On the other side of the coin: have a kid with epilepsy. After learning about possible effects of K448/Mozart's sonata in D Major, we keep a copy of it on all our phones, and it does seem to relax him when he is having a seizure.

Me, too! Use mostly Jetbrains these days, but we've been standing up some windows servers, and putting NPP on them - which reminded me of Scintilla: wrote my own turbo-charged IDE on top of it ~22 years ago. That secret sauce led to lo

Blew my mind that I could install Teams in Ubuntu. Was both amazed (MS compiling for Linux) and disgusted (MS compiling for Linux). Though it unfortunately broke with Wayland, so had to move my work machine to Windows using WSL.

Maybe not a useful statistic, but it's definitely 100% not harmless in the correct dosage. It has been successfully used for both murder and suicide. Being water-soluble, just soak tobacco leaves in water and you'll eventually be
