So, did they have any drugs that actually worked besides laudanum and "bark"? My reading of Jack Aubrey books suggests that medicine then was mostly about trauma care and bedside manner.

I am confused. Why would anybody use Discord for anything other than...well, I don't know. I guess the same thing the old Yahoo! chat rooms were for 20 years ago.

Well now I've got that crappy music stuck in my head. That brings up a real mystery from 15 years ago that I never did solve. Back in the day you could go on kongregate or whatever and play these awful flash games that clearly took 30

He must have had you pegged for a sucker. When bums spend their own money they are strictly economical. That means handles of vodka, fortified wine, or (maybe) something like Steel Reserve.

Zero. In the first few years, they would likely trade grain and oil for hard money (gold, silver). Once that played out, much of the effected world would likely have economies similar to the late 19th century--materials extraction, textil

This was a common take, and is the opposite one intended. Both "Threads" and "The Day After" had this problem. A contemporary take: https://lifeinhellarchives.tumblr.com/image/176779648696 You see

Everybody gets to run their own business as they please. I would insist on clear communications in all dealings. I am not going to try to interpret anybody's hieroglyphics, no matter how much fun I might miss out on.

Well, people would like the Bill of Rights to be "selectively enforced" like all federal laws.

Their assets were worth less than they owed depositors. An auction would have caused a 30 percent or so loss to many millionaires.

Check out Miles Davis critiquing some poor kid after a performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCTirrJ1Gms&t=1421s It's not quite as bad as I remember it, but man he could be an ass.

They are more likely to nuke the people backing Prigozhin rather than anything in Russia itself.

Why in hell would they send out search boats at all? I can't fathom the stupidity it would take to help invaders invade your country. And by the way, the vacation company will likely get a fat bill from the Coast Guards.

Some people just insist on getting trolled. You explain out what trolling is, what it looks like, the purpose of it (wasting your time involving you in hopeless arguments for their own amusement). And they still insist on getting trol

It's not all about rich people switching their portfolios around. When rates rise, operating expenses for companies go up, and so they pass that cost down. This is a bigger deal for companies perennially in debt than startups.

I wonder what the methodology is. If I mail a copy of "The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History" to some NYC school, and they decline to devote library space to it, does that mean it's "banned"? Or does

Agree completely. Get rid of all the large-sub mods, replace them with paid moderators who are instructed to only remove spam and illegal content. Giant, giant improvement. The mods as they are just power trip on their own politics. Why

Reddit pushes its own app so hard--so obnoxiously hard--that I can't imagine they are terribly concerned about any of this. And, come on. They can charge what they want for their dogs-squeezed-into-guitar-cases library of content. W

I think the WTC webcam is pretty neat: https://www.earthcam.com/usa/newyork/worldtradecenter/?cam=s... It looks like a rust-only paint swathes.

Yeah, that never made any sense. Is there any add-on that basically...forces websites to adhere to the browser-configured cookie settings? And if any popups contain the word "cookie" to basically just remove the element? If it

It's fair to the extent that anyone can drop out and have the remaining workers pay for their livelihood. As more people do this, the more rational it becomes, and the closer to economic collapse we get.

The solution to people not wanting their neighborhoods destroyed is to destroy them anyway. You are properly understood. "Aberfeldy Village" is apparently a poor area, and so the ruling class just kind-of exasperatedly assumes th
