Looks like he has gotten 6 holdouts to flip to voting for him, but he needs 18 of the 21 holdouts to flip. It appears it will be going to round 13 lol.

Not well, Kevin McCarthy has lost 11 straight votes for Speaker of the House, and nobody can be sworn in until a Speaker is elected. They started voting 3 days ago.

The only two drugs I know of that are mass-dependent are DXM and alcohol. Where are you getting that, in general, more mass = higher necessary dosage?

>It is likely that the minimum dose to achieve this effect varies by mass.
Why do you say this is likely?

This is why when I drink 2 bottles of cough syrup, I prefer the DXM kind.

Me and some friends did this in college for the fun of it too, but we used baker's yeast instead of bread.

Did you not realize you can get 5L of boxed wine for like 10 bucks?

Yes, but I meant more: how is conscious remembering beneficial to evolution? Utilizing previously gained information does not require consciousness. So I was wondering, what would it add to the equation?

I'm not so sure. What if someone had no sensory input? Like they are completely blind, deaf, no tactile sensations, can't detect gravity, etc. Could they be conscious? Could they still form thoughts that they are aware of?
I'd say consciousness is simply awareness. Not necessarily of sensory inputs, but of anything.
