Going from an 80% to a 90% failure rate means the success rate halved; that's a pretty big change in my book.

Doctors are people

Not having heard of this plant before, I was rather confused why people would leave so much footwear on this trail.

That sounds great! Maybe not so great for the occasional person sentenced to death for selling weed, but that's just the price of freedom.

I could not give less of a shit about counterfeit goods, but of course for safety there understandably are rules and those rules should be enforced. In general, though, Aliexpress …

Confused readers may note that EGS refers, I think, to the Epic Games Store, and not to EroGameScape (which does not run a marketplace)

Human refrigerator as in a machine that refrigerates humans, not a human that refrigerates things, as I had erroneously assumed.

If you help fund the research team, I'll contribute the $5 wrench, and we can split the the profits

Another example: my partner is left-handed, I am right-handed. We dabble in instruments together; we have a right-handed bass guitar, and an electronic drum kit we set up in a trad…

The article searches hard for an evolutionary explanation for why right-handedness specifically would be favored, but I think it suffices to find a reason for most people to have t…

I think "act like it's ridiculous" is pretty hyperbolic here. I didn't know what ARIA stood for until now (though I knew what it was). You'd be surprised how many people barely kno…

My partner has a first name like XXXdr, which an airline at some point turned into "Dr. XXX".

It's illegal to have navigation in your vehicle tell you there's a camera coming up in France, enforced and punished by high fines (I moved here from NL which has no such law).

I can check again when I get home but I'm fairly sure I didn't enable that when it prompted me for interests when signing up.

"just like the bad-thing-doers of old, today's bad-thing-doers believe what they're doing is actually good" is a keen insight in itself when broadly applied, but useless for distin…

And how does that experience shape your views on the uncritical adoption of AI technologies?

How does this square with the fact that we have solid evidence of water on Mars as well?

I imagine myself switching over to that pretty quickly if I do stick with the platform (I also use YouTube that way) but that doesn't address the discovery problem. It's just reall…

I'd actually love to eat insects but to my dismay I found out they're actually really expensive...

Inspired by another recent post on ATProto I signed up for bsky, but all I see is endless American politics. I relentlessly click "less like this" but it doesn't seem to budge. Is …

Guidance definitely can be helpful. Of course it's important that the possibility exists; Ihhave high functioning AuDHD and without extra support I probably wouldn't have made it a…

It depends on your threshold for normal but the guy has maybe 1/100k strange IQ while holding 1/50 strange beliefs. No matter how weird your beliefs are it'll never make you as abn…

It's a mixed bag. I personally wish I had access to medication (but don't have the emotional energy fighting that fight with the medical system and getting rediagnosed in my curren…

In many places getting an adult ADHD diagnosis is near impossible. I was diagnosed at age 8 personally, but I now live in a country where adult ADHD is borderline not acknowledged …
