It's seriously awesome that Narcan is now available widely. I'd love to see the price come down somewhat, though. I just checked the site for my local Walgreen's and a 2 pack is $35. $35 on some level seems like a great…
This strongly depends on your definition of proper. I'm currently working in great TS codebase, which was largely architected by one guy, who knows what he's doing and takes grug seriously. It's a really fun and…
I spent several years in my early 20s as a daily smoker, but at some point in the last few years, I crossed some sort of line, and I seemingly can't smoke at all anymore without winding up anxious as hell. Ultimately…
I have one of Fender's Mustang amps, and one feature I really love is that it has a built in audio interface. It sits on my desk and is constantly plugged in to my machine, so if I'm ever noodling and want to start…
We have real, effective tools for dealing with substance abuse that don't involve a giant prison-industrial complex. One of the major problems with prohibition is that it closes off a lot of the avenues we could…
I mean, they do have food there. A $10 gift card would buy a decent breakfast sandwich and a basic coffee, I'm sure a homeless person would appreciate that. Not to mention an excuse to spend a while indoors. I agree…
Whatever they suggest, good luck making sense of it the next day
I had something akin to a religious experience when I saw this for the first time, and reading the explanation blew my mind. One of the coolest things I've ever seen on the internet.
Not in the budget right now, but damned if you didn't just sell me a motorcycle
This is a tough, but worthwhile read. Someone out there is lucky to have this person as a friend.
Devil's probably afraid of him
100% fair, and also right. I started writing that as a kind of dismissive jokey, maybe slightly trolling, thing and then ended up a little more serious as I continued thinking - probably not my most well-argued or…
Let anyone who wants it buy fentanyl, and let natural selection do its work. This is suggested semi-facetiously, but at the same time, feels like there's something to it. Decriminalize, tax, regulate, and focus…
Haha, that is really cool. However this is one of those things where I have no idea how to tell if ChatGPT is bullshitting me because I don't know how to GDB on my own.
I can't disagree about the irresponsibility of the IA when it comes to the Emergency Library stuff. But I for one would be pretty heartbroken to lose access to the absolutely enormous catalog of live shows from a ton of…
IFS is the "Internal Family Systems" model of psychotherapy. I'm coincidentally in the midst of reading No Bad Parts, which was written by the originator, and covers the basic ideas behind the practice and gives some…

> It's wild to me how ostensibly straight dudes got confronted with a little booty-shaking in their superhero story and they were all like "ewwww." I don't really consume MCU stuff, but having seen the scene in…
This is so cool. This is the kind of thing that convinces me that human powered art isn't going anywhere. Sure, AI can pump out nice pictures, but the creativity and vision it takes to make something like this isn't…
I _strongly_ doubt that physical labor jobs like plumbing will be replaced within a few years. I spent a year working in welding automation and folks wildly underestimate the difficulty of automating real physical tasks…
Good for them! I love their podcast.
Please do - Consider Phlebas is good in its own way, but it's a lot different from the rest of the series. Player of Games is a great entry point, but I think Surface Detail might be my favorite. It might be my favorite…
That's just not the case at all. You can certainly buy mods from the Minecraft store (or whatever it's called). But you can also write behavior packs and make skins and textures without paying for anything (besides the…
A quick google suggests nicotine stays in your system for just a few days after quitting. I realize of course that it's hard to just quit nicotine on a whim for a few days, but I imagine most could do it for the sake of…
The city I live in recently passed a ban on "flavored tobacco," which includes (for some reason) vape products. While this ban has not taken effect yet, after it does, the net effect will be that full strength…
