Besides, Humans != TheWorld. This planet is going to spin even if we--arguably the biggest issue this planet ever had--are gone. There is this old joke. Two planets meet and have a chat. "So, how are you?" "Well, not good.

Wait... Almost every kind of sport and exercise has an effect on depression. How did they control for that? Besides, if I read "may" and "yoga" in the same sentence, all my alarm bells go off. Not speaking about again

Very emotional language. Picturesque victims. A gagged female scientist , who wouldn't dislike that. Who dares to impose hierarchies on female scientists .

That is some techno-optimism right there! > A billionaire going blind would get the brain mapped at a resolution we can only dream of. I am wondering, being blind myself, what is it exactly that you are hinting at? I am assuming somethi

I think they are refering to the fact that variables are always strings. You can write stuff like i=0;i=$(( i + 1 ) which looks like you are dealing with integers, but in reality, the shell only deals with strings.

What you describe is the defining element of FreeTek. A lot of the tracks I danced to in the 90s were 33 played at 45.

It is not about the listeners, but about the DJs. The less BPM difference, the easier it is to mix a set.

The Lone Deranger was also one of my first (Goa) CDs. Simon Posford is pretty much a hero of the scene. Later found Shpongle and was pretty amazed that is the same guy. Also check out the Younger Brother project, also by him.

Seveneves is IMO the worst Stephenson story I read so far. No good sign if you stop reading midway. Although the first act was nice. I recently found my love for Greg Egan again. Incandescence is currently way up on my list of hard scifi

Well, my position was serious, and you're mocking my sincere post with your cynism. It is fine that you are not a work-guy, but don't mock me for not being you, OK?

I am a pedestrian. I am the one put in danger by reckless vehicle owners. No surprise that you "couldn't care less". Do you even realize that there is a demographic of people who don't own nor operate a car?

> Hardly anyone obeys it of course. Isn't is wonderful how vehicle owners are entitled to break the law, and nobody seems to care? Driving drunk, ignoring the speed limit, are all actions that directly endanger unrelated citizens.

Over 2/3 of the workforce actually does not like their job. Maybe start there, instead of reducing work time for everyone and likely dropping wages for everyone too.

But not a long-term solution. The brits had the right intuition. The EU is pretty much a globalist failure. The more it goes in the direction of an US of E, the less I want to be a part of it. Its slow and hopelessly naiv. The whole re

I am totally fine with 40-hours a week. However, what I am not fine with is people like you speaking for everyone else. You can work less then 40 hours already, volutnarily. But you are not qualified to determine how long other people a

This reminds me of M-x write-thesis RET, a usenet joke from the 90s IIRC. Apparently, since google is no longer indexing the past, I couldn't find a link. However, I still remember the post vividly, and it makes me sad that 25 years

How does a restraining order help with a mentally unstable person? Do you seriously believe in time of crisis, they will remember "Oh yeah, but there is this outstanding restraining order, so I need to calm down"?

Not being able to regain access in exceptional cases is one of the big reasons why I am very weary about being forced to activate 2FA and other auth. It is so nice in theory... But the reality is that many users only use their phone to do

Ahh, austria police. A few years ago, my neighbour had an aggressive episode and ended up telling me "I bring di um". Naiv as I was, I called the police, which promptly answered "Do kemma nix tuan".

I am inclined to not believe that due to my anecdotal evidence. I lost a dear friend at the age of 17 due to him trying the McKenna mushroom dose, and ending up jumping out of the window on the 7th floor. I life in a country where alcohol

Nobody is unfortunately wrong. I know a few real life stories about young boys murdering cats in all sorts of weird and horrifying ways. Some kids are unbelievably cruel.

Agreed, trip reports have become their own art form, and I suspect that a good percentage is actually made up to fit the emerging art form. My favourite example for this is the following: https://erowid.org/experiences&#x2F
