We're not co-authoring a scientific paper, we're chatting about potential explanations for a variety of disparate but strange reports from various branches of the govt about a variety of recent evidence on UFOs. There's multi

And yet we don’t know everything, so shooting anything not currently explainable down as implausible is even less plausibly right! Not to mention that there’s tons of really interesting explanations grounded in science that could explain ei

One of my scenarios was inter dimensional entities. The other was just sufficiently advanced tech. It’s funny you ad hominem the first one and ignore the second.

I didn’t argue for it or make any claim, you’re way distorting what I said which is just that shooting down the simplest form of alien arguments doesn’t shoot them all down, and offered two. The many-worlds quantum interpretations have many

Great points. Don’t fret the downvotes. It’s cooler to be proven right in the face of popular doubt.

It definitely would have seemed ridiculous to me before I took a heroic dose of psychedelics. Now, it seems ridiculous to rule it out.

Many of the best physicists I guess argue for fairies as well. In the context of many US government military officers and senators confirming evidence of fairy like vehicles.

Aliens that are alternate dimensional / advanced technologically could control the release of their existence through various means, while still having some incentive to reveal themselves in stages that seem plausible to us. Imagining

Was nodding along until you brought up Marvel, I’ll never understand how so many people like them. I can’t get past how incredibly cheesy and overly dramatic they are.

There’s lots of interesting BDNF promoting peptides you may want to check into. /r/peptides has some info. Not a doctor. https://www.reddit.com/r/Peptides/comments/t5qk0o/what_is_th...

Correlated but at what level of the bell curve? I think they are correlated but vary a lot within similar bands, to the point where the broad correlation is actually not interesting and the within-band correlation is much more so. Adding on

But all of those places have a lot of bums accosting people and shouting, tents right along main walkways, poop in the streets, etc.

I think the idea was more if the threshold effect is 1 microgram and you're exposed to 100 picograms of 10 different chemicals.

Are we claiming the Mission is nice? Because it's really not, even the nicer parts worsened pre, during, post pandemic.

Does this mean some type of monkey patch could force the M2 screen to display a bit brighter? Because that’s my biggest gripe with it, I wish the screen would get to at least double the current max brightness.

Good to hear about your experience, and we’ve steadily improved the onboarding costs. Also have a new starter kit coming soon that goes all in on batteries included. When did you last try it? Because it’s improved dramatically since January

The beta https://beta.aidungeon.com is pretty nice, not sure if the app is public yet or still on TestFlight.

A lot of people saying it doesn’t exist or work, but as the creator of Tamagui, I have to vouch for it. I think it works pretty amazingly, and we have some really beautiful apps in every App Store (plus web).

I’ve been getting and continue to get value from crypto for a multitude of uses. There’s tons of people using it actively, so I just wonder why you choose to ignore that. A lot more than the very marginal value ML did for its first decades

ML existed since the middle of the last century but has only really found its legs as of late, but I didn’t see a lot of people make fun of it for not being perfect within a decade.

I agree with you! Re read my comment, I was just also critiquing the crypto haters.

by nwienert 3y ago
The thing is this could easily be done without crypto - once again another braindead example of crypto still lacking any use case whatsoever and only appealing to fools. Just kidding (another example of a dumb HN comment you see on every cr

I still think relatively it’s possible more moderated here, if you just remove the most popular reddits which I’d guess most here ignore.

I think that thinking of HN as anything close to being free speech though is a really wrong take. Sure it’s less leftist biased which is nice, but for example the title changes aren’t just to reduce controversy, they consistently favor the
