Easily one of my favorite appliances, up there with dishwasher and washing machine. My floors are always insanely clean because that thing drives around every day.

I’m not saying that they’re changing the census for the purposes of propaganda, but if the data happens to suit the narrative they’re pushing, they’re not just going to ignore the data they’ve already collected from their poorly run census.

The first thing you said is “This makes census data useless”

I don’t think that it does, even if it’s garbage data. If it fits their narrative, they will use it to support their propaganda. It’s already paid for, thus it’s basically free.

“See, we’ve got the data” means nothing to propagandists.

Absolutely not. The best propaganda is true (or at least, appears to be true and supported by data). If there’s data to support their position, it will absolutely be used to strengthen their position. Ergo, if the census data says America is now skewing towards white, hetero, etc, because of their stupid changes, it will absolutely be used to further their agenda. They’re not going to waste it.

The data being incorrect doesn’t make it useless.

Correct, it doesn’t need it, but that doesn’t mean they won’t use it. They will use any data of spurious quality if it supports their agenda. Ergo, it’s not useless - it has a use for a rather evil purpose.

You keep inserting the word “need” when I never said that. It’s optional, but it enhances the effectiveness if they can point to a number and say “see, we’ve got data.”

No, but the falsified data isn’t useless just because it isn’t aligning with reality. It’ll absolutely be suitable for propaganda purposes.

That’s hardly useless. If everyone is blonde haired and blue eyed hetero etc. they have even more justification to cut programs that benefit anyone outside this demographic.

Prove what? I’m merely relaying the info from the article you didn’t read.

I’m just pointing out that it’s not IR blocking, it’s IR reflecting.

The idea is it reflects IR and blows out the exposure.

Yeah, you might as well turn off your antivirus and firewall seeing as those can be bypassed by a skilled actor anyways.

Wow, has it really been that long?

After Pink Floyd used it, the Hammerskins adopted the symbol. They’re a pretty big white power skinhead group. They even hold little neo Nazi music festivals.

Remember that shooting of the Sikh temple in Wisconsin? That guy was associated with the Hammerskins.

Cruz was the sole objecting senator, who claimed without evidence that Wyden’s bill could disrupt law enforcement, “such as knowing where sexual predators are living.”

That’s because two of the C ports are 40Gbps USB4. I bet there’s a PCI-E lane limitation they’re hitting.

All of these people who don’t apply the things they learn in school just don’t really think that much in my opinion.

When I was in the military in a leadership class, we had to use a protractor to calculate angles and distances on the map given a bunch of coordinates. I realized these were all right triangles, said fuck the protractor, and used trigonometry to get exact answers. I earned distinguished honor graduate, ie top of the class, despite my lab nerd POG ass being mixed in with a ton of infantry and ranger battalion guys.

I use dimensional analysis on a near daily basis because it’s just so damn handy. You can convert anything to nearly anything else as long as you have some numbers with the appropriate units in between.

That’s not how your immune system works. Your immune reserves are not “spent” nor do they need to replace ones “lost”. It’s not like a military battle. Most pathogens are either destroyed or they avoid destruction through some mechanism - they’re not often fighting back against the WBCs.

Your immune system produces chemicals that make you feel like shit / tired, because it’s evolutionarily advantageous to feel like shit. This keeps you resting and away from others. This is also how medicines like NSAIDS or steroids can make you feel better, by inhibiting the processes instigated by WBCs. It’s not the disease that makes you feel bad, it’s your immune system (unless you’re deathly ill, we’re talking common cold/flu/COVID type stuff here).

It would be impossible for me to go in depth in immunology but your explanation is not at all in line with the evidence we have currently.

It’s definitely the patterns. What I’m saying is the patterns are not any different for cannabis versus any other photoperiod plant. Cannabis isn’t the only thing you veg under 18/6 and flower under 12/12 light cycles. It’s not illegal to grow plants indoors and if I spend 5kW doing it every day that’s nobody’s business but my own. I’ll use my joules however I feel.

That said, it seems like the way to defeat this type of analysis would be to invest in batteries so you can always have a constant 24h drain rather than 5kW turning on every day at the same time for 18 or 12 hours.

Wanna know the difference between growing weed indoors and growing anything else indoors?

Nothing. Fuck off. I’m growing extremely hot peppers indoors with my kilowatts of LEDs.

I’m not sure how to feel about understanding this now. Good, because I understand, or bad, because I’ll perpetually be annoyed from holding back the urge to correct.

Thanks, I guess?

The absolute worst version of this is shit like a16z or a11y. Ironically a11y is very inaccessible.
