My dumbass Republican family members don't use the "essential oil" ones -- they use whatever cheap corporate bullshit from Glade or whoever. It's good to know, however, that non-chemical ones are available. Thanks.

And methanol is not good for anyone, in any measure. I'm pretty sure that's why, 100 years ago, there were so many blues folks with names like "Blind Lemon Jefferson" -- they had drunk bad hooch that got too much methano

Yeah, I stopped going to houses that ran those plug-in diffusers. The rule is: don't put it into your lungs or onto your skin if you wouldn't put it into your mouth. Those people are just paying people to poison them, however slow

Well said. I'm not the first to say it, but: common sense ain't so common. Here's some recommendations from our household, related to my previous battles with mold-related illness: RabbitAir hepa-level air purifiers. Pricey,

I did landscaping in Atlanta with the business owner, whose college-attending son and friends would sometimes fight each other for fun. "Good Sir, I must politely decline your generous invitation."

Yeah, but I'd be spending hours a day training my body to be a finely-tuned fighting machine, ready to evade any damage if I chose to quit before the day's beating. Until I could improve my situation, every day I'd look him s

I can't and wouldn't argue with what you say here, but: a) I donated twice as much to somafm b) His connecting me with somafm was worth the donation to him. Besides, as an aspiring sw artist, I like to sow good karma seeds. That s

Well, we are a part of a physical system whose laws correspond to mathematical formulas, but aren't formulas, they're existing physical, energetic relationships maintained magically in realtime. And, yeah, it's magic, this

With the CMBR being so low-temp (4K IIRC), combined with the vast distances of empty space (I know it's not really empty, but practically so), the tendency over time is that temperature will settle down to lower and lower energy states

Good call, I sent them a chunk because that's the part I'm gonna use. I haven't heard a track I didn't like yet. Nice service. I hope they pay the artists.

Congratulations. That is very well done, indeed, and the music selection is right up my alley. (FYI: Working on Ubuntu with standard Firefox, no problems at all.) Thanks for this, whoever you are :-) Will try to slide you some cash, when po

Isn't using VsCode for a non-Microsoft language going to be difficult, by (MS's) design? I'm not saying it can't/hasn't be/been done, but I doubt MS are making it easier to do so. It's been their m.o.
