Beautiful and depressing read

eur0pa··on LG and Samsung TVs are logging everything you say [video]
Steve and Wendell are treasures. Looking forward to the investigation and the findings. I live in the EU, I own a C2 that is not connected to the internet, and all LG and Alphonso endpoints are blackholed on the network, however I'd love to dumbify the TV further with some hardware intervention.

eur0pa··on Italy Blocks Reproductive Health Websites Women on Web and Women Help Women
Finding an obiettore is a somewhat rare circumstance in a hospital, but it's unlikely in a consultorio familiare; those are structures whose only purpose is reproductive health, gynecological care, social services, and psychological consult, especially aimed at teens and women. If you're an objector you generally don't go out of your way to work there.
eur0pa··on Italy Blocks Reproductive Health Websites Women on Web and Women Help Women
Ah that does it. Abortion pills are not candies. There's a reason why they are expected to be used in a hospital setting, with medical personnel nearby. If these websites facilitate the distribution of prescription meds, they're no different from other "online pharmacies" and get the same treatment
eur0pa··on Italy Blocks Reproductive Health Websites Women on Web and Women Help Women
Abortion is legal in this country, and any woman can go to the hospital (as in the ER), or at a consultorio familiare to initiate the process. Both options are free of charge and free of judgement, especially the latter. As to why these two websites were rendered inaccessible it beats me, as there are many other local alternatives one may peruse, and they're all accessible. Hell, even the Italian Government Website has resources[1][2]!

eur0pa··on Caffeine and Cardiovascular Disease: AHA Scientific Statement
Because usually doctors and cardiologists recommend people drink less caffeine, as it tends to increase blood pressure (hence a cascade of things you want to avoid in hypertensive and cardio patients), disrupts sleep quality to some degree, and might increase the ectopic burden
eur0pa··on Caffeine and Cardiovascular Disease: AHA Scientific Statement
Electrolyte imbalances (alcohol, dehydration), and catecholamine surges (sleep deprivation, stress) are excellent triggers
eur0pa··on Caffeine and Cardiovascular Disease: AHA Scientific Statement
This statement is particularly interesting as it goes against the common sense, and the common suggestion that some (most?) cardiologists and doctors give to cardiac patients (lower / no caffeine).

However, some arrhythmologists and electrophysiologists sing a different tune. When I was diagnosed with something complex and novel that results in ventricular arrhythmia (PVCs and VT), my EP was, to put it mildly, uninterested in my consumption of caffeine. He said that, at worst, it made no significant difference. That was a few years ago. I was pleasantly surprised.

eur0pa··on Inferno (Boards of Canada)
> A day prior to the release of the album on 28 May, the social media accounts for the White House posted a video incorporating a segment of "Deep Time" (initially released as "Tape 05") with grainy visuals featuring nationalist imagery of helicopters, the White House, detention centres, a United States Border Patrol boat, and United States flags.Public reaction to this was widely negative.Following the outpour of negative public response, an official response from Warp Records was made regarding the video and its copyright infringement, stating that neither the label nor the duo "condone the unauthorised use of their music for political messaging".
