I feel that I agree to disagree. OP has asked other questions, hoping for some decent solid friendly advice.

OP, indeed you can’t rely on random strangers online for life advice, but when you get some decent advice, I hope you have the good sense to sift through the good vs bad advice.

I’d say read books that interest you. Buy and read as many as you can (physical books) before the current digital age destroys them all.

Edit: And keep those books, whatever books you find!

I probably have no business commenting here, but I’m gonna post my thoughts anyways.

• Forget the idea of intimacy, however long you feel you need to. Find an innocent hobby or skill, study it, master it as best as you can, and be proud of it.

• Be proud of yourself in general. If you were abused, you shouldn’t be ashamed, your abuser should be ashamed.

• If you do eventually find someone worth love, be open with them. They should understand and respect you and your boundaries.

• Take life at your own pace, don’t let anyone else abuse you again, and take my advice with a grain of salt.

Disclaimer: I’m no expert, but I’ve had friends that were abused ☹️

My addiction is basically whenever I have nothing else to do, like working on vehicles or moving furniture, or sleeping, I browse the internet.

So basically about 42%

Usually I wouldn’t be that guy, but it’s OBD2, not ODB2.

OBD - On Board Diagnostics

If it’s a custom DIY project, potentially years.

Some of my best projects basically came from parts and materials out of my junk bins. And sometimes it’ll take years before I randomly stumble into the exact right parts and materials I was looking for.

Smoke that ass!

I hear crickets…

Hands down, the Descent 2 PC/DOS intro, game released in 1996. They were ahead of their time, awesome game still to this day in my book.

Well, a few months ago, before I learned of the onion and garlic sensitivity thing, a friend of ours fed our dog a few bites of some awesome home cooked meat with garlic and onions in it.

It wasn’t a whole lot, just a few bites really, and our dog weighs right around 20 pounds. Anyways, after he had some time to digest it, around noon the next day he had an all out seizure for around 30 seconds, and then spent the next few hours shivering and obviously a bit scared and confused.

Luckily it wasn’t worse, and thankfully he hasn’t had any other seizures since. That was when I went ahead and looked up that much more complete list of foods dogs shouldn’t eat, to prevent any future episodes or worse…

It’s a shitbox

That largely depends on whether the poisoning was deliberate, and whether the dog survived.

I’ve only recently learned that onions and garlic are toxic to dogs and can and will cause seizures and even death. Not like anyone goes out of their way to feed onions or garlic to their dogs, but humans commonly add those things to our own food for extra flavor, which is partly why they say people shouldn’t feed their dog table scraps.

So if it wasn’t intentional, I’d be inclined to forgive them. But if it was intentional such as antifreeze or chocolate poisoning, I’d never forgive them, and I’d call the cops and report animal cruelty.

Edit: Spelling, plus added chocolate.

Okay, step away from the crack pipe, and nobody gets hurt.

Apparently at age 10, wasn’t intentional though. We were at a beach and I was thirsty. My mom had a bottle with some orange juice and I asked her if I could have a sip. She said okay, its a mixed drink though.

I was young and dumb, I didn’t know mixed drink meant it had alcohol in it, I thought it was sorta like a strawberry or banana milkshake mix, but with orange juice instead.

Once I drank about a quarter of the bottle, my mom noticed and stopped me, while somewhat laughing. Then she explained that mixed drink meant it had alcohol.

At least she apparently didn’t mix it very strong though, I didn’t get any significant buzz, at least from what I remember LOL!

Whoopsie!

Ask a quantum chip how to cure a disease? Sure, let’s accept that as a possible future…

You really think the chips actually understand diseases? We’re gonna end up with a whole new generation of people that have no clue how the shit works to begin with.

Eventually it’ll be like “How do I trim my toenails?”, while the ‘intelligent’ system responds to cut your appendages off.

Granted that AI and quantum computing aren’t quite the same thing. Does it matter? Future generations will have the ability to just ask a computer how to generate cure a disease…

The machine gives no fucks about us, it’ll just as easily destroy us if someone asks the wrong question or enters the wrong formula.

You’re forgetting the difference between processing and memory. The posted article is about memory.

If the memory sucks compared to standards of half a century ago, then they just suck.

Okay, you have a good day too.

I’m not about to create an account with miscellaneous sites that require my email.

Why do we humans even think we need to solve these extravagantly over-complicated formulas in the first place? Shit, we’re in a world today where kids are forgetting how to spell and do basic math on their own, no thanks to modern technology.

Don’t get me wrong, human curiosity is an amazing thing. But that’s a two edged sword, especially when we’re augmenting genuine human intelligence with the processing power of modern technology and algorithms.

Just because we can, doesn’t necessarily mean we should. We’re gonna end up with a new generation of kids growing up half dumb as a stump, expecting the computers to give us all the right answers.

Smart technology for dumb people…

Your first link is paywalled, fuck that.

Pulling a serious comment from your third link only reinforces practically everything I’ve been getting at…

“The problem of showing a ‘hello world’ of quantum computing is that we’re basically still as far from quantum computers as Leibnitz or Babbage were from your current computer. While we know how they should operate theoretically, there is no standard way of actually building a physical quantum computer. A side-effect of that is that there is no single programming model of quantum computing. Textbooks such as Nielsen et al. will show you a ‘quantum circuit’ diagram, but those are far from formal programming languages: they get a little ‘hand-waving’ on the details such as classical control or dealing with input/output/measurement results.”
