Water is a great solvent! And, I'm sure you could use unscented soap if you wanted to. (I just use water) Anyway, if water won't wash the food clean, then one may as well not shop at the grocery store.

Sorry--I don't understand the risk. Are you concerned about germs? Pesticides? Other?

I thought it was all PLA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingeo I think there's also "biodegradable" plastic which has cornstarch in it which allows bacteria to degrade it, but that's not the same thi

I quit using bags for produce--I just put the produce in my basket or cart and then straight into the checkout bag on my way out of the store. The exception is small loose produce like snap peas.

My understanding (without data, sorry) is that the conservative position blames drug addiction on bad choices and evil, rather than circumstances. As well the focus is on authoritarian policing as opposed to “harm reduction”. These are gene

I think there’s a deep fundamental psychosis of the right wing to get the world back to “survival of the fittest”. If you die of PFAs, poverty, other pollution, well then that’s just bad luck for you. They just don’t believe in a society th

Cool project. I've referred people to Orca before--and the lack of "built in instruments" (and maybe the flow visualization) was a stumbling block. This feels more "consumer friendly" :)

I remember reading that high precision timers can be used for browser fingerprinting and/or for timing attacks, but I didn't anything specifically about setTimeout()/setInterval() after searching a bit. Also--loosening the ac

It's fascistic nihilism. They want brown people out of the country and money in their own pockets. If their out group suffers, what does it matter? If the economy crashes, or US world standing falls, who cares? What use is American ide

What I really want to do, specifically, is take your money and give it away. Hope that helps.

Curious what percentage of school districts fall into this purported category. And is that number continually increasing? Share some data on this please.

That's not a point, actually. The only people who haven't thought this through are libertarians. The government does lots of things well. That's why those in power are trying to destroy it right now. Here's where you go

But does that mean we shouldn't raise taxes? "Effective Income Tax Rates Have Fallen for The Top One Percent Since World War II" https://taxpolicycenter.org/taxvox/effective-income-tax-rate...

Absolutely--This was just an example that came to mind in the moment.

Are you're saying nominal tax rates have no correlation to effective tax rates? (Also, I am in favor of closing tax loopholes.)

The bad part is that congress is bought so cheaply. Not with billions. Under our current system you have to be daft to not invest in buying the government--it's a great return on your investment!

As well as tax like we used to in the 50s. (Ok, we can argue about the specifics, but you get the idea)

Taxation = losing control of your business? Sounds a little hyperbolic. But explain more what you mean?

Wonder how this compares to combining pointers with indices (effectively): Allocate your nodes in contiguous memory, but use pointers to refer to them instead of indices. This would remove an indirect reference when resolving node reference
