Dude, what is this book. Who writes like this? I fucking adore it

Oh fuck yeah, buddy! I’m grabbing it right now! Might buy the audio on libro.fm to support the author too

I’m a sci fi nerd from foundation to Hyperion to the expanse but I’ve never heard of Blindsight, and you’ve absolutely sold me on it

Ooo added the book to my list, thanks!

Also, Robert Sapolsky’s book Determined explores whether we’re conscious or not based on his work in neuroscience and primatology. It’s like a book length version of the quote you posted

Asus

I screwed up so bad. I bought a laptop to trial different Linux distros and also because my old one is 12yo now and has its own problems. However, the manufacturer ONLY provides Windows support drivers, so the keyboard won’t work without a kernel level patch and I am not a kernel-patch level guy yet

I had a TA for my quantum class tell us, “Look, I know you’re all working together or sharing homework. But I’ll see who knows the material when I grade your exams.”

Color and age definitely matter too. Each resin should also have a configuration table you can import into the slicer. I use Sirya and they offer data sheets and configs from their website. Not sure which other resin manufacturers do the same

What is your retraction distance? It almost looks like it’s not leaving the bed enough to allow the resin to flow. I might be wrong, it’s been a while since I messed with mine, but I had issues during setup with it not retracting enough. Maybe add some distance and slow that part down a tad

I feel like Rorschach. So completely and irredeemably frustrated by the machinations of life that he essentially begs Dr Manhattan to kill him

Yup, conversational product plugs

So, ads in chat now?

Neat

Looks like everything I’ve ever done in Kerbal

I’m getting Deus Ex vibes

Just practice for the human rights violations
