Wiki for phenacetin says it's mechanism of action is being metabolized into paracetamol. IDK about your "nowhere as effective".

It was withdrawn for sometimes being metabolized into another, toxic and carcenogenic, molecule.

i have no practice with lambda calculus, and no reason too, but i love esoteric diagram types and ill-advised metaphors. i'm gonna learn this shit

The obvious thing for me is to have the orbit around sun, second, etc - all the things you decided to run clockwise - as fixed points, at the top, and let the tracks themselves run anti clockwise. Then everything would move the same way, same direction, and a "now" that's a the same spot always.

As it is now, "now" is at different places at the different circles.,.,.

I'm pretty sure 0.1 µmol per liter and such absolutely does happen in recreational use. (Recreational use is toxic, destroys memory, etc.)

So, using git exactly as usual?

edit: and also, not bothering to represent manual edits to the code...

>OTOH I think a lot of these methods don't matter that much because of plausible deniability. Stylometry and other stuff processes is always probabilistic, and can be dismissed.

i've come to realize, often the "opressor" or whatever party i imagine using this kind of thing against me, they do not care about being exactly

> Pi is indeterminent and thus cannot be an object to be counted

this seems weird to me. doesn't pi (the symbol) point to one specific concept, whether or not we can determine its exact shape?

oh yeah i remember as a kid into webdev and php how some sites would have these CLEAN urls. seemed like magic to me.

New comment by sixeyes in "15 years later, Microsoft morged my diagram"

sixeyes — Wed, 18 Feb 2026 08:28:09 +0000

did you read the article? this is explicitly explained! at length!

not at all about the reuse. it's been done over and over with this diagram. it's about the careless copying that destroyed the quality. nothing was wrong with the original diagram! why run it through the AI at all?

I'm on the Merveilles ring and it has such a local/"neighbourhood" search, hosted by one of the members: https://lieu.cblgh.org

Pretty cool, and seems easy to set up

New comment by sixeyes in "NetNewsWire Turns 23"

sixeyes — Thu, 12 Feb 2026 09:15:53 +0000

i love it, no idea it was 23 years old!

however, i found it doesn't abide by some "no new content, back off for a bit" part of the protocol. i've had two feeds refuse to be added because it sends multiple requests during discovery, i think. kind of a bummer!

sixeyes — Wed, 26 Nov 2025 15:41:53 +0000

did you miss the part where the agent immediately went around it?

the .gitignore applies to the agent's own "read file" tool. not allowed? it will just run "cat .env" and be happy

i noticed this EXACT behavior of cat-ing .env in cursor too. completely flabbergasted. i saw it tried to read the .env to check that a token was present. couldn't due to policy ("delightful! someone thought this through.") but then immediately tried and succeeded in bypassing it.

Why would they exit nvidia while still keeping upwards of $10B or whatever it is in OpenAI? Genuine question.

Worpress themes were just PHP themselves and people used to smuggle all things of stuff in there.

Ate a lot of nettle soup growing up. I'd say it tastes a lot like spinach. It's also nice to put a little milk (sorry vegans)
