lerie82··on The Promise of CBD, the Cannabis Chemical That Won’t Get You High
It seems mainstream media takes so long to get actual news, people have been using CBD for years but now that it's becoming more popular it's okay to report on it.

I wonder what other great medical news the mainstream media is refusing to report.

lerie82··on Tattoo Ink Nanoparticles Persist in Lymph Nodes (2017)
This title is severely misleading, the article discusses pigments in tattoo ink, not tattoo ink in general. I am covered in tattoos, none of my tattoos have color.

"but researchers suggest dirty needles aren’t the only risk of the age-old practice"

I have also never seen an artist use a dirty needle, and would never let a dirty needle hit my skin with ink.

lerie82··on Around the World, People Have Surprisingly Modest Notions of the ‘Ideal’ Life
figures a psychology website would try to categorize everyone in one little box. nobody even knows what "life" is, so how would we even know what the "ideal" life is.

people only go into the psychology field for the $$

lerie82··on IRC.com Bought by London Trust Media, Pledges an IRC Revival
not sure it need a revival. i have been using irc since 99
lerie82··on SpaceX's hot new monster rocket ready for first test flight
Washington post maybe?
lerie82··on An industry has developed around the online resale of clothes
The secret is buying from goodwill and reselling online. It's a great side hustle and easy.
lerie82··on Stealing from Self-Checkouts
I guess, surprisingly, I'm the good guy for actually paying for my things.

Wonder how many small businesses go under because of this kind of theft.

lerie82··on What people actually do at WeWork
Who is renting this space? Do people not have wifi and desks in their homes?
lerie82··on HiFive – RISC-V-based Linux development board
Why so pricey?
lerie82··on Switch to Windows 95
I bet Windows 95 runs like a beast with the memory we have these days.
lerie82··on Space uses neuroscience and AI to help you kick app addiction
I find it fascinating that people spend so much time on social media, however, I don't really think you can consider it an addiction. If social media can be labeled an addiction then can we not also say socializing is addicting and we should limit our social interactions with people so we don't become addicted to socializing?
lerie82··on Apple shareholders push for study of phone addiction in children
I agree with this guy.
lerie82··on Apple shareholders push for study of phone addiction in children
It's a waste of money and time. What will they really have achieved from this study? "Societal unease", what does that even mean? They never even addressed the issue at all in the article from what I read.

It will no doubt be another biased study distracting us from something else we should be investing our time and monies on.

lerie82··on Paper Scraps Recovered from Blackbeard's Cannon
Yea,it's pretty odd that it would be in a cannon if they were reading it lol. If they were reading it, wouldn't they have found bindings?
lerie82··on Life expectancy in America has declined for two years in a row
What I took from this was more dug addicts are dying, not "the average American", or did I miss something?
lerie82··on The Extraordinary Life of Nikola Tesla
Perhaps one of my favorite people of all time, you can find some decent documentaries on YouTube as well. It's hard to sum him up in an article so if you're interested in any of the things he accomplished, check out some videos and books about him, truly an extraordinary man that had so much taken from him with no credit given.
lerie82··on How an A.I. ‘Cat-And-Mouse Game’ Generates Believable Fake Photos
Excellent images and the more I think about what this could be used for the creepier it gets. One day, truly, software will be very dangerous.
lerie82··on Motel 6 routinely gave guests' information to immigration officials
Awesome, I guess. I really don't see a problem with this.
lerie82··on Inequality in nature and society
I believe this paper is very full of one-sided ideals of what people think nature and society is.
lerie82··on High doses of vitamin D rapidly reduce arterial stiffness
How come it's never tests with regular people and regular doses?
lerie82··on The US Government Blocks MoneyGram’s $1.2B Sale to Alibaba’s Ant Financial
Something about Alibaba being tied to terrorist organizations? but I've been wrong before
lerie82··on Spotify files for its IPO
I'm not a business major but releasing their IPO while being sued for billions sounds like a bad idea. Someone please explain this to me.
lerie82··on Robust Client-Side JavaScript
I like the part where the p's and q's overlap the underline. and also, it's a nice guide I have saved to PDF
lerie82··on Amazon Will Buy Target This Year, Gene Munster Predicts
Didn't we hear something about this already last year?
lerie82··on Norwegian Student Takes Secret Street Photos In The 1890s
I suspected the same, but maybe he was actually explaining it in some of the photos.
lerie82··on Ex-FB exec: The dopamine-driven feedback loops are destroying how society works
I work with many people who are still in high school or right out of high school and none of them seem to be lacking social skills.
lerie82··on Ex-FB exec: The dopamine-driven feedback loops are destroying how society works
Oh get over yourself, this video is disgustingly egotistical. "ripping apart the social fabric", I absolutely doubt that. This is getting way out of hand. Social media isn't ripping any core values apart, and nothing he has said in this video proves it.
lerie82··on Not Ready for Takeoff: Face Scans at Airport Departure Gates
Shouldn't they just do a fingerprint scan then?
lerie82··on A High School Student Building Integrated Circuits
My high school didnt even offer drivers ed, couldnt have a football team because of drive-by shootings, shop class wasnt an option after my freshman year (or metal shop) because of a fight that occurred, there were no opportunities for this when I was coming up.

This is something high schools need to be investing in, literally this is what is fueling our future, I think it's amazing, good job.

lerie82··on Blink has been acquired by Amazon
I don't see people saying many good things about Blink, why would they do that? However, Amazon is hiring like crazy for video and audio web people, so maybe a trick up their sleeve they have.
