Possibly ADHD medication. If its just this I wouldn't worry about it, but might want to consider if you have other symptoms that are negatively affecting your life.

Cause it doesn't really make a difference. Any "meaning of life" you can come up with is going to be just as relevant if we are in a simulation or a hologram or part of a multi-verse or anything else

My experiences may differ but my consciousness is the same. We are both humans after all, if I had been born without eyes and everything else the same, I would be a much different person, but the same consciousness.

It's very possible. But weird to think about. I mean is there even different types of consciousness? Different ways to obtain consciousness, sure I can see that. But is the end result different?

Yea I guess I did not mean to downplay it. Saying its the biggest discovery in human history probably would be true. I just don't think people would kill themselves over it. We don't really think we are special in the universe in any way as it is, so I don't see how being in a simulation would make that much different.

I mean would it really change much? I imagine the religious people might flip out, but the rest of us will realize it doesn't change much.

I mean thats a crazy statement to say it can NEVER get there. But saying it wont get their in our lifetimes or our grandchildrens lifetimes, or even in humanity's lifetime if you think we are gonna kill ourselves soon, might be reasonable.

>The personality you have today is no longer the same as the one you had 10 years ago.
I agree 100%, and I often ask people this question:
Do you think your consciousness now is the same consciousness of your 5 year old self?

Yep we are just biological computing machines. We aren't even that impressive or big or smart ones, but we are EXTREMELY complicated ones. Progress in understanding how the brain works is going to be a slow journey.

Reply to comment by VapidActions in Tortoise vs Hare by toonhole
Yes so up would mean radially outward. And yea I usually just hear it referred to as the Coriolis effect instead of force.
I'm familiar with doing calculations for an object south/north bound but I don't recall with one travelling vertically upward.
So if I think about it since the angular velocity is constant as you travel vertically but the tangential velocity is not, that would mean a bullet fired up would eventually be travelling slower then the air around it with its East/west component of tangential velocity. Which would push it, but then on the way down I can't help but feel it would have the opposite effect and kind of cancel out.
SO in the northern hemisphere if I shoot a bullet up (radially outward) which direction would it land? Perhaps I'm not understanding it.

Does Coriolis effect work on things shot straight up? I thought it was just north/southbound. But its been a while since learning it.

I mean that's pretty slow. Might draw blood for a person. But I suppose for a tortoise might be a bit worse.

Reply to comment by alxwx in Tortoise vs Hare by toonhole
Bullets fired straight up reach terminal velocity on their way down due to air resistance, so this would only happen if there wasn't air resistance. i.e in a vacuum.
(not to undermine lots of people being hurt my stray bullets fired into the air, but they aren't fired straight up)

I cant think of a solution that would be faster then filling the holes individually. If you roll joint compound I imagine you are still going to need to smooth it out, and unless you are good at that it would probably be a pain.
What kind of nail holes, are they small? One idea I can think of is just get a texture hopper and spray the compound on instead. Id do a light/fine texture pattern but just spray it on heavy till the holes are covered lol. Would still probably be longer then filling them individually as you would have to do the whole wall to make it even.

Reply to comment by rba22 in Will Pluto ever be a planet? by twurbster
Thats the difference between "would it ever be recognized as a planet again" vs "will it ever be a planet again". It was NEVER a planet based on current definitions, but it was called a planet in the past.
Is OP asking if definitions might change calling it a planet, or is op asking will it somehow fit current definitions in the future.

I imagine the answer to op's question would be whether or not its healthy like you stated.
>At the other end of the spectrum I’ve read about someone who died of starvation while still obese.
Was this person in a trial where they were getting the necessary vitamins/electrolytes or were they just fasting on their own? And how long? I am curious but there doesn't seem to be a lot of studies like with Angus.
>The problem is that there is no protein coming in
I am pretty sure some of the supplements Angus was taking included amino acids.

I have seen several long fasts, although nothing as long as Angus. More like a month. But I have no reason to doubt it, so I don't see why you would make claims that it cant be done.

>Your body cannot convert fat back into usable energy in large enough quantities to survive. You will starve, even if properly hydrated and vitamin'd.
Isn't the point of Angus Barbieri that you can? Or do you think that case was a fluke/faked?

Reply to LPT: when ordering on Amazon, if given the option, always select "subscription" for sizable discount. by SerenityNowWow
Would this be considered an ULPT?
EDIT: I mean I assume that the seller is the one who sets the discount price for subscription, and I bet they did that based off of what they would benefit for further purchases. Not everyone selling on Amazon IS amazon.
That being said I have no idea how it works. Its possible that amazon reimburses the discount amount to the seller if the customer cancels like OP is doing, but I doubt it.
Also I think OP blocked me, so I can't reply to anyone in this thread.
Edit for ShadeBaron Cause OP blocked me: Unethical does not mean prohibited or illegal. Many things can be unethical without being illegal or prohibited, and likewise something can be ethical despite actually being illegal.
Also I want to point out that I was not suggesting that it is for sure unethical, just was opening it up for discussion. For instance using a trial with 1 month free and cancelling after the first month, I do not see that to be unethical, and I can see how this can be a similar idea. And I do not think there is a situation where they would ever discount it so much so that they are losing money, considering the discount is applied to every order they would never make money off of you.
