> We're all vaccinated afaik (myself with 5 jabs), and thankfully we only got mild symptoms

You got the shot 5 times, still caught it, and you call it a vaccine...

Serious question. How do you keep making the decision to get the shot?

Consumer masks don't work. And N95s are way too problematic to worth their use in general settings. In fact, prolonged use leads to many issues including cognitive impairment especially in children.

Looks like a federal judge felt that the US Government was overstepping and "seems to have assumed a role similar to an Orwellian ‘Ministry of Truth" and decided to block them from engaging in the censorship behavior.

The US has been involved in countless wars, coups, and atrocities. Would you feel the same way if this action was taken against US citizens?

Also worth noting is the winner lives in Belarus. Which is not a blocked country.

Would liquid pool up as you melt the ice? I guess you'd need to pump it out. Is that even possible at that depth? The liquid might boil on the way up.

superhumanuser··on I rented a Tesla for a month. It was a giant pain in the a*
I returned my S90 at the end of a two year lease. The self driving was frightening. It often drifted out of the lines then would jerk back into the lane then disable itself without warning.

Also, the start/stop (or w/e it's called whereby the engine turns off when you stop) was such a jerky experience and sometimes it would turn off before I even came to a complete stop.

The infotainment system was terribly slow and would take almost a minute after starting for it to become responsive. Typing into the nav was especially sluggish and unintuitive. One time the AC crashed (not the HVAC unit, the computer module) and I had to take it in for a software update to fix.

The luxury, look and feel, and comfort were fabulous! The drivetrain and tech were trash!

superhumanuser··on Searching for “notepad” on DuckDuckGo yields zero results
They used to have this thing where developers could build Instant Answers through a program called DuckDuckHack.

It would load a carousel at the top with results for like jobs, recipes, etc.

It used regex to match the search query. Looks like they have a bad one.

superhumanuser··on X/Twitter has updated its terms of service to let it use posts for AI training
My favorite time on Hacker News was reading all the quasi-fortune tellers and intellectuals say his $44B bid for Twitter was never going to go through, either through his withdrawal or being rejected by the board. They were so set in their hubris that the only debate was whether the SEC was going to sue him after the bid inevitably fell through.

> if a thing is not immediately obvious without studying then we should remain ignorant of it.

I'm not sure if you're willfully ignorant or just saw an opportunity to pass a pejorative and took it.

I didn't say we should "ignore it". I said we shouldn't allow scientists to exclusively decide what should or should not be legal.

superhumanuser··on New study finds microplastics infiltrate all systems of body, alter behaviour
Scientists are wrong... a lot.

The harm should be obvious to the layman IMHO in order to be legislated away. Otherwise, it should be left up to personal choice.

I haven't used Reddit since RIF shut down.

I admit I used to spend hours a day on Reddit. Searching for info, random browsing, gaming advice, etc.

I've got all that time back. I am pleasantly surprised that I don't miss it.

I thought I'd feel something, surely. I thought I had a relationship with the content. I don't. I didn't.
