Nuke

most of the diagnoses ive had have been of questionable quality. getting an actual psychiatrist to sign off on what you have so you can actually get services is the hard part (they will hand out meds on the spot though, treating symptoms only). you can wait six months for one appointment, and thats not enough time to get an idea for whats going on. how to fit 40 years of failure and trauma into a 30 minute session. and that's even if you are willing to talk about it with a complete stranger. still not comfortable talking about certain things with my therapist who i have been seeing for a couple years now. the word of a therapist also carries very little weight with the bureaucrats.

i see christmas starting in september has crept into horror movies.

well i went to school in the 90s and graduated in 2000 (mid semester because i wanted to finish my electronics program, id have graduated in 1999 otherwise). the only opt in i got was for my vocational classes which was at a different school (none of them were near where i lived, so i spent much of the day on buses). i was given no choice about spec ed. its like the school district rounded up all its troublemakers, boat rockers, and kids with learning disabilities and dumped them into one school. i always questioned the logic of putting autistic kids with the psychopaths. a point system was like two thirds of our grade so anyone with an iq over 100 could game the system and graduate with very little effort. the teachers who worked there were great for the most part, but the system they worked under was highly flawed. teaching us material four grades under our level. it always bugged me that i had to take a math class for the credit, and they never got any further than doing fractions it seemed, meanwhile i was doing far more complex math in my electronics class (the alternating current unit was hell).

he does have a point. you might be turned down for jobs or military service for your mental disabilities, but then the disability people will tell you that you are not disabled. at least that's been my experience. i was spec ed in high school and most of the other students at the time, we knew we had all been singled out by society and kept down and that any special treatment we were getting would go away the second we turned 18 and we would be thrown to the wolves. some prepared (i did the stem classes), some avoided it, some accepted their lot in life, one of my friends committed suicide. when columbine happened we saw those guys as freedom fighters, my friends all bought black trench coats. i don't condone this kind of violence though, the fact that it continues and at much higher magnitude is disgusting. this is just how we felt at the time (and keep in mind it wasn't omnipresent like it is today). the fact that this started happened right around the time we moved into participation trophy era could not have been a coincidence. we need to take a good hard look at whatever policy changes happened during that time frame and have persisted to this day and ask if it is worth it to continue on this way. so what the schools need to do is to take a much more hands off approach. provide the stem education for those that want it (autistic people seem to gravitate towards those fields on their own without any help, i know i did), but don't force it. don't push labels on kids or categorize them for convenience sake. don't segregate them from the normies. these are the people they will have to live with on a daily basis. they never consider what those kids lives will be like when they are adults. they assume that the government that pays their salaries will take care of them, but that couldn't be further from the truth. and Darn it get the politics out of the classroom. one side or the other's vision is not reality and reality is a beast. ugh, and i came here to complain about my circadian rythems being offset by 12 hours, but that seems unimportant now.

this thing wasn't pushed out on april fools day was it?

if you can cancel gravity you can get to orbit with a box fan. hell you could probably just flap your arms a lot (assuming your gravity canceler and its power supply fit in a backpack).

well i still got my original disc, if i can find a functional cd drive.

just read on hack a day that they released the source code for descent 3. need to figure out how to compile for steam deck.

unfortunately grandpa died some 20 years ago and the collection has been liquidated by greedy members of the family (read most of them). the only thing i got was a massive roll of rosin core 60-40 solder, which i still haven't used up yet. i kind of wanted to make the ancient tv run doom.

check your tax codes, donations to science might be tax deductable.

my head canon is that its an 8 track. my grandpa was an electronics repairman so i saw all kinds of gizmos visiting the grandparents. they also collected antiques. when there was some overlap awesomeness ensued. old timey radios, betamax, a very early tv with a tiny screen, all functional of course.

so the bounty would need to be higher than its value as scrap. is it just me or do those tiles look shinier? looks almost like a snake skin.

wouldn't be surprised if space-x had bounties for 3rd party hardware recovery.

your expensive space hardware has just become my new sail boat.

despite my nuke theme going on here i have never played fallout nor half life.

im starting to like the whole disembodied brain thing. rocket science and brain surgery together at last.

sounds like the perfect little drive for shotgun space exploration.

i can agree there.

oj simpson was killed by flattus maximus' battleaxe prostate cancer. whether he did it or not is an exercise for the reader.

im remembering an article i read a week ago so it may not specifically be the tx buffer. voyager's memory has fared better than mine. looks like its not a tx buffer proper but an intermediate buffer for formatting the data for transmission. still something you can address to an unused block.

best tape decks in the known universe. i think the real solution is to remap the tx buffer into an unused memory location. since there are a lot of systems you can no longer use due to lack of power, and other failures. if some of those have memory mapped i/o, you mighty be able to use that memory space for a new buffer. while this is trivial to do in asm, there just isnt any hardware you can test and verify this earth side.

angry, depressed, demoralized workers do shoddy work. its as simple as that.

yes, but statecraft would require more attention than you could split between it and scientific endeavors. even if you have all the cheat codes.

there is a problem where in that the leaders tend to not be the ones very good at technological progress. look how well congress or any other governing body understands science and technology. stem fielders they are not. you would be better off giving the knowledge to archimedes or davinci or the like. also im not convinced one person could know everything, eventually you will reach a limit to what you can store in the brain. i have a feeling if you dumped all the worlds knowledge into one mind, you would just drive it to madness.

judas priest's new album is pretty damn good.
