Yea, we saw the bread lines.

Not everyone needs to work. Some people have enough in savings to cover their expenses. Other people have benefactors (most notably, parents). And others live off of property that …

It's almost like impoverishing everyone by debasing their currency to fight foreign wars for a century has had some knock on effects to public health.

I think it's worth recognizing the impact that Gin had on 18th and 19th century England. It was at least akin to the meth epidemic across large parts of the US 15-20 years ago. Not…

Underrated take. Nothing ever stopped a sufficiently skilled pencil artist from sketching someone in the nude without their permission. People have been making fake nude photos sin…

Seems like a good idea. Who ever heard of a kid getting ahold of a beer?

Kids can't bypass it because the systems they're trying to access are entirely different than they were in 1995. They are not accessing "the Internet" on which they connect to thei…

The UX would have to be carefully thought out. But something like setting a "don't bother me" threshold, an overall budget, and an amount that you would like to be asked for explic…

I'm sort of surprised it's not mirrored there, but not surprised that it's main hosting isn't there. It sort of works best if people find it. Nostr purity spirals have a great way …

I fire it up any time I'm in a crowded area just to see. I do wish it had vicinity based chat rather than the geohashes though, which always make it hard to select which level of g…

They have at least added mesh wifi, but yes, the adoption pick up has been fairly slow except in do or die protest scenarios. It is handy if you're on a plane with someone but your…

Wow -- that's a combination I only remember people being highly cautioned against at least for recreational use.

Just buy poppy seeds in bulk and make a tea. They wash 'em, but not enough to get all of the opium off the outside. Okay but really maybe don't do this unless you're gonna be caref…

Add yet another benefit to NAC. Also works wonders for COVID spike protein detox.

Most intentional overdose suicides are hoping to drift off to sleep and not wake up. That is NOT what happens with an acetaminophen overdose. It'd be like intentionally eating deat…

Fentanyl isn't all that unsafe, aside from the habituation potential. When your measurement is "that looks about right" when purity is entirely unknown, not much really is all that…

Everyone's ability to metabolize drugs being different has a lot to do with why the labels end up advising less than is effective for many people. Dextromethorphan surely is NOT in…

"Most studies have found that dextromethorphan performs the same as a placebo and some suggested it was worse than honey." Something tells me this is because they're using it at th…

The best thing that happened for multiplayer games is that kids came along that agreed that they didn't need developers to actually create games when all they really wanted was gra…

Switzerland is the only first world country.

More like Debian (and derivatives) on older hardware. No thanks. Slackware's running just fine on this system I've got with 15 year old DDR3 RAM without needing an article about it…

If I haven't chatted with a CEO or other builder in a week I've probably not spent a ton of time online. Obviously different people have different time and attention; they don't al…

So it's like OpenOffice or LibreOffice or Abiword but it costs money?

The amount of people who can't see the difference between a monetary system captured by central planners who stand in the way of the free market at every turn and who, in their con…

I'm not sure I really consider SQL a programming language though. Certainly doesn't seem fair to compare it to anything turing complete (at least, unless you're going to lump in ex…
