ChatGPT is bullshit
Actually, references should ALWAYS be quoted. It's a no different requirement for LLM's or a theoretical proper AI than a human researcher. Evidence, evidence, evidence.

The Brave browser version puts the references at the bottom, like Wiki.

Just looked at AdGuard for Mac. It uses the same filter lists as uBlock Origin that I use.

Iron in City Water Supply
The Florida limit is 300micrograms, not milligrams. https://www.floridahealth.gov/environmental-health/drinking-water/_documents/iron-fs.pdf Is it well water? In a glass, does the colour settle as particles or remain uniform throughout the water? If it settles it is Ferric iron and the soluble form is ferrous.

help me experiment to establish curvature
Just observe a ship going out to sea. You will see the lower part of the ship disappear first, then, the mast or chimney. It is the reverse of this sequence if they coming in from your horizon. It is as though they are going over a very round hill or mound.

Is it illegal to use certain drugs to remove memories?
Change your behaviour and thinking in a consistent way, you will eventually hardwire your mind to the new pattern. Nerves that engage in cognition and behaviour are highly plastic in their formative patterns and can form new permanent pathways if a stimulus is consistently applied over time. That's how we learn and remember things.

RICHARD DAWKINS ❤ CANCEL CULTURE (or not)
Yes, but also illusory or insubstantial.

RICHARD DAWKINS ❤ CANCEL CULTURE (or not)
I don't think it's any different to saying 'anti-Muslim'' or anti-Christian'. If you look over a couple of millennia, the statistical odds of finding periods of focused, systemic persecution for any specific group are pretty good. It's much easier to find data to support a historical narrative if the timespan is long enough. Deliberate cognitive bias on the part of pro-Zionist historians, methinks. Edited to add: If I focused your attention on only the periods I was persecuted, omitting intervening periods of calm, I can make it appear that I have been continuously persecuted. This is the mirage they have managed to communicate, and very effectively.

Ka-Ching! Few can resist it, especially politicians who need funding.... by the likes of AIPAC, as an example.

RICHARD DAWKINS ❤ CANCEL CULTURE (or not)
Difficult because they had already inextricably embedded themselves into the UK/US corridors of power in the 50 to 60 years before the 1948 extermination of the non-compliant residents of Palestine. Prominent non-Zionist Jews that resisted were assassinated on the way as well prior to that day.

RICHARD DAWKINS ❤ CANCEL CULTURE (or not)
Anti-Semitism, as a concept, was invented by Zionists around the late 19th century. Prior to that, native Palestinians, which includes Jews and other denominations, got on just fine as a collective. It was necessary for the Zionist-aspirants to create ethnic/religious conflicts in order to achieve their mono-cultural, exclusionary, fascist goals.

Curious device
Some are, some aren't. I suppose the alloy mix changes periodically with new editions. The bimetallic ones are fairly weakly attracted. Generally, the coppers that attract are very hard to pull off. It It might be a security feature by the Royal Mint to mix up each yearly edition in terms of magnetism to combat counterfeits. I doubt the bimetallics could be pulled in from a water as it's too weak. There may be magnetic 50p's, but not in my change

LOL! It's interesting how much low value coinage gets thrown into lakes. I suppose people are seeing how many skips they can get a coin to do across the surface.

Yep, they are very strong. I bought one for magnetic fishing. When attracted to something they slam HARD!

Perhaps experiment with different colour backgrounds in your visual field when you need relief. It doesn't solve the problem but might give you a rest to look at if you can find a background colour that seems to attenuate the effect. If I look up at a blue sky, I see all sorts but mainly faint capillaries interrupting my vision. Some people call them 'worms'.

Experience: Wig?
I suggest shaving your head to stubble or bare and then letting it grow to a point that feels ok to you. Once you've found a length you can live with, maintain it at that and accept this is the new 'you'. You may feel your present hair pattern is an elephant of a problem, but it's just your mind hyperfocusing on it and making it the only thing that matters. Trying to fix it with wigs and combovers will just savage your confidence in the long run. Yul Brynner and Telly Savalas seem to have had a happy life without hair on their heads. Although I still have hair, I go Kojak quite often. It's an alternate look, not a worse one.
