picofarad··on Ghost Font: A font that humans can read but AI cannot
Hackernews is very good at finding the decoy message. This is as funny as thedailywtf posters who post "code snippets" to fix some other code snippet, and every single code snippet is wrong.
picofarad··on Train sim created by just one person is being called the best ever made
I wrote about 10 albums and my music generally got better over time, but I just stopped writing because I had children; also less time for creativity with a family.

If I were forced to write music, now, for money or whatever, it would be bad music.

picofarad··on Anyone else get a vague GitHub shakedown notice?
Yeah, as far as I know. Also github doesn't have my real name, for instance. I am sure they could know it, but I never agreed to any billing, either.

7-OH, then? Its much stronger, and doses aren't standardized. If I take a half tablet as suggested I'll just evacuate it within an hour. Quarter tablet is hard to cut, so doses are inconsistent. Its an awful product, the way it is sold.

It does, I saw it in Houston this past weekend on android auto and google maps, "police reported ahead; still there [yes] [no]"
picofarad··on Global review confirms mRNA vaccines are safe, effective and full of promise 
Right, the Pfizer trial went way worse, removing people from the study for catching the disease, etc.

> pretty sad friendless hole not to know friends or family who ended up in hospital during the peaks.

I am unsure what fallacy this is, but it is pretty offensive.

Why do people keep saying 22? There's more than 22 videos of people suddenly falling to the ground after the vaccine mandates.

Does no one remember? I can't be the only one...

Oh, you made a category error, I think. Flu has variants and they sometimes "predict" which variant to prepare for incorrectly, but as far as I am aware the flu vaccine is very effective against the correct strain.

Vaccine the word came from vacca for "cow", and cowpox virus being weakened and injected to prevent cowpox.

MRNA is not weakened virus, it's a spike protein in this case.

Or so that's the argument.

Concord, the single largest failure by a game company (and really, most other companies too, except maybe movie studios lately). Wasn't that the backlash?
picofarad··on I used Claude Code to get a second opinion on my MRI
I recently discovered I am allergic to hydrocodone and codeine, and the effort I had to go through to get oxy instead was stressful and I felt I had to bring all of the extra pills with me everywhere to show I wasn't drug seeking or selling them. And I pointed out that inwaa shooting myself in the foot for all future desires by asserting I am allergic.

P. S. Opiates work, very well. If you tale one and it doesn't work, you might also be allergic. Hydro didnt really work, then itching and puking started after 2 days of untouched pain(essentially, a reduction of 2 points). Codeine nausea.

I wasn't aware of the possibility.

You'd have to stop importing the things you're not paying people enough to produce, otherwise your own products will be more expensive than the next nation over that has no qualms about poor pay for agriculture or whatever.

It all sounds great until the last 40+ years goes away, with the apples year round and bananas, etc.

Going back to just what you can produce in your country is gunna be a rude awakening for billions.

This is one of those things that will start a fight at a beach party so I'm just goongtto forget the two tenuous studies the FDA used to stand up the guidelines.

Seed oil is healthier than milk fat? Going to need some framing definitions, here...

Offhand, what was the overdose level? Because 150ng/ml (adjust if I messed units up) isnt an overdose and most people are around ~50 unless they supplement (I mean people outside the 25th parallel.) I think even approaching 300ng/ml is possibly safe as long as you're accounting for the calcium.

I aim to be around 105ng/ml.

"Just think your way out of ADD" is a take, for sure.

You didnt need the corning one, though, that's an electrically isolated cable, maybe thunderbolt can't go far unless it is media translated to optical, but I am unsure.

picofarad··on Flock-Powered Police Chiefs Stalking Women Shows Why Warrants Are Needed
I have driven that fast twice, and, yeah, you're right. There's no way, the roads in the United States, and I'm sure wherever that is, are not good enough to go 160 for any length of time. I'm hard-pressed to think of a road I could do a quarter-mile or half-mile on!
picofarad··on Flock-Powered Police Chiefs Stalking Women Shows Why Warrants Are Needed
I don't understand the question, and I'm not who you asked, but I think that those are two completely different things. It is our right to protest, and it says nothing about having to give up our anonymity to do so.
picofarad··on Flock-Powered Police Chiefs Stalking Women Shows Why Warrants Are Needed
Is that considered exigent or like well we just noticed it anyway because I know that there's case law that says like if the cops barged into your house and you have drugs on the table they can arrest you even if they didn't have a warrant to enter your house.
picofarad··on Flock-Powered Police Chiefs Stalking Women Shows Why Warrants Are Needed
Oh, well that settles it then. There's no point in arguing about it. It's okay to record in public, right? So it's fine. We should all be fine with Flock. What they're doing is perfectly fine and okay. Because it's okay to record in public.

What's your source for the "no, quite a lot of people believe the opposite."? Is it a Chicago suburb?
