On a post talking about modifying the body, you say you want a magic ring? Do I dare open the link? :o

Do it. Doooo iiiit…

I vaguely remember reading about that when I was younger. I don’t know if it’s true, but this is what I read.

The peasants and farmers were made to stand in the fields throwing stones at the sparrows, preventing them from landing. The thinking was that the sparrows would die from exhaustion, if they weren’t killed by the stones.

What actually happened was that the existing crops were either trampled or broken by the stones, and as the farmers weren’t working the fields, nothing grew the following year either.

Like I say, I have no idea whether it’s true, or if it was just 80’s anti communist propaganda, but it’s stuck in my head ever since.

How do you fit the kettle down the drain? ;)

Opening a twist off bottle top with your hands when everyone else thinks it’s a normal bottle top is a good one for a quick laugh

I’m still trying them out, but if they work as advertised, then AppImages. That’s mostly because I use my desktop and laptop pretty much equally, so being able to copy and AppImage from one to the other and keep going would be really handy.

On a similar note, if a computer dies, being able to just copy and paste them to a new computer, or run them from a portable drive would be great.

If you’re taking any other meds, speak to a doctor before you try it.

I have a chronic illness that led to organ transplantation, and cannabis would interfere with one of my rejection meds. That would have caused me much bigger problems than the pain that I was trying to stop.

Unfortunately, cannabis has an almost cult like mythology around it. There are lots of people who will tell you that it cures everything, from mild pain to every type of cancer, and will even clean and polish your car 😉

I hope you find what you need. Good luck 🙂

Off topic, but I read a book or short story once that was similar to your edit.

It followed a character who lived on a planet with a toxic atmosphere. At the end of every day, everyone would get into a personal chamber that took a complete copy of them, destroyed their body, then rebuilt it and added the memories back the next morning.

I can’t remember if it was specified or implied, but the gist of it was that the machine ripped the body apart to the molecular level while the person was conscious, but the snapshot was taken before that, so no one remembered the pain.
