  • Musk blows up online as ‘ketamine’ dinner clip resurfaces

    Jump

  • Tbh, his Ketamine use makes me very very happy. He should do it more often.

    Why? Ketamine abuse leads to severe damage of the urinary tract system. According to various sources this is already happening - and the damage is irreversible. Patients suffering from them are unable to pee - while having a massive urge to do so (imagine a decade long UTI, with your bladder really filled to the brim but you can't pee physically). And in the end it fucks their kidneys up due to the urine backing up into it. (And no, he can't get a transplant then. As the ureter is the problem and damaged beyond repair there isn't that much that can't be done then)

    Furthermore the combination of drugs he admits he takes is a prime setup for a ketamine induced persistent psychosis. Elmo is already showing massive signs of intermittent or persistent psychosis, but things can get worse - far worse for him. Because the combination he takes can sometimes lead to a chronic persistent psychosis with auditory or visual hallucinations, delirium and ongoing psychosis symptoms. In other words: He would get so batshit crazy that a normal person would either be admitted in time and for a long time or kill themselves. In his case it's more likely that his staff would make sure he doesn't kill himself and lock him away. (Kill as in "running over a highway butt naked because the Zombie cows hunt them" or "trying to stop a train by a naruto move")

    When I still worked in a psychiatric hospital we gad a similar guy - actually not unintelligent,but fried his brain with a similar mixture. In the end result he needed massive loads of drugs so he wouldn't be in a constant state of panic (mostly because every shadow was a giant spider trying to kill him) but basically made him a zombie. And,as he did a few awful things in this state of terror(setting fire to the psychiatric hospital twice, push a old lady in front of a bus -she was not hurt as the bus was imaginary,too-, stabbing a kindergarten teacher in front of her class) he was with us for years in a locked/high security ward. Aftee that he left us towards a similar ward in a permanent nursing facility.

    There is a good chance he won't have a nice retirement life. Which is well deserved.

    [SOLVED] What is actually meant in practical terms when it is said that ketamine causes kidney damage, what are the observable effects that results in?

    Jump

  • *Disclaimer: Everything here is based on the pure, pharmacological, Ketamine used in medicine,not the shit you buy somewhere. * Ketamine, as long as it's pure, does not damage the kidneys per se. But it wreaks havoc on the urinary system which then can lead to kidney damage.

    Ketamine does cause chronic Zystitis(think of a chronic, but often not as massively painful, UTI) and damages to the ureter. This then, in the long run, causes Hydronephrosis by dilating the ureter - which then has the potential to cause kidney damage due to a backup of urine.

    Additionally Ketamine's common side effect is an increase in blood pressure that can absolutely cause kidney damage as well.

    It shall be noted that this usually only occurs after using ketamine longer than one month.

  • Looking to upgrade my NAS need advice.

    Jump

  • Just a few considerations:

    • For a 12 bay NAS I would strongly consider ZFS - which makes ECC more or less a must.
    • Mainboard wise the CWK AMD Board is worth a consideration, and so is the Asrock Live Mixer B850 if you want ECC on AMD5
    • A popular build option is using a cheap used or "Chinese" host-build controller as SATA ports are hard to get these days.
    • I would personally look at using Proxmox and then TrueNAS as an NAS OS and simply passthrough the HBA.
    • Another alternative would be using a Zimbra Board and use their expansion options - but that comes with downsides in terms of CPU power and no ECC.
    • For Plex it might be favourable to use a CPU with a built-in GPU for transcoding. Intel is slightly better here, but has other downsides, especially if you want ECC
    • Get a Geekworm PiKvm, a original PiKVM, a NanoPi oder JetKVM...or something like that. it's worth it.
    • If you don't feel like self-building anymore have a look at the Ugreen. They come without the "only approved HDDs" Synology bullshit, allow you to install your own OS and are fairly capable. But sadly they do not support ECC. (And they aren't really cheaper than self building at least not in central Europe.)

  • Why 3D-Printing an Untraceable Ghost Gun Is Easier Than Ever (Podcast 18mins)

    Jump

  • Depends on the type of 3D printer.

    Fused Deposition Modeling, the standard "filament" 3D printing everyone thinks about when hearing the word 3D printing prints with plastics - of some sort. All of them,to a certain degree.

    There are incredibly sturdy options nowadays, which include carbon fibers, but in the end the adhesions between layers will always be an issue. There are also options to print a cast for a mold and some funny techniques where you print a model with a specialised filament that is half plastic,half metal powder and send it to a company which "burn off" the plastic part, replace it with metal and send you back an (almost as sturdy as a cast) part that is fully metal.

    Resin based printing is also a thing but not nearly as sturdy as FDM.

    Last but not least there is metal powder based SLS(Selective Laser Sintering), but that does not produce those sturdy parts everyone thinks of, is extremely sensitive/requires a lot of knowledge and lastly money - these printers start around 20k for the better models.

    In terms of additive manufacturing people are able to print non load bearing gun parts. Maybe even sturdier than before. And easier. (A 400$ printer nowadays does what a 1300$ printer did a year ago and a 15000$ printer did 15 years ago. But for everything load/pressure/shock bearing, like a barrel, spring assembly,firing pin,etc. will still need to be from pure metal. So people would still need to improvise these,most important, parts.

    BUT: There are also self-built CNC machines. MPCNC, etc. are a thing, and more advanced projects for around 2500-3000$ omwards can easily achieve a level of precision on steel that is more than sufficient for an all metal ghost gun and close to what industrial guns makers in WW1, maybe even WW2, achieved.

    It's currently really the golden age of home manufacturing.

  • The good news is not that X and Elmo did lose the case and now have to pay.

    It's about the signal it sends out. It will be far harder and more expensive for any of his companies to rent property somewhere in the future. Also just a drop in the bucket, but a far more substantial one compared to the ruling. And that is a good thing.

  • Because that immune system(if one wants to call it so) is within the eyeball,not on the outside. Lacrimal immune response is something else again.

    Overall: It's called Immune privilege and is present in the central nervous system, the uterus and the testicles as well.

    It's nowhere near as extreme as the comment OP posted thinks it is - if you think about it closely it doesn't make sense. The interior of the eye is highly vascularized and of course "regular" immun system parts go through that.

    In reality it's more like"the eye" has an "extra Immunsystem" that helps it keep its special structures functional. Both alone as well as with the help of the body's main system.

  • The war started in 2014 but somehow half of Europe and all of the US forgot.

    Not to mention what happened in Georgia. Or what happened in Chechnya.

    Or with people living in Moscow just because Putler wanted to start a war. Or journalists.

    Sorry,but Russia never was a beloved uncle. Russia was always the "shady, violent, uncle who can't keep his hand off his kids but everyone ignores that because some family image they need to uphold and furthermore while he is quite poor he makes great gifts to the rest of the family. So everyone tolerates him."

    Total cost should be around 120€/month.
