I didn't go high tech like that. I just went to home depot and bought some cheap tubing, fittings, pressure compensating drippers (which auto-regulate the flow), stakes, and a 3-way Orbit timer. They have free catalog at the store, whi

Except of course it's pretty difficult to consume 10x the amount of alcohol without puking, and people develop tolerance to morphine, which shrinks the safety margin, and makes it dangerous if a formerly "normal" dose is inje

My parents had a rather large garden (I wouldn't call it a farm), and we grew 3 crops a year in it. As a kid/teenager I hated it at the time, since they made me work there. Fast forward 30 years I have a bunch of raised beds in my

Yes. People in the thread suggest it should be "cheap" and "available at Walgreens".

Fascinating indeed, especially considering that legalizing MJ nationwide would easily add a few percentage points to their ratings, and they don't even have to do anything - just get it de-scheduled and strike out the statutes criminal

It's a weasel statistic. 75% of people try it once or twice and "don't get addicted". Those who partake with some regularity are almost guaranteed to get addicted. We're losing tens of thousands of people in this co

I'm in full agreement with you there. I see no reason to jail people for taking non-addictive psychoactive substances. I voted to legalize pot in my state (measure did pass), even though I'm not a user myself. IMO, pot, for exampl

> A great number of people can and have used And a great number of people have died because of this use. I mean, are you really going to argue that it is possible to have a "normal" life and take heroin or meth at the same time

A lot more people would die of heroin if it was "cheap" and available. It's very easy to OD with it. Not to mention it turns anyone into a junkie in the span of a few weeks, and it's _very_ difficult to get off it. There

You do. Absent onerous Western regulations nuclear power is economically viable, especially if you don't build a custom design for every plant, and build a lot of them.

You don't build coal fired power plants if your goal is to reduce pollution.

Without China (which is a part of the accord, but doesn't have to cut its emissions until 2030, a loophole they're actively using to build insane numbers of coal power plants - whatever their CO2 emissions are in 2030 becomes thei

Ability to ignore one's own hypocrisy is the main manifestation of power. Rules for thee but not for me.

This is relatively recent. My HP printer from 15 years ago is excellent and it's still going strong. Anything I can buy today would be a de-facto downgrade.

"Google" and "privacy-preserving" should not be used in the context of the same article. Basically, the most fervent wish of Google is to reliably tie the "real world" to online tracking. Giving them your drive

Solving this problem is not worth the effort at this point. They will all have competition by the end of 2021 in the form of Starlink, which itself will have competition within a couple of years from whatever Bezos is launching. Then there

It's irrational how much I want this. I don't need it. I already have an absurd number of computers, even more absurd if I include all the SBCs scattered around. And yet I want this anyway.

Those people aren't users of Vim. Users of Vim use it _because_ it's modal, not in spite of the fact. There's scarcely any other reason to use it.

I can guess why this is. You're probably fighting it instead of embracing it, or perhaps have unrealistic expectations for yourself. Embrace it, and understand it's OK to not know every single thing. I doubt that's even possi

by m0zg 6y ago
Yeah. The section that compares it to Vim seems to misunderstand that people actually _like_ the modal nature of Vim, and that it's one of its main advantages.

I think we need to work towards the future where DVCS's are _distributed_ and federated. Every time you give anyone centralized control, they will abuse it. I'm not aware of any exceptions.

I'd like to point out that men also interrupt men, and women interrupt both men and women. Especially nerds. I'm a bit socially awkward, so I can never tell when it is a good time to start speaking. As a result I interrupt other p
