question: if we don't challenge our brains, are we using them at 100%?
let's say i watch jersey shore all day long, then go to a club, then come back home and do some pushups.
am i utilizing my brain at 100%?
if i know one language and am capable of learning 8-10, am i using my brain at 100%?
if i can't control my dreams, ie, lucid, am i using my brain at 100%?
if all i do is walk, am i using my body at 100% of what it is capable? so if i am capable of running 22mph, yet, i never surpass 8mph on a slow jog, what percent of my body "am i using"?
if all i do is eat 1 cheese doodle, yet im still hungry, have i used my intestines at 100% of their capability? perhaps, 100% of being empty?
then i think you are correct lbss, if we are only using ~10% of our brains, then we can say we are not using 90% of our brains, which still classifies itself as "using".
so, if you add the 10% use of my brain, to the 90% NOT use of my brain, then I am actually using 100% of my brain.
lbss good point ;f
ok so gizmo got into a crazy fight at the dog park today.. lasted all of 2 seconds before i broke it up.. he got bit on his eyelid, tore a little piece out of it.. so lucky he didnt get fanged in his eye..
as for coding news:
added ^sysvbanner to the bot, and ^char which can invert chars/color codes/etc.. makes for some sick ascii'ing on irc.
then i added a 'fd pass' compoent to my bot..
- the parent now spawns forked children "connectors", which loop trying to connect to a server, sleep for a little upon failure, or if they succeed, the child contacts the parent over a unix domain socket and sends the connected file descriptor as control data, in a sendmsg() call
- then the parent recvmsg's() that descriptor, and re-links it into the bot_t structure, adding the fd/event to libevent dispatch loop, and all is good.
i spent 2 hours debugging something that turned out to be so damn simple... totally retarded... this happened before.. i spent time modifying the core code of the bot, then kept running it, and it kept crashing.. but that's because i forgot to recompile the modules, derp.. when i modify the main bot_t struct, the modules depend on it, and if they are already compiled, then their structures are off, missing or having too many bytes etc.. so pointers get mangled and it crashed.
in other news, my neighbor actually shot himself, suicide.. it's crazy, trying to think of why he would do that when from all accounts he seemed like a decently happy guy.. just got married ~1 year ago.. had kids, and step kids he raised.. was big into boxing,we always talked boxing.. had dogs, he'd walk all the time..
so then somehow he goes from a seemingly decent life, to shooting himself in the house while his wife and her brother were there.. mind-cannot-comprehend..
perhaps i could comprehend it if i used more than 10% of my brain.
peace
