The wiki mentions one of the plants used to treat diabetes was called asit plant fibers. Does anyone familiar with this have any insight into what experts think asit was?

Damn sorry about that. Editing on mobile obscures so much and the title length limit hit me too. Anyways, enjoy the article it’s still fun.

Advocates for free speech that support a "public square" model of free speech but who refuse to adapt that to the modern digital communication systems are doing more harm than good in my opinion. A public square filled with nation

It can’t be built towards unless the nation state actors and bots are accounted for and routed around. I don’t see that happening.

And yet, I would bet money that thefts in the US rarely are from lock manipulation (picking, drilling, but maybe brute force eg door frame). We have too many accessible windows in the US, and a lot lower density, maybe this is why Euro lock

But attacking the lock is the last thing a smart or determined person will do. Sure a better lock helps, this is why most modern cars have much better locks than homes, but even they can be easily opened with the right tools, and often even

Look out for (keep away from) US residential lock brands, like Schlage or anything you can buy at Home Depot. Newer Kwikset locks are OK but still susceptible to some more moderate attacks with a shim. In general, try to get any “rated” Eur

Curious how you see it that way. I am a pretty empathetic person (maybe less so to strangers than friends), but I have limited (mostly by choice) filters, so sometimes I just want to make sure I’m not going to accidentally cross any boundar

I don’t think that was the conclusion. Have a read it’s not that long. On a personal note, one could interpret it that way if they disregard their ability to transmit their viral load to someone who hasn’t been infected yet. You are probabl

FTA: Accordingly, for a person who has already had a primary infection, the risk of having a severe reinfection is only approximately 1% of the risk of a previously uninfected person having a severe primary infection. It needs to be determi

I learned about tulpas in the pandemic and it absolutely terrified me as a concept. I encourage anyone who hasn’t heard of it to look it up or go down the Reddit rabbit hole for a bit.

If you can learn to focus in your day dreaming, weed can make it much more fun, I can’t speak for shrooms but I suspect if you can handle the hallucination it may be additive to the experience.

Interesting. I have been doing this for decades but I absolutely started to get more intentional and in depth during the pandemic. I’ve never been good in social situations and I generally avoid them, and I used this kind of day dreaming to

It has nothing to do with sense and only to do with feelings on all sides. I also mask because I have elderly family and I care that they will die if they get sick at this point, I’m doing my part to minimize the impact on others with what

Are you suggesting that one’s immune system becomes stronger after year over year infection? If so, to what end? Every year? Even when I’m 80? When does my system break down. Isolation seems to solve all of these issues and I hate people so

Probably because we should have been, and now some of us have learned. It’s been a pleasure going two years without any upper respiratory illnesses for me. I look forward to being steadfast in that since it’s really not that hard to wear a

Sort of agree, sort of disagree. Before the pandemic, Great America Park was a place where groups of teens would jump the fence and rob people with tasers, so this is just another example of that kind of thing. Is it happening more often, o

Good luck getting worldwide cooperation on that. I guess it depends on who you are referring to as `we` but unless it's stopped entirely, there's still real risk of non-compliance leading to leaks or bioterrorism.

Yep, eventually this technology will be worthwhile for folks with less scale to implement. Maybe Amazon will license access to Sidewalk. I believe Apple does a similar thing with their devices.
