    I have a friend who did that for a few months and it took her iirc 2 years to get over the gum fixation.. even without nicotine, she always had to have some gum for cravings I thin…

    I think the key with vaping (not necessarily with Juul though due to market availability) is that it's very easy to decrease the dosage of nicotine without reducing the fixation am…

    Am I the only person who can never have "full brainpower" anytime within 3 hours of waking up?

    Honestly, they go to bed at the time the parent sets a routine after probably 3 or 4yo. My kids consistently go to bed at 9pm for school, 10pm on weekends/summer, and typically no …

    It blows my mind some of the comments here of people who do this. I can literally not recall a time that mornings were not miserable.. and that includes when I am jet lagged (eithe…

    Really cool, see a few missing film types (Superia 800 and 1600, Cinestill 800T/Vision3 500T) would also be really interesting if there was listings for cross-processing, especiall…

    There was no disclosure that they were hemorrhaging money nor that their product was significantly unprofitable though. I imagine interest would've been a lot less had that fact be…

    Along that same line, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is a pretty good movie at warning that playing it fast and loose with recreational drugs beyond alcohol can have you end up wit…

    I remember my first digital camera. I think it was a somewhat pricey ($200) point and shoot. It was around 2002 or 2003. It was so awesome to get "scans" off the camera with just a…

    I would think the real test is to do some pulling on the cable to make sure it's reasonably sound structurally, and also maintaining 10 GBit at the spec maximum for cat-6... but re…

    The credit is currently wrong, it should belong to one of the developers on my team, David Jaenson. My comment was an early disclosure before I fully understood how sensitive the d…

    Actually it only seems to be a side effect of our test environment. Using a more realistic environment makes it not effective, sorry for the false alarm

    This has happened with other, much smaller, cryptocurrencies. The choice usually agreed upon by exchanges, developers, and community is to pick a known good block before the attack…

    As a hater of the EVM and person directly trying to replace this shit, here is my rebuttal: First, smart contracts don't have a private key, at least not in the meaning of the word…

    There appears to be a workaround to bypass the assert check in Bitcoin Core 0.16 that allows one to mint new coins by using an input multiple times and it be accepted by the networ…

    I've heard Europe is more reasonable, but at least as of a few years back before Square got so popular, there was a ton of fees to having a bank-owned card reader. Typically requir…
