There is a Yugo parked near a brewery in Queens NYC that always blows my mind. It's still in decent shape for its age and must be driven regularly as it's always in a different parking spot.
The weight limits are for public roads. Private logging roads can run whatever they want and Canada had(have?) some impressive rigs routinely hauling 100+ tons. Just do an image search for Hayes/Pacific logging truck.
I am not a psychonaught, only started tripping more recently, and I have only used mushrooms. That being said, I was always anxious about using them as I was very freaked out by the idea of something that can alter your mind instead of merely becoming intoxicated like weed or alcohol. I thought it makes you into antoher person and loose control but that is bullshit - you are fully aware. After my first go I have no fear of them.
The feeling is fantastic, nothing like weed or booze. You feel relaxed and warm in the sense that you want to be around people and talk to people. Like it fills you with love for humanity (I wanted to call my mother and tell her I loved her and so on.) BUT it makes you hyper aware of emotions so be sure your environment is relaxed if you're inexperienced. As you come down you will then start to wrestle with your own buried emotions which can really be a roller coaster. However, as long as the environment is relaxed you will feel safe and be able to handle them.
The trick is go slow for your first time, take a little and see how you feel as it take 30-45 min to kick in (for me 45 min like clock work almost.) Make sure you are in a good mental state. Had a bad week or something really bothering you? Not a good state. Don't trip. Make sure the environment feels safe and relaxed.
You wont encounter that type of change with mushrooms at a conventional dose. Normally when people talk about the change in neural structures etc, this comes from higher order psychedelics, or sometimes lower order psychedelics at heroic dosages. Think of it like electroshock therapy in the sense that enduring this large eustress, change is made.
I merely responded to someone who appears to have a fear of taking them because of the effects and shared my experience. Don't understand the downvotes.

Inferno is both register based and highly portable using the same tool chain as Plan 9 which runs seamlessly across multiple architectures. This eventually evolved into the Go tooling as Rob Pike came up with the Plan 9 design and worked on it with Ken Thompson. https://seh.dev/go-legacy/
Unfortunately Inferno was never fully completed and bit-rotted a bit but it still builds on systems with 32 bit support. There are various forks and even an attempted 64 bit version. To me its a great design as it not only runs on bare metal but also has a hosted option so it runs under Plan 9, Windows, MacOS/Unix/BSD/Linux. Talk about a portable OS...
To be clear, Inferno is the operating system. The virtual machine is Dis. There exist a few examples[1] of 64-bit Dis, but usually the problem people run into is making the Limbo[2] compiler spit out 64-bit code.
It's rather unfortunate, Inferno is a really nice system with a lot of interesting reference stuff implemented like a typed shell[3]. It's also Plan 9 in a box with all the accoutrements, and knowers will have jumped out of their seat at the implication. I can't understate how cool the Inferno system is.
I dunno what happened to the 64bit port, the author just up and deleted it with no reason given AFIK. Thankfully someone had a recent clone and uploaded it to the archive.
Limbo is incomplete, forget what exactly but a few people on the 9fans discord recently ran into issues. Always remember, Inferno was forced onto the Labs people by Lucent in an attempt to compete with Sun's Java and built in a year. Bell Labs did not do marketing and Lucent fumbled the whole thing.
Plan 9 in a box is only useful if you MUST use a foreign host like Linux. Otherwise I would much prefer the machine actually run Plan 9.
I Was talking to a friend about Final Fantasy the other night and he bought up a good point: Chocobo breeding was the precursor to Pokemon breeding. FF7 development started in 1994 and was released in 1997, a year before Pokemon which started as a trading card game in 1996. Not sure if that is significant but its very similar.
Just please stop with the fluffy squishy feel good human nonsense. This is about a corporate team who recklessly flipped the switch of an AI that went through and trashed articles curated by another team.
> That's what communication is about.
And its plainly obvious the intent was NEVER communicated. The Japanese team had no idea their hard work was going to be overwritten by a computer.
