@thor i'm not really well versed in this but schopenhauer and nietzsche got to the conclusion that art and "creating" stuff is propably the nearest thing to sense humans have. on the other hand there is the naturalistic "get kids", as suggested by the others here in the thread.

my vote would be that there is no deeper sense, so do as you please but minimize negative impact on the world you have. this includes animals and nature: they are struggling harder than we are, be nice to them

hot take: demo/self produced versions of songs often are better than the thing which goes onto the final record. cf. "men at work - down under" https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=D2lhmqKLais and "blue oyster cult - don't fear the reaper" https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8m6oDWLEF4Y

many producers can do amazing clean memorable radio stuff, but only few (john parish, imo) have a feeling for the music.

@thor charcoal isn't burned, it's made by pyrolysis (heat without oxygen present): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrolysis

@thor the genes were propably good 100 years ago: no hair -> high testosterone, getting fat easily -> survived winters. regarding what to eat, i'm not sure keto is the answer, but the classic pyramid with grain carbs at the bottom is bullshit imo. i for one feel much better if the carbs are from vegetables.

@thor thats how peak performance looks like :)

> we can do an experiment. Join any popular matrix public group chat. You'll see that 85% (or even more) of the participants is on matrix.org.

that's not a problem inherent in the matrix protocol, sorry.

> If matrix.org goes down, it'll be like the whole protocol goes down (just like Freenode and IRC)

irc is dead because freenode is dead? wat?

> You should also consider that it requires more resources (and IMO it's harder) to selfhost it. That makes matrix less suitable for individuals and small projects.

if you have huge rooms you need a big server. with a handful of rooms and people you can selfhost on a 3$ vps. i'll give you that synapse needs more resources than an irc server, but don't dramatize it.

i should really do a collection of the fud people spread about matrix.

@Shiroyasha that seems sensible :) we can't legally grow hemp here aside special varieties for fibre production but you still need a permit.. reefer madness ;)

@Shiroyasha didn't you have the lighting setup etc. or is that all occupied by the lettuce?

@Shiroyasha sell it and grow weed? ;)

@publicvoit tbh, i'd really might do it this way the next time. i hate haggling in any context.

if any other country had bombed AP or Al Jazeera bureaus we'd have massive sanctions against them now, maybe a military intervention. there would've been a global outcry.

regarding the "right to self defense" spin: self defense is usually defined as "the least amount of force required".
