Coke never went away but the quality went down substantially, not aided by the fact that it's all produced in the jungle under some guys plastic boots who just eyeballs the reagents used to make the end product. So you'll never ge

Coke's reputation is WAY worse than what it deserves. I guarantee you these "I tried it a few times and can't stop thinking about it" stories are complete BS. The effects are very short lived and the more you take the mo

Once a review is done, it can help to sit with the person to avoid an endless back & forth via whatever app's hosting your repo. In my experience developers usually just put aside 1-2 moments per day to spend on reviews, so if ther

The absolute best medical prophylactic is taking paracetamol before going to bed after a heavy night of drinking.

Helmets don't protect against wind noise, can actually make it worse if you're using one that has a sun visor. Every time I'm going "flat out" (not inner city) I wear ear plugs and seriously regret it if I forget th

They exist here as well. As a cyclist they don't make me feel very safe - when driving a car I've noticed that cyclists are often hidden from view by the cars in front of you and only "appear" two cars ahead of you. Ever

Whatever you do in traffic, be very careful. I'm still driving a car and inner city traffic is basically slaloming between cyclists. If something goes wrong, only one of us will end up in hospital. I do also ride my bike on weekends ha

Most if not all electric bikes here in EU won't get close to those speeds, regardless of your fitness. I don't think it's even allowed. If it's capable of doing 50KPH it should be treated as a motorcycle, away from other

When getting your motorcycle license here in Belgium they teach you to always take the lane. Ride 3/4 of the way in. If you give the car some space, they'll drive closer to you, try to pass and then get impatient & aggressive

If I remember correctly every sale of Pegasus requires an export license and is therefore subject to approval by the Israeli govt. They don't seem to care much for human rights activists and journalists but assuming every unpatched sma

Israel is just better friends with the US than Middle Eastern states are. Nothing antisemitic or sinister. No need to get all conspiratorial about it.

Slightly OT - Isn't it obvious that NSO must be able to control every "copy" of Pegasus it sells? They wouldn't sell it unless they were absolutely sure it wouldn't be used against its own people and they have no pr

You can give Codeine or Tramadol, which are opiates that produce no "high" when taken in standard therapeutic doses. People do abuse them by taking a whole box at once, but you won't end up in a scenario like in OP's sto

What's complicated is that it's not really the drugs, it's the fact that people experience their lives in such a miserable way that oblivion through opiates is a better option. IMHO this is because of alienation, a loss of co
