yeah it's insane. uou can get 100mg of the stuff for $80 on the darknet. to get that to a usable dose that wouldn't kill a human you'd have to dump it into a 55 gallon drum of water, take a milliliter of that drum and dump it into another 55 gallon drum, and repeat that one more time, then take one milliliter of that last solution.

thank god it can't be easily aerosolized or it'd be a chemical weapon.

yeah, about that

*buys me a $3800 Elitebook with a PLATTER DRIVE in 2013*

*platter drive dies 8 months later, as I knew it would, and I got a week vacation at Motorola while they reprovisioned*

my original precision came with the lowest of the low bargain bin, mismatched 5400 drives, configured to run in raid 1

the plan was to replace the drives asap with 845dc pros, but a budget freeze hit and i was stuck with the mech drives for like 6 months

rmas like every month up until dell said you know what, have some ssds and stop calling us

we walked this as teens






the old drainage tunnel under hot springs, AR that all the excess spring water drains into

at points it's chest deep, other times the pipe is down to ~4ft dia

the water temp ranges from 100f at the head end to about 120 in the middle, back down to 100 at the outlet
100% humidity, rip if you wear glasses

its not but a half mile, mile or so, but it was the scariest three hours of our lives. we came out into the 98f arkansas heat and sat there and shivered for 10 mins

Oh yeah it's also the storm drain for the downtown valley so if it would have rained even like a quarter inch that night we would have been killed

its hard to imagine there is any universe where korn themselves enjoy their own music., they must live such a totured existance.. their riches predicated on having a forever not maturing sound since the mid nineties

i enjoy their first few albums but the one they released w/ skrillex a while back was scary terrible

i'm guilty of sometimes fidgeting with my phone while i walk, but i've never hit something or someone and i'm legit confused as to why people stare at the floor instead of raising their gadget at the same eye level as they'd have normally walking

if you normalize the behavior of walking while staring downwards by installing floor lights, all you're doing is moving the fatalities to other street corners

imgur is doing something retarded

(just go to the front page)

how do they make money again?

pretty sure it's an april's fools thing, the two camp's score have been within a fraction of a percent from each other all day, that just doesn't happen unless there's an outside influence

alro re: revenue, i have no clue. they run ads, but considering how much off site activity they support there's no way that's enough. they did get series a'd by reddit & andreessen to the tune of 40m so it's not like they've been short on cash for the last couple years

supposedly they also make money via native adverts (sponsored posts in the most viral stream) but it's always the same partners and they didn't respond when i tried to make a buy (with a five figgie budget) so no idea if that's still running

like anything internet they're probably running blind on vc cash and they'll implode with a <30 day heads up when the cash dries up

big scary monsters posted:

the secret to a harmonious and happy university experience is to realise that your support staff are the most important people there, and get in good with them. you can probably afford to piss the odd professor, but if you upset the departmental accounts team then good luck getting your expenses handled on time ever again

hell, this is true even as a student. i did a fair amount of student union & club stuff in college, having an idea of the actual physical, manpower & infrastructure ressources in the building meant that when i wanted to run a thing instead of going to the school admins with "i'd like to (event) to take place, can you help me?" aka please spend half your day researching the feasibility of something that's not in your job description, i could show up with a straight up bill of materials, room & asset availability plus a accurate cost breakdown if i needed funding

school admins usually like to help students take on projects that have a positive impact and if you position yourself to be as zero friction as possible, you'll leapfrog everyone else

i even managed to weasel my way into having an office for a while, it wasn't in the pool of available real estate because there was no network cabled but what the gently caress did it matter with wifi

having access to most of the building was also a huge plus, there's something very zen about reading a book on a roof

support staff in pretty much any environment are a massive ally to leverage and in most cases they're good people

It is, and my reaction was almost the exact same as the guy who posted it. But I can't seem to find the video anywhere else and I can't find anyone reporting on it. Is it a real commercial?

yup:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UD82Qp2XZos

not a bad commercial either, imho, once you get over the weirdness of who's advertising

plus that one was more of a hr ad, the message is "come build cool poo poo"

advertising like that makes sense, it drums up public support and influences politicians & policy makers

plus with trump watching tons of tv you can be sure we'll see more of these

this one is the most yospos they ever did:
