Thank you, Cracked. All of this shit bothered the hell out of me. Although they forgot the 'LSD and Shrooms make your brainstem bleed and that's why you hallucinate' myth that everyone seems so enamored of, even though it's a colossal pile of bullshit.

My favorite one is "Marijuana is 50 times stronger now than it was in the 60s-70s." Nobody would have bothered smoking it back then if this was true.

Full marks on the YouTube GeekWeek quiz at first effort. BOOM. As if I needed anyone to reinforce my geek cred!

Lyme Disease vaccine reaches Phase 3 trials.

Well, technically that's true. In the 60s and 70s, marijuana had a THC content of like 5-8%. Nowadays, the high power specially bred strains can get up to like 15-20%. But most marijuana people smoke is cheap schwag, which is still in that 5-8% range. The myth shouldn't be, "It's 50 times stronger". Rather, it should be, "Some strains can be much stronger than the average."

Also, that 5-8% range is VERY much so enough to get you high. The good stuff that's a much higher percentage isn't really any more amazing for it's higher content, just more likely to make you pass out or trip your balls off a bit.

X-REBIRTH NOW WITH STEAM PAGE, RELEASE DATE, LOOKS AWESOME, OMG

Assuming the trailer does in fact show actual gameplay footage of flying a ship from the cockpit, OH MAN I'M GEEKING OUT HERE. <INSERT UNMANLY FANGIRLY SQUEAL HERE.>

They had me at flying a ship in space.

In unrelated news, strawberries are delicious.

This. Tourists are often warned that most of the strains sold in coffeeshops in the Netherlands are probably much stronger than what they're used to. Of course there are those that think they know it all and don't listen. I've seen Snoop who had to be carried out of a coffeeshop

In unrelated news, strawberries are delicious.

Strawberries are always related.

7026 in... 4 and a half years and almost 100 days logged on.

68 days logged in, and over 7200 posts. I guess I talk a lot.


Anyway, seeing trailer's of Ender's Game coming out has motivated me to actually do something for once and read it. TO THE LIBRARY!

Oh man, one of my favorite clients invited me to GenCon next week, so we can go hang out and be nerds. I can't go, but the gesture made me happy. Stupid income, not allowing me to take semi-justifiable business trips yet. :I

Days logged on is just since the last time you deleted your browser history

[Sirus]

Can't be. I connect through two different devices and one of them (my phone) had its entire memory wiped just a couple months ago. Yet I still have 190 days logged on. What gives?

Yeah... total time logged in hasn't reset despite me going through about three (four?) computers since it started ticking up. S'got nothing to do with the local data.

[miauw62]

Hm. Alright, then. I've got 65 days.

I heard the system kinda logs you out after 15 minutes of inactivity (counted as browsing or posting).

[Nadaka]

I don't think I have been happy enough about this. But I got a new job and am going to be making a LOT more money.
