Apparently one too many for Tesla... https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a40260652/teslas-autopilot-nhtsa-investigation-recall-possible/ Tesla brags that their "autopilot" never causes an accident. But that's because if the system senses an imminent crash, the autopilot shuts down. They say...

Apparently Steam tracks "Steam VR" hours as its own "game". I bought my gaming laptop and Oculus a little over a year ago. It says I have just over 500 hours in Steam VR. I'd like to see an audit. Because that would mean I spent almost a whole month in the Mentalverse. No fuckin way. I...

Yeah, that's the thing. Garbage-in-garbage-out still seems to apply even if we're talking about AI. Sometimes I think truly general AI, where you could just type an English prompt like "Hey Siri, forecast sales opportunities based on the last 5 years of sales data" is decades away. At the...

RIP to one of the greats. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/philip-baker-hall-dead-seinfeld-library-cop-dies-1235164442/

Have you tried temp stepping? When I went from trying to get everything in one hit to spreading it out among a few temp stepped hits the herb was much more evenly cooked.

Something tells me the mass shooters who allegedly used cannabis also drank beer. Maybe there should be a dumbass op-ed about how beer causes mass shootings. As someone who used to live near a downtown bar district and has also hung out with stoners, I can tell you which drug is more likely to...

Man, this is way too soon for Skynet to go live. I thought I had at least another 5-10 years. I've been pretty rude to Siri and Alexa over the years. So I know the robots are coming for me when the time comes. More seriously, I'm pretty skeptical this AI is sentient. I have access to GPT3...

Rupert Murdoch's assault on cannabis legalization continues. https://www.wsj.com/articles/cannabis-and-the-violent-crime-surge-marijuana-pot-use-thc-shootings-psychosis-mental-11654540197?mod=e2tw This opinion piece is so fucking stupid. I bet the author gets paid well into six figures to...

I’m pretty sure they do something like that in Japan. You need two character references before buying a gun. Though I like the social media check idea better. Almost every mass shooter posts startling shit online before the act. Modern "gun culture" is mostly a creation of the gun industry...

I bought mine in early 2021. I also placed an Amazon order the same day. The TM got to me from Finland quicker than the Amazon order from their warehouse 5 miles away.

Cannabis has a long history of relatively safe use in humans. This drug made by a company that profited heavily from the opioid crisis does not. Personally, I’d just start slowly subbing in hemp flower for normal weed before I’d let pharma bros mess around with my cannabinoid receptors. But I...

Great “innovation” from the pharma industry. Take your time on cancer, boys. No rush.

It was a sativa leaning strain, Dutch Hawaiian, so that may have helped. It's been a while since I've experimented with shrooms, but my guess is the small cannabis dose provided fewer of the nootropic benefits of shrooms. Psilocybin can increase perception and visual acuity. But it also...

My experiment doing a minimal-dose gave me effects that I could perceive, but just barely. It was like a nootropic. I should probably experiment with experiencing cannabis in this way, but I really value at least mild inebriation at night and don't want to negatively affect my tolerance and...

Yeah, I'm not a microdoser. I am a minimum-effective-dose-doser.

I don't know what the official definition of microdosing is. I usually only consume THC after 5pm. But yesterday I tried just the tiniest sprinkle of sativa flower in the morning with my coffee. Like 4 little pieces of coarse ground flower. Definitely didn't get "high" but there was...
