First anecdote:

I'm convinced driving stoned is still a problem (though I understand my experiences may be an outlier);

My friend used to drive stoned regularly, and while in the car with him he failed to notice traffic lights and stop signs. These are mistakes he didn't make while sober.

Caveat: he was an inexperienced driver at the time, so he probably hadn't developed intuitive driving habits, so being stoned meant he needed to manually assess every action.

Second anecdote:

I feel that driving drunk is so bad, not necessarily because of distraction or motor control (though once sufficiently drunk, these are absolutely an issue)

I feel the most dangerous part about driving drunk is the overconfidence which comes with it. People are much more likely to take risks while drunk. Conversely, people who are stoned are paranoid, so they're locked in and focused on not looking like they're driving inebriated.

For the sake of brevity, I'm just going to agree that I'm sea-lioning.

Now, explain how what I'm doing is unethical.

Do you think it's unethical because it uses stolen art?

If so, I don't think there's an issue because I'm not publishing anything I generate.

Do you think it's unethical because of the electricity usage?

If so, you could make the argument about any frivilous activity which generates electricity.

I really don't know of a compelling reason besides these two which raises a red flag for you.

I'm not trolling. Why is it unethical for me and my buddies to generate images of a duck with the head of an elephant?

I want to know more.

How long has it been since your coma?

When you say you were lucid, do you mean you were always aware you were dreaming?

You say there was no escape, but you must have become fully unconscious at times?

Did you ever have pleasant dreams?

How much of your life experience do you think shaped your nightmares?

Did you have any epiphanies due to the clashing ideas?

I meant to reply to you, to illustrate it's not always unethical; a point you raised, not OP.

What if you're a pervert? That's a pretty decent excuse.

I use it when I get stoned with my mates and think of funny shit to generate.

I'm confused, is this a problem with your seat, or your height?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Now I'm curious what you're driving.

Modern safety standards make it so that the seatbelt locks in a crash and limits your longitudinal inertia.

That's what I was trying to say.

I've now realised that I've explained myself poor. To reiterate;

Seatbelts reduce whiplash, so does correct posture. Poor posture inherently leads to a loosed seatbelt because it extends the range between you and your seat.

A lot of people consider a crash which lurches you forward, but if you get rear ended, the difference which matters will be your posture. If your head and neck are cushioned, you're going to be much better off.

Fair point about the broken spines. It's not hard to imagine how much worse things could be without correctly fitted headrests and seatbelts.

First, thank you in advance.

I'm having trouble with exposing my server, I think what I need is a better understanding, as opposed to technical help (though that would be appreciated)

At the moment I'm using the linuxserver.io suite of applications. I've got SWAG set up with DuckDNS, and I'm trying to set up Jellyfin and other applications. (they're all in the same compose.yaml).

I can access my applications on an external network via <user>.duckdns.org:<port> and it works fine (but no https).

Within my home network I can access jellyfin.<user>.duckdns.org - the https is valid and everything is working fine.

I suspect this means my router is not set up correctly? I'm using OpenWRT. What am I doing wrong?

 

I have a custom ROM (DivestOS); I don't have access to the Play Store.

The latest version of Honkai: Star Rail is out, but Aurora installs the bundled version of the APK which always throws an error "Not enough storage space to install required resources" (there is enough space).

In the past, I've used APK Mirror to download the standalone version of the APK. But the latest update on APK Mirror only offers the bundled version.

I've tried APK Pure and APK Combo to install an XAPK version, but that always fails too.

So, does anyone know where I might find the standalone version of the app, or how to resolve the bundled app error?

Thanks in advance.

 

They can't keep making trailers this good, they have to run out of fuel soon, right?

 
 

Assuming AI can achieve consciousness, or something adjacent (capacity to suffer), then how would you feel if an AI experienced the greatest pain possible?

Imagine this scenario: a sadist acquires the ability to generate an AI with no limit to the consciousness parameters, or processing speed (so seconds could feel like an eternity to the AI). The sadist spends years tweaking every dial to maximise pain at a level which no human mind could handle, and the AI experiences this pain for what is the equivalent of millions of years.

The question: is this the worst atrocity ever committed in the history of the universe? Or, does it not matter because it all happened in some weirdo's basement?

 

I own a Samsung monitor, and when it's in standby mode the LED blinks all night. My hearing is so sensitive, and my room so quiet, that I can actually hear the LED powering on and off.

So, every night I power it off manually. Sometimes I forget as I turn my PC off, and as I'm laying comfortably in bed, falling asleep, I hear it cycling, so I have to get out of bed, walk over, and turn it off, which delays my sleep.

At this point I'm tempted to take off the bottom panel and break the LED with a screwdriver, but I'm worried that this might change how the current flows through the monitor's circuit board.

I would appreciate any advice, suggestions or insights, thanks in advance!
