The insecurity you must experience. Bill Krozby has never claimed to have money. Your the one who feels inferior as evidenced by your constant need to tell others how much money you have. The fact that you post here and think your wealthy is sad. Not one person here will ever have true monetary wealth. But there are a few lucky bastards that understand true wealth is not locked in a vault but found in freeing yourself from the chains that your idea of wealth forges. The freedom to go where you want as the years roll by and never having to worrying about food, shelter, clothing, or any other true needs us more wealth than one man can spend.
So sit there in your palatial hovel pricing it, your possessions, and your worthless paper as your enslavement continues.

2017-04-21 at 12:36 PM UTC in Anyone here ever have problems with girls?Christ you are so fucking boring. What difference does it make what the god damn cat was wearing, AND the reason why it was wearing that?? In fact it looks like that whole first part of the story had nothing to do with the rest of it, other than the fact that it's ALSO an event that happened during your lifetime.
Are you fucking 5 years old? Can you not sort through your own internal dialogue well enough to separate inane bullshit from the actual point that you're trying to communicate?
That whole wall of verbal diarrhea could have been compressed to maybe one paragraph and possibly could have been interesting enough to even read. MAYBE.
My god you're just a username on a screen and I fucking hate you. How can anyone in real life stand to be around you for more than 10 seconds.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Malice I find it to be a nice effect, sexual desires are so crude and the pleasures fleeting, it traps you in a horrible cycle that cucks like Lanny attempt to rationalize.
What sounds more like rationalization: accepting you have inevitable biological needs and desires and acting to satiate them or saying that through pure rationality running on a shitty ape brain you've come to the conclusion the things that have defined your ancestors for longer than they've been human just isn't for you?Like, why are you still with church girl? Isn't it an embarrassment on some level? Don't you feel any sense of self-disgust?
Because I like her, and sex feels good, and human companionship is nice? Is the courtship ritual absurd? Totally. Is the biological compulsion to participate in it frustrating at times? Yeah. But eating and sleeping and brushing my teeth are all annoying indignities too but they're all necessary to sustain higher order functions.
Originally posted by Malice Heyyyyy, are you so socially inept that all your friends/acquaintances are in the CS field, or do you have anyone who would be interested in a case study in genuine anthropophobia?
No one who's in the social sciences. But you blew off your last psychiatrist right? You should go back, give treatment a real chance instead of thinking you always know better than everyone else.
Originally posted by Malice Anyway, Lanny, since it was so easy to convince you to try meth you should also try cocaine:

Originally posted by Captain Falcon It is true in a purely mathematical framework, assuming a defined end point and growth by size.
First, a tree is never fully grown unless you count it's end of life. Secondly, to answer Saturday assumes that by half grown, you are referring to having achieved​ half the size of the size designated as full grown. This is not a reasonable assumption. Trees, as all organisms, have a growth plate over time.
What would ordinarily be considered the wrong answer, Thursday, is the right answer with regards to its growth plate over time, assuming the tree is planted as a sprout. If not, the answer is "never" because the tree does not exist when planted as a seed. 2x0 is 0.
that's a really dumb gotcha answer bro
I guess it's non-obvious, but like in the same way as saying "I never actually planted a tree sucker! You sure look dumb now!"The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2017-04-08 at 5:16 PM UTC in Make shitpost/topicality rules and enforce them only in extreme casesYeah, it actually has gotten pretty bad. I don't really want to police it because I can tell you right now every single person in this thread has a different idea of what's acceptable and what isn't and you're all going to get mad at me over some decision or another, but the current state of things doesn't work. TDR and bill got day long bans for this thread, it'll go up in the future. Some guidelines:
infinityshock: your gaysex jokes are literally the most unfunny thing anyone has done on this site. Remember when it was invogue to literally post pictures of your shit? Your shtick is worse than that by like a mile. I will start banning you if that's the only content in your replies to serious threads.
spacecat: zattex posting is borderline, the spambot situation is a lot better than it used to be, let's lay off the front page flushes if you're just posting some 3-fade macro instead of actually responding to threads.
TDR: I actually thought some of your image macros were like kinda humorous the first time you posted them. Spoiler posting and reusing the same image in every thread and dragging out little bitch-fights for pages is not. Don't do that.
everyone else: It's easier to manage the quality of threads if you make them in the topical forums instead of SG and report off topic posts (I don't read every thread on this site), I have limited patience for you if you make your thread in the commons and complain when other people shit on it.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

You just dumped more private information about someone than I have ever seen dumped by anyone, ever. That makes you the biggest rat of them all.

2017-03-03 at 2 AM UTC in DIY Acid WashI've acid-washed one of my knives in the past but it didn't turn out as well as I'd liked - I assume the acid I mixed wasn't quite potent enough, so the blade came out a bit dull. I was somewhat disappointed and hadn't tried again since.
That was up until I saw the detailed patterns you can get with PCB transfer film - examples:
so I decided to give it a try again.
First thing to do is get some transfer film - it's fairly expensive, so if you want to nigger-rig it some people have been able to use glossy photo paper. I suspect that if you go this route, you'll need to use different temperature settings when transferring the pattern to the metal.
The idea behind transfer paper is you print a design on it, then you press it face down on your metal surface (blade in this case), and use heat and pressure to transfer the ink from the paper to the metal. Then, when it's exposed to acid, the ink resists it - metal not covered by ink is corroded, metal covered by ink is left untarnished.
I didn't take photos of the transfer paper because I printed it ages ago, but the brand is Press n Peel Blue and it'll look like this once printed:
The difficult part is getting the patterns to transfer evenly - you need both heat (I found about 150 degrees celsius to be ideal) and constant, even pressure. I've tried this in the past with an iron, a vice and blowtorch, even a convection oven but never had much luck. This time around, I built the DANGERWAND.
It's basically just a hair-straightener mounted on a vice so I can use it as a heat press. Works well, but is actually pretty dangerous - I had to tape over the circuit on the top, touching it gives a very nasty shock.
I would've actually used this as the pattern, but being a total fucking mongolroy I applied the pattern upside down. Clean off the pattern with acetone, re-press, this is the result:
NOTE: I intentionally faded the pattern to the right to avoid a hard cutoff. I also used nail polish to paint parts of the blade that I didn't want to be exposed to the acid, ie. the ring around where the pivot goes, because if you corrode the parts that make contact with other components, you will fuck up the tolerances and best case, the knife will be loose and off-centre, worst case it won't open or lock up properly.
Next up is the acid dip. I used 6% sodium hydroxide and hardware-store grade hydrochloric acid in a ratio of 2.5:1 in an OAK milk bottle with the top cut off. If youre going to do this, you MUST use either a GLASS or HDPE plastic container. The acid is strong enough that it'll rapidly corrode and weaken a metal container, and most other plastics will melt in a matter of minutes. No photos, I was afraid that I'd acid-damage my phone.
Basically I mixed the acid, put a cabletie through the hole in the blade and hung it off a metal bar on the lip of the container - that way the blade was suspended in acid. It only took like 5 minutes for it to seriously corrode, then I took it out and washed it and rubbed a bit of making soda across it to ensure the acid was totally neutralised. After washing, I used a small amount of acetone to remove the nail polish and the resist pattern that I'd applied to the metal - this is the end result:
After putting it all back together:
I don't intend on doing this again anytime soon, the acid is VERY messy and releases a lot of unpleasant fumes, plus it's annoying to dispose of. Generally you've got to slowly add a base (bicarbonate/baking soda) until it's neutralised, then it's safe to flush.
PS. the knife in question is a Spyderco Manix.

Originally posted by Captain Falcon Yes but it's a matter of coincidence rather than cause. One could model one as a function of the other, but the context in which you said that implied that one determined the outcome of the other, but I don't think it's useful or even accurate to say that the heads side is up *because* the tails side is down; one simply accompanies the other.
To the best of our knowledge, they are both independent "rolls", which are 100% guaranteed to be the opposite of each other.
I think when the alternative explanation is literally impossible without tossing out the established workings of mathematics and principles of logic, I think it's as close to being a physical reality as possible.
Although the indeterministic/coincidence model you've advanced might not be logically impossible it's a weak gain on it, it's so vanishingly unlikely without some kind of coordination as to be trivially dismissable. The probability of this coincidence holding are so close to 0 and get worse with each experiment conducted. In fact it's probably more likely that each measurement taken was a statistical anomaly as to violate Bell's inequality as it is that entangled particles are just coincidentally observed as being in opposite states which this degree of consistency. The article you linked actually mentions this:There is another objection to the experimental tests that, at least so far, nobody has managed to get totally around. We measure a spin combination of, say, zero degrees and 45 degrees for a collection of electrons and then measure another spin combination, say 45 degrees and 90 degrees, for another collection of electrons.
1. The idea of a non local variable being responsible for the seemingly random outcome of quantum events is such an overwhelmingly huge special case that would require tearing down many, many walls of already established, mathematically and experimentally supported science upon which we have built existing science. For example, the entire relativistic model of physics.
True, but there's really no way to accept experimental results in QM without overturning some element of orthodoxy in physics, indeterminism certainly does and at least as presented it doesn't seem to offer any satisfying explanation.2. The non-local hidden variable, if it indeed exists, also cannot be the explanation for why a particle's wave function collapses in a specific way. Even a non-local variable would fall into the same trap.
Why not? As I understand it Bell's theorem operates on the assumption that we can measure spin at two different angles independently (without one measurement affecting the other), if there is a non-local variable we can explain the violation as being a result of measurement: measuring spin at one angle changes measurements of an entangled particle's spin at a different angle.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Captain Falcon Not really. There is no information travelling between the particles, no communication or contact. The states are simply correlatively linked, specifically in the fact that no matter what the probability is of them being in any particular states, there is a 100% chance that they will be in opposite states to one another. There is no hidden variable that tells us the specific state of the outcome but the act of entangling the two particles for example is… somehow what creates the fact that they always collapse into opposite states.
Their collapse doesn't seem to be probabilistic then. If a particle's state is determined by another particle's state then it won't probabilistically collapse, its collapse is a fact contingent on something else. It's like saying "there's a 50% chance that this coin will land on heads, except I'm going to actually set it down on tails so it just probabilistically landed on tails". I don't see how you can call something random when something else necessitates it.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2017-02-08 at 6:19 PM UTC in The mind is a meat radio.What do you mean by action at a distance here? My first thought is measurement at one point acts in some way on measurement at another but you seem to have specifically rejected that earlier.
It does indeed seem like a very strange finding, but it seems just, or nearly, as impossible, to the point of being almost trivially dismissable, that independent probabilistic collapse at the point of measurement should display this pattern sum zero spin as a hidden local variable carried at emission being responsible for violating Bell's inequality. It just doesn't seem like a purely probabilistic model offers any better explanation of the results than a local hidden variable explanation, both seem simply wrong.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!
