Surely the most used because of its affordablity and easy access. Coffee, energy drinks, tea, caffiene pills, etc. I wonder what academia would look like if adderall, vyvanse, modafinil were just as accessible, or even less controlled subst

I think about how cool something like this would be, pretty frequently. Hopefully, you have plans on porting the add-on to Safari.

It’s completely fair to draw a line at not giving up consent to be searched and canceling a Costco membership that signs away those rights lines up with that.

It seems older generations, in general, love to extrapolate on their experience as a youth in hopes to offer relatability or advice, but don’t consider how drastic the economic, social, and technological contexts have changed.

Grim is the thought experiment of imagining 1.8 million chicken's being gassed to death. It's nearly psychopathic to think it's not just because human's kill exponentially more everyday. Not to disimiliar to brushing off

Entirely self-supported bike races still exist, but they don't get the publicity and media attention the TdF gets. The Tour Divide and the Trans Am Bike Race are two ultra-endurance races that are self-supported. I would recommend bike

Sorry, edited my post while you were replying. Your underestimating the amount of food cows need to eat a day and likely overestimating global seaweed production in relation to even supply only 1% of cattle feed. 89 millions cows in the US

It’s not a solved problem. This is a hyperbole less accurate than saying vehicle emissions are a solved problem because EV’s exist. Seaweed is not a widespread additive in cattle feed and global production of seaweed would need to drastical

Other countries would import their pork from somewhere else, or produce their own pork, while still selling their computers to Denmark because that’s good business?

I don’t mind this narrative and you’re true in most areas, but home ownership is so tightly correlated with generation OP’s comment in not incorrect. At every age baby boomers were more likely to own a home than millennials at the same age.

This is a fun thing to think about, but commercialization of drugs is antagonistic towards the drugs working around the drug enforcement agencies that technically provide legal highs. Cannabis is the closest thing that’s combining the two.

Needing to add an extra battery to an off grid power supply just to power a “portable” router designed to accept grid power and not 12V is a huge fail on starlinks part, regardless of the cost of the battery to power it. For reference 60w i

The cycling industry and trends are based on processional racing and a chain/derailleur is going to maintain significantly more power transfer at that level than a belt drive or internally geared hub. If Shimano/Sram cared about b

I’d argue fixing a flat on a IGH or fixed gear/single speed is easier than a geared bike. Hardest thing about a single speed is needing the proper tool to remove the axle nuts, but after that take the chain off the cog and the wheel wi
