I regularly have days where I think "did I take my drugs?" I can often tell by looking back at my day, and realising how much I got done, without running out of mental energy. My partner can also tell quite reliably if I've forgotten.
I'm still me, just a bit less scatter brained, a bit more productive, and better able to focus. I lose some creativity, but that's a fair trade for actually being able to apply my creativity.
It's focused on minimising side effects, unlike speed, which is focused on the high.
When it works, it's amazing. You also don't develop significant tolerances (aka physical addiction) to it, if you have ADHD. It ends up working with your homeostatic systems, rather than against them.
Apparently it is a running job with many specialists. People with ADHD regularly forget to take the "highly addictive" drug.
Visual tracking as an initial targeting, or as a fallback, will be quite common. A manpad needs to know what it's trying to track first. If you can delay acquisition by even a few seconds it will make a difference.
It would also be quite embarrassing if it got shot down because, while flares and countermeasures worked, it just flew towards the big shiny gold thing in the sky.
Isn't it a type of American cowboy hat?
The free masons originally grew as a support and trust network.
It used to be that traveling was FAR less common. Consequently, travellers were seen as suspect. One of the major exceptions was masons. They would have to relocate to big projects e.g. a castle. They would stay long enough that the lack of trust was a problem, but not long enough to properly overcome it.
End result, they started vouching for each other. A local groups would vouch for the newcomers. They would introduce them and stop them getting ripped off.
Furthermore, stonemasonry was a dangerous trade. It was easy for a mason to be killed far from home. They clubbed together to support the families of members, as well as the disabled.
Wrap this up in Christianity based traditions and you have the masonic free masons. An early cooperative support and social networking group.
I'm scientifically trained (physics specifically), I'm also an atheist myself. I believe, based on a preponderance of evidence, that no creator being exists. The exception possibly being the simulation hypothesis. However, without specific evidence of that, the chances are extremely slim so I default to the null, aka atheism.
Interestingly, science has very few "facts". Facts are mostly a thing of mathematics , which can create rigorous proofs. There is a lot of evidence in science, along with predictions and theories, but few facts.
E.g. I don't know, for a fact, that the sun will rise in 1 year's time. The evidence says it's practically a certainty, but it is not a true "fact". It's a prediction based on an absurdly large evidence base.
Atheism does require belief. Even if it's only in the axioms of physics.
As per my analogy, bald is not a haircut, but an absence of hair. You would be hard pressed to find a bald person who complained about it being lumped in with haircuts in a form.
Recognising the limits to our own knowledge is an important part of finding the truth.
Oh and the options "on fire" and "not on fire" obviously belong in the same grouping, even if they are different things.
Atheism is as much a belief as bald is a haircut. Technically slightly different, but makes sense to throw into the same box.
Learning that being right doesn't make you not an arsehole is a lesson too many of us had to learn the hard way.
The satanic temple's 7th tenet sums it up quite well.
Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.
10x per year is still better than never.
The ground has been dried out. It doesn't happen often.
Also humidity is relative. Hot air holds a lot more water. The same amount of water will have a lower humidity, for a higher temperature.
Generation on demand is still a better. Batteries are still quite an expensive option, at the scale required.
It also ignores the other benefits. The main one is allowing a combination of agriculture and power generation.
The challenge is, can you figure out where it is.
All hail the lemming of Lemmy!
Didn't Mexico have a similar issue a year or so ago?
Someone ran and was elected under his mexican wrestling persona. He attended parliament with his mask on. He insisted, since he was elected under his masked persona, he would attend parliament under it.
He originally did it because cartels had targeted MPs, and he ran on an anti cartel manifesto.
