I'm a native english speaker but don't really have a marine background. I also read it as the father/son somehow going overboard.

It's written by the Garmin PR team - their headlines are as intuitive as their device UIs! This article is much better: https://www.readersdigest.co.uk/inspire/life/how-a-fisherman…

Anecdotally, people are much more likely to have violent episodes when using alcohol than psychedelics. I'd be surprised if relevant scientific studies didn't support these observa…

> Personally, I’d rather be surrounded by a group of alcohol abusers than a group of psychedelics abusers. Can you elaborate a bit on this take? We've all seen how far people abusi…

San Francisco's budget for homelessness is over 500 million per year. If that isn't enough money to address the problem in one city we clearly need radically different solutions.

I feel it's destructive for people to hold this incorrect belief. People living into their 60s and 70s was very common for all of recorded history. By ignoring this, modern people …

HOTD is so refreshing after the disappointing final seasons of GoT. I didn't have high expectations for it but it's been some of the best television I've seen years.

When I search "sodium nitrite pure" on Amazon the first page of results all are sodium nitrate . For the actual "nitrite" listings, my points stands. There are no weird recommendat…

Looking at listings for pure sodium nitrate, I don't see any of the "frequently bought together" suicide kit items they mention. When I search for "suicide" there's a "Suicide and …

The lawyer's thread is wrong. Sodium nitrate is used in aquariums. I've purchased similar lab-grade chemicals for use in mine.

I think it's totally fine for Amazon to sell lab-grade chemicals regardless of whether there's a common household use for them. I've personally bought chemicals like this for use i…
