I respect people trying to make a regressive organization less regressive. If they go around publicly decrying the group, that group is more likely to simply reject them than to consider what they’re saying.

Brandon Sanderson, beloved author and Ken Jennings’s college roommate, has spoken on this.

He feels he can do more good by being a voice of progressiveness within the Mormon church than by leaving it. I can respect that.

Update: The psychiatrist who looked at her said she had too much weed -_- . I'm really disappointed in the doctor but she had finally slept and sounded more coherent then

There might be something to that. Psychosis enhanced by weed is not unheard of. As I’ve read, weed has been shown in studies to bring out schizophrenic symptoms in people predisposed to it. Not that it causes it, just brings it out in some people.

I say this as someone who loves weed and consumes it frequently. Just like any psychoactive chemical, it’s going to have different effects on different people. We all know alcohol causes psychosis all the fucking time but we just roll with it.

Man, I miss that first fire of a fresh coil before you’ve wicked it, letting it get red-hot and then pressing it together to solidify the shape. Watching for shorts. On complicated windings it’s always so pretty.

Glad I don’t still consume nicotine, but there were parts of the process I loved.

If you’re blowing clouds like that you’re not using the disposable vapes the article talks about. You’re using sub-ohm coils and a larger rig capable of heating coils designed for the task of making big clouds. You’re also using a liquid with a relatively low concentration of freebase nicotine.

Disposables vapes use higher concentrations of nicotine in a salt form rather than freebase, and much smaller quantities of liquid per puff, to deliver a hit that feels more like a cigarette.

Back when I vaped I made my own coils, though eventually I moved on to temperature-controlled ones, which require a purity of metal not found in the cheap-ass nic-salt disposables.

The toxicity is from the coils in the disposables, not from the eliquid and not from rigs.

The lack of color isn’t the default, it’s an option (an evolution of one that already have). By default everything is still colorful.

That example photo is with the icons set to white (or similar). By default the icons are still colorful. They showed it off during WWDC and it looks mostly good.

Maybe. I suspect it will be much better than last time.

Processing power is much better now than in 2006. Back then it was about having some blurry transparency and lots of light beams and lens flares and shit, because it was easy to layer that over stuff. This is going to be more about refraction at the edges and clarity in the centers, with frosted looks as background when needed.

I am hopeful, it looked mostly good in the WWDC video, with only a few examples of poor legibility that hopefully will be ironed out.

I’m personally ready to move on from the flat look as long as it remains cleaner than Frutiger Aero. I miss having depth in my UI.

Great, now I’ve got that dude from the Matrix in my head talking about how his dick is bigger than mine.

We’ll be using the Eurodollar by 2077. I don’t know what the exchange rate is from dollars to eddies.

Oh man, so much worse. What an idiot, if they had just smiled and waved it never would’ve gone viral.

Edit: and also if they had never decided to have an affair they wouldn’t be in the situation in the first place.

 
 

This is ostensibly the new logo and name for AlphaTauri. Kinda wish they’d just go back to Toro Rosso. Or Minardi.
