The anti🚫-derailment🚃 & thread🧵 hijackingšŸ”« thread🧵 ⁉

I know that this is a pointless meme video, but it still managed to hit close to home… The last 5 years have been absolutely crazy.

Regarding the [previous] vid and the use of the word ā€œpseudo-science,ā€
[Edit: added the word ā€œpreviousā€ because you posted another vid while I was typing.]

I find it weird all the recent hate on Meyers-Briggs typologies as ā€œpseudo-scientific.ā€ What, you mean that fun self-reflection questionnaire we take from websites that have tests like ā€œWhat movie are you,ā€ ā€œWhich superhero are you,ā€ and other amusing personality tests shouldn’t be taken as a rigorously scientific medical diagnosis? Gee. How shocking.

It’s weird calling these things ā€œpseudo-science.ā€ Jung, who promoted the test, explained that while the main body of his work was scientific, he saw no reason that he couldn’t also be curious about non-scientific things. Just don’t take a non-scientific speculation as though it carried scientific weight.

It’s strange to call things ā€œpseudo-scienceā€ that were never understood as science to begin with. How much more so with business self help books. It’s like calling tabloid magazines gossip about celebrities ā€œpseudo-science.ā€ It’s not pseudo-scientific, it’s simply not scientific, period.

  1. When it changed.

Or maybe it was in the summer of '47, and it’s just taken time for anybody but the cyberspace cowboys to notice.

There was a… Time(er)… when I would make a 555 joke here, but I wont.

I hate to admit it, but I have no idea of how to use the three sea shells…

Just upload me already so that I won’t ever have to learn… Being carbon based has some literally shitty downsides…

I should consider making my references such that anyone has any hope of catching them or realising they’re references.

i think reference was the wrong word to use, its not referencing anything other than the existence of blue lobers, so its an analogy haha

Can you confirm your Apex is in P0?

Not P1?

P0 is not a usual/ common location for a Flex?

Could you share a photo?

P0 makes it easy to scan on doors and PC terminals.

There’s a pretty harmonious reason why it’s called a multivibrator…

Totally get that.
P1 Pretty good spot for that too.

It’s an unorthodox location for a Flex, but if it works for you, that’s awesome.

My concern is the stresses it will be under whilst in that location, the term Flex is a misnomer, as it refers to the material used not the Final form of the implant.

Anyway, upto you, I guess this is just to warn you of the possibility of a failure sometime in the future.
I hope Im wrong and it could outlast you

I would suggest though, if you have some important info on it, maybe make a backup.
Its not a bad idea anyway, I have a backup for mine

Thanks for sharing the pictures.

One more question

Are you currently using it on a door? The reason I ask is, in my experience, i haven’t found the ApexFlex to play as nicely with as many RFID locks as other implants with the exception of Tesla.
So if you have found a new lock, i would like to add it to the compatibility matrix.

thanks for sharing

I’m in IT and the most hand stress I get is the occasional trip to the range, although I appreciate the concern. I have a backup card and an Apex Ring conversion at L1 on my right hand.

The doors work with NFC passkeys via domain connector.

NGL, I’ve always loved the Atmel box art. And their adds were great as well, I wish that my electronics magazine collection wasn’t at my parent’s house…

I hope that Microchip didn’t fire the artists and that that we’ll get more cool boxes in the future, But they moved a significant part of their engineering department to India and this makes me think that the management at team red doesn’t like paying salaries. Anyways, a cyborg can dream…
