Some states did initially allow co-op markets where farmers got to sell directly to consumers, and only needed to test large batches to meet requirements. The prices were very low because there were no extra middlemen to get taxed, and beca

In most recreational states, cannabis is taxed heavily at every step in the supply chain, so the highest quality still ends up being very expensive -- upward of $400/oz. The black market has the exact same quality at the wholesale pric

The existing code is rather specific to that site, but I've considered making a more generalized version that could work for any small app.

These supply chains have existed since the early 90s, and it's kind of amazing that the only change since then is that carding now requires marginally sophisticated hacking. Up until the mid-2000s, the primary carding method was Google

Disabling SSR and prerender within SvelteKit turns the output into an SPA, and the manualChunks option in vite-plugin-singlefile ensures the output is one file that includes every page of the site.

Metagroove is a pretty great visualizer that has the same vibe as Winamp's, but with a modern touch -- and more importantly, a modern resolution. https://marumari.itch.io/metagroove https://www.reddit.com&#x

The fluid in D3O is encapsulated in plastics, which is how it maintains its scratch and tear resistance. Whereas the entire structure of the hydrogel in the article is bare, which means the friction of a rotating tire would easily rip it to

I don't see any of this as novel. This is just a non-Newtonian fluid where the suspension is made up of flexible polymers, just like many others. They talk about specifically selecting guest molecules and altering them to change the pr

Not sure I understand the point of describing a free plugin as "overrated" if it does at least one thing very well. I don't think many would even agree that it's limited to one good reverb function.

Gapless playback won't be available until VLC 4. Audio getting cut off at the end has been a known issue for 10 years, and will apparently be fixed in v4, as well. I realize that I could be running the nightly to fix the audio issue, b

VLC is surprisingly terrible for audio. It struggles to read tags and almost never auto-sorts properly, it cuts off the end of tracks, there's no ability to play without gaps, etc.

You're gaslighting. A complete falsehood generated by your imagination is not "accurate enough" for any situation, and crying "nitpick" doesn't magically make you correct about anything.
