Thanks for being skeptical, looked it up because of that. Looks like the primary study people cite is this one, which indicates around 65% of people filing for bankruptcy cite a me…

The person you replied to specifically listed multiple studies that do account for socioeconomic factors. Take a look at the second paper, and in the introduction you’ll see that t…

Brilliant write up, glad you made the effort. Trying to understand better where the JWT vulnerability was here, you said: “So you could log in with my username and password, grab t…

I mean, as someone who's played drums from a very young age (30+ years now), I disagree with that description of how playing drums works. I went ahead and looked up that phrase, an…

Hemochromatosis is one, I was suspected to have it when I was younger and regular blood donations was an effective way to reduce my blood iron. Turns out I don't actually have the …
