It's written by the Garmin PR team - their headlines are as intuitive as their device UIs! This article is much better: https://www.readersdigest.co.uk/inspire/life/how-a-fisherman...

Anecdotally, people are much more likely to have violent episodes when using alcohol than psychedelics. I'd be surprised if relevant scientific studies didn't support these observations.

> Personally, I’d rather be surrounded by a group of alcohol abusers than a group of psychedelics abusers. Can you elaborate a bit on this take? We've all seen how far people abusing alcohol can go. Where as the worst I see from psy

San Francisco's budget for homelessness is over 500 million per year. If that isn't enough money to address the problem in one city we clearly need radically different solutions.

I feel it's destructive for people to hold this incorrect belief. People living into their 60s and 70s was very common for all of recorded history. By ignoring this, modern people are less incentivized to criticize and challenge their

I actually do live in the Bay Area and spend a lot of time in San Francisco. I applied for the Cruise waitlist well over a year ago but have not been accepted. I've tried to organize with friends who have access but we rarely have a re

I think you're mistaken. There are still massive technological challenges. I have seen nearly no evidence that current self-driving car technology is even remotely close to matching the ability of a novice human driver. Sure while the

"Aerial" isn't directly related to airplanes. It means in the air. Unless you consider low earth orbit outside of the atmosphere, which is somewhat debated.

I've obsessively played Factorio since 2014, probably logging over a thousand hours in it. I found Shapez a lot more finicky and overall way less fun. The challenges and progression in Shapez are mundane, the theme is abstract, and the

HOTD is so refreshing after the disappointing final seasons of GoT. I didn't have high expectations for it but it's been some of the best television I've seen years.

When I search "sodium nitrite pure" on Amazon the first page of results all are sodium nitrate . For the actual "nitrite" listings, my points stands. There are no weird recommendations.

Looking at listings for pure sodium nitrate, I don't see any of the "frequently bought together" suicide kit items they mention. When I search for "suicide" there's a "Suicide and Crisis Lifeline" ban

The lawyer's thread is wrong. Sodium nitrate is used in aquariums. I've purchased similar lab-grade chemicals for use in mine.

I think it's totally fine for Amazon to sell lab-grade chemicals regardless of whether there's a common household use for them. I've personally bought chemicals like this for use in an aquarium. It makes absolutely no sense t

Psychedelics are not a street drug. The majority of people struggling with addiction use crack cocaine, crystal meth, and opioids. Those are not decriminalized (technically).

Anyone considering investing in Regetti should take a look at the company's negative reviews on glassdoor. They paint a picture of a highly disfunctional organization struggling with behind-the-curve tech driven on hubris and the ego o
