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…
This is not my experience. I find that weed makes my mind wander randomly down all sorts of tracks. Sometimes this can be fun, interesting, and insightful, but it's certainly not a state that helps my already very poor…
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…
Definitely true for me with my most recently acquired hobby of fishing, although I lean extremely heavily towards doing the thing. I had some experience from childhood but I first started "bass fishing" as a hobby last…
Whatever they suggest, good luck making sense of it the next day
I recently switched to a refillable pod "mod," and plan to start tapering down by buying lower percentage vape liquid. Iirc there's two concentrations available in Juul pods, but let's be honest, they don't want you to…
Vaping, I assume. I admit with some shame that after over a decade off cigarettes, I'm currently re-addicted to nicotine via vaping. Over the past 10 years or so, I would buy a pack of smokes every once in a while…
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.
The Name of the Wind I really enjoyed, but be warned - it's part of a trilogy, and the second book was released 12 years ago. News on the supposedly forthcoming third has been sparse, and it seems quite possible that…
I have not, actually, it's been floating around on my to-read list for ages. This trope is all over the place, but the main examples that were floating in my brain when I wrote this comment were The Name of The Wind and…
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…
I recently started a new blog / personal site, replacing an old Jekyll blog I hadn't touched since 2016. This time I decided to just write plain old HTML, with the minor concession of using Tailwind for styling because…
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…
