The disturbing part of this idea is that once humans create a computer similar enough to our own brain, it will just inherently be conscious. “Organic” or not.

Hadn’t really thought of it that way before. I’ve considered the possibility of an exterior source before but not that it might have something to do with sleep.

These days I’m more leaning to consciousness being the result of some convergence of our neural architecture.

It’s like asking the question of, “where’s the user environment of a computer?”

Well, it’s in the RAM… Except it’s also streaming through the CPU, oh also it’s on the monitor but that isn’t what it actually looks like, however it actually originates from the SSD.

None of these individual components matter in a truly meaningful way without all of them. It is the same with the brain, take out any part of it and effectiveness is diminished or outright bricked.

Ha! Nah, Federal law doesn’t require a lunch period, or breaks, at all. It’s all state side.

Only thing is that if an employer gives a short break, like 5-20 mins, it must be paid and included in overtime.

Series increases voltage, parallel increases capacity. the more you know

I had mine at 26 and wasn’t even married. No kids. Had one interview where the doctor made sure I was properly informed, had the procedure done like the next week or something when the schedule had an opening.

In a very conservative state too. Not Missouri conservative… But definitely not California either. Lol This was nearly 10 years ago. No regrets.

Considering how confusingly powerful the placebo effect is, learning how to safely activate it for the greatest effect is pretty close to real magic.

We basically run on tiny combustion engines. Exothermic reactions.

We aren’t a passive 98 degrees, we would be hotter if it wasn’t cool enough outside. Higher heat would cause different cellular structures to become misshapen, leading to system breakdown. I’d be like trying to run a cpu cooling loop with boiling water.

This article is a mirage.

“Nothing behind P2025 at all, see? So stop worrying about it and thinking about it…”

It makes sense when you realize white isn’t/wasn’t a race. It’s a social status thinly veiled as a race.

It only works if that one country is the good ol’ US of A. Lol

Been tested for ADHD? Its effects on your life can be far more wide reaching than its name suggests.

Yeah my motherboard is an old tomahawk b450 and its bios looks like “newer” version.

I hate to say it but maybe the newest bios is going to strip away some of the features and the better looking one is actually the old version? Perhaps to cut down on development costs because profits like always? I can only speculate.

Not sure which video specifically, but it appears to be a really neat animation YouTube channel that’s probably going to be my new fixation. Lol

Pre or post pop?

Ah! I have another whistling method! I can use my throat. It’s like a heavily modified sigh? It’s the best way I can describe how to even try to do it.

With practice I think I could get it loud enough to be disorientating to the unsuspecting though. Lol

What protects from cold also protects from heat. Insulation goes both ways. Your natural body temp is lower than 100F and if humidity is compromising evaporative cooling that sweat would give you… It’s better to insulate yourself from the heat. Also sun is bad.

Law is 100% semantics. I don’t need cool points. I’ll be the squarest person in the room if it means police don’t get their way.

Did they actually say they own the acronym for LAPD? Because… It’s not an acronym. Unless this whole time we’ve been meant to say LAP’D like the racing term… Or perhaps lahpud? Laypeedee? Hmmm the last one sounds a little too French adjacent perhaps.

As problematic as it would be… You know most of them would abso-fucking-lutely hate it.

Which highlights the, almost assured, possibility that they would hate being called arab more than bastards.

His other works are great too.
