a chronic joint smoker and would get lightheaded standing up in general. Typically since having switched to vaping it no longer happens. Is the high otherwise pleasurable for you?

    Do you have a heart/lung/blood pressure condition in general?

  • I imagine it's order is:

    Ink

    Engrave

    Wipe off excess ink.

    So basically you use a little bit of ink roughly where the typeface will be, when the laser melts the plastic, some pigment will diffuse into the melted plastic, but the unmelted/undiffused stuff is still removable.

    If I had to guess this is how it's actually done on the nicer older keycaps.

    Though I could be entirely wrong here...

  • On theme though not literally an aeroplane; the parachuter toys, like little army men that have a parachute on them that you throw out of windows/down the stairs, they were always an absolutely favourite of mine.

    Make sure to get the type with netting that connects the parachute to the person as opposed to strings as it can never tangle

  • But storage without inpacting available energy requires an excess, and the current shortfall of renewables is that there isn't enough energy produced for a significant excess (same goes for nuclear). Either way I was addressing the literal aspect of energy generation being 24/7 with nuclear.

    Not to mention I could see viable uses for nuclear still, especially in processes that are effectively 24/7 hot water production via heat exchangers for providing heating to literal cities, energy production for large arc furnaces.

    And don't mistake my view of nuclear as not seeing the benefits of renewable, my father lived on a boat where the heating and appliances were all run via solar panels and forklift batteries for more than 10 years of his life.

  • I mean you can vary it pretty significantly depending on the reactor type, but even if you couldn't you can still put the energy to work in alternative ways, such as pumping water up into reservoirs/damns to generate energy at other points, or using the excess energy to split water. There are many ways to use excess energy.

  • I can't tell if this is a real person posting this or not, but the article posted reads like AI generated content.

    Even if it's not, I wouldn't trust an article that gives advice on choosing roofers and then uses corrugated abestos fibre cement roofing in their title picture. It probably means the person writing it doesn't have a clue (assuming it is a person and not AI spam)

  • Did you read the description of the book the guy linked?

    This is an objective biographical study of Crowley written by someone who lived and worked intimately with him. Dr. Regardie observed "The Great Beast" at close quarters while serving as his personal secretary. The Eye in the Triangle was written many years later, after long contemplation. Regardie combines the psychological insight afforded by his professional training as a Reichian analyst with his grasp of Crowley's magical personality.

    It's likely that the passage wasn't written by Crowley himself, so a source like the one linked may be useful.

    Also Libgen if you'd rather download the book and ctrl+f the passage you're looking for

  • So you normally can be ok for a day or so, might be a little bit more sensitive, some people get panic attacks/heightened anxiety, some get a feeling of emptyness or depression. It really varies on the individual, where they are and what's going on in their life.

    There were days were I'd have a meltdown if I missed a day. By comparison; one day about a month or two after having stopped smoking tobacco due to having COVID, I felt like I didn't need it and just stopped with basically no negatives, though I was also in a good place in terms of my life which likely helped.

    Personally if people are curious about SSRIs, I'd suggest they look into Vortioxetine, it's technically not an SSRI, which means it has much fewer side effects, but still does the same job as them, just with less foggy cognition/groggyness

  • They can work, though I'm always reluctant to suggest using them, unless you have one that you can spare without worry of ruining the oven (offgassing from components/PCB/flux), the other problem is ovens can be a lot more variable in temperature than you'd think, and in this scenario where it may even be the chips showing their age, subjecting them to very high temperatures isn't recommended.

    Honestly when I bought a small £20 heatgun (smaller than the type you'd use to strip paint), I was kicking myself for not having bought one sooner, they make surface mounted components an absolute breeze Vs using a soldering iron.

    The one exception for using ovens is if you're having to do an intricate board with hundreds of components, then I'd suggest buying a small/medium toaster over, and an oven thermometer for more accurate readings.

  • I've only ever really taken them in the morning, I typically risk forgetting to take them in the evenings causing a headache for myself the next day. Beyond that I assumed most people took them in the morning.

    Certain meds can make you drowsy and others can make you groggy but restless, the former are better before bed, the latter are better had in the morning.

  • It's also useful for other addiction treatment for things like meth, etc. IIRC it can also be used to cycle with ADHD meds to reduce tolerance, (though if taken with them, you don't get any benefit from the ADHD med).

    NAC is also useful for things like COPD, and weirdly is a pretty great chelation agent for heavy metals and I want to say is also used for paracetamol overdose.

    Semi-related: is there a nootropic/drugnerds community on Lemmy yet?

  • That straight line thing really frustrated me, one of the things that I loved about Pokémon as a kid was going one route, noticing somewhere I can't get to due to lack of HM then exploring the map again much later discovering all these little secrets. It made the world feel just that little bit more like there's still something to discover.

  • I'm still salty they removed the base building from BD/SP, it made the underground feel more personal/less grindy than what we got (and the fact that they didn't include the platinum e extra content in the remakes)

  • I'm going to take a slightly different approach of what productivety means here; for me it's literally just making my things in my life less time consuming, easier to access and return to.

    With that in mind, I use Google photos to automatically back up my photos, this could be anything from wiring diagrams, patio brick layouts, a quote in a book, to a mushroom I'm wanting to identify.

    I use the app plantnet if I'm wanting to identify a plant.

    I use the app seeker to download music from soulseek

    I upload any research papers/books downloaded from scihub/libgen to gdrive for easier access in the future.

    This is of course ignoring all of the notes/timers/reminders I use my phone for as well

  • There's an alley by my house where all the cats hang out, some are spooked by people and hide under cars, others lie in wait under cars to ambush you for pets as you walk past.

    It's taken a solid 10 minutes to walk 200m before due to the cats wanting fuss

  • https://pressgazette.co.uk/publishers/nationals/guardian-steve-bell-cartoon-netanyahu/ this article goes into the past accusations a bit more, tbh I'm struggling to see it as well:

    " The incident is not the first involving Bell, The Guardian and allegations of anti-Semitism against his cartoons. In 2018 he said he was censored by the newspaper’s editor, Katharine Viner, when the editorial team declined to publish a cartoon depicting a Palestinian medic shot dead by Israeli forces in a fireplace besides Netanyahu and then-prime minister Theresa May.

    Bell subsequently sent the cartoon in an email to the entire Guardian editorial staff, from where it was leaked to Huffpost. Critics argued the image evoked Nazi gas chambers, which Bell responded was “the last thing on my mind when I drew it”.

    Viner told The Guardian’s reader’s editor that Bell’s point “could easily have been made in a way that didn’t reference fire or ovens”.

    In 2019, another of Bell’s cartoons – this time depicting Labour deputy leader Tom Watson as a witch hunter looking for anti-Semitic tropes – was blocked. In November 2020, The Guardian received 32 complaints of anti-Semitic imagery over a Bell cartoon which did make it to print and depicted Labour leader Keir Starmer holding the head of predecessor Jeremy Corbyn on a plate, alluding to the beheading of St John the Baptist. "

  • As the pay, support and education for officers diminishes, the police as a profession become less attractive to those who are intelligent/educated, who might carry a slightly authoritarian slant but ultimately view their role in the context of being beneficial to society/preventing crime etc.

    Due to Tory cuts to forces, the numbers of those who are more thuggish, less educated, more racist, and generally shouldn't be policing wider society due to unchecked and unchallenged beliefs increases.

    I know people who hadn't achieved their GCSEs saying that it didn't matter as they'd become police.

    Like I'm personally not the biggest fan of the police, but those who were educated enough to get better jobs but stayed in the force because they believed they were genuinely helping have left, only leaving mostly those who seek power/control over other people. Obviously this is a general sweeping statement, but like everything else under Tory rule it's been hollowed out.

  • I think people have given the requested advice, so I'm just going to say unless you know the age of the soffits, be a little bit wary as there may be asbestos fibre board behind the PVC outer, shouldn't matter unless disturbed, but just be aware
