How about no, control freak.

Of course not if limited to strict, inflexible ideological dogma, but the net effect serves the "higher" goal via realpolitik: Make government the "enemy" to be destroyed like how …

That's the intended point.. mismanagement to form a self-fulfilling prophecy to justify and destroy government to allow more corruption and theft by the 1%; the libertarian wet dre…

A Logitech 925e ($99 USD MSRP) currently goes for $180-$260 on eBay and $358 on Amazon.

Assuming, on the off chance, that this isn't some sort of quack treatment ploy, anything that works significantly would be a plus. I'm on my 13th antidepressant now that is yet-aga…

Let's be honest: owls are birb ninja assassins.

Wear a reliable mask, fitted properly and remove it properly. Also, wear indirect or non-vented eye protection, or you're that gate on a road without a fence that the virus drives …

To manipulate people against their own interests to supposedly "save" PPE for HCWs, even though HCWs often get PPE from different manufacturers and distribution channels. Dishonest…

Just like the 1880's: conspiracy theories, rumors and Alex Jones' snake oil panaceas. The world is headed to another Dark Age at this rate.

That's a sweeping over-generalization. I said find a good textbook.

So the financial equivalent of being beaten and dragged off a plane. Airlines couldn't be anymore customer-hostile unless they needle behind the ear, shrink-wrapped people and thre…

Stop giving bureaucracies evil ideas to torture us and waste even more of our time. ;@) In the future, I want a drone with a replicator to land and make the shipment of products ri…

I just learned cooking white and brown rice together doesn't work because the white rice will keep absorbing liquid until it's saturated, leaving hard/uncooked brown rice. Whoops. …

I'm making spanish rice, falafel, and hummus from absolute scratch. Is someone out there growing wheat and making naan or tortillas?

Biggest "duh" ever. Daddy issues and mommy issues are nuanced but create similar patterns of damaged/altered behaviors in later life. Anyone who's done dating seriously becomes eff…

Thin-skinned fewlings police: wrew, wrew, wrew.

A good ER database textbook illustrates normal forms much better than a blog post.

Firstname lastname is too fragile and oversimplified. Suffix, prefix and a variable number of middle names/initials can also be necessary. Occasionally, legal name vs. nickname is …

I would bet scraping from Amazon, reducing prices randomly from 20-50%, and being sure search engines and aggregators see it, i.e., Google/Google Shopping.

Yes. Defense-in-depth. In China, most hospital red zones required 3 layers of PPE, whether that's two masks and a face shield or such. One layer alone is not very good, and a face …

Strawman and wrong.

Your opinion is for you alone, doctor keyboard. Declaring what other people should do is supremely arrogant.

This is an inconvenient fact because most HNers tend to be wealthy or upper-middle class, first-world and myopic to their limited filter bubbles... and so utopian anarcho-capitalis…

Also beware of phony Magento sites that don't have actual products, but are just trying to get CCs, PayPal or crypto payments.

An exercise in false hope, futility, ostensible charity, and virtue-signaling. Ventilator manufacturers have solved numerous issues including reliability, durability, noise levels …
