/cyb/ - Cyberpunk Fiction and Fact

Environments are so messy in Cowboy Bebop and I think it's interesting that old people react to it with "omg this world feels so organic and lived in and natural" while younger people react with "jesus christ doesnt anyone clean in this universe? Why is everyone a fucking junkie? Christ some kid's playing the harmonica in a smoking room".

I get why small viruses aren't considered life but I just don't understand why giant viruses are considered nonliving while intracellular oblobigate bacteria like rickettsia are considered to be alive.

>>2157
It's not really a question of size, but functionality. Viruses have no capability to reproduce on their own, and no biologica funtions other than to stick to and infect host cells. They technically can't even move on their own. They don't move, breed, eat, breath or fuck: they're better described as objects than living things; plausibly the vestige of some bygone cell-signalling method gone horribly wrong.

>>2158
>Viruses have no capability to reproduce on their own, and no biologica funtions other than to stick to and infect host cells.
This is is also true of intracellular obligate bacteria.

yeah, I'm gonna need a source on that because that sounds pretty fake and gay.

>>2399
>that sounds pretty fake and gay
The proof is evident and pretty straightforward. Everything that manifest into the physical realm has an associated waveform, a crude example of that is the intrinsic resonance of all matter.
Physics and Magick 101.

>>2400
Associated waveform of what? What is creating the wave? What is the frequency of this wave? What is happening enough to show a frequency at all?

You're not using words that are commonly defined, you're using words from Deepak Chopra and getting smug that we don't understand your gobbledygook.

The above gives you a glimpse on the mundane scale, the Earth has its own frequency at macro scale, and going to the micro scale we enter into the electric semiconductors' realm where funny things begin to happen. Suffice to say that if demonic activity can be felt, then that presence must be accompanied by a resonance, also the inverse might be valid.

>Everything that's a wave is spiritual.
In the days of the birth of the internet a group of people did an experiment to banish any demons (paranormal/spiritual beings) from hardware/software. Things crashed and the connection cut before the planet wide banishment occurred fully.
There is correlation of spiritual matters and material matters that's been known for ages.
>>2402
>Waves can do cool stuff.
Like matter and waveforms, beings that are spiritual do also exhibit those qualities barring the stranger ones but those ones aren't a concern right now.
What can be tested is physical effects of stuff made of matter behaving differently when compared to matter that has such beings and when compared to matter in a zone designed to block such beings.
A huge issue is accounting for all the variables and errors.
There's much more than just String Theory but also Spiritual.

>>2405
To clarify pinning everything as demons (or anything spiritual) be physical waveforms is a stretch without any evidence.
What is known is that the physical and genuinely spiritual do interact.

>>2406
>is a stretch without any evidence
Sure, I agree. That said, intuition and telepathy lack evidence too, and yet we feel and even use them everyday.

>>2407
Intuition is just pattern recognition passed down between generations.

Intuition doesn't depend on the senses, and can alert on something happening remotely. Some people have it, some don't.

I think the point is to create coherent messages from neural networks. It's pretty groundbreaking for the future of cybernetics and/or other computation.

To be fair, in 1983 there wasn’t really a dedicated market for gaming PCs. Early personal computers were like early cell phones, in that most people who bought them were either professionals who needed them for some legitimate business reason, or else rich consoomers who just wanted to own the latest gadget. Games for PCs existed but they were super primitive and mostly text based. Video game culture was still mainly in the arcades. I think home consoles also started appearing at this time. Either way, only serious geeks owned home computers for gaming, and most gamers were also programmers. The Commodore 64 was the most popular rig for this type of hobbyist, and that was much more reasonably priced.

>>2851
>They're starting small businesses and entrepreneurship at a rate not seen in decades.
Sure, with a capital not of their own. See? Zoomers have it too cushy too begin with, that said, their prospects too make their business work is bleak, the market is not as it was. This is a service economy and not a one for producing goods any longer. So, yes, in this market zoomers are heading for utter economic failure.

That's not even close to true. Venture capital has all but dried up for this generation. Boomers screwed the economy and millennials spent the rest on avocado toast.

Zoomers have only been working full time for a couple years at most. They didn't make the economy what it is.

You can thank millennials and gen x for that, after the boomers screwed them.

Oh don't give me that. Boomers were the hippie generation and made weed popular; same goes for every gen until the turn of the millennium. Gen Z has the least weed of any generation, because they've lived their entire lives while weed was legal.

Moral relaxation that boomers caused with their sexual revolution and destruction of the family unit, followed by waves of multiculturalism.

>It's boomers who consume all of the T-boosting meds
I wouldn't step on the pharmaceutical field for an answer, but the indoctrinational one instead. Zoomers have been under communist brainwashing for many years and the intensity is increasing. There is a correlation with the manifested judaism in a given society and the rate of moral disintegration.

>>2866
That has nothing to do with hormone levels.
>Zoomers have been under communist brainwashing for many years
That the last three generations enabled and perpetuated.
Zoomers are the generation that is forced to deal with the final consequences of the world that boomers created.
>There is a correlation with the manifested judaism
I will once again cite how boomers worship Israel.

Lead paint.
Interesting….could this be correct?

>>2871
Unlikely. A thin coating of lead paint isn't going to block anything. It's not solid lead, just particles of it. The lead shields they use for X rays and radiation therapy are solid pieces of lead, not paint. The "certain frequencies can't penetrate" thing seems like total BS too, since he doesn't cite whatever frequencies are blocked by paint.
EM waves would also still penetrate through the windows and other parts of houses. You would need a thick dome of lead to completely protect your house from EM waves.
Lead is actually very, very poisonous, and you don't want even a little bit of it inside of you because it causes severe brain damage. It was marketed heavily to be put into things unnecessarily because it was a byproduct in the production of silver, and the silver refiners needed to find a way to get rid of and profit from it. It nearly rendered an entire generation of people retarded.

It's just stupid clickbait tier bullshit.

>>2874
>A thin coating of lead paint isn't going to block anything. It's not solid lead, just particles of it.
I heard that microwave antennas can be blocked with silver paint which contain aluminum particles. At least the low power ones

>>2875
That's not the kind of paint that was used in houses.
Also, that's just microwaves.
What frequencies are actually blocked by houses with lead paint?

>>2876
>That's not the kind of paint that was used in houses.
Correct. But the principle is the same. Metallic particles blocking or at least degrading the signal. I guess that an experiment might be done surrounding a router with a cardboard painted with silver paint.

>>2877
>But the principle is the same
It's not really. Just because one kind of wave is blocked by another paint in a different context does not mean that lead paint blocks anything in any notable capacity. Silver is not lead, and the amount of metal in it isn't the same.
Lead paint was removed because rendering the taxpaying population retarded was hurting productivity, and to this day a lot of old lead paint and pipes still remain, and kids raised in those conditions are still being gimped because its not convenient for the government to do anything to stop it.
>surrounding a router with a cardboard painted with silver paint.
Messing with a routers would be the same as shielding an entire house. You would need to get the type of device that the elites supposedly want penetrating the building, build two identical houses (one with lead paint, one without), and tap both of the houses with the device and see if the lead paint has any meaningful impact.

>>2878
>would
*would not

>>2871
You know they sell metal tape. As in strips of metal with sticky stuff you can by and cover a very sizable room making a faraday cage relatively cheaply.
Did you know you can just buy powdered metals.
Or now metal artwork that is metal and wouldn't draw any attention?
You can buy loads of lead is various forms. It's soft and pliable, easy to fix components attaching wires ect. Going into the air.
Like most things it also degrades.
Microwave ovens arn't made of lead.
So while the point of removing lead from paint is the safety hazard because of deteriorating mental stability.
And it's after the wave of lead boosted gas, which I might add did increase efficiency by a large margin, that scared a nation of being poisoned by wide spread 'accepted' things.
Asbestos, radiation ect ect.

Just get tons of scrap metal. Or live in a cargo crate, those are options too.
There's rebar and metal walk ways are surprisingly affordable. It could cost as much as needed for peace of mind.

WOW. Did you read all that in less than 45 seconds?

>>2883
No, I've just heard of this stuff before, and I know it's not made of lead.
The lead paint that was taken out of circulation isn't sufficient as shielding paint.

>>2884
>The lead paint that was taken out of circulation isn't sufficient as shielding paint.
I'm sure of that, but it degrades the signal for sure.

>>2880
Faraday Cages require specific materials and angle-of-approach calculations in order to determine which wavelengths can be protected against. For a single room to be entirely shielded you would need an external layer of high carbon (stainless) steel, then extruded aluminum, 99% copper, >95% lead, and an internal layer of low carbon steel sheeting, all of at least 1/20" thickness that completely encloses the walls and ceiling with no gaps.

Would be much more efficient to create a small, selective 'safe' of sorts to shield specific devices.. unless you need a neutron-protected bunker.

>>2885
>but it degrades the signal for sure
... No?
Where did you hear that it degrades the signal? By what margin does it do that?

>>2887
>Where did you hear that it degrades the signal? By what margin does it do that?
Would you mind to do a quick research? Perhaps starting with >>2881 ?

>>2885
Lead paint only contains a tiny amount of lead for color, and doesn't provide any kind of shielding or degrade the signal.
Heck, the wood/brick wall would degrade the signal more than the traces of lead in the paint.
>>2888
That's not lead paint. That's specially made shielding paint with large amounts of shielding materials in it.

>>2889
>That's specially made shielding paint with large amounts of shielding materials in it
Aha! And the shielding materials are...?

>>2891
Not lead, as per the article.
You need to have a high density of material for shielding materials to do anything at all. Tiny traces of lead do nothing.

>>2892
>You need to have a high density of material for shielding
Would you mind to list them then?

>>2893
They're in the same article you posted, ffs.

>>2894
MFW a retarded tries to look smart.

>>2895
Lmao. Now you're just projecting.
You've been saying that poisonous lead was taken off the market just because it could potentially distort certain EMF waves (it can't,; it doesn't have enough lead), when all the non-toxic shielding paints are still on the market.

>>2893
Most EMF paints are made with graphene/graphite as their blocking material.

>>2896
>You've been saying that poisonous lead was taken off the market just because it could potentially distort certain EMF waves
1- Lead being poisonous is still for debate
2- There is a reason antenna's protections are made with fiber glass and not painted polymers.

>>2897
>Most EMF paints are made with graphene/graphite as their blocking material
It might, but I doubt that is the main active component because is way too expensive.

>>2898
>1- Lead being poisonous is still for debate
How? Who is it that contests that lead is poisonous?
Is that what you're saying?
>2- There is a reason antenna's protections are made with fiber glass and not painted polymers.
What's that have to do with lear paint?

>>2900
>What's that have to do with lear paint?
Not exclusively with lead paint, but with many paints containing metals.

>>2899
EMF paint is expensive.
And yes, it is the main blocking ingredient. Look at the article posted above.

>>2902
Dude, as a analogy you can understand. A pharmaceutical pill weights perhaps 0,1 gram, but the active drugs is not more than 0,001 gram.

>>2901
Other non-toxic metals haven't been removed from paint, so that's a moot point.
And lead paint doesn't have enough lead paint to block signals.

Want to test it? Acquire some 1970s lead paint (not hard if you know where to look) and cover a router with a cardboard box painted with it: see absolutely no difference.

>>2903
Drug terminology does not apply to paint.

>>2904
>>2905
Okay. You are right.

>>2906
I guess that's that then.

Idk if I can convince you that lead will fuck you up, but it really is toxic, and I pray for your children if you raise them in a house with it. Don't fall for stupid ticktock memes telling you to paint your house with it. If you want to block EMF waves, get EMF paint.

>>2922

>>2923
>What counts as "zog sources" then?
Are you even an anon?
