I work for an electronics recycler and test equipment that comes through to see if its upcycle worthy. I'm a general electronics nerd but don't know much about audio equipment. I ran across these a few months ago and love them. But I tried looking for some for myself and realized I don't know what they actually called.

Well now I need a tool that makes graphs like this. I think I smell a winter break project coming up

Too bad they don't sell them in the US. I would buy one immediately.

The explaination of how differentials work was painfully wrong. An I lost confidence in this author's ability to explain the topic.

I am not a doctor but found that this was an interesting read.

Fuck this guy but what is with this article. Does rolling stone really think that their readership is so dumb they'd believe this was anything other than an obvious attempt at humor?

An LW admin has confirmed that grow topics including photos and discussion are allowed so long as they can reasonably construed as educational. So don't encourage people to grow and don't get too specific when discussing your methods (sourcing, trading, sales). However, I expect hunting and identifying to fall under educational content.

Our community rules are:

  1. Follow the Lemmy World Terms of Service.
  2. Be helpful.
  3. No trading of anything here.
  4. Do not post about vendors.
  5. No Irrelevant Content.
  6. No grow guides and don't encourage others to grow.

I was specifically told by LW admins that we should model our rules after /c/trees and that the applicable jurisdiction is the Netherlands. So if anyone can cite some sources on what the actual laws are there, it will help me be as lenient as possible when enforcing rules here.

[UPDATE 11/16/2023]: LW admin AvaddonFC has confirmed that photos of your grows are allowed.

Hello everyone, I just wanted to take a moment to make sure we are all up to speed on this community's rules. /c/Shrooms was reopened on the condition that we enforce LW's TOS. Feel free to post your questions here or shoot me a PM.

Our community rules as they currently stand:
1. Follow the Lemmy World Terms of Service.
2. Be helpful.
3. No trading of anything here. (See rule 1.)
4. Do not post about vendors. (See rule 1.)
5. No Irrelevant Content.
6. No instructions on how to grow or where to source materials.

~~I know that rule 6 is a bit broad and potentially vague. I have messaged an admin for clarification and will update this post when I receive a response. For now, I believe it's best to air on the side of caution and remove all posts about growing.~~

This is FUD. AI integration is a given, but I doubt they would outright axe the start button unless they plan to fundamentally change the Windows UX design language.

If they do, expect it to go the way of Windows 8.0 real fast.

This means nothing. I'd be willing to bet that anyone unwilling to wear a mask is also unwilling to listen to science/medical experts.

Sounds like something a vampire pedo would say.

Spoiling races was the one thing I hoped we would leave with Reddit. I mean, considering the current state of F1 Max winning isn't really a surprise. That doesn't make it okay. When/if Lemmy supports Spoiler tags, I hope we can enforce this rules for at least the first 24 hours after a race.

May Lemmy never archive old posts.

I realize that this turned into a wall of text. See TLDR.

I made the decision to seek psychiatric care for what I believe to be ADHD. At my new patient appointment, after being drug tested at the door, we discussed my occasional use of marijuana. They made me agree to completely stop consuming weed and in no certain terms said they would drug test me in a month's time to make sure I actually quit.

I understand that there is some concern that marijuana can worsen ADHD. I am not in a position to challenge my care provider on the science of the matter. What I don't understand is why they are taking such overbearing measures to make sure I abstain from marijuana.

For example, when I had a colonoscopy performed a couple of years ago, I was advised by my doctor not to consume any food or liquids within a certain window before the procedure. I simply agreed to fast during that period and that was it. They trusted me to be an adult and follow their instructions. They didn't check for food in my stomach when I arrived at the hospital.

I should note that this practice primarily practices substance abuse treatment. Could this be a side effect of some zero-tolerance policy? Or do they really believe that smoking marijuana is that detrimental to my well-being?

TLDR; Dr asked me to quit smoking weed in order to get access to treatment. And said they would drug test me.

  1. Did your Dr also mention marijuana?
  2. Did they drug test you?
