ketamine__on Why wood has gotten so dang expensive

I’ll just create another account and start again. You won’t stop me.

ketamine__on Metformin trial reduces seizures and brain tumours in Tuberous Sclerosis

But increases diarrhea on a scale thought unfathomable? Every time you meet one of those 'life extension' types taking Metformin just know that they aren't living their best life in the bathroom.

ketamine__on Why wood has gotten so dang expensive

How does speculation drive the price of lumber up?

ketamine__on A bear case for social audio

Many Twitter users with a high follower count have turned off replies from people they don’t follow. So it’s basically just an announcement platform for perceived genius.

ketamine__on Help All data in WD mybook live gone and owner password unknown

Looks like a massive attack. I wonder if the goal of the attacker is to short the stock.

Your comment contradicts your previous comment.

> There's no indication WIV was doing any gain of function research.

1) It's Richard Ebright who has been quoted in numerous articles. He isn't some "rando on twitter." You didn't read his sub-tweets.

2) You only read the title of the article I linked that was in sub-tweets. See the following tweet:

https://mobile.twitter.com/R_H_Ebright/status/14052391926286...

> The construction of novel chimeric SARS-related coronaviruses able to infect human cells and lab animals at WIV (1) was published with acknowledgment to NIH grant AI110964 (https://journals.plos.org/plospathogens/article?id=10.1371/j...) and (2) was reported to NIH under NIH grant AI110964 (https://reporter.nih.gov/search/0dVX_GElSEGDOsNMZq7qaQ/proje...)

So, yes, gain of function research was happening at WIV.

ketamine__on Will Work for Air-Conditioning

How quiet is that? My problem with air conditioners is noise. I end up wearing earplugs.

Are they not selling it anymore?

Why? They are worried about American scientists chasing after them?

ketamine__on Scientist finds early virus sequences that had been mysteriously deleted

This is not true.

> The Wuhan lab constructed novel chimeric viruses that combined spike genes from new bat SARS-related coronaviruses with the genomic backbone of another bat SARS-related coronavirus.

> These were viruses that were novel, not viruses that were present in nature.

It’s scientists that fund or support gain of function research at WIV. So anyone involved with Ecohealth is fair game.

I don’t see anything political here. If Fauci and Daszak had come out against dangerous experiments at low biosafety levels we wouldn’t be talking about them.

I don’t think Richard Ebright is demanding an investigation for political reasons. He refers to Trump as a sociopath.

ketamine__on Brave Search beta

You're concern trolling. It's blatantly obvious: Hey, I just have a question. Five paragraphs later...

ketamine__on Brave Search beta

> But it was enough of a consequential donation back then to have removed from as CEO of Mozilla.

False. The reason for leaving Mozilla was never published.

> I'm wondering if I'm missing something like he himself did some about-face, or people lost track of this, or if they just don't care anymore or what?

So your disappointed Hacker News isn't more engaged with identity politics and cancel culture?

And by the way you are wrong. It has come up in several threads in the past.

FSD rollout has been delayed many times. He's underperforming.

Tricks? You detached a perfectly valid thread. Kathpathy only responded to this thread with a shallow dismissal and none of the other critiques. That should tell you something.

If Elon was any good at keeping his word it wouldn’t be an issue.

It looks like it can carry water. But I need it to be able to jog for over an hour!

Ah, another other model Aliengo up to 4.5 hours of battery life.

ketamine__on An unwanted update to your Google Account

If someone rents an Airbnb for a few months in a new location are they now a resident of that new location? If we aren't talking about residency then changing an association (whatever that means) seems arbitrary.

ketamine__on I know the secret to the quiet mind but wish I’d never learned it

Many people I have known remarked on how an older person they know has a failing body and an active mind. The mind being the most important.

ketamine__on I know the secret to the quiet mind but wish I’d never learned it

This is the best article I have read that was posted to HN this year. Most other articles that try to be insightful just reveal the writers own stupidity and desire to follow trends.

I did not see the same tricks in this article.

ketamine__on I know the secret to the quiet mind but wish I’d never learned it

Repetitive and unhelpful thoughts. Rumination.

ketamine__on I will never not talk about my depression

It has nothing to do with the article and it is idealogical.

I never claimed to be a mod.
