Right, yeah, I believe they only give certain nutrients via that water though. It's not the natural diversity of soil. But I do see the benefits.
What?! No I just meant the sun. XD To use the energy we get already, no need to split atoms to make more when we already have a massive reactor at a safer distance. But Dyson spheres hmm, interesting...
Aw, to live in Colombia and not like coffee...
Nice. :) Well they are fighting for a reason after all. Or were, at least? Mmm interesting. Did you grow up on coffee too? What's your earliest coffee-related memory I wonder?
oh that's interesting. Wonder where we get our flowers from over here, you'd think it's all locally grown, hard to transport that type of stuff too far... might be. I just have no idea though. I know the wood and iron industry is huge, so might just be that.
Hmm! Well, moderately addicted... I CAN go without. True that.
Those big five almost seem like a personality ideal that no one really has. Maybe a few, rarely the entire spectrum, at least not with the people I hang out with. Interesting though. To think certain personality traits I've thought highly cultural to be all genetic. Just that our responses to experiences differ, not how we feel but how we handle those feelings... to some extent... how a Scandinavian typically handles intense stress I imagine is typically: bite down, keep going, get introverted, silent and pessimistic, and either make it through or run into a circumstance outside their planed course of situation handling that then triggers that breakdown and it'll seem like they went bananas over the most superficial thing. That or just break down immediately because we tend to get stressed all too easily over here.
Good habits man. Speaking of though: what beer's common over there? Have international brands taken over at all? Any kind of ancient herbal alcohol-based brews in circulation? I am a bit interested in those, though drink rarely.
Aha. Seems like a potential conflict of culture where certain parts are forced to adapt and other parts aren't? Back when we lived in Costa Rica nobody was on time. Thought I'd be a bit like that. You could hire a carpenter to come one day and he'd come the next instead. That's just how it was. At least back then.
Interesting! And they really are cold? Ice cold?
No no that was it. Before you mentioned that I only knew about his beneficial c-vitamin experiments.
For sure, though shops have plenty of gluten-free stuff here too. It's trending, even people who don't have problems with it go with the flow for the health benefits, much to the aggravation of people who work in traditional kitchens/cafes.
That's true. :)
10 babies at the same time, damn, powerful woman. Shows why some of her kids really are so devoted...
Huh, you regret it? I'm currently missing one book so haven't yet finished it, delivery times are crazy from the UK right now, but so far so good... I have some disappointing memories from the anime, but the manga: it's solid! Great backgrounds too. So much detail.
lol. Have no plans on picking up Boruto though! I'm fine with just the intended arc. Naruto. The man, the myth, the legend... it really tells a tale that's relevant to our time though. Conflict resolution essentials. and I love ninja culture, even took a course on Japanese History before 1868 back in university. Not that Naruto's that historically accurate but still. Some parallel universe maybe...
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure? I don't know man it sounds kinda... bizarre. I have actually been reading some shoujo manga lately too though, bit cheaper than the other stuff, really not all bad...
Cyberdevil
Potential Rock Lee inspiration now that you mention it. :) Been really reading that Naruto manga lately...
For sure. Just seems like speculation at this point, but speaking of news, what do you think of this: https://nerdhaspower.weebly.com/ratg13-is-fake.html
Mmm. Probably.
Probably not anymore, but ca forty years ago they freed up a lot of loans for those who'd moved North and exploited the land up there. All with good intentions but... it was around the same time they dried up large areas of marchland for farming. Old wet dream. Turned the ecosystem upside down apparently. They've been trying (without much real effort or resources though) to fix it since.
Huh, sounds like a real monopoly with the carries now... how did that change pricing? Pretty much the same with all three? Good to know about Netflix. Seems it has some heavy competition here, but popular too.
Reminds me of that one guy on NG covering all those religious topics, if I remember right his name's Dustin too...
Aha. Well I say aha because I really usually don't read that kind of news. XD Or news in general. Very selective about what media I follow these days. it's mostly idg.se (which I'm surprised haven't mentioned that, maybe just missed it) and torrentfreak.com
Mmm. Then again people can get stuck in abusive relationships too, fear of change doesn't necessarily imply that current live is good, just that you fear the prospect of life getting even worse with change. or that there's some part of your life you don't want to give up even if you know it's self-destructive. Not speaking for myself in particular, but comfortability and routine isn't necessarily synonymous with well being.
Btw, recent research shows people sleep worse within close range to wind turbines, something like 1km. They haven't figured out why exactly since the noise is inaudible, but seems possible frequencies can affect you even if you don't hear them. Was in the local paper the other day so don't have a source to link to here, but seems relevant to mention. Just like wireless technology even if you don't see it eh?
Wildlife has decreased drastically during the last few decades you know? Birds move further and further into the forests. Bees are sparse supply. They're not researching enough though IMO.
Yeah, hopefully financial opportunities don't way heavier than truth. The French government branch for public safety, whatever it's called, recently published some 50-70 page report detailing a worrying lack of research done with regard to 5G and public health. Slovenia have postponed their plans to build the network due to potential health risks. Switzerland and Brussels are taking the safe route too. It's a relief at least the whole world doesn't jump on the bandwagon immediately, especially since current smart technology works fine even without 4G, we already have parking meters, wastebaskets, utility meters etc that transmit via 4G, and there's plenty of bandwidth to spare. The amounts of electricity required to power the amount of base stations 5G required is insane too... current power output isn't enough. Of course they'd be phasing everything in gradually, but this is just not good for us on so many levels. Not necessary. But yeah, time and timely opposition will tell...
I don't think the world will end, but the situation for humankind definitely seems to be getting worse. You do believe in climate change right? The threat of our mindless financial pursuits? Sending up some three hundred satellites the past year apparently also increased the UV radiation in the Northern hemisphere more than usual, large ozone hole over one of the poles. Had sun blisters for the first time ever this spring, didn't even know it was a thing.
I don't think I've claimed we're headed towards an apocalypse though. :) It seems more like slow death. Infertility and general disease, people just getting more and more tired and useless under the burden of increasing radiation, pollution; all kinds of environmental strain...
Of course it'll be life as usual no matter what, there'll always be new technologies and aids that let us cope with whatever problems come our way, and humans are incredibly adaptable after all, but I'd rather the world become a better place than just continually bogged down by our baseless want for unhealthy technology. We're not the only ones living here either. Feel sorry for all wildlife that suffers at our expense. Maybe it's not as heavy there, but I feel like you can notice the effects of radiation if you just look around. Trees in line of radiation wither and die.
Ah man that's a shame. So... how's the study situation going now? All caught up?
Doomroar
Lee is the best character, a pity he doesn't gets much action or focus later on.
It is better than the previous conspiracy theory send my way saying that the virus doesn't exist and it is a product of mass hysteria. Well not the first time i am sold the idea that the CCP is covering up their bioweapons R&D, but then... this would make it quite the fuck up since they are not gaining much out of it, you would need the next piece to make that conspiracy appealing, explain the motive, the reason for the event, not for the existence of the weapon, but for its deployment, also the nice thing about man made weapons is the kill switch, so that can accelerate things if it is artificially made.
It dropped then stabilized.
Torrentfreak is your video game news source? ok.
That sounds like an old man speaking, what happened to us millennials being a bunch of manchilds?
The local papers... i will reserve my judgement, maybe your journalists still have integrity. But have some sources would be great, even if dubious, like that guy from the conspiracy about the virus being man made? he didn't had a lot of sources but he had some sources to back his stuff.
Yeah but that has more to do with city expansion than with wind turbines and cellphone towers, because it comes naturally with city development since before cellphone towers.
But for thinks like autonomous cars, real time streaming and derivative products you would need 5G, if you want a more real concern think about the amount of pint point accurate geolocation data that will be able to be handled with such tech, since they are aiming for real time transmission.
I do believe in climate change, but not as a byproduct of space expansionism, for example the ozone layer is closing,
https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2019/2019-ozone-hole-is-the-smallest-on-record-since-its-discovery
But that doesn't means climate change is regulating itself, it is getting worse because we still have not dealt with other pollutants and carbon emitters.
We haven't had high enough radiation based tech over here to see trees wither and die, so i can't say i notice such effects.
I managed to hustle my way into postponing things for the next semester, and will change the thing to an state of the art review rather than an experiment, that way i deal with less people, with less protocols, permissions. In a way everyone that said this was gonna happen ended being right, i however will shift the blame on the pandemic just so to deny them the right of being right.
Yeah they only get certain nutrients.
So you are ok with the Dyson sphere?
I don't remember much of my own infancy, so my earliest coffee memory is around 10 or older, probably, i was on a trip don't remember where, but we had to pass the cordillera, it was quite cold and we made a stop at a restaurant, and i drank hot coffee mixed with cacao and cheese, yes white cheese inside the beverage, don't even remember what it tastes like, probably burnt my tongue, but i think it was good, or odd enough to remember.
Wood and iron? there's a dick joke somewhere to be made there XD.
Says it has a mild addiction, and can quit anytime he wants, yeah that sounds like an addi... someone that is totally not an addict.
The big 5 are shown as the ideal positive ones, but people are mixes of the spectrum, but it is usually expected of them to be mostly made from the standard ones. You know the wikipedia article puts a really heavy emphasis on how personality is molded by the environment, and just a lil bit on genetics, i find it interesting to see you focusing on that part. Could it be because you associate national identity with biological heritage?
No idea, i try to stay away from alcohol so i don't pay much attention to that part of life, i do know however that for like 6 years fruit flavored Heineken became really popular with women, or at least it was very popular with women 6 years ago, i... have not been on the game field for a bit. As for local exotic alcohol, i suppose there must be a bunch, but again, no idea, other than beer the most common thing is aguardiente / firewater.
No idea, i sure would love to know why public transportation gets away with it, it is just expected that it wont be on time.
Na, i don't think i have ever taken an actual ice cold shower, just cold, hell probably it is actually just fresh compared to ice cold, maybe even warm.
But then you never mentioned the controversial things you found about him, while reading about his Vitamin-C research.
She is called Big Mom, for she is actually big, and quite a fertile woman.
Oh man that final arc of Naruto is a mess, a mess, i regret it a lot.
That's good, Boruto is quite mediocre, but if you actually want to end the story of Naruto, you will have to watch The Last Naruto the Movie, i think that's when the series actually ends covering something really important, it was also quite a meh movie, infuriating even, but well Naruto was never one to handle social relationships.
You telling me that historically ninjas didn't wear bright orange jumpsuits and screamed their attacks at their enemies in the middle of the day!?
I wont ask, i probably only liked 3 shojou manga in my life and i can't even remember their names.
Well lets hope we learn from the pandemic to change our ways.
