Fermion,

I found out about that in college. Initially I thought it was some cleaning compound in the dorm toilets. I found out later that someone had put methylene blue in brownies they brought to a gathering as a prank.

It wasn’t that great of a prank because it relies on people talking about the color of their urine well after the prank was done.

Fermion,

Wouldn’t you swap the cat and mouse toy positions? You manipulate the mouse toy to in turn manipulate your cat.

Fermion,

So would it go Media -> cat -> toy -> you?

Fermion,

Did they take that toothbrush to a belt sander?

Fermion, (edited )

Have you read the books? He comes very close to endorsing incest, and he talks way too much about young teen sexual attraction and relationships.

A major plot point is a group of women who can so expertly perform sexual favors that they completely override the free will of men.

This is mild compared to what went on in his head.

Fermion, (edited )

I was thinking of the Honored Matres of the scattering, whom the bene gesserit despise largely because they rely on sexual manipulation rather than other forms of control and influence.

I probably should have specified that much of that is later in the series and not in the first book.

Where can a Boomer catch up on current computer/software technology?

I have an eight-year-old laptop that needs replacing and I’m paralyzed. What are the most reliable ones now? Do I need a desktop for CAD? Pros and cons of operating systems (and where do I find them?) Browsers ditto? Where do I find answers that aren’t just product marketing?

Fermion, (edited )

If the CAD package can leverage GPU computing, then an eGPU is a good compromise. That way you can have plenty of power and airflow at the desk for intensive tasks, but you don’t need to lug all the hardware to the floor for interfacing with plc’s or to meetings. Although systems with good eGPU support are often expensive enough that keeping a separate desktop workstation and a lightweight laptop is competitive.

High single core cpu clock speeds and lots of ram should be the first priority for cad. Solidworks, for example, does not handle running out of ram gracefully at all.

Fermion,

The unnecessary emoji has major Facebook vibes.

Fermion,

Title says Quercus, but emojis say Castanea.

Fermion,

Bender is going to make some award winning sausage.
