Yeah. I’m like. Wow. Those people are some bad ass MFers.

I’m the kind of person who thinks lake michigan water in the early summer is the perfect temperature (60F/17C) for swimming when all my friends are blue lipped and shivering.

I honestly always say Im more tolerant of the cold than most.

But apparently I ain’t got nothing on Minnesota peps.

Yeah I mean. I think that sounds right. I do remember the news saying something like 16F but feels like -10F. Or something. The wind chill factor

Its legit ice wind up there in the winter. And this was downtown, right off the lake.

I do think it’s easier to stay warm if you are moving though but this time they just had like speeches and people standing and I couldn’t handle how cold my legs got.

I guess that’s a tip for cold protesting organizers.
Keep the people moving. They need it for warmth.

Yeah that’s actually the answer. I just wanted to see what other people suggested.

Honestly I use Instagram a lot and it’s full of personal videos. They get shared over and over and it’s hard to get them removed. So they are generally on there.

Oh I’m talking about the South Park episode. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_Joker

I was at a protest last winter in Chicago. I believe it was 16 degrees. It was insane. My buddy and I bundled up. Layers. He brought heat packs. We prepared.

It was still brutal. We found walking helped but damn. I think we only lasted just shy of 2 hours. We tried but even my thick thighs (covered by my thick fur lined parka coat) were starting to feel pain from the cold within the first hour.

I say this because that’s still 25 degrees warmer than it was for these people

Damn that’s some hardcore protesting in Minnesota.

I always worry about the animals when we get these crazy cold times. How many die. It’s sad to think about.

Mexican joker.

It’s only a matter of time.

I know the best way to get cat hair off things is

I repeatedly clarify the definition.

Have any luck finding peer reviewed papers with erowid references. ?

Maybe it’s cause it’s not a scientific resource.

That’s literally what I said

Because erowid does not meet the definition of a resource.

Again.

Links to resources is not itself a scientific resource.

I defined for you multiple times what “scientific resource” means.

Unlike erowid, maps actually conducted scientific research.

That’s why they are listed as a resource.

Even Wikipedia has people review the material.

Erowid does not.

You are uninformed about what science is. You refuse to acknowledge my definition. You know literally nothing about my research capabilities. Maybe I’m terrible at research but you wouldnt know one way or the other.

Which makes your opinion uninformed and therefore irrelevant.

Erowid are opinions of people who use recreational drugs. It’s not written by scientist. Or researchers. And research can be misunderstood by lay people.

As I said. Some of the information may be accurate. Doesn’t matter. It’s still not a scientific resource.

I, as a scientist, would not tell people to use lemmy or reddit to learn about neuroscience. I definitely wouldn’t advise using erowid for the same reasons.

Citing a resource does not make the text a resource.

I still think that what he is doing does have some power and effect.

If for no other reason than to highlight the problems with the rest of the dnc and help us identify those who need replaced.

His stance also validated our feelings. We aren’t taking crazy pills. There is a problem. It’s real. Even if the rest of the dnc is pretending like it’s not that bad, Al has sided with us and said “yeah it’s real fking serious”.

I can’t see riker saying anything like this. Tbh.

What exactly is your point ?

First you say I’m not a “real” researcher because I didn’t give erowid as a resource.

I said it’s not scientific. You say “uh yeah it is”. I explain why it’s not and what “scientific” means because a lot of people are actually mis informed on this. And I didn’t want to argue semantics.

And then you say. That .

Are you also incapable of following your own arguments ?

What IS your argument then ?

Your links were irrelevant to your argument that erowid is a scientific resource.

It’s not.

The definition of a scientific resource is a RESOURCE with scientific observations and reporting that is peer reviewed or has some official review process like a university website with scholars writing the information that is verified by other scholars.

It’s the review process by people who are authorities on the topic that make that distinction. Scholars. Other scientist.

A comment on social media and anecdotal websites hosting forums is not a scientific resource. It’s opinions.

As I said earlier. Something doesn’t have to be scientifically validated to be true or real.

But it does have to be science to be science.

More specifically, experiments must use the scientific method and specific research statistic computations to support hypotheses which then are used to create theories.

Erowid does not have a review process where a senior scientist reviews any of the things posted on it.

Neither does Lemmy or faceb9ok,

Why is review so important?

Because humans are biased and our own subjective interpretation of patterns and events is not objective.

Just to illustrate some of the ways our thinking and interpretation of events is flawed, see cognitive biases on wikipedia.

And there are way more than these. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases

And have a look at memory errors while you are at it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_error

Oh and the best one. Bias blind sight. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bias_blind_spot

None of us, and I mean literally no one, is immune from these problems. Not me. Not you.

It’s why the only way we know anything for sure is through scientific methods of investigation. And even those aren’t full proof against bias.

I’m sorry that you don’t like the very basic explanation I gave of the properties of a drug you like. Some how that’s offensive to you.

I don’t know what to tell you.

I did get a few minor facts mixed up and i corrected them in the text. I Left in the original text and I crossed it out so that people could see I made a mistake and fixed it. Nothing I said was a huge big mistake about the drug. I misquoted the size of the tabs (10mm vs 5mm) and I was mistaken about it being neutralized in the stomach.

My gawd. Lock me up and send me a $500 fine. Jesus.

Maybe reflect on why it’s so important to you that your narrative of what the drug is, is being attacked from simple facts about how it works.

Why do you care how it works ? Why are you so invested in this? Why does it make you angry when someone explains the drug from a scientific perspective ?

If you don’t want to hear the scientific perspective then just ignore it.

It’s what a lot of people do.

Started with ender 3 v3. Constant tinkering

Got a bambu A1 year later. Won’t go back to anything creality makes ever.

A1 just works.

Replacement parts are similar prices as generic parts for the ender.

So I don’t care if it’s all proprietary. It all works. And you don’t need to deconstruct it to get it to work.

My buddy says that other countries like China and the EU countries are threatening to cash out those u.s bonds and other Treasury securities they have.

And that’s why trump keeps talking about the interest rates. He ain’t talking about peoples credit card interest rates. Hes talking about those Treasury securities rates.

And anyway. If the EU or china decides to cash those out. It will probably bankrupt the u.s.

I’m not very knowledgeable about this topic. I’m just passing on what my buddy told me. It sounded plausible.
