I believe they were selling software packages that ran due to the modchips that were advertised to enable piracy. Had they not shipped code-signing patches and advertised this as a way to private games, I'm curious if the defense would

That’s exactly the point of the interviews. Companies are looking for some combination of dedicated enough to grind endless problems, moderately high IQ, not “old”, willing to sacrifice for the company, etc. On top of this, managers are oft

This is entirely dependent on whether or not Nestlé MBAs calculate they can make a profit with this bottling "Desert Air Water".

"In the video that filled the screen, several young women in skimpy clothing frolicked on a bed; an overtly sexualized pillow fight ensued." Is this some sort of demo Microsoft released, or something internal? Would be interested

A game where you build and defend forts with other people. Fortnite sort of started like this, but the single player mode was a microtransaction abomination that was more akin to a excel spreadsheet than a game. The beta of battle-royale Fo

Sure, but that's going to be about as rare as finding a mythical high pay, low stress, 0 pip job in famously negative companies. They absolutely exist, but there's almost no point in talking about them.

I'm sure a good chunk of the same people who were "irreparably damaged by COVID" would have been irreparably damaged by diseases such as lyme, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, etc. in another universe.

It depends on a recession and how bad it is. Even if you're locked into a low mortgage, if you lose your job, can't pay, and due to rising interest rates are now underwater 500K on a mortgage, nothing good happens. Like it or not

I suppose the downside here is that lavender reduces testosterone. Then again I’m sure chronic anxiety and stress do as well.

Completely agree. It’s strange to me that this idea, a country taking care of its own citizens first and foremost, is considered an extremist, “xenophobic” policy in this day and age. Love the article as well —- “We need to drive down salar

What? That’s just propaganda — it’s a poem, not a historical record of United States immigration policy. Any county actively seeking to import those in poverty is gonna have a fun time competing on the international stage.

Thanks, interesting to get this perspective. I have seen a lot of interesting research chemicals and nootropics redditors are using, most of which are prescription drugs in Russia (semax, selank, probably others). Shame there doesn't s

Interesting. What's the quality of Russian medical research versus western? What journals are considered prestigious? (Not trying to troll -- I honestly have no idea and can't judge it accurately).

It's sort of a sad indictment of our system, but odds are the pharmacist sees the patient far more than the psychiatrist does.

Emoxypine doesn't seem to have any English studies, or has incredibly few. So it may or may not be useful, but I sure as heck can't tell.

Paying off 200K in debt with a 300K minimum salary is pretty trivial unless you immediately qualify for a 4 million dollar mortgage, buy a BMW, then get divorced six times after med school.

It has plenty of drug interactions. Might as well just try a SSRI if you’re going that route.

The gov hires based on a silly points system, and often, having a masters is the only way to get enough points to make it past the first filter. This would only make sense if you're looking to retire-in-place though.

I’ve been taking flush niacin, which I believe has the same effect at a much lower cost. Flush is really only annoying the first day.

Best part is, I went in to login this morning to check my account and it's down for "system maintenance". At least the government is consistent with running a service that feels like it's out of 1998. I never want to se

Best to limit corticosteroids if you can. Azelastine was approved to go OTC last year and is a half-decent antihistamine nasal spray. Hopefully it will be available stores this summer. Nothing works quite as good as a corticosteroid of cour

These are great. Europe has some even newer 2nd (or "3rd gen") antihistamines such as bilastine and rupatadine. They're apparently even more effective than what we have in the states. Would love to try them out, but unfortuna

Does Valve really have 7 figure bonuses? That's quite impressive if so. Wonder what it would take to get that -- do you have to launch/invent a new, successful microtransaction store? Can't imagine it's easy based on tha

American companies always have bored lawyers on staff, and lawsuits are just day-to-day activities for them. Suing costs the company virtually nothing, while defending against that suit as a private party can be ruinously expensive. The com
