The problem is that they have bought all three systems of government so they can do whatever they want. They own all the media as well. Even something like PBS that is supposed to be more independent is highly dependent on "philanthr

There is growing evidence that long covid is actually CIRS (toxic mold usually from living in water damaged buildings) triggered by covid. Only 25% of people have the genes for CIRS, but then it takes exposure and a immune shock to get your

I think the ironic thing is that although everyone uses powerful technology on a practically constant basis, it is sooooo much more complicated that less and less people have even a clue. How many adults would know how to change their oil t

Dieting is hard and we still under emphasize the mental and emotional aspects of it. I've found that the easier to "be good" at dieting during the 30 minutes of weekly grocery shopping then during every hour of every day at t

While fruits, vegetables and nuts can be pollinated by wind, that won't work at the scale and yields that our aggro-industrial complex needs. If it weren't required, almond growers wouldn't pay to have millions of hives trans

Curious: What about adding a small battery powered WiFi device to your dogs collar? Would that look like a person moving around the house? What about a WiFi controlled mini drone that flew around you house? [Note: this should be illegal]

There are countless studies that billions of people are Vitamin D deficient. Our bodies are designed to get most of that from the sun. Lots of people never even leave their house on a given day. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/

This is a very one sided presentation of the facts. This fact is generally used to suggest that theft is all a liberal blue state issue. The highest felony theft amount in the US is in red Texas and is $2500. Around 40 states have a *HIGHER

The same exact thing happens on BoardGameGeek for board games. A game is announced and people rate it 1 out of 10 because they hate the theme or the it has a digital app to help you play or ..... The game isn't released and no one has

I struggle with Claude fixing a bug and not giving me the updated output. Like explicitly having to ask it for the fix 6 times while it insists the update is in the output. Did you ever have that happen?

This is the right approach. Not just to be grateful in the moment but in the future to be grateful introspectively. Also, paying it forward is the best way to give back and can create long lasting positive ripples.

Gemini has been better than Claude for me on a coding project. Claude kept telling me it update some code but the update wasn't in the output. Like, I had to re-prompt just for updated output 5 times in a row.

Highly dynamic frames makes sense for an immersive game. It doesn't make sense when I'm trying to read my email or what the name of the song that is currently playing is.

Too many in our country are against this because it isn't "fair". Everyone must pull themselves up by their own bootstraps. Homeless is an easy problem to solve and generally not that expensive. It is a political issue no one

I agree. In the end, we trade our time for money and our money for (different) time. There also gets a point where some of these things become "penny wise and pound foolish". I'm reminded of the people who spend 20 minutes dr

I wonder if a scheme where you could "lock in your rates" would work. Instead of just waiting for reassessment or whatever and having no way to know how it will increase in the future or hoping it stays the same for a long time, m
