> Do the vaccines work or not? Look at what's happened in Israel. Most of their population has been vaccinated, and their transmission numbers have plummeted in response. That alone should tell you that the vaccine is effective. Thi

I played a ton of Among Us in 2020, which is a game where you have to figure out which of your friends are lying. I quickly learned that going off "well they're acting pretty guilty" was an easy way to lose. A friend of mine

Agreed. I checked out the channels he mentioned. Some put out videos that are completely unwatchable. The first video that loads on Massimo Bottura's channel is a portrait-style recording of a livestream shot with a phone and covered i

BitWarden won't fix my QuteBrowser issue :( and I've written lastpass bash scripts for sites I use on my arch partition (typically aws etc) so I'm a bit invested in lastpass. Not sure if it's worth $30/year for me t

I unironically love this browser and use it on my arch setup, but it uses QtWebEngine (based on Chromium) which doesn't support chrome extensions. As someone who uses lastpass for everything, it's a bit frustrating. I've had

Really? Yes, sometimes you catch them an interviewer on a bad day or something, and often people are just cargo culting what they're familiar with, but if their interview process is a complete mess their company likely is too. Once I i

Used shroomery + PF tek in college, it cost around $100 and half was on a pressure cooker for sterilizing jars. For someone who struggled with depression at the time, it broke through in ways that SSRIs failed to. It also was my gateway int

Ebay banning these items is a good thing. Removing them from the biggest second-hand markets in the world devalues them as collectables. Ebay has removed other collectable items in the past, like slave tags and aunt jemima bottles.

Once you have eight different things you need to pay a month it becomes way too time consuming to manually pay bills. Easier to just set up a mint account and check your finances once a month.

I have so many good memories of being a part of the amazing ZZT community and the surprisingly solid games a bunch of teenagers made for fun (burger joint, november eve, the zelda trilogy), as well as making my own crappy little games for f

I've used Ruby and rails for close to a decade and have never seen/experienced something like what they're describing, so I doubt this is really that common.

Pharmaceutical companies in the US charge whatever they can get away with, with the argument that insurance will cover it for most people. The price of insulin (clearly not a new drug) has increased 10x in the last 15 years.

It was investigated, and it is not the federal government's job to police this; the law states that individual States are responsible for that.

This was a coup attempt that involved breaking into congress to stop presidential succession. Are you suggesting the two are comparable?

Perhaps I'm being too cynical, but accounts in collections are typically sold at about 4% value. They'd expect to get about 26k back from that debt. Perhaps they felt the good PR was worth that much?

> Organized crime exists in many places where it’s not funded by drug trade. Organized crime will likely never truly go away, but it has flourished because of the war on drugs (just as it did in America during the prohibition era).

Would love this. Psilocybin is the only thing I've found that knocks me out of my depression for a week or two when I'm too low to function. But I wish I could get those benefits without having to commit a full day to the psychede

Granted, 2000 hours is a lot, but most humans need at least some time to unwind and relax in order to maintain high levels of productivity.

There was clearly a polling error, so yes, my statement doesn't really stand for southern states like Florida where the count is complete. What I'd be more interested in is an article with more meat than this one, something that a
