Realistically I’ll probably die in a heat wave.

Just for fun, if a like-minded individual has any possibility to physically preserve my brain (not a copy!) in their makeshift lab I’d probably roll the dice on that one if things were half-clean. Yeah, I know, the odds aren’t good.

In terms of cyborg stuff, I would want something more organic than popsci typically shows though. Like having a semi-synthetic body that is its own multi-cellular, symbiotic organism. That can further connect to other things (like to the myconet to exchange resources).

I would not want to live forever, though. If I did anything like that I’d probably live isolated for a while and then retire into my own brain.

Yes! FOR YOU.

After pushback, I switched over to ad nauseam (which still blocks via UBO). Not sure how effective it actually is for the click part (considering it also catches related things, some YT recommends, share buttons, definite non-ad things in search etc) but it says $1.8K (I have it set between ‘sometimes’ and ‘always’).

Honestly, with a fresh-water rinse I could easily see that being beneficial.

Consider:

1. particle filters (or other cleaning steps)
2. custom water treatment like a bath
3. not just water, but recirculated heat as well
4. better possible water pressure (weak well pump), heat control

Maybe even the type of thing that could run off of solar or backup power for a planned shower.

Though yeah, I guess a bath (with a quick shower after) probably is a whole lot cheaper and easier to (plumb rather than) engineer. Plastic tubs have their own grossness, though.

I also imagine this fitting more as some sci-fi thing, not sure how well it’d be easy to manage water in space, though. My first thought would be people annoyed with having to vacuum up droplets, get blasted with air, or being stuck in a drying room as a safety procedure. And some sci-fi vat bath might still make more sense.

I’m going to go with the multiple causes for slowness (and that’s interpreted languages in general). In some cases, things might be usable if I weren’t on Zen+ still (newer stuff has better IPC among other things).

Things like JIT or no-GIL might reduce that, but I’m not sure that it’s that easy to fix (not being default (plus multiple options) seems to complicate bindings even).

It’s like saying it’s V E R Y _ W A R M but really it’s just low-poly without textures.

Although it’s as much of a technical thing for me. I want the low-storage-data, rendered in native-res, old (and smart) technique even if everybody else moved on. Also, less to do.

I just tested 2D text out a bit, spent quite a bit of time trying to fix aliasing (I had oversampling set too high, seems like that should be noted if not just 1.0 being default) which is the sort of problem that Textmesh does not have.

With 2D text I do like that shadow (combined with other colors) really makes it feel theme-like (plus outline can fill in the negative space, making non-color emojis look better with the right color). Stacked is even cooler (3D effect).

So if I keep it to 1 color, I can use the same font for each type of text:

Color emojis still have broken outlines though. With label3D oversampling doesn’t seem to work as well* (smaller pixel size+larger font for text clarity–>worse emoji outline alignment) but even for some characters alignment is even off in 2D (balloon, hammer&wrench are fine; eye, fire are not). Could be a font issue though, but the 2 I’ve tried are broken in slightly different ways.

* MSDF could work for single-color, but it messes up the fire icon I have (and makes straight lines a bit wobbly). Better for more standard fonts/designs, I guess.

So, just sort of a mess… simple text is fine, but even if color could be injected per-glyph (like if every vertex on the fire were set to yellow) that would add depth (I don’t know if that’d be a script, add-on, or some context/function in low-level shader code but it’s probably beyond me).

Aside from results, it’s also when you run into some issue that wastes time/effort at best and needs to be actively resolved (materials or other process stuff) at worst. Lots of ways that make it worse, too (lack of help, energy, money, transportation etc).

“Well, I believe I’ll vote for a 3rd candidate!”

“Nothing bad will happen if I touch the stove, the glowing is probably just lights!”

Even if it’s not a good substitution for chest compressions (it’s 1AM, do you know where the horse’s heart is?), it makes me think of that CRUDBUMP song.

Scroll-wheel rolls up windows for me on XFCE (labwc). I can understand it that might not be what you’re looking for, though.

Yeah I tried it for XFCE yesterday*, noticed a few things I wanted weren’t there (because XFWM isn’t ported over) and promptly switched back. Didn’t seem to me like it was more responsive or anything like that**.

But I am still using a 1050Ti, so who knows. That also kind of kills my interest in the idea even if I didn’t have fixed-if-you-use-this-specific-DE type issues. I also don’t really like the idea of CSD.

* after looking up that labwc not being installed was why the session wouldn’t launch before

** entirely possible it is better in very specific scenarios, but the screen tearing that I see on X11 is diagonal (like the screen is 2 triangles, desynced) and honestly I don’t even know the exact game to test (as I don’t see tearing in videos or any other usage as far as I know)

As a dude I go from long hair to slightly-less-long hair by cutting it on each side above the shoulders. Pulled forward below the neck if long enough, sort of like the opposite of the unicorn trick (tried that in the past, but easy to mess up the layering).

Also probably makes more sense if you usually keep your hair in a ponytail, as any imbalance won’t be obvious.

There is the other meaning, too. Not a slur, but also not safe either.

Still gotta pay rent, for food, maybe more. The closest place to me isn’t near (for me) and charges $50 for a tour. EDIT: Can’t even seem to find that visit info online now.

I was going to say something about the body being an extension of the brain (a very important one), though given some of your responses I feel like it’s more relevant that many areas of our society treats commerce as a higher priority than human ecology. Even ignoring statistics.
