One does not need to be human to understand. Animals understand. Saying “he” or “she” would be closer to anthropomorphism than the parent comment, but still does not sufficiently s…

The parent comment wasn’t making that comparison. In fact, quite the opposite. The communism comment emphasized personal experience with a boot in one’s face, not that the boot was…

Americans’ apathy to your concerns and their support of this administration is a direct consequence of the emotional blackmail tactic you employ. I share some of your concerns, but…

Anthropic signed a $200 million contract with the world’s largest military and hadn’t considered if it would be used for military operations? When an article reads like fiction, I …

Military personnel are currently only allowed to use Signal for mobile communications within their unit. Classified information is a different story, though.

Novelty of stimulus is a huge factor, especially as training continues over years. Failure from a set of 20 is very different than failure from a set of 5, and bodybuilders will pe…

The activation energy or stimulus required for hypertrophy in untrained individuals is so low that it’s hard to differentiate the results. Studies like this absolutely need to be d…

The Affinity apps are great but there are some critical missing features that have been on the back burner for years. Most impactful example that comes to mind is the vector blend …

Minnesota, not Wisconsin. Same latitude and a fair point.

Everything you listed are tail risks of COVID, even in individuals with comorbidities, and are far more characteristic of the early strains than what’s circulating today. The only …

Hi, not the parent poster here. I believe the argument being made is that diagnostic criteria, and diagnoses themselves, can be shaped by cultural norms. As the Overton window shif…

What’s the right word to differentiate this from a psychiatric diagnosis? Neurological?

Why litigate it when you can buy it from the NSO / IDF?

“Minimum effective dose” is a concept I picked up from years of amateur bodybuilding. Seeing that same context in the beginning of the article was a treat! Minimum effective dose h…

I found this film recently and cannot recommend it enough. One of the most visually captivating and thought-provoking pieces of media I've consumed in recent memory. It details the…

Isn’t the pinyin for “肉” typically “ro”?

Fellow Neon Genesis fan here. Watching the original series was an incredibly frustrating experience for me. It does not follow the typical hero’s journey. There few wins, if any. M…

Poor analogy. This is already an issue with servicing automobiles. Overly-complicated construction and proprietary tools that can only be acquired by licensed dealerships. Read: Au…

Completely hamstringed? SMS is the standard, and yes it sucks horribly. Elevating the experience with additional software features and cloud services on one platform does not immed…

I agree with this wholeheartedly. The USA is a surveillance state and Apple’s security posture combined with its market share is a considerable hindrance. The arguments against ant…

That’s surprising to hear. I have zero DB experience, not am I a developer, and my default assumption is that some UUID maps to object / entry containing email address (and all oth…

I experienced a very unusual bug with a Tripp Lite KVM once because a feature like this was baked in.

I’m not not a developer, I work in the IT space and require deep focus for a myriad of other tasks (like anyone else, I presume). I’m no longer a musician but consider myself to ha…
