This is a thought experiment "Ball on a Table" for detecting whether someone has Aphantasia. What do you see when you perform this experiment?
  • But how would someone with aphantasia be able to describe a fictional world well?

    By definition they would need to describe something that they can't visualise

  • Under aphantasia, Wikipedia has a long list of famous people who have or had it.

    How can these guys have aphantasia?

  • I have been watching Star Trek and after going through the original series, the animated series and season 1 of the next generation, i thought i should watch one of the movies!

    I really had to fight my way through the motion picture. The pace was so slow and much of it mostly showed characters staring at something or someone. It was great to see the characters again though even though they had aged more that i had expected.

  • You think Trump would just roll over and accept his party telling him he is unfit? Or even telling him that he is wrong?

  • So one side realizing that their candidate is unfit, and acting on it, is bad. The other side, ignoring it, and continuing as if everything was fine, is good?

  • You might want to keep looking for better friends. Firefox recently got busted tracking users without their consent

    https://noyb.eu/en/firefox-tracks-you-privacy-preserving-feature

    With a recent Firefox update, Mozilla seems to have taken a leaf out of Google’s playbook: without directly telling its users, the company has secretly enabled a so-called “Privacy Preserving Attribution” (PPA) feature. Similar to Google’s (failed) Privacy Sandbox, this turned the browser into a tracking tool for websites.

    Edit: i am not saying that Firefox is bad. I just wouldn't call it a friend, let alone a best friend

    I wanted to reply, to ask if they also have deleted my data, instead of just closing the account. In order to contact them, they will create a new account SMH

There are no cargo holds (that i can see) to loot, there are no enemies and i can not land on it. What is so special with locations like these? What can/should I do here?

    How does the nitrogen cycle “survive” large or even 100% water changes? I don’t want to stir up a discussion about what is best, and I understand that we all live in different places were conditions and water quality is different and also that we all choose to keep our fish differently because we thinks its the best for them. Therefore I am simply looking for an explanation on how the idea of regular huge water changes works in practice.

    I see recommendations of very large water changes in goldfishkeeping, especially in bare button setups and grooming setups. This is very practical, for systems that are heavily stocked. I also see them have filters in them, and this I can’t really understand, unless they are there only for mechanical filtration.

    What stirred up this thought, came from a recent experience where I lost some fish. I had a tub with 10 fry in a tub (90 lit – 20 gal) with fresh tap water (no chlorine or chloramine in our systems here). I added a cycled filter from my main tank. I then added the fry (after acclimatizing them slowly) and I expected this to work well. The fish got a very serious fungal infection within 3-4 days, and I lost most of them.

    My theory of what went wrong is, that the cycled filter did not have access to ammonia and nitrite to maintain the bacteria balance, and therefore crashed. The breeder that I got them from, told me that he changes the water daily, but he had approximately 100 fry in a tub that was the same size, so I assumed that a cycled filter would have not issue with keeping up. I fed them 3-4 times a day but very moderate quantities so I did not expect the system to crash like this

    So my question is, do very large water changes work, if they are not made often? Don’t larger water changes crash or almost crash the filter in systems that reliant on biological filters? In systems that are reliant on biological filtration, is partial water change not better, to maintain a more balanced filtration performance?

    Today, i turned on my Mint pc and it wouldn't let me type in a passpowrd. Even the mouse was not reacting.

    So i rebooted, got a massive text wall that mentioned something about not syncing

    When i rebooted again, it wouldn't start up only a few rotations with the fans and then it restarts and repeats this loop

    I assume that this is a hardware issue but what should i be looking into and how do i make the recovery as smooth as possible?
