They've also sold personal massagers that were used as (and sometimes quietly designed as) sex toys for many years, too.

Stelo is basically just a consumer packaged version of the Dexcom G6, and in both cases they warn you to use a finger stick to verify unexpected readings. But finger sticks can be …

What fad theories are you thinking of?

Maybe you should consider this evidence that gay people aren't a "protected class" in the first place.

No. Freedom of expression is a human right, not a privilege of citizenship.

Yes, you can get infections from poorly maintained CPAPs (or respirators -- are those a scam, too?) but that's not going to spread to your whole family.

I was in the hospital for a month and was specifically prescribed BiPAP while I was there. I was completely unable to tolerate it and the technicians sent up to adjust it for me di…

Your claim is that CPAP gave this person a _communicable_ chest infection, which was then cured by herbal medicine? How could that possibly happen unless your local distilled water…

1) People who are not fully awake often do things for no clear reason -- I regularly wake up finding that I have no memory of removing my mask after 2-5 hours. 2) If you're prone t…

And there similarly was a market for relatively low-budget and/or pornographic and/or copyright-infringing computer games in western markets, it's just that people today find weird…

People making money off of something doesn't make it not a disaster, obviously. Within the past month crypto's biggest headline has been its use in bribing the US president.

Feist didn't write the game, however.

How is the law targeting men? As far as I know, it's just as illegal for women to create and possess deepfake porn. And, again: you do not need deepfake porn to have love and happi…

1) Sukarno had less to worry about than a schoolteacher (like in the article), perhaps. Teachers can get fired for even a hint of scandal. 2) Victorian men loved porn, prostitution…

I read it as "garbage like [described] in this article", not an attack on the article itself.

How is that "misandry"? Do you think only men are lonely and deprived of sex? Do you think only men fantasize about people they're attracted to? How did men survive so many years w…

I don't think there's any reason to believe that Trump is mentally competent to understand what's happening here or engage in any kind of meaningful negotiation.

The weaponization of antisemitism is especially repugnant coming from an administration that hires people like this: https://www.npr.org/2025/03/06/nx-s1-5319995/kingsley-wilson...…

It doesn't fail to meet the OSI's definition of open source. As you elsewhere conceded, the "blessing" in the SQLite source doesn't have legal weight and doesn't violate the OSD. P…

The OSI has approved a public domain dedication, so clearly they accept public domain software as OSD-compliant: https://opensource.org/license/unlicense An advisory blog post warn…

1) OSI says that public domain and open source are not the same thing ("Here’s why it’s a mistake to treat the two terms as synonyms"), not that public domain software cannot be op…

Which elements of the Open Source Definition does SQLite fail to meet?

What popular source-available, non-OSD software is commonly referred to as "open source"?

Roko's Basilisk only begins to make sense as a concern if you have already taken it as a given that sufficiently advanced AI would be capable of literally resurrecting the dead. If…
