Anderson is kinda like Trump - I don't think he's smart enough to be deliberately gaming the Outrage Economy of Twitter attention, but he's been preparing for this whole life by saying incredibly stupid and provocative things and getting cheered on for it

Encryption chat: Just wait til these guys get this working: https://physicsworld.com/a/cosmic-ray-muons-used-to-create-cryptography-system/ quote:The random arrival times of cosmic-ray muons at the Earth’s surface can be used to encode and decode confidential messages – according to Hiroyuki Tanaka at the University of Tokyo. He claims that the new scheme is more secure than other cryptographic systems because it does not require the sender and receiver of a message to exchange a secret key. Having confirmed important aspects of the technology in the lab, he reckons it will be commercially competitive for use over short distances in offices, data centres and private homes.

It is tough to 'live a normal life' while 'off the bottle' because British social lives are SO heavily geared around booze. I've been teetotal since 2005. Fortunately, booze makes me feel extremely unwell (tachycardia, extremely high blood pressure) so I have good reason to avoid it. Also from 2006 - 2015 I was in a muslim country where booze is a pain to get and there is quite a good range of alcohol-free drinks. Can you fake that you're on antibiotics or something to get you through? One of the worst things though is the limited options available for non-alcoholic drinks in pubs - too much fruit juice or fizzy drinks gives me gut rot.

Fat, grey skinned, dark haired, worked as a kitchen porter, had absolutely no idea what was or wasn’t appropriate.. (not that that really narrows down things in the nerd community..) but also had a heart of gold, buried very deeply. Ran a lot of games over the years and was known as ‘Kate Adie’ for breathlessly giving reports to people about what was happening in games they didn’t play in. I do in fact genuinely miss him.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:It is tough to 'live a normal life' while 'off the bottle' because British social lives are SO heavily geared around booze. The thing is, you shouldn't have to fake being on antibiotics or pregnant as a socially acceptable excuse for why you aren't drinking. You should just be allowed not drink and not have other people interrogate you over this or (worse) try and convince you "to just have the one." Very often the problem is that drinkers feel uncomfortable around non-drinkers because they are insecure about their own drinking habits. I've seen this happen all the time in Ireland whenever stats on European levels of binge drinking comes out, the response is almost always "they consider THAT many units of alhcol binge drinking? They must be wrong, it's way too low."

I feel quite fortunate that I don't like socializing anyway and drinking just makes me more miserable than normal. I don't know if it is an age thing but the odd occasion I do socialize none of the people I do it with seem very interested in booze either. Or maybe I just know weird people.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:It is tough to 'live a normal life' while 'off the bottle' because British social lives are SO heavily geared around booze. I'm unfortunate in that I'm a really good drunk (with a pretty massive alcohol tolerance), and I don't think it's just projection that people prefer being around me after a few drinks than when I'm sober. I have had some issues with potential stomach ulcers (booze and lots of ibuprofen for the hangovers...) and also my liver area is always really painful when I'm drinking (when it's really bad it hurts to take a deep breath), so that's a reasonable enough "excuse" for a month or so. After that, well, I guess I'm just gonna have to start being honest with people, which is that booze is always the main event for me, rather than the activity that it accompanies or the people I'm with. And when I start I can't stop (acutely - I usually only drink on Saturdays). I'm obviously not, like, an end stage alcoholic, and other people have much bigger struggles with it, but it's always been a problem for me, and it's been getting worse. The last weekend I was drinking, I drank 50 units over three nights, almost all of it when I was on my own. By 4 AM on Saturday night I was just downing bottles of wine for the sake of it, I wasn't even enjoying it. That was a big outlier, at least these days, but it still scared the poo poo out of me. I'm tired of having my chain yanked by the bottle, and I'm tired of it being my singular focus. I'm tired of the withdrawal that follows the hangover (I weirdly enjoy the hangover), which leaves me feeling crazy and tired and sick and paranoid and depressed for the first half of the week (then by Thursday I'm looking forward to doing it all again). I started drinking when I was 14, and I never learned to socialise without it. Every time I've encountered difficulties in my life, I've reached straight for the bottle, so I've never learned to cope with difficult feelings. I don't really enjoy things I used to love - music especially - unless I'm at least half cut. Until I can break free of that kind of dependence - until I can stop appeasing the beast that sleeps by my front door, just so I can sneak outside and have a bit of living for a little while - I'm done with it. And I think there're a lot of people in my life who are in the same boat but will never accept that that's the case (going back to The Question IRL's original point), and they may well take my decision as a judgement on them (I certainly felt that way when some of my friends quit about a year ago). Anyway, this ain't E/N, so I'm gonna leave it there Barry Foster fucked around with this message at 14:18 on Mar 10, 2023 |
