Well I’ll be. I didn’t know there was pharmaceutical grade meth. I was going to suggest perhaps heroin as a better example, but apparently there’s a medical version of that too.

However, my experience is living in the US where schedule 1 drugs are at least blocked for medical use in the US. I don’t know if that extends to research or not.

So heroin and LSD are banned in the US where at least heroin is allowed in some places as diamorphine.

Negative, in this case it was LSD. It was just an anecdotal example of how some illegal substances mostly used for recreation can work as good if not better than many prescription or OTC drugs on the market. I’ve heard good thing about psilocybin as well for issues like depression and PTSD. Weed now being at least medically legal in many places is a testament to it’s medicinal benefits as well.

I really like seeing these types of articles, because these issues such as PTSD, depression, headaches, etc… can be absolutely debilitating, and it’s nice to see new options that can not only help, but do so very effectively.

I know a person that will get bad cluster headaches every 6 months to a year. The episodes last about 30+ minutes, can be triggered for a month+, and can be triggered by many things. Oxygen treatment is known to stop an attack when they start, but their doctor wouldn’t prescribe it, and insurance wouldn’t cover it. They joined some online support groups and ended up taking a tab of acid that eliminated them. Not just an attack, but they haven’t had any for a couple of months since.

It’s foolish to not at the very least allow medical research and clinical trials for any substance as long as there’s evidence that it can help. If meth cured cancer, meth should be be allowed to be administered by doctors.

Naming strains has to be about one of the most fun jobs.

Just all of the cheese. I think that it just reads funny. Knowing it’s about strains of weed makes it make sense, but the names are still funny when talking about strains like mozzarella. It’s the crossing of two completely separate things, cheese and weed, and making them one, and that tickles me.

With or without context, this is one of the goofiest sounding comments I’ve read in a long time.

We have a foster pup right now that looks very very similar to this. She smiles and everything. Not sure of the mix, but thinking it’s pitty and dalmatian. She’s a sweetheart, but barks every time I come into the room, even if I was just out of sight for 30 seconds. That causes a chain reaction with the other dogs, and I could definitely do without that.

The hose. Across 4+ dogs, none have ever had interest in kiddie pools or sprinkler like toys. If I start spraying the hose, it’s game in though. They’re weird.

I’d prefer not, but he’s not wrong.

During a Champions League football match last season, Gianluca Prestianni was accused of making a racist comment towards Vinicius Junior. There was no hard proof, but the circumstantial evidence was pretty clear. After the match I read a comment that said, “It’s not all Argentines, but it’s always someone from Argentina.” I found that to be profoundly apt at the time. Then during the WC, the team further displayed their thuggery specifically about the Falkland islands.

All I’m saying is, fuck this guy.

That was an unfortunate read.

Except Costco. They did stand up against the DEI bullshit and recently have expressly said they won’t buy and distributed the imported beef. I assume there’s more between those two points in time, I’m just not aware. One of the few out there doing good stuff.

Touche.

I’ve seen a handful of videos about it recently that have been pushed into my algorithm. There’s definitely a campaign to get it out to influencers. Never heard of it prior to this week.

It’s just a fork of Arch, with tiling, that’s been slop coded with AI. Something anyone could recreate without AI in a couple hours if they’re familiar with Arch.

I usually push 4 hours or about 400 miles when I can on longer trips. I rarely drive late nights anymore, so most of that travel takes place during the light if day. It’s about 4 hours for me to visit my friends in an adjacent state, and I can do that comfortably now under a single tank of gas. That could result a couple of stops on a lower range EV if I didn’t want to push the limits. That’s just something I’m not willing to do right now.

Again, I hope that I can get by without purchasing a new vehicle for many years to come. EVs are getting better and battery tech is improving as well. I think the market will probably meet my needs by the time I’m ready to transition.

I think they’re overpriced compared to most laptops. Being ARM doesn’t inherently make it more valuable. The newest cheap model is the first that I feel has been relatively fairly priced, but it still comes with less RAM than it should. “Grossly” may not be the best word, but I think they are overpriced based entirely on name recognition.

Like I said, I think their fine computers, just more expensive than they should be.

I am in no way an Apple fan. I think their computers are fine but grossly over priced and their phones are ass. I would say compared to many other big tech companies, the enshittifying isn’t as bad. Those like Google and Microsoft for example. If I had a gun to my head and had to buy a new Windows laptop or Mac and not install Linux, I’m taking the Mac. That’s not a positive review for them, it’s an insult to Microsoft.

So take what I said and just assume it means that they are just getting worse faster, not that they good and going to get bad. That ship sailed long ago as you pointed out.

I don’t have to. Yea, it shares some backend Google services, but the rest of the browser, like the other 90% isn’t Chrome. It’s like comparing Windows and Mac OS and saying that they’re the same because they both connect to the same Internet and that their operating systems. Just like Chrome v Firefox, they are two distinctly different products.

I hope for my next vehicle to be an EV, but I won’t take anything less that 300 miles range. I know that 90% of my driving can be comfortably done in under 200 range, but I do go on longer trips. I know that recharging has come a long way, and I have no problem hanging out for 15+ min at a station, but I won’t do it every 2-3 hours because that’s all I’ve got.

I’m hoping to get many more years out of my current ride before it dies or becomes too costly to repair vs replace. That gives ample time for battery tech to further improve, and hopefully more and cheaper EVs to the market.

I’m not a car snob by any means, but currently the only EV that really piques my interest is the ionic 5 n, but it’s range is just way too low. I’ve been driving a WRX for a little over 6 years now, and love pretty much everything about it. I hope to someday have an EV equivalent of it.

Other than just this, reading through the comments, this John fellow like he’s trying to speed run enshittifying Apple.

MS and Apple looking to push that Linux migration with AI and other bad decisions.
