If I could go back a few years and warn you against using nicotine to self-medicate ADHD, I would. I also have ADHD and kicked a 5 year vaping habit about a year ago. Nicotine might help you focus in the very short term, but if you can&#x27

You can be critical of the abuses of power that exist in the police force without resorting to hyperbole like "they have the legal right to kill you for any reason during the encounter." They most certainly do not legally have t

I thought DoH would defeat the pihole. Is this incorrect?

That's a slippery argument. At the low functioning end of the autism spectrum are behaviors like tantrums, compulsive violence towards self and others, and behaviors like fecal smearing. We also need to be careful not to ignore clearly

And isn't this sort of to be expected after globalization? Wages balance out across the (globalized) market, for the most part. It also strikes me as kind of a good thing. Is that wrong of me to think?

You know BattleBots has been on a new run since 2015? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BattleBots#Season_6_(2015) I cannot vouch for this being high quality TV but the spinning meta was broken somehow. There are still a n

Plus they don't have a great track record on the hardware durability. Some anecdotes: I had a bootlooping 5X after 11 months of ownership (that Google refused to replace) and my Pixel stopped being able to receive calls, also after 11

They also give you the option to self-host, so you don't have to trust their hosting service if you don't want to. Own your data!

I don't see why Slack would be more trustworthy than Discord when it comes to data privacy, when we're talking about a company that failed to disclose a breach for 5 years. https://techcrunch.com/2019/07/

What? There hasn't been significant child mortality in developed countries since the second world war (when there was a spike due to the depression and war). In the 19th century, child mortality wasn't because of lack of regulatio

I was offended on my own behalf. I grew up in a rural, Southern area where I only ever heard 'hick' used by outsiders as a slur against locals. Certainly I have also seen rural people "reclaim" the term, but that doesn&#

That's a funny example considering an input validation routine for credit cards should automatically throw out any input consisting of more than numerals and spaces. You don't need to test for Unicode or emoji when there are only

I just think you should know that "hick" is an offensive slur.

I'm surprised that what shooters like/do not like can be generalized like this. I would have expected that it was more dependent upon the specific psychology of the shooter than this.

It's funny to see 3rd party integrations listed when IRC was barely more than telnet and was stupid simple to interact with programmatically. I wrote my first IRC bot, from zero knowledge to functioning in the channel, in 45 minutes. T

The Presidential caucus may have something to do with it but "and several Congressional reps are from" makes it sound like they have disproportionate representation in Congress, or don't deserve representation. Iowa has 4 rep

It's sort of ironic that the NYT decided to caption a shot of a soda fountain calling for more taxes on sugary drinks when the high fructose corn syrup is only so cheap in the first place because of subsidies. Maybe instead of subsidiz

I wonder how many of those extra hours watched are because the stream just didn't stop after the person fell asleep. I can't tell you the number of times I've fallen asleep while Netflix played (or walked away) and it went ri

It's the breadth and depth of data which Google, Facebook, and Amazon have access to (and their ability to leverage it) that changes the privacy threat model entirely. A mom and pop store I give my credit card to in town can't tra

What if you are eating processed food because you don't have the time, place, ability, or necessary tools to cook? What if you live in a food desert and you do not have reliable transportation to take you to a grocery with fresh foods?

This is appalling. I worked as a L1 ticket tech for an old LAMP host back in the day where probably half of the tickets required nothing more than a password reset or a IP removal from our firewall, very easy stuff, and was proud if I got o
