comrh··on Scientists, Not Doing Science
Sure a totally unbiased source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noah_Carl
comrh··on Learn to sew your own outdoor gear
Awesome! Is there anything stopping using this for wood too? Any problems with vibrations messing with the cuts (like from walking around it)?
comrh··on Saskatoon Freezing Deaths
Freezing murders would be more accurate
comrh··on US library defunded after refusing to censor authors
In a township of 3,000 - 62% voted against funding the library the vote was held in. I think there was no Democrat running in the entire county (https://www.hollandsentinel.com/elections/results/local/2022...).
comrh··on Sitting and standing at work (2015)
I haven't been able to programming standing but having all zoom meetings standing has been doable.
comrh··on Blackmail attempt left a Houston restaurant bombarded with 1-star reviews
so if you run a shitty business or a scam you just don't opt in?
comrh··on Ask HN: What's your favorite board game?
My friends and I have moved away from SoC because the haggling that arises takes forever. Ticket to Ride scratches a similar itch with planning and competing over resources (train lines, cards) but gives each player a single action per turn so it moves much quicker.

Nothing beats chess for me though because of the infinite replay value and strategy depth.

comrh··on Anti-Abortion Centers Find Pregnant Teens Online, Then Save Their Data
Ooof, no HN comments before coffee. Thanks.

The 2̵0̵1̵8̵ election of Trump led to these judges as he appointed three of them.

> Republicans won a majority of the Congressional popular vote in 2016

And then lost the popular vote in 2018 and 2020. Not sure why 2016 would be particularly relevant

comrh··on Sleeping longer than 6.5 hours/day can help you lose weight: study
I've had the same effect from marijuana which I attribute to weed likely reducing REM sleep
comrh··on Kickstarter Union voted 97.6% to ratify one of the first tech union contracts
Have you heard some of the horror stories from the game industry?
comrh··on SpaceX said to fire employees involved in letter rebuking Elon Musk
This is such an astute and concise description of one of the reasons we're currently living in this bizarro world. It can be applied across American culture, to both sides of the political divide, and even brands are beginning to do this.
comrh··on Japan passes revised penal code with harsher punishment for cyberbullying
That really undersells how horrible targeted harassment of a person and everyone that person knows can be.

> The degree to which the effect of the cause is typical matters a lot in designing legislation or making fair decisions that apply equally to everyone.

I think this was added after I replied. I would certainly agree this legislation is overly broad and probably not helpful. At first I thought you were arguing cyberbullying could only be a matter of life and death if you had a "mental disorder".

comrh··on Lead poisoning probably did not cause the downfall of the Roman Empire
I always thought favoring biological heirs was up there too. The Five Good Emperors were all adopted and some of the absolute worst leaders only got there through luck of birth.
comrh··on Lead poisoning probably did not cause the downfall of the Roman Empire
One thing I really got out of the History of Rome podcast by Mike Duncan is if anyone tells you there was ONE cause of the fall of Rome, they're full of crap.
comrh··on Vladimir Putin, in speech, hints at further territorial expansion for Russia
Seems like saber rattling. With Sweden and Finland on the path to join NATO, where would Russia even expand? And with their military bogged down in Ukraine, how would they even expand?
comrh··on Why are nuclear power construction costs so high?
I think the discrepancy is not all the thermal output is converted to electricity:

> A1B reactors likely produce enough steam to generate 125 megawatts (168,000 hp) of electricity, plus 350,000 shaft horsepower (260 MW) to power the four propeller shafts.

comrh··on U.S. death rates show how politics are affecting public health
We've also made great reductions in smoking

> Current smoking has declined from 20.9% (nearly 21 of every 100 adults) in 2005 to 12.5% (nearly 13 of every 100 adults) in 2020 (CDC)

comrh··on Ask HN: What game do you wish existed?
As well as "Hell Let Loose" which is basically WW2 Squad but also uses the Commander position.
comrh··on Ask HN: What game do you wish existed?
Makes me think of the Counter Strike map de_rats where you fought over the fridge, could hide in walls, use sponges as landing pads and iirc blow up the sink.
comrh··on Why is it traitorous to understand the people you disagree with?
There are plenty of examples, do your research https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2022-04-08/red-states...
comrh··on Bad government policy is fueling the infant formula shortage
I would support standardizing labeling and inspection requirements with the EU. I don't support more half measure executive orders that expand the executive branch's power because Congress is too broken to do anything... but I digress.
comrh··on Bad government policy is fueling the infant formula shortage
Florida and New York have come together and agreed on labeling and inspection. There's nothing stopping the US and Germany from doing the same.
comrh··on Finland will seek NATO membership immediately
It's bipartisan but not completely. There are elements on the right with the "it's not our problem, leave Ukraine to it's fate" point of view.
comrh··on How rare is a Supreme Court breach? Very rare
How about, "lost credibility by overturning 50 year old precedent, that was reaffirmed 30 years ago, that a member of the current court even said was "settled law" in his confirmation hearings only 4 years ago" ?
comrh··on How rare is a Supreme Court breach? Very rare
Individual countries have passed laws protecting gay marriage or had restrictions struck down in the courts though.
comrh··on Military mulls recruiting plan to enlist college athletes
We'll never know cause there was an intentional coverup

> Jones reported that members of Tillman's unit burned his body armor and uniform in an apparent attempt to hide the fact that he was killed by friendly fire.[29] His notebook, in which, according to author Jon Krakauer, Tillman had recorded some of his thoughts on Afghanistan, was also burned

comrh··on Tell HN: Turned 44 today and I'm lost
Ask them, it's common now for them to advertise their approach (CBT, DBT, psychoanalysis, ect)
comrh··on Ask HN: What hyper-focused industry newsletters do you enjoy?
As an aside is there a better way to consume these newsletters than email or unroll?
