Breakthrough in recovery by eageradolescentboyin Drugs

[–]insomnolent 0 points1 point ago

I know a good deal about most drugs even though my personal experience is mostly with psychedelics. A lot of my knowledge actually comes from grad school (pharmacology).

That's like going to /r/gaming and assuming everyone there plays professionally.

Please take 5 minutes to fill out my dissertation survey about Investigating gym populations. thanks Reddit! by puurboiin Fitness

[–]insomnolent 0 points1 point ago

Don't wait, start NOW. You don't have to join a gym to start working out. Do pushups, go for a run, just get up and get moving!

When you see a flickering dim blue glow in a window, you know someone's watching TV in the dark. But it's ALWAYS bluish, even though the TV shows certainly are not. Why? by bobcatin askscience

Sounds like they're equivalent programs, but redshift works better than f.lux on linux systems.

From the guy's site:

"I have been using f.lux for some time now and it is a really nice tool. It adjusts the color temperature of the screen at night to a more reddish tone which greatly reduces the strain on the eyes. It takes a while to get used to the red tint but now there is no going back.

When I learned that there is a version for linux (xflux) I had to get that for my Ubuntu laptop. I was quite disappointed, however, when I discovered that not only does it not feature a sleek GUI like the windows version, it also simply does not work at all on my laptop. f.lux throws this message at me: “Sorry, we only support 24/32-bit displays right now” which must be a bug because I am running in 24-bit mode with the open source radeon driver.

Other features that are present in the windows version seem to be missing as well in xflux, like setting the daytime temperature. Ultimately I decided to code my own tool to adjust the color temperature. The result is an open source program called Redshift."

One of my old roommates had a pair. They're good headphones, but nowhere near other gear in their price range.

I assume you're joking, but seriously, don't do that to your kids.

PlayStation 4 is "Essentially a PC" in Terms of Tech by SolInvictusin Games

Runs great on medium.

High is definitely playable but the frame rate is noticeably worse.

Ultra is looks like a gorgeous painting. It plays like one too.

Overhauled my computer just a few days ago and decided to keep using my old 8800 GT until the next price drop on video cards - turns out I don't even need a new card. At 1600x900 it runs Skyrim, BF3, and Deux Ex with graphics near maximum (the only thing I don't max is AA which I keep at 4). I'll be testing The Witcher 2 in a bit as well (though this is where I expect to take a hit from using an older card).

Whats the silliest fight you've ever been in? by OBLIVIOUS2EVERYTHINGin AskReddit

[–]insomnolent 2 points3 points ago

Hobbies are about sentimental value, not monetary.

That said, burning someone's paintings is probably a better comparison.

What can I expect from a 6870? by Halo6819in gamingpc

[–]insomnolent 0 points1 point ago*

6950 2GB is $50 more than a 6870 2GB and $80 more if you bump it up to the 850MHz.

Men of Reddit, what is something that scares the shit out of you? by theknightwhosays_neein AskReddit

[–]insomnolent 8 points9 points ago

I'm pretty liberal but I come from a very conservative family.

Obviously I can't speak for every voter, but at least from what I've seen it's not an issue of having to reconcile past/ongoing misdeeds, it's that they simply don't know, and don't want to know.

They hear that he's conservative and extremely religious and that's all they care about.
