I was convinced about 20 years ago that at least 30% of humanity would struggle to pass a basic sentience test.

I actually think you are both right... But it's likely some one is using an AI translator that is trying to reconstruct the original picture with the translated words substituted in the original words place.

It's a lovely thought experiment and I am also a huge fan of when binary systems appear in nature, but also this is not necessarily fact.

Mozz fries are four times that price now in some areas.

Yeah that proves my point entirely.

In 1945 they fluoridated the first public water supply.

In 1979 the first published research began to appear to show how fluoride might be able to remineralize dental enamel.

It's so funny I was just having a similar conversation about neurotoxic venomous animals in another thread. Lethality is an obviously concerning threshold, but there are substances out there that can easily destroy your quality of life and livelihood that never reach the concern of being lethal.

I think for mostly rational people concerned about fluoride in their water is that it was a public health decision made with little to no actual science proving it's safety or efficacy when it was first decided that they were going to add it to the public water supply. The proposed benefits of it weren't even supported by scientific evidence, it was just supposed that exposure to sodium fluoride could potentially reduce tooth decay for some.

Personally, I've suffered from the cosmetic damage of dental fluorosis, and I'm not necessarily thrilled about fluoride. But I have way more issues with public mandates founded on pseudoscience than I am with sodium fluoride. Especially now that we can see evidence that for some people fluoride can be especially beneficial.

So what was wrong with giving people the option of using fluoride toothpaste or mouthwashes... Why did it have to go into the public water supply?

Yeah that's mostly true... But it's not like a hangover... I had a friend bitten by a snake out in the Mojave once and I'm sure she would have strong opinions about how strenuous the recovery was from it. Neurotoxins, especially potent ones, can be disruptive enough to create long term disabilities. If you are someone who performs a lot of skilled fine motor movements as part of your job or as part of a hobby or something it could be a significant amount of time for you to fully recover from a neurotoxin.

Cytotoxins are interesting as well, though generally not considered deadly they can really mess up your quality of life and be extremely debilitating, even disfiguring.

Generally just a good idea to stay away from anything venomous.

Yeap, but that's because the venom is a hemotoxin rather than a neurotoxin.

Oh fantastic, sorry if I missed that detail in the original post. Thought you might have had an old eBay blade server or something. Hope you got it working!

Alot of servers have at least one built in video output head but if it's an older device you might need to look for an HD15 VGA port... Some servers might have had some sort of micro port or proprietary port/dongle setup as well. Might refer to the documentation for the chassis/motherboard first... It's possible you have what you need already.

This is the way.... Setup and then open a terminal and then boot the machine... Helps to have console output logged on the host machine so you can review everything after... Some boot sequences can be tens of thousands of lines long on complex machines.

He seriously gave both of his kids first names that began with S? That had to be obviously insane right? Especially with a German last name like Stelter.

I mean come on right?
