I can't get mine to start a stopwatch anymore.

If you just want An investment vehicle, the easiest way is probably a gold ETF like GLDM

Kagi is starting down that path

The real issue to me isn’t whether something is labeled a chemical weapon—it’s the fact that police operate with less stringent rules than paramilitaries.

One day you’re just trying to figure out if there’s any fresh coffee in the break room down the hall, the next day you’ve invented the webcam.

It reminds me of Motel of Mysteries by David Macaulay. In the 4000s an archeologist finds a perfectly preserved motel room. The book is his sketches and field notes on the contents of the room. Every conclusion drawn is wrong and somewhat humorous. A read through it will really change your views on archeology.

The benheck forums are the reason I work in tech. It was a great community. A lot of the people working on these projects today are former members. The most notable was Palmer Luckey who went on to found Oculus.

What’s your peanut butter recipe? I’d never really considered making my own.

If you’re interested in ecology in science fiction you should give Kill Decision by Daniel Suarez a read. It’s not about ants specifically, but they play a large roll in a way (I don’t want to spoil too much and it’s been long enough since I read it I can’t remember what’s a spoiler or not). It’s a good read.

It used to have SMS support but they yanked it maybe a year or so ago. The big issue on the user end was, if someone deleted Signal and you used Signal for your SMS, it would keep sending them signal messages and not SMS. So you were left not realizing you were texting essentially a dead number.

I’ve done a bit of research but never given it an honest go. I think you’ve inspired me to give it a try. Thanks for the idea

Funny you mention it, I do have mild tinnitus. It’s also interesting to mentioned Zyrtec. There’s a whole subset of cluster research/sufferers that call them histamine headaches. I’ve wanted to explore anti histamines as a treatment but now that I have mine under control I hate to rock the boat. I know the psychedelics part is a lot, but there are several ways to tackle it. Growing magic mushrooms is very easy. Some people are also experimenting with LSA, which naturally occurs in seeds you can get online. I haven’t tried it but I imagine it could be effective. Another option I’ve considered is magic truffles. They’re legal in a lot of places due to their obscurity, but they contain psilocybin just like mushrooms. A micro dose that’s almost non perceptible every few months is enough to buy me years without headaches. It’s seriously amazing. Several well respected research hospitals and universities are digging into it right now. There’s definitely something to it. I imagine it has to do with the fact that they’re linking up with your 5-HT2A serotonin receptors. I believe they’re the same receptors that common anti migraine medicines bind to. Both psychedelics and migraine medicines fall into the triptan category of drugs. I’m definitely not a medical researcher and it’s been awhile since I did a deep dive on all this, so please verify/research anything I’m saying, but I hope I can at least point you in some of the right directions.

One last thing worth looking into is the link between vasodilation and cluster headaches. There seems to be a direct link. I think some of the theories are that the dilation of the major blood vessels in your brain pushes down on nerves like your occipital nerve. That seems to track with the areas I experience the most pain. I’ve experimented in the past with vasoconstrictors as a way to ease the pain. Both caffeine and psychedelics are vasoconstrictors for example. And they seem to be the two most agreed upon remedies. I believe exercise is also a vasoconstrictor, which may be why intense cardio seems to help me when the headaches start to come on.

This supplement stack + oxygen + verapamil + magic mushrooms has turned clusters into almost a non issue for me. I went through several years of being too broke to really address them, and too pig headed to think something as simple as vitamin D would help. But my last set of clusters was a walk in the park compared to the ones before it.

If you decide to try Verapamil make sure you get the extended release pills. I don’t have the link handy but you can find research journal articles that help nail down dosage. As for the oxygen, you may have to get your own regulator and mask to get what you need. 15lpm and a rebreather mask works amazingly for me. If your doctor is difficult about it just get them to write a script for oxygen, find a local supplier and pay out of pocket. It was only $80 to rent the tanks I needed to get me through my last cluster season.

A couple of home remedies I’ve tested and found effective were cardio and putting my feet in some super hot water. Both sound silly but seem to work in my experience. So if you don’t have the other stuff yet, or aren’t able to get to it in time, give either a try. I do burpees as soon as I feel one coming one (and after I’ve chugged a 5 hour energy).

The last and most effective solution is LSD or Magic mushrooms. If you micro dose then periodically you can go a lot longer between cluster headaches. A tiny bit of mushroom also seems to work as an abortive for me when I feel one coming on.

I’m still experimenting and learning. But hopefully this info may give you some things to research or try (assuming you haven’t already, but I’d much rather share this information repetitively then not share something that could help you).

Feel free to reach out if you ever want to chat. Always down to provide research I’ve found out just lend an ear, I know how debilitating and isolating they can be.

In some states the average public defender can be taking on case loads of 400 cases in a year. Without the resources to hire expert witnesses, or the time to do a deep dive into a case, the most logical thing you can do as a public defender is take the plea bargain and minimize how much time your client will spend incarcerated. It’s a system of coercion. The DA throws spaghetti at the wall, we overwork public defenders almost forcing them to recommend the defendants plea out, and as a result, incarcerate more people than any other nation. It’s sick

I wish I could remember which book I read it in, but in one counties lawyers joined together and refused all plea bargains. It almost instantly collapsed the legal system in their county and caused a multi year backlog. Our legal system is no longer setup to provide all people the right to a fair trial, we simply don’t provide the resources for it anymore.

Hu80 linked to what he uses. http://www.kiwix.org/. Not sure if you will get a notification or not since he replied to my comment.

Thank you!

New tab guy reporting in. I just open a few articles at a time, and go to the comments if I feel I need more input on the issue. I haven't noticed it impacting my workflow. I've used RES on and off, but when I install a new browser I always forget to add it, and rarely miss it.

Perfect, keep up the great work.I'm glad to hear of your project.The Alexa and accompanying hardware/software is one of the few non FOSS things I rely on within my home. I can't wait for a viable alternative!

Cool thanks for the reply. If you find something better and get a chance, let me know, I'd be very appreciative. I'll take a look this evening and let you know if I find anything.

How is one supposed to browse these files once un-zipped? I will be honest and admit I am ignorant to XML and had trouble finding a solution after some quick googling. Any help would be appreciated.

Will this have the ability to replace an Alexa in terms of smart home integration/automation?

I've had great luck with this wireless card. Works out of the box on any linux distro I've used it with. I bought it specifically for its aircrack compatibility (packet injection and monitor mode).

although some of the reviews seem to indicate there may have been a change in chipset/drivers. I wish you luck!

That does not seem to be the case for me within Chrome, Firefox or Internet Explorer.

Thank you!

What is the encryption standard being used for file encryption?

Thank you for the recommendation. I've been looking for some good technical podcasts. Would there be any others that you would recommend?

There are very few things in my life that are as productive as the gym. It helps my memory, my mental well being, my cognition and my health. I'm unsure of why you don't consider exercise to be useful. Can you explain? Below I have included a quote and link to a study that looks into exercises effects on cognition. As for people's zealousness for exercise on this site, I think its a result of people wanting to help others. For many, getting into exercise was the single best decision they felt they've made in their life. And since almost anyone can make that change, and do it for free, they're trying to spread the news. If I spend the time to recommend something as small and inconsequential as an application to someone, it seems absurd that I wouldn't recommend something like exercise. But that's just my two cents

"The evidence accumulated so far indicates that exercise is a strong promoter of cognitive health in humans. "
