hehe, I used in my college classes, at Technical University of Moldova, my teacher was a bit on the fence about it (he was demanding Matlab, but the uni wasn't providing any licens…

Yeah, i remember being prescribed ampicillin and aspirin for every cold, as a child. They didn't care, they only wanted to "do something". I remember in highschool having a colleag…

In my case, medicine and diet had little effect. And I was in pretty bad shape, i got to the emergency room several times a week with awful abdominal pain, vomiting, constipation. …

I also lost access to a previous gmail account - I changed my password with a random generated one, and god (and a google engineer) knows why, I lost access. No amount of appealing…

> I applaud the pursuit of longevity and health so long it is paired with the egalitarian outcome in that everybody will be entitled and receive it, regardless of who they are and …

Don't they already use MySQL for example? I don't think it would stop them in any way, unless some lawyers had some really antiquated views, coming straight from the 90's

Probably because of different alloys used, different thickness. You don't expect a commercial ship to be shot at with missiles.

There is only one reason for me to use it: as a historical reenactor, I strive to make my equipment as accurately as possible, and I read various articles regarding roman military …

The thing with the sodium was debunked like a hundred times already, how long is this myth gonna last? Beside a temporary spike in blood pressure, there is nothing wrong with eatin…

Coffee and tea helps me in such cases. Plain, no sugar, no milk. Brushing your teeth can also reduce hunger. Also, try to take it gradually - I don't eat at all on Wednesdays, maki…

I have some personal anecdotes that support this to some degree - I have dermatitis, and acne on my forearms - the longer I fast, the less acne I have, and my dermatitis recedes. T…

Heh. It takes 10-12 hours to get from Cluj to Bucharest by train, and that's less than 500km.

There's a lot more to Transnistria. Russia wants it as a strategic point of access to Europe. There are roads purposely build for quick access with tanks (big, heavy, concrete road…

Unless is a separate topic, I think there's a confusion here. When Moldavia is mentioned, they mean the historical region Moldavia, part of the Romania. We normally refer to that M…

Are you saying that this doesn't already exist? There are tons of people selling passwords, profiles, credit cards info, social security numbers et cetera. Or are you trying to say…

Ah, it comes a bit later, at 19:00 - "At that point people who are angry, mistrustful, and may not understand a thing about computers will regulate your industry into the ground. Y…

https://youtu.be/GAXLHM-1Psk?t=945 - I think this commentary by Maciej Ceglowski rings true here.

I'm afraid the incentives are not there - and we won't do any of those things - but at some point the system will bounce back, and hopefully it will self-regulate, rather than spir…

Try Lineage on a phone with F-Droid as your app repo: much more trustable - though not completely, plenty of blobs floating around, the modem OS, and is safe to assume there are no…

Doesn't anybody do shit on their laptop anymore or on their own server? Why does it have to be 10 thousand services, why the dependency on the network and other entities? How many …

Use MediaGoblin then?

They also had great chemists and physicists. Many of them were awarded nobel prizes, so you can look it up.

Oh, I just took a shotgun cartridge (the one used for hunting, but the old kind, made completely out of brass), flipped in with the primer up, and hit it with a hammer. Good thing …

What if that computer is running something critical, say a reactor, and elevator or some device in a hospital? Computers are everywhere these days... Todays proof-of-concept become…

The source code won't give you shit. Even if you have it all, right here, right now: 1. you cannot disable it completely - there's an image of Intel ME, burned into the chipset, wh…
