not going outside much, mainly cus cant drive/middle of nowhere though

its been rainy for most of the past week though, so its been a lil lighter - still pain though

be safe w the heat worms

hehe

gon be trying to decide an edible from dispensary to get mom to not take a bunch of other stuff for sleep

mostly related to price per dose n such

shed planned on getting like $45 CBD gummies from the smoke shop and I was like oh no pls
cus its gon be more effective to get even like 1:4 or 1:2 cbd THC edibles/pills etc than that stuff, and they're like 20 or less USD due to the market slowing

yeah its bad in most places

its still illegal in a lot of states here

but we got it after err
sort of a mix of the medical programs existing and making ppl less scared, the amount of people in prison for decades for selling weed, and the finance bros wanting a new market to pump since they could earn a lot from it (though, now they've had it fall a ton and prices have like halved and are finally okay mostly)

UK or smth though ?

ah yeah its bad

sigh

but just wish there was a route for people to get it, in particular for medical reasons, in most places
the harm potential vs the aid it can give for a lot of conditions makes it yk

hehe

yeh
I haven't gotten into them but its become a big thing well

for example
some baseball stadiums and such banned the sale of alcohol and sell weed/THC drinks instead which is kinda funny (to stop the fights)

wha

everything is 21 here but over there isn't it like 13-16 in most places for alc at least

was thinking of Poland but I'm forgetting

lel

yea
it gets rough

the UK has had a lot of that problem but also drinking is such a normalized part of the culture that its its own thing

lelol

#ai what is the polish drinking age

in poland, the legal drinking age is 18 for beer, wine, and spirits. no exceptions, cops there don’t play around. stay safe. what is the polish drinking age

ah okej

I think that, with parent permission (or mb in private req too in some places) you can drink at like 13 or 15 but generally that's rarely used tho kids and teens do often get alc

just looked at a map of current age restrictions and ig that like all of Europe/UK etc turned to 18 generally

at least

except maybe I'm seeing cities in like Germany mb that have different ones

I did some gah stuff to get access to alc during lockdown ish era before of age, only during a bit of that time but I don't rly drink generally

the few legal things all ages can buy w higher percentages
do not be a dumdum like that worms

I find it rly gah the amount of stuff that people just memory holed and let us have the issues we deal with now but
I happened to be living home bound/lockdown isolation situation for 2 yrs prior n would make jokes about that early on

hmmm

yeah

I'm trying to find some kind of good map

I'll do this for now despite me hating it

#smartai what is the current drinking age and restrictions for EU countries, the UK, Ireland, and other countries in the region

The legal drinking age and alcohol-related restrictions vary across the European Union (EU), the United Kingdom, Ireland, and neighboring countries. Below is a detailed breakdown of current regulations:

### **European Union (EU) Countries**
Alcohol laws in EU member states are determined nationally rather than at the EU level. Here’s an overview:

#### **Legal Drinking Age for Purchasing & Consumption**
- **18 Years Old**: Most common standard in Europe; applies in:
- Austria (beer/wine from 16 if accompanied by guardian)
- Belgium (spirits at 18; beer/wine allowed earlier with parental consent)
- Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic (*de jure* purchase age is 18 but enforcement varies), Denmark (*de facto* no strict enforcement under supervision), Estonia, Finland (**20 for spirits over 22% ABV**, otherwise 18).
- **16–17 Years Old**: Some exceptions allow minors to consume under supervision. Examples include:
- Germany (**14+ if supervised by parents**) – Beer/wine legally purchasable at **16**, spirits at **18**.
- Italy – No minimum consumption age but sale prohibited below **16** without parent/guardian approval.
- Luxembourg – Purchase permitted from *16* for beer/wine/cider; *18* for spirits.
- Netherlands – Legal drinking/purchase age raised to *18* since January 2014 (previously *16*) due to public health concerns.

#### Key Restrictions:
- Many nations prohibit serving visibly intoxicated individuals.
- Public intoxication penalties exist but rarely enforced strictly unless disorderly conduct occurs.
- Nordic nations impose heavy taxes on high-alcohol beverages.

---

### **United Kingdom & Ireland**
#### England/Wales/Northern Ireland
- Minimum legal purchase/consumption ages:
1. Pubs/bars/shops → ***18***
2. Private premises *(e.g., home)* → No set law against minor consumption with parental permission **(but retail sales remain illegal)**.
3.Scotland introduced stricter measures via its Licensing Act *(2005)*—making it unlawful even privately unless explicitly approved by guardians.

##### Additional UK-Specific Rules:
1.Supermarkets may require ID checks under "Challenge 25" policies despite lower thresholds elsewhere like Portugal or Spain where lax attitudes prevail toward adolescent drinking culture historically speaking...

2.Ireland maintains similar statutes wherein acquiring liquor requires being above eighteen years old however cultural norms often lead towards leniency especially rural areas compared urban centers Dublin Cork etcetera...

---

## Non-EU Regional Variations Include But Aren't Limited To…
| Country | Drinking/Purchase Age | Notes |
|----------------|------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Norway | Beer/Wine @ *18*, Spirits @_20_ | State-run Vinmonopolet monopolizes all >4% ABV sales |
Switzerland Universal _sixteen_(wines beers)/eighteen(hard liquors)| Cantonal differences possible though federal baseline exists… |

In summary while uniformity doesn’t fully characterize this domain general trends indicate majority adopt either sixteen or more commonly eighteen as their threshold supplemented sometimes additional constraints targeting specific beverage types strengths alongside location-based nuances shaping actual practice versus theoretical legality alone... what is the current drinking age and restrictions for EU countries, the UK, Ireland, and other countries in the region

I hab a pic for u I found if wan see

#ai have any effective treatments been found for visual snow

current treatments for visual snow syndrome are limited and mostly experimental. some people report temporary relief with medications like lamotrigine, acetazolamide, or triptans, but results vary. non-drug approaches like tinted lenses or biofeedback might help manage symptoms for some. research is ongoing, but there’s no definitive cure yet. best to consult a neuro-ophthalmologist for personalized options. have any effective treatments been found for visual snow

shreeeiiieeemp

:V

awwww

wish I had

but

after I broke this Chromebook out of the old sysadmin/network, I forget the word beyond the managers of all of them

they gave me 1 yr of google 1 and other stuff thinking I bought a new chromebook

I have like 2 other not yet to be broken out ones that could perhap give me another 2

but nicu
some of those services just give you a bunch

yeh

I made a sorta throwaway/whatever acc to let laen use the other night

tried to use a fresh Amazon acc for smth but it turns out this book on the lizard squad kid who hacked the therapy provider in Finland is only available on Amazon.co.uk for some reason

which part ? glegle or the vms?

Google acc

ahhhh I wasnt aware unless
did u set it up like over a week ago ? or are chu both running different vps stuffs atm

but nicu

yeh I wasn't sure cus I was sent one vps and it was a while ago so didn't know or not - <- but oh the MC?

yea

ye its kinda a

hehe

gah what's it called hemm

I was gonna setup a home lab VM server but put it off cus need a lot of disk and disk shelf before that stuffs - though I hope w ur stuff ts been fun n good way to learn even if just a uh google corporate thing that can be gah sometimes

yeah

teehee

I think you can also get a lot of stuff from amazons services if ever in need of it

ehe

I need to start doing the hours n the things chu do as well ATM and use some of that saved for a system, put stuff probably in a junk/cheap big black tower cooler master case or one of the triangular Alienware things cus they're so cheap on FB and stuff

n then use that as a base w the disk shelf n stuff, maybe also could put gpu in it and oh

err

yeah I forget but I think there's LLM stuff specifically non gpu related but it a different thing and I avoid using them for much, n particularly any game stuff, so not the most aware bwa
but for

well llms I'm unsure

pat can be interesting
n the different ways its done besides the everything must scale side of things

and if able to get a particular use that works for stuffs ur working on thastable

yeh, having it how it is now is not gud and if you have very particular use cases or can fit it in, in a way that isn't just to do it, then it can help speed things up or find things like err

a lot of stuff related to pharmacology and such has been using this kinda thing w various MIT FOSS tools and all the private pharma company ones
to be able to generate methods for synthesizing a substance and creating novel ones that haven't been discovered before

you could use it to add things to it w further err

like deeper information and such for the artworks and interactions if wanted, or add some kind of layer that creates a sort of text adventure layer to be able to further interact w I bwa

yeh

I feel like there was a mention of one of worms or opworm or smth doing a MUD thing

yeh just preferably, if ever making it, using a local one that isn't as heavy or uses a lighter way of running it w whatever it maybe, to just be able to not have to cause well

add to the problem and be able to just have it run w/o other extra issues, and this is already kinda err

its a different purpose or reason but is kinda how frame gen is being used

it can improve things but also be really rough or not exactly possible to make it get beyond rough edges unless doing a lot a lot of work on it but I gah
very ded rn I need to do stuffs today I bwa

moms leaving out of state for a memorial n gonna, I think, mostly have place to self for a few at least

more like try n lock into doing stuff that I usually get pulled away from otherwise - once I get err
deal with the dread holding bacc from checking in, being able to reach someone I was introduced to who was around the hacktivism scenes I was a few yrs ago and maybe able to get access to tooling again

n also gotta try n reach old frens bwa

hope ur weekend can be chill when it comes - u-

yeh err

idk if ever spoke about the thing that sorta
concluded a week or two ish ago but a uhh

if have seen my one website I've shared a few times, person I uncovered a ton of stuff on n did [redacted] to me got sentenced to 9+ yrs in prison

and uhh
gotta reach out to the people who helped me document all of it, as we waited 5 yrs and nothing happened till I suddenly found something had

is understandable for most peeps not, n also got a lot ur working on rn too - <-

I was gonna host over there due to uh

well

nu in ukraine

my stuff can be errr

sensitive and am unsure of the US will eventually decide to go after stuff if it's documenting their abuses when I start covering that stuff fully
and yea

I knew peeps who could host out there
but generally Ukraine has some of the safety unless ur doing ransomware or such that has the cops wanting to film busts
