I read that as they were expecting a “regular” N,N-DMT vape cart but instead are getting 5-MeO-DMT.

To make an informed decision on whether or not they want to watch something created by a creep. How is that hard to grasp?

People should be aware the show starred a creep.

Yeah the “I read it for the articles!” claim does have a nugget of truth to it, lots of well known authors published stories in the magazine, Jimmy Carter even sat for an interview with the magazine.

“Disco naps” and caffeine.

I mentioned it to the person you’re replying to but if you’re in the USA and considering. in offloading the Moonlander I’m interested. My email is available in my profile.

Erlang is so freaking cool, I’ve been itching for a project to use it (or Elixir, especially because I’m a huge Ruby fan) with ever since I learned about it/OTP when digging into the internals of Chef (server) and RabbitMQ, followed up by the book “Learn You Some Erlang For Great Good!” (an adaption of /book inspired by another wonderful book I read called “Learn You a Haskell for Great Good!”).

Non-sequitur but I used to bike past a “Haskell Street” on the way to/from a previous job and it always made me smile.

Something that seems similar that doesn’t appear to be complete bunk is the Overview Effect[0]. It even has a corresponding video[1] (14 years old so definitely not made with AI)
