What kind of eggs do you eat? There shouldn't be many layers to an egg. If we were talking about onions or parfet's or ogres, those could have many layers.

It depends on what kind of IC you need. If you need an authentic part that has been tracked and verified through every step of distribution, you pay a premium.

For hobby products, sure. Spend 30 cents on that 5 dollar part.

However, a bad batch of fake ICs could potentially cost a company millions of dollars in returns, or worst case, liability lawsuits. (It has personally only cost me a few bucks and some wasted time.)

My personal trust in any Chinese sourced electronics is zero. It's less than zero if I attempt to buy a proper name brand IC. I ain't salty about it since I know my odds of getting defective or improperly labeled (or relabeled) parts: Expect about a 30% failure rate or parts that are way out of spec.

Simply put, QA is generally poor and the supply chain is sketchy. If that doesn't matter to you, so be it.

What happens is it chips do come from the same Chinese manufacturer, you can get spectacularly different grades of parts depending on how you bought them.

Big Clive has a voice to sleep to. If you are not familiar, he does electronics teardowns and reverse engineering. While I usually just watch his videos to actually learn things, his voice will knock me right out if I need a nap.

You almost wrote a song or a poem.

Everybody move left,

they're trying to flank.

Bart! Where you going?

Get in that tank!

Not the Apache,

you wank.

You ask the people on the call if they can hear you. If not, adjust volume. Repeat as needed.

Sign language and video only is an option as well.

I understand where he is coming from as well, but yes, I disagree with prohibition in general and it's not for political reasons.

The best way to get someone to do something is to tell them they can't do it or they shouldn't do it. It's human nature, especially during youth.

The toxicity level of caffeine is going to be much higher and cause some nasty cardiovascular issues at higher dosages. (I was hospitalized as a teen for a caffeine overdose, actually. It's not a fun time.)

This is a rough estimate, as I didn't send too much time looking, but 1.2g of pure caffeine is enough to cause seizures with an estimate I saw of 5-10 grams to be lethal.

The first result I saw for a lethal dose of THC was 1.2g/kg so for a 180lb (81.6kg) person that is about 100g. (That's a lot of pure THC, btw.)

I believe the risks of cannabis are significantly less than nearly every other recreational drug out there. Hell, I am a huge psychedelic proponent, which in many cases causes less physical damage than most other drugs but also comes with its own list of caveats.

But yeah, I see what you are saying and agree. It is important to understand the correct risks of just about anything in life.

Some dry alcoholics love their soapbox though. I'll occasionally bash alcohol, but I honestly try to keep my opinion to myself unless I am with other recovering alcoholics. (Repetitive negative reinforcement has a place, believe it or not.) What I am saying is that it is easy for someone in perpetual recovery to get a hair preachy. It's a thing. (Also guilty here, btw.)

It's usually only stocked in stores around the holidays and I am too lazy to make it on a whim.

So, because of that, yes. It is only a holiday drink for me. It's unfortunate, because I love the stuff. (Even when I drank, I didn't care for it with alcohol.)

Crimes do not need to be committed in anger and crimes can also be petty. Autism doesn't need to be a direct cause of a crime, but it will probably be a huge contributing factor.

I can't think of a specific case off top of my head, but I'll describe a scenario that I know I have been through hundreds of times. This could also apply to anti-social behavior or what would seem to be a disregard for "social rules" in general. (Excuse me while I try to explain a state of mind without a good example.)

Sometimes, an action seems the most logical in the moment. If someone was to exclaim in excitement, "Some one pinch me, because I must be dreaming!", my first reaction would be to take that statement literally and pinch the person. In my head, the action was justified, and I would expect a positive response when we know that likely would not be the case.

If we scale that up a hair, there have been cases, with me specifically, where an action that seems logical may absolutely not be appropriate or even legal. I absolutely have no intentions of breaking a law or causing trouble, but my brain immediately tries to solve a problem in the simplist way possible and I act on what I can only describe as reflex.

I think what I am trying to describe is very similar to my distinct lack of brain-to-mouth filter. If there is an obvious solution to something, but nobody actually says it out loud, I probably will. Unbeknownst to me, everyone already was thinking what I said, and it wasn't socially acceptable to actually say it.

Thankfully, the legal system is setup to determine actual intent. Intending to commit a crime can be much more serious than commiting a crime by accident. Even the most serious of crimes are structured this way, ie: manslaughter vs murder; intentional or accidental.

They tried. I can still see it through the cosplay.

It was overshadowed by the first bit where you said "by definition, impossible". It kinda boned the delivery, TBH.
