Float-tanks are this:

Imagine a bigger-than-normal bathtub, so you can sprawl-out ( arms & lega akimbo ) without hitting the sides…

the water-density is upped with brine, instead of plain water ( the float-tanks place I used to go to used sacks of “bitter salts” & the texture of the brine was damn-near oily, and DO NOT EVER shave shortly before going into a brine-soak, or you’re going to discover what stinging really means )

also it is brought up to a person’s body-temperature, or close to it.

When there’s no temperature-difference, & you’re floating sooo high that drowning is much less likely ( the Dead Sea is probably the prototype for all float-tanks, btw ), & you aren’t bumping into the walls, then you’re in blissful sensory-deprivation ( total dark, too, obviously, probably use a timer, limit it to 2h max ), & meditation can be awesome in these conditions.

Please invest in Dallas Murphy’s ebook “Plain Sailing”.

https://www.amazon.com/Plain-Sailing-Sail-Trim-Manual-Sailors-ebook/dp/B00593YTJG/

It gives you all the fundamental-understandings, & by making you basically-competent-in-understanding sailing, it gives you significant advantage over everybody else looking at having a bit of sailing-time on someone’s boat.

Authors to know of include:

• Tom Cunliffe ( I can automatically recommend anything instructional of his, & he has a youtube channel )

• Nigel Calder, if you’re looking to invest in a cruiser for yourself, you want to read his books.

• John Kretschmer’s books are excellent.

if you want to have a cheap boat of your own, then there are 2 books I recommend, the white-cover book by Dynamite Payson & the Building an Outrigger Canoe book.

https://www.amazon.com/Instant-Boatbuilding-Dynamite-Payson-Paddle-ebook/dp/B00UYB5EGK/

https://www.amazon.com/Building-Outrigger-Sailing-Canoes-Construction-ebook/dp/B00CKMG7E4/

Do keep in mind that in some jurisdictions, human-powered hulls do not require registration ( canoes, kayaks, rowboats, etc, ), whereas powered hulls ( including motor AND SAIL ), legally do.

Between those 2, you should have some understanding of how to get yourself afloat, affordably.

Please do not compromise safety, though: alcohol massively multiplies the death-rate on the water, so segregating alcohol from operating-aquatic-vehicles is a good thing, see?

Excellent resource, thank you for linking it directly,

& excellent suggestion.

I request that it be put into some site-wide script,

such that if someone uses one of those sources, the script notifies the would-be-poster/commenter that that is an untrustworthy-source, & to please find a trustworthy-source, instead.

This would be like the beginning of an immune-system for Lemmy.world

but his wealthy-donor’s “gift” addiction … wouldn’t be illegal, of course…

Is his personal-information on the dark-web?

Is he saying that if his personal-information is on the dark-web, then it’s perfectly-OK for everybody & their robot to be using it??

XOR is he saying that there are 2 kinds of law:

1 for protecting his entitlement,

the other for disallowing rights from the lives he consumes, through his beloved herd/corporation/pseudo-person?

( obviously, he’s already answered the latter )

No: Biden’s optimal response may be that, but what his actual response is going to be, given the Dems’ coasting on assumed-entitlement, could be anything.

Never count chickens before they’re hatched, right?

Tell them of a famous guy, the most “woke” person in the entire bible, a socialist & convicted-felon people call “Jesus” benJoseph, who called hypocrites “Hypocrites!” right in their face, instead of “turning the other cheek”, a guy who got *physically violent" on the commercial-operation of the temple…

See if they just blot that out from their awareness, to fit their ideology…

Kahneman’s “Thinking Fast And Slow” is the key book to understanding the different mechanisms of mind, in the ideology/prejudice/instinct/reaction circuit, vs the considered-reasoning-circuit, in case you want the real “artillery” of understanding what’s going on in the world, now…

The same “morals” as the fake-Jews, aka “Jews”, who convicted Yehoshua “Jesus” ( Iosa, actually, not “Jesus”, was his Roman name, apparently ) benJoseph…

Remember in the Christian Bible, Pontius Pilate tried to have Rule of Just Law win the case, but the “Republicans” of his day wouldn’t tolerate that, and since Pontius Pilate didn’t have the political-leverage to win, he just washed his hands, explicitly of the case, in protest…

What has changed?

These “Christians” are behaving exactly the same, in motivation, as their predecessors did:

I think that “alleged” can be dropped, if the emergency-services people had to deal with evidence that was sufficiently-obvious.

TTBOMK, there are 3 things which change-the-rules, significantly.

1. Pimsleur. Get the Pimsleur app, get the all-languages subscription, & do 1 session per day.

2. Flashcards, or Anki, to get the visual imprinted into your automatic-mind, for any language you are trying to learn

Later…

3. Tandem, where you find a speech-learning partner, you help other people learn your languages better, other people help you learn your target-language better.

Begin with Pimsleur & with some yt videos.

( they have no Sanskrit, which is the one I want, unfortunately )

Do well!

Computational-Fluid-Dynamics simulations are RAM-limited, iirc.

I’m presuming many AI models are, too, since some of them require stupendous amounts of RAM, which no non-server machine would have.

“diminishing returns” is what Intel’s “beloved” Celeron garbage was pushing.

When I ran Memtest86+ ( or the other version, don’t remember ), & saw how insanely slow RAM was, compared with L2 or L3 cache, & then discovered how incredible the machine-upgrade going from SATA to NVMe was…

Get the fastest NVMe & RAM you can: it puts your CPU where it should have been, all along, and that difference between a “normal” build vs an effective build is the misframing the whole industry has been establishing, for decades.

“Christian”, NOT Christ-ian!!

The Christian bible, itself gives this concept, but, since it was written a “Day as a Thousand Years” & a “Night as a Thousand Years” ago, it nails false-Jews, aka “Jews”, using our new falsifying-quotes technology ( that John the gospeler didn’t have, which “justified” all the Catholic murdering of Jews…

John was railing against not Jews, but false Jews, aka “Jews”.

This is blatently-clear in that he repeatedly called his guru “rabbi”, instead of using some non-Jewish title for him, in those places )

See right here, how substituting the word Christian for the word Jew, and then doing it again with every religion, puts things back in proper perspective: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation 2%3A9&version=AMP

We have to use language correctly, & stop platforming gaslighting, through typography, or we are helping the bad-guys win through our spinelessness.

Confessions should only be between oneself & LivingSpirit.

Confession isn’t a social-engaging, unless its some kind of codependency-ritual, which isn’t healthy.

It also is true that ideologically-motivated-coding is an actual thing.

Imagine someone hating that their propaganda gets deleted by moderators, so they make it difficult for moderators to function that way…

while they, themselves, just so a SELECT on their DB to see the images, to delete all the ones they don’t want…

Remember, it isn’t only corporations who are committed to enforcing the Enshittocene, ideologues do, too.

Those comments are proven false by the dot-4 release of Lemmy, but I’m not accusing the Lemmy devs of being the way those post-quoted comments said.

I AM stating, bluntly, that deliberate torque on the use of ANY aspect of an app, is a thing, now, and need be considered as ONE of the possibilities.
