Let's start a movement similar to flat Earth, but instead it's Spherical Black Hole. I refuse to believe that a black hole is anything but a sphere no matter what evidence I'm shown.

Something to consider regarding longevity expectations for things like capacitors would be the input tolerances they're designed for. In many cases the capacitors that fail don't fail because they have reached the end of their ph

Wait, are you blaming consumers for the short life of the products they buy? Sort of a chicken and egg problem I guess. What came first, the short lived product, or the consumer's desire to buy something newer and shinier. People defin

Along with what you've described, which covers a huge swath of the problems I found with observables is this: https://twitter.com/git_commit_m/status/1014915134949429248 There is a pretty huge documentation p

I think that's an interesting argument, but I also think you need to consider the type of tooling and the reach of content in today's world. The apparatus that we have for tracking an identifying individuals and their media consum

I fully support scrubbing hateful content from any place where it appears. I think people should take note though, that this is the exact point in time when the machinery for censoring and filtering the internet is being implemented. Althou

I don't think it's (always) about being obsessed with social validation though, it's a new societal norm brought about by social media. In fact it's the _hook_ it's why people use social media at all, because you ca

Why quit? Why not just tell your parents to make their accounts private, or remove the images that you're not comfortable with? I feel like there are solutions here that don't involve delaying the parent's participation in so

I have a recurring nightmare that the semester is almost over and I haven't been to a single one of the math classes that I need to graduate because I keep forgetting about it and I know I'm too far behind to ever catch up. I&#x27

Yeah, you might have more success that way. I take 3mg right before bed and I find I fall asleep a lot faster than I do without it. Especially if I've been on a screen before bed or my brain just doesn't want to shut up. if you&#x

I would not have guessed that. I imagine you could order it through amazon or a similar service?

Weird, where are you that Melatonin is prescription only and difficult to obtain? I Can get it at any drug and grocery store I walk into in a variety of doses.

by JimBrimble35 8y ago
As I understand it, Melatonin can be administered as a hypotic (taken in larger doses (1mg - 3mg) before bed), or it can be taken in smaller doses hours before bed to trigger the natural release of Melatonin and start the sleep cycle. (I me

I recall listening to a sleep specialist on a radio show one morning (how's that for citing my sources). Apparently there are two different methodologies for administering Melatonin. One is to use a higher dose(1mg - 3mg) before sleep

Taking into consideration the content of this post, as well as the company posting it, this is essentially an invitation to participate in the newest release of the homogenization of web design. There are already skilled and talented design

This comment shows a fairly incomplete knowledge of the mental health spectrum. Not that I'm an expert myself, but I will weigh in with the knowledge I do have. "would that be considered depressed?" The article refers mostly

Yes. To be clear I think this is a terrible idea, but the appeal of the power this could wield as an investigative tool will likely outweigh all arguments against it.

This is interesting. I could see this being used for a sort of Shazam of anonymized voice data. You have access to anonymous voice data (from service providers, messaging services etc.), but you can't connect that data to an individual

Probably an unpopular statement, but man does this happen a lot with fortnite. They even have a section in their help pages specifically for unauthorized purchases by family members. Also, they don't seem to care at all about who'

But are people actually cutting their Netflix subscriptions because they play so much fortnite? I get that the game has a widely varied demographic, but I would assume that a majority of people putting in large amounts of "Consumer Scr

Maybe I'm an outlier in how I use streaming services, but I don't really understand why "Consumer Screen Time" is their most valuable metric. Whether I'm playing Fortnite or not my Netflix account is paid for and wa
