   It's just important to remember that melatonin, like most all dietary supplements sold in the U.S. is severly under studied. Melatonin is allowed to be sold because it exists in nature, not because it has been proven safe. This is esse

   They're both first generation antihistamines and work as agonists on the H1 receptor, causing sedation. There's no reason to choose one over the other for a first time user, but they can cause rapid tolerance. So, I'm guessin

   Yes, I would use first generation antihistamines like those sparingly as they are anticholergenic. It's more of a long term concern rather than for occasional use. For the low dose melatonin, Life Extension brand sells patented MicroAc

   I tried to make the title a little less hyperbolic than the article starts out, as it's not a published study and it's basically a huge meta analysis that has no other information on age range, dosage, other health problems, etc.

   You might look at ZorinOS or Linux Mint. Mint is very easy to use, I was able to get my elderly mother to use it. It has a software store and built in automatic backups. Zorin has some built in features to support Windows software pretty ea

   I'm honestly surprised they're legally allowed to do that. Isn't Yandex under sanctions and wouldn't paying them money as a US company fall under funding a sanctioned company? EDIT: Apparently not https://law.

   I've never tried turning off the Google fallback results in Brave Search. Maybe I should give it a try to see how well it's doing without.

    This was the model YikYak used and it was so much fun. They very much promoted it for use at colleges for students, but ended up geofence blocking it around high schools/middle schools because of cyberbulling concerns. But, if enough p

    I've found Brave Search to be quite good. You can disable the AI summaries if you prefer. However, I generally find them very helpful. It's, of course, private similar to DDG. They use their own crawler as well as getting results

    It was correct for me when I checked it earlier. I wonder if it's getting hallucinations from running in the same environment and regening every minute. Perhaps a fresh session might come out better.

    The next administration (if there is one) should force Musk to take random drug tests and revoke his ability to run SpaceX on failure. I think we'd get to the bottom of what's going on rather quickly if he didn't have the opp

    There MUST be consequences for data breaches. It simply can't go on like this. There have to be rules & regulations for how personal data is stored. How many of you have received notices in the mail your data has been leaked and th

    If you're in the EU, you should pressure your legislators to do something about it. As I understand it, there are laws against these data breaches for companies doing business in the EU, correct? If that is the case & the law(s)

    I loathe the loss of human customer service and moderation (of social media, online gaming, etc) to AI. I constantly hear reports of AI misidentifying speech in in-game chat that results in people getting banned. As well as getting randomly
