   I’m gonna start referring to my own lies as “hallucinations”. I like the implication that I’m not lying, but rather speaking truthfully, sincerely, and confidently about things that never happened and/or don’t exist. Seems paradoxical,

   Is it really that complicated? I'm not sure the slippery slope towards a potential future with too-generic porn faces is really all that convincing against the very real and ongoing mass distribution of a nascent, poorly regulated (or

    In this context? Certainly. This is more examples of their using untested, uncertified equipment. Anyone who’s ever worked in O2-enriched pressurized environments should at least be instantly concerned about whether this device had been pro

    The Teensy wasn’t engineered, tested, rated, or certified for any sort of continuous duty, let alone within a pressurized O2-enriched environment (assuming it was inside the vessel), especially not within deep sea Helium-enriched environmen

    I bet it’d be so popular, we would set aside a whole Federal holiday to commemorate all of the people who fought, and/or died, to win these basic labor protections 100-years ago! We’ll call it “Labor Day” and everyone will eat hot dogs

    I’ve got a brilliant idea! What if, hear me out, we had some kind of united alliance of workers, and they could do things like leverage their collective labor power to negotiate better working conditions and/or pay? We might call the

    Thanks for this! I have moved 90%+ of my daily media consumption to FreshRSS, and despite the up-front effort, it's been well worth it. I find that a very simple, chronological, purely opt-in approach has improved my mental health, and

    I had a teacher in high school, Mr. Miller, he taught the history half of World Humanities. On the first day of school, he passed out a Far Side comic he'd printed off to everyone, and said confidently that if we did not find that cart

    Presumably the volatility inherent to “volatile chemicals” makes it challenging to reproduce on-demand. I’d imagine you’d need something like dozens of base compounds, alcohols and acids to create esters and carrier media, some way of prote
