The one time I used it over a few weeks was a generic brand. The on-label effect worked, but I had one disturbing side effect: terrible nightmares. Unscientific conclusion, but the nights I took it when with my new gf at the time, nightmare

The "drop out" part isn't meant to be permanent or literal. Even Tim Leary kept busy writing books, teaching, giving talks and generally making a living. Nothing wrong with boosting creativity. The choice of directing that cr

Your comment epitomizes the staunch posturing of the expressive political circus that brought this case in the first place. > "therefore today he's a criminal and a felon"... This token is repeated ad nauseam. As if the ob

Australian here. My 2 cents. For some reason I kinda like Trump in spite of his antics & theatrics. "Like" may be a strong word. In some respects I "like" Biden too, I've enjoyed some of his speeches, the cohere

Yes but they wanted to make "webapps". Maybe some people use wordpress for single page apps? Not sure how that is done or why anyone would try!

Underwhelming approaching comically pointless. On a UX note, the button "TRY ME NOW" should be re-labelled "SIGN UP NOW" because that's exactly what the button does. "Make Your Business Leap Off the Screen"

Nice. I like how it's full screen and responds fluidly to changing the browser window size. Cool how it pauses when switching browser tabs. My RTX-3080* hums a little louder during the sim but not too much. I'm getting about 57 fp

Interestingly, until your comment I hadn't made any connection with old Flash, even though I spent hundreds of hours making Flash games. This suggests names don't stick around for long and can be re-used. Perhaps Google could brin

Funny if true. Perhaps in some generated video it will suddenly interrupt the sequence with pretend unskippable ads for phone cases & VPNs.

Maybe this whole saga is the ad, including controversy + fixit job. In reverse though it's still destruction... not a big deal because it's just an ad, but kind of oddly arrogant? Hard to describe. If a more peaceful but still Sky

Actual destruction isn't relevant. The idea of destroying musical instruments because a new iPad is in town, is jarring. The ad lingers on pointless destruction. Why not spend the time showing the new iPad? It's sad when advertisi

Makes sense, so it's an exercise in efficiency and crafty creative use of shapes and keyframing. I wonder if the ability is within reach of AI to achieve a similar arrangement of CSS. It may be too hard due to the trial and error natur

Do we know if these were all hand-coded? I gather there's vector drawing tools that can make these kinds of graphics.. But perhaps those tools can't output CSS attached to one div?

Okay but if the content is automated, the author avoids making publishing decisions about specific output. I take your point about mirrors and consent. But if the mirrors are installed in a public place such as local park, passers-by are o

You'll need to do better than "pedo-guy" to quality your statement. What you call "disagree" was actually a public attack from the diver out of nowhere. Musk didn't know him. The guy went to the media and claim
