the only thing i like about patents is it helps establish intellectual property that can help an individual inventor. theyre fucked in the corporate legal system without it.

that said if they held a crypto key that controlled or sanctioned its use it would be a better system.

A patent is only worth having if you have the money to defend yourself in our lovely legal system. Good luck taking apple or google to court, you will run out of money before they even get into the courtroom. Know how is more important with certain parts covered by patents;)

extremely interesting topic

i agree patents are immoral many instances

ive recently been interested in cannabis gene mapping how big pharma and cannabis firms are taking strains mapping it and then owning it!

Which means that locals must buy seeds from them or work in another way with them

i have been watching the channel Future Cannabis Project on youtube

This seems to be a stronger argument for chemistry which even if original is only a few steps away from nature.

I hear you dog but if there were no protections for intellectual property how do you think it would work out for inventors? Wouldn't evil corporations steal their ideas and dominate with distribution and marketing?

Without patents your life would be very different. Think about all the money ip generates for the country which trickles down through society. Morals are a luxury for people with money and or a safety net to look down on others and tell yourself how you are nothing like them;) if patents didn’t exist then all your wealth would be stolen and your morals would also likely disappear when you needed money for food and healthcare or your family.

uhh how exactly would my wealth be stolen without patents?

Think about where all the money circulating comes from. Even if you don’t directly receive money from abroad, where do the people who pay you for whatever you do, money come from. Money goes round and round. Money stops going round to the people injecting money into this circle if they cannot receive money because someone just did it in another country for cheaper.

kind of difficult to understand you but fiat money comes from a central bank, crypto is mined.

my wealth isn't stolen without patents. if anything i'm going to have more wealth since i wont be paying monopoly prices for chemical compounds.

Where does the money come from to buy crypto from the people who mine it. Where did the money come from to create the structures that allow the miners to mine. Money from the central bank only flows it the outlook is good or against assets. Increasing Past earnings and assets allow that good outlook. Also how did England become so wealthy? How did we acquire the assets in the first place. Not all from patents of course but ip plays a massive role in where developed countries acquire wealth

pussy

who didn't? But it was a serious answer. I make a wicked Green Dragon and once I have some, I have an uncontrollable desire (my wife can vouch).

Haggis and chips with chilli sauce

I love haggis and chips with boozy peppercorn sauce.

You know them lotus biscuits? they vanish in seconds

Yes ! Top recomm my man ! Get a coconut yoghurt,dip them in
Nah don’t !! Too addictive

Chocolate mother-effing Hobnobs.

Masala fish in naan, with lettuce and onions and a nice chilli mint sauce and a lovely exotic drink like passion fruit to wash it all down.

All the crisps and biscuits.

Haribo tangtastics
Most jelly sweats
Cereal with full cream milk lol

icecream,icecream and some more icecream lol

Xtra large bacon double cheeseburger meal from Burger King thank you please :)

mango. before getting high. during being high. :)

CRUNCHY NUT

Yes, too moreish though, one bowl aint enough, kinda like og kush lol.

I’d probably have to say any type of fast food. For example KFC, Pizza Hut or McDonald’s, etc.

Cheesey balls yuuuummm

Ice lollies, practically any kind.
Fabs are my favourite though.

Depends....sometimes its stuff like Burgers and sometimes its Salads (fruit or normal).

Apple cut into wedges and smothered in peanut butter. Not your healthy 100 % nuts shit that you find in Holland and Barrett, I'm talking Asda home brand 98% sugar ones.

Benzos, don’t judge me. I know the dangers.

Cheesecake for me mate. The mini ones they sell in asda are unreal. Or chocolate trifle. Either way I'm like a pig in shit lol.

This is all very clever and it's easy to make fun of geniuses that are obsessed with a coming AI takeover. But fuck me I am glad Hawking and Musk and whoever else wants to solve this problem before it exists because if it does then we wont exist.

Maciej Ceglowski is a joy to read

piccard beats the new movies but the mandalorian beats piccard.

discovery beats - oh wait star wars doesnt have another live action series

deprecated federation boy

This. Way too many senior moments in episode 7

Star Trek is a rehash, Star Wars is adding great new things to a large, living universe.

Do you mean Jar Jar Binks was a great new thing? No, that was an omen of things to come. As for the new trilogy, somebody must have been put in charge of supplying adult diapers to the original cast members. Probably changed them as well.

jar jar binks would have been awesome in the muppets, this is exactly why you need the right agent folks

jar jar is a bigga, this is like a joint for him

Both franchises are getting as old as mythology, this op ed piece from syfy (yes they have op-ed pieces :) ) hits it on the money for Trek.

Its all about clean breathing equipment.

Have to agree, kirk is my favourite but his last few was hard to defend.

I like both though lately they have both been crap film wise but i would say star wars is better just from their tv series The Mandalorian its a great show and they have some really talented producers cutting their teeth on it,if they can keep up the quality with the new shows they announced coming then the future looks bright for them,Star Trek tv show on the other hand is bollocks and needs to stop dicking around changing canon.

I think they have both been rubbish for a long time. Probably since the 80's. Just milking it.

That still doesn't answer the question, you must choose.

Ok, then. Had to think about it for a while. Going to go with Star Wars.. Final decision was made because someone rammed a Star Destroyer in Rogue One.

Star trek always has always will be.

Star wars

This isn't so unusual in the drug world, no one new how aspirin worked for a century.

True, if the symptoms subsided, then that was the cure back then. The history of Aspirin is interesting, First used 1000s of years ago to relieve pain and has been refined and enhanced since, just like another plant that springs to mind ;-)

Well we know it increases histamine and this makes you alert.

So does speed an coke

I have been taking modafinil and armodafinil for around 6 months and I have been partaking in the canna for around 20 years. I have held of on smoking for the day and took moda in the morning so I have done it without getting elevated.

Moda usually makes me alert and aware and canna lazy as fuck but creative.

I have been eating edibles a lot lately and am currently on a nice dose of medicated peanut butter and 150mg of flmodafinil. It is almost like a war between the two since one is an upper and the other is a downer. I feel very ready to get shit done and creative. But I still get distracted and end up writing stuff like this.

In my opinion I dont think they have any negative effects when combined. They may cancel each other out to an extent but all in all I like the feeling even though I wish I was playing a game instead of working, and maybe had some gummies.

Side note on flmodafinil: I bought this before I ran out of armodafinil as backup after reading it was a lot stronger and most dose at around 50mg. It did not seem to impressive at 50mg, 75mg or 100mg. Today I took 150mg and it was like the first time taking a full armodafinil. Going to get more Armodafinil though as it seems more reliable.

As far as the cannabis goes it sounds like Indica, do you use sativa? It's the opposite of lazy for most people.

I sativa when I can find it. Just seems like most everything is hybrid anymore. Used to grow a few nice sativa strains that I wish I still had.

Interesting, sativa doesn't energize you?

I would not say that it energizes me per se. It is more so like it does not make me lazy like a heavy indica would. I do like sativa strains they just seem like getting a straight sativa or indica is getting harder and harder. There are just so many hybrids out there.

I think it's great if you know your rhythm with both. The cycles are pretty different, especially if you are smoking your cannabis.

I take edible cannabis 3 times a week and moda 3 to 4 times a week. Never really on the same day unless i started it with an early moda and a late afternoon edible then a night out. It seems pretty sustainable, some weeks I go a little more or less on either.

You mean like alternating don't you

He means he's modastoned

This is basically a send up on anything that can be considered a "cognitive enhancer" - except for some reason amphetamines. I wonder who funded this study.

Doesn't matter who funded it, we count an adversarial systems to find truths. I'm a moda user and it makes intuitive sense to me, focus is the antithesis of plasticity.

Sorry, what is brain plasticity?

Its basically the progamability of a brain

Thanks, but I don't see anything here with a "transaxe" link. The vendor gave me the same advice, btw. It's been a couple of years since I dealt with anything on Little Biggy, so don't remember what I did last time. :>(

Welcome back bigga

I was thinking more..

Imagine having to read all those papers moda is perfect for cranking out the shit exactly like this
