I have a TCL so maybe it's different, but did your TVs require connection to set up?

The TCL can still act as a HDMI switch with CEC, and that can be labeled through the remote if you want, so there was never any need to connect to a network.

Yes, it is an issue.

One of the big problems with anesthesia is balancing respiratory depression while medicating the patient enough to manage the symptoms. Fentanyl is used in anesthesia and it causes respiratory depression.

A strong pain medication that doesn't slow or stop breathing would significantly improve the safety of anesthesia.

I wonder if this modification brings it closer to the mitragynine from kratom, which has opiate like pain dulling effects with very minor or no effect on breathing.

I hope so because the administration is looking to really fuck over medical research by making the 7-OH stuff a schedule 1 narcotic, when it has so much potential for improving anesthesia and pain management by removing respiratory depression from the pain killing element of the anesthetic cocktail.

Lotus root is pretty common. A crunchy tuber that keeps its texture after cooking, bland taste, unique visual appeal. I threw some in the last pot of bean chili my family made, and the kids liked it.

Seeing my neighbors gathering ginkgo nuts made me curious enough to try them, and I waded right in without understanding the risks! TLDR— they're not a great food source. It's yet another one of those cases where you have to wonder what "delicacy" means.

The actual fruit (looks like a rotten plum, smells terrible) has ginkgolic acids which cause contact dermatitis (think poison ivy).

Then the nuts themselves contain Ginkgotoxin, which interferes with your B6, screwing up your nervous system and causing seizures. Cooking reduces but does not eliminate Ginkgotoxin.

I only ate one, and ate it raw. It was a delightful texture, but tasted like chewing random plant matter. Like leaves from a tree. Was maybe half a cubic centimeter of matter. Escaped any ill effects.

According to my research, kids can have seizures from as few as 10 nuts, which would probably be like 1.5 spoonfuls if you mashed them up. The guidelines I found don't seem very scientific but supposedly a kid can safely handle 3-5 nuts over the course of a day, and an adult could handle 5-10. So it doesn't seem like there is a good margin of safety.

Overall a real risk to health for an insignificant amount of food that doesn't taste special. But a nice texture.

How much did it help? How far have you ascended?

Placing them underwater means you get free, unlimited cooling.

Exactly the opposite of space, where all cooling must happen through radiation, which is expensive/inefficient

It's a remarkable tragedy how many people don't understand your point.

Too many people think your life is a binary 'living or dead' when thats not the case at all. I didn't even understand it fully till I was hit by a car.

I'm not disagreeing with your overall take, but Tesla and other EV manufacturers have released the same model of vehicle with different battery technologies at different times. Only saying that dropping 4680 production isn't conclusive proof itself.

That analogy doesn't fit the situation of a social contract not being fulfilled, and your overall point is extremely antisocial.

You appear to be saying if one person or group fails to uphold their obligation to you at any time, you are thereafter released from your obligation to the rest of humanity.

Whats the high horse? Was there anything illogical or even exaggerated in what I've written?

This makes sense if you are ok with your life making the world a worse place. Other people want to try and make it nicer.

You're not securing your banking details from the bank. The people running the elections are a probable adversary during elections, though.

That makes software really unsuitable.

It can be a bit tricky to attribute the product of an entire company to the CEO... even if the CEO is a founder!

I agree it makes using my computer worse, but I'd like to see how far Apple is willing to go here.

They won't do perfectly circular windows, that would be crazy— but I think we all know they can go further than this.

There have been times historically where that was true but all productivity gains have been captured by the .1% for the past few decades.

Imo, there would be no value in writing something where an iPad would satisfy the requirements, and I appreciated the list, and we're thinking about the large magnatile things now.

Do you have an easel whiteboard paper roll thing? I think it fits this list.

Parents who are analyzing the problem like you would do well going straight to the iPad with unlimited access to YouTube.

You can get an old iPad cheap and your kid will spend every waking second on it till they're old enough to drive. Or even longer!

He may have understood it, but the feelings of anger about it are so overwhelming he had to post anyway, even if it didn't perfectly flow with the conversation.

Well put. There are two sides of the coin: the lazy questioner who expects others to do the work researching what they would not, and the lazy/indulgent answerer who basically LMGTFY's it.

Ideally we would require people who ask questions to say what they've researched so far, and where they got stuck. Then low-effort LLM or search engine result pages wouldn't be such a reasonable answer.

What if some of the homeless people are children or people who could lead normal lives but found themselves in dire circumstances?

Some of us believe that keeping children out of poverty may be an investment in the human capital of a country.

The average salary in the USA is still $66k. You're living in a bubble to think people don't want to get more time out of their family's iOS devices.

Your web browser is a robot, and always has been. Even using netcat to manually type your GET request is a robot in some sense, as you have a machine translating your ascii and moving it between computers.

The significant difference isn't in whether a robot is doing the actions for you or not, it's whether the robot is a user agent for a human or not.

You can trace all their problems back to the 1979 Islamic revolution. If they would have simply kept the Shah as the ruler and stayed a client state to Britain, they wouldn't need to fund any of these militants, and would probably be a friend to western countries.
