They can't possibly put him up as a candidate for the next elections, can they ? I mean, he looks at the end of his rope. Like, he's unwell and it shows. At one point in this video he seemed to be pitching towards the sides like a boat and I half expected him to fall down or fall asleep.

ways of managing build up of gas down there

Doubly so since there are fuel-powered generators down there

I think that vid shows a strike on a building near another hospital, filmed from the hospital

Admittedly I went directly to like the 5 largest instances to check, and didn't check them all; it's possible I may have missed a 6k comments post in one of the smaller instances but I really doubt it.

Of the five posts with the most comments of all times across all lemmy instances, three are hexbear news megathreads posted since October 7th

The dude that was supposed to listen in fell asleep at his desk before Al-Aqsa Flood started (and for the months of preparation before that) but that's it, he's awake now, trust us

The only saving grace is that mod support is coming next year which could be interesting.

Next year ? Bethesda released a game without day-one mod support ? are they stupid ?

There is an answer but you'll probably only manage to get it by going through semiconductor devices history and determining the hardware required at each improvement step, and the cost and acquirability of that hardware. This would take hours - potentially days - of research.

A quick search yielded this blog post though of someone attempting - and managing - production of a basic 1200-transistors semiconductor device in their garage, which I found rather neat. That's with no cleanroom, and with chemicals the purity of which are far removed from the ones the industry uses.

we are too far gone to even post on hexbear without 6 proxies

On that, reminder that the team from hexbear takes care to make sure our actual IPs are anonymized in log files when we use the website; so that if one day the servers were breached or seized, that at least would not be available.

You should still use proper opsec of course.

I was actually thinking of several more obscure examples I read about in an anthropology source a while back, but I couldn't find it again; it was particularly common in several parts of Africa where there were few consciousness-altering plants available.

The dervishes look similar but the aim I'm guessing is closer to meditation; the practices I read about were genuinely dangerous health-wise (extreme exhaustion, without pauses, without food or water) and resulted in full-on hallucinatory trips.

Or less subtle ones. Similar states of consciousness can be reached through extreme exhaustion, for example; in parts of the world where psychs were not naturally or easily available, there often are rituals where, for example, people will dance for hours, sometimes tens of hours, in order to have similar experiences.
