Do you have one in particular you'd suggest? That matches the performance, cooling, and profile of mine?

I love my induction cooktop. I despise - in fact loathe - the touch interface, which becomes useless with the slightest spill of oil (and can thus be stuck on high until the interf…

It seems to me that there's really nothing at that store that "normal people" want to buy. Everything that we want to do can be done through ordinary collaboration with no need for…

> Disney still gets upset Why do you care about Disney's emotional outbursts in the first place though? > The problem is that it is now explicitly reserved for the rich. That's not…

Even more bizarre than debating over whether we can stop the free flow of information across communications surfaces (we can't)... is the notion that this one person - a highly ine…

> bathroom stalls That's like, elite literary territory though. Let's stick to the discussion on books.

The era of so-called "intellectual property" is over. You can accept it or not. But it's going to be a lot easier if you do.

Codeberg being transparent about having a political bent - which all projects do even if they claim not to - is fine. Wonderful even. But I think they got this particular political…

> I feel like I'm asking for peace on earth. FWIW, this is not an unreasonable ask either.

> I get that artists aren't paid enough, but it's better than the $0 they get from piracy. No it's not. We'd _much_ rather you steal our music if it means we are part of a free, pe…

Surely it's strange to use the term "long covid" to describe the effects of only one covid, when at least four others have been circulating for decades or more and have been causin…

It's possible. I think a darker possibility also looms: that there is ongoing astroturfing across the internet in defense of what turned out to be ludicrous policies. In real life,…

...there have been dozens and dozens of published papers and now a whole conference on this topic. If you seriously haven't considered (let alone heard about) this, a simple google…

> Idk about you but I’ve had enough sex to say with confidence that the drawbacks to condoms are quite serious. Heh well of course I don't deny that there's a dramatic decrease in …

Sure, but when data did become available (eg, the diamond princess dataset), most reasonable scientists changed their minds. The policies however did not change, and instead contin…

The preventative effects of condoms are impressive, while the drawbacks (both first- and second-order) are relatively small. Lockdowns on the other hand provided no measurable bene…

Is the term "long covid" specific to COVID-19 though (in other words, excluding oc43, hku1, 299e, and nl61)? Or does it mean "long coronavirus disease", including all covids? I see…

The evidence suggests you are incorrect; parts of the world without lockdowns did not observe increased adverse outcomes. I thought this was 100% settled at this point?

In constitutional / jurisdictional / legal terms, perhaps not. In forming consensus about the philosophical underpinnings of the rights we have with respect to the emerging interne…

Is there a first amendment implication? Second? Both?

We can set some rasterization floor, such as like 3 minutes or something, and live with that. Correcting for a 3-minute offset every few millenia seems easier than trying to unders…

Oh I wish I was home, mama where the bluegrass grows where the right to repair is made plain!

What a time for Poe's law.
