What do you eat when you're in a hurry, Lain? Almost all of my meals for the past few months have been in a hurry and goddamn, i'm eating like soykaf. I can't even buy any snacks anymore because i'll just eat them instead of making food.

>>2663 The healthiest fast food available. Or if I'm at home, an omelett with whatever protein I can find

>>2661 The brain looks retarded. The gyri and sulci is not as intricate and the outside pressure is too low for the thing to survive.

>>2663 I've been eating a lot of junk recently, mostly things like precooked chicken and supermarket donuts. I'm not even in a hurry these days I just forget to eat, then when I get to the shop for alcohol I realise that I'm hungry and sperg out. I should stop.

Do any of you feel like soykaf all day if you don't sleep enough? I'm not that old (early 20's), but i remember a few years back this didn't happen at all, i could wake up sluggish but as soon as i got moving/took a shower the feeling would go away. Now if i sleep two hours less than what i was supposed to sleep that night, it's hell. I can't work, i can't think and i always just wanna go back to bed. fuarrrk.

>>2673 Yes, it is like kicking dead whales down the beach. I too remember that, whenever I would sleep only 3 hours or so, I actually felt more energetic than normal (though that would be followed by an unbearable sleepiness after a few hours). Last night I barely had any sleep, and I had zero energy. I didn't want to do anything at all, even getting in the shower took a soykafload of premeditation because I was feeling super low. At 26 years of age I am starting to feel the effects of ageing.

>cute as a motherfucker Reporting in.

>>2680 SUPER CUTE GABE

Teach me to chill lain!

>>2682 Pretend you've taken 2mg of xanax. Or, if you've never had xanax before, find and take some.

What do you people do in your free time? For the past year i've done very little besides studying and working. Now that things are slowing down, i can't into chill anymore. I tried playing MMOs again but i can't really find anything good.

I was thinking about what is the comfyest super power you can possibly have, and i think being rich is better than any super power, in degrees of comfyness. Think about it, body temperature would be neat, always being in the perfect, most comfy temperature. Unless you're reach, then you can always be in whatever temperature you'd like. You can even travel to a country with the right temperature. Telekinesis, able to read stuff on your bed without getting your arms tired. Unless you're rich, you can pay someone to build you a simple structure to hold the book for you on the bed. Not only that but everything you own as a rich person is comfy, so you don't really need to read on the bed, your chair will be bed-tier-comfy. Ability to conjure up food - rich people have it better. Never getting fat and eat all you can, well, here powers might come in handy as even rich people can't engineer their bodies like that. But that's not really that comfy.

>>2688 amateur radio, play with older tech or public systems, hiking, climbing, reading, walking, whatever.

>>2715 i think having the ability to shrink or expand your body size could be comfier. if you're not rich enough you have to worry about finances, if you're too rich you have to worry about people trying to kill you. but if you can shrink down to a tiny size any comfortable blanket would become a mountain of comfy as long as you got rid of any insects in your prior regular size. food wouldn't be an issue as you could eat while small and be full from tiny portions. the best all around superpowers i think are either: ability to stop time for everything but you/time travel or telepathy, both of which could easily be exploited to make big bucks. again though, being rich is probably better aside from the cool factor, if you had superpowers you'd probably get recruited to some group of superheroes/villains or there would be a supervillain/hero (respectively) who'd want to fight you all the time which seems like a bother.

>>2663 Pasta with alfredo sauce if I don't care about how healthy it is, keep some crushed garlic in the fridge for it. Very quick, about 15 minutes. boil pasta, fry garlic (to taste, I like a lot as in a whole bulb worth but less if you hate it or none if you really hate it. Maybe replace with another aromatic?) in pan a minute or two before pasta is done, drain water from pasta and pour pasta in pan with garlic. Add 1 pint heavy cream or half and half per 1 pound pasta, at least a couple of tablespoons of butter or some sort of oil, and cheese to flavor. Add seasonings. I'm a creole seasoning with extra paprika sort of guy myself. stir it all together and by the time you've mixed it in it'll be done, but make it as thick or as thin as you like. This whole process should take about 15 minutes max not counting peeling garlic, which should take about 5 minutes. Get the good stuff, it's easier to peel and tastes better. You'll get to use less of it to get the same flavor. Many other types of sauces to go on pasta take very small amounts of time as well. The big block here is the boil time of the pasta. Pasta is basically empty carbs though so keep your eye on how much you eat. Also be aware that you can add tons of things into this, including veggies and meats and other things that have actual nutrition in them. Some sauces lend themselves to this more than others.

pics from venezuela are pretty schway

>>2723 >>2724 Joey did it first https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LMnXxNdclg

>>2663 I eat/drink that soylent soykaf, it's pretty tasty. I get it half off of the regular price though, probably wouldn't do it if I had to pay full price, I'm poor. It does fill you up though, and it's fast too.

whiz

>>2763 half price soylent? screams counterfeit to me you got some big balls

>>2787 not with all the soy he's ingesting

>>2791 LOL I try to keep it balanced. >>2787 Nah it's pre-sealed and stuff, I get it off of the soylentmarket on reddit, most of the time it's expired stuff but it tastes good.

i swear to baby jesus..

>>2834 Is this part of some scam? How do people make money with such a work ethic?

>>2834 Why would anyone consider a company with a culture that involves anarchy like that? How does anything get done if no one is pressured to communicate?

>>2835 Sadly, no. It's a serious job offer from a serious company. I've seen worse soykaf tbh, companies asking you NOT to be a neet (aka to work with us you MUST go out a lot because we're fuarrrking cool haha!), companies asking for gurus as if programming was a fuarrrking belief and not a craft, on and on. WebDevelopment has a lot of people who don't know what the fuarrrk they're doing. Butchering the definition of anarchy was a first, though. >>2837 Companies with async communications aren't that rare (it has nothing to do with anarchy though). Things get done because if they don't get done people who are not doing them get fired. People naturally communicate in async environments, that's like asking "how open source projects ever get done".

>>2834 If you're in for a soykafstorm of biblical proportions then you should go right ahead and post this specific image on leftypol.

>>2848 That pic is older than the internet. It won't cause a sh.tstorm anywhere.

There was an old blog i found one night while browsing similar blogs to http://www.cjas.org/~leng/lain.htm#intro It was about someone's franken-PC with Beos and a custom bootloader and there was a pic of the tower on their bed, just wondering if anyone knew where it was today.

lul

>>2975 i just noticed this post really looks like i'm advertising but i was just surprised by such a bullsoykaf ad for developers. Looks like a nike ad.

Got creative and repurposed a shader I made quite some time ago. Learned some basic usage of ffmpeg while at it too. I hope it works.

>>2978 Good soykaf, Lain.

I like programming, the act of programming, but i've never been particularly drawn towards any sub area of programming (web development, game dev, system dev). I'm currently focusing on webdev just because it's easier to get a job. The only area i feel a raging boner towards is infosec, but i want to keep my hikikomori ways and it wouldn't be realistic to get a remote infosec job so, webdev is safer. Does anyway feel similarly? that they enjoy the act of programming, but not the end goal? Not necessarely making sites, games or engines? Just programming itself.

>>2662 holy soykaf, autism. I love it

Nice thread, lol http://iichan.hk/o/arch/res/20007.html

>>2834 Sounds pretty schway. I wonder what tools they use to communicate?

>>2978 What did you create the shader in?

>>3278 I enjoy both. I also enjoy the feeling of when a project starts progressing.

>>4742 lol fuarrrking russians

I've been reading up on the biology of bats; mainly fruit bats, how they fly, how strong their lungs are and stuff. Science is pretty comfy.

>>4757 i LOVE bats! They're very cool animals, and their biology is fabulous max

>>4760 I know! They're just so awesome in terms of evolutionary adaptation. Funny, bats used to kinda spook me, but after reading a little I love them.

http://nullsect.com/ some cyberpunk inspired group I found some time ago, along with the track. Don't know anything about the group myself though.

bats are fuarrrking gay literally fuarrrking retarded like a fuarrrking ugly ass dog with wings and soykaf lmao

>>4793 no bully the bat pls.

I made the best sandwich. it's beautiful ; v ;

>>4789 tried contacting them but no response for almost a month now :/ i think this could be some arg ? u need to solve to join https://github.com/Dzdavid3/Documentation-

>>5279 did you find these or make them? They're quite awesome.

>>5281 I think I downloaded these from Wikipedia some time ago. That being said, I've been looking into ways to generate these sets recently and just the nature of fractals in general.. It seems kind of complicated and I'm just getting into it but I think I can figure it out.. Would be so cool to explore all those depths. Maybe I'll make a thread sometime when I have everything pieced together.

>>5282 kalles fraktaler

>>5283 I love you. For some reason that never came up in my searches.. I blame startpage's weak ass algorithm. Checking it out now.

>>5282 xaos is also a good option. its packaged in almost every loonix distrib Ive used

>>5278 damn I miss acid

>>5282 >>5278 I like Julia set more than Mandelbrot tbh.

>>5399 they're deeply related >Collection of Julia sets laid out in a grid such that the center of each image corresponds to the same position in the complex plane as the value of the set. When laid out like this the overall image resembles the Mandelbrot set. Here there are 100x100 julia sets.

>>5400 >16MB This is a neat picture and all, but wew

>>5400 holy soykaf, TIL That's fuarrrking amazing

>>5399 This pic looks like a Menuki.

>>5399 the mandelbrot set is defined in terms of julia sets.

This isn't baby dolphins but seems similar to lainchan. They have an RSS news feed as well. https://axiom.cafe/news/ http://axiom.cafe/cynet/cyber/

>>5278 How bout some good ol buddhabrot? This technique is pretty damn cool.

Take "schway" elsewhere >:^(

I've got a comfy discord with some friends that is Future Dystopia/Cyberpunk themed, and it'd be more comfy with some lains in there.

>>5923 >discord >cyberpunk I don't even.

>>5923 Lmao

>>5923 Stop using discord.

>>5923 >using a service that tracks everything you do is "cyberpunk" This is why we cannot have nice things.

>>5923 fuarrrk off with that normal person trash. no discord here, only IRC. someone suggested matrix on the other site though, seems promising. its basically an easier IRC with more features

>that hivemind

>>5923 It appears that certain communication protocol superiority has lead to a controversy.

I wish I wasn't completely alone.

Are you listening to something right now, Lain? This is my jam lately https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2quiyHfJQw

>>5391

>>5941 to be fair he did say it's dystopia/cyberpunk

>>5282 >ways to generate these sets recently and just the nature of fractals in general mandelbrot sets are easy: >z_0 = 0 + 0i >z_(n+1) = (z_n)^2 + c pick a boundary value M. for each complex number c in the square, run that function N times. the black pixels in the middle are c values for which the sequence never increases past M (i.e. they never diverge to infinity). colored pixels are c values where the sequence diverges, with colors corresponding to how quickly this happens. that's the approximation anyway... larger M and N values trade speed for accuracy.

Does anyone know something I could read/consume to get a proper understanding of the mandelbrot and julia sets? I understand how they're created, but it seems kind of arbitrary with my current understanding. I want to be able to see more than just pretty shapes when I watch the pretty shapes.

ok

>>2991 That's Korean, though.

>>6851 Nice

>>2688 Tell me if you find anything out, I seem to be in the same situation, I can sympathsise. On the rare occasion I have nothing to do, I can't find any of my old entertainment worthwhile, the only thing that's maintained value is music while I work. I can only seem to do 'productive' things, though perhaps if I find productive things I enjoy it won't be as much of an issue.

>>2718 lain I've never read anything so articulate and well-stated I am now on the tiny wave ty
