  I’m pretty sure I’ve heard reliable reports of stoma gonorrhoea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Efficient Seed Extraction⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ever seen someone pick fruit out of an enteric fistula?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Using The Wind And Magnets To Make Heat⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep. It’s very cool, but takes a little getting used to at first!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Using The Wind And Magnets To Make Heat⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, I’ve used my parents’ induction hob and it’s ridiculously fast to boil liquids. A half pint of milk was boiling over in 20s. Gas stoves can’t compete.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Slightly less than two drinks = positive effect on programming ability. Who's joining?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Legal doesn’t mean safe; it just means the lawmakers are too corrupt, stupid, cowardly, or weak to tighten the limit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Slightly less than two drinks = positive effect on programming ability. Who's joining?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You sound like a donorcycle rider. One who is casual about potentially traumatising and/or injuring others.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #2908: Moon Armor Index⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like someone who didn’t learn healthy coping mechanisms.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #2907: Schwa⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is like when my friend from CA discovered merry, marry, Mary except it’s everything.

  Fuck, just see anything that the IDF ghouls are pumping out at the moment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kids Are Watching Brain Melting AI-Generated Videos on YouTube Without Parents Realizing⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think I’ve heard “deeply” being used that way for a good few years now. Might have been making its way round for a while!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bonfire Launches Open Science Network for Academics and Researchers⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  With the recent publicity of LLM generated papers, would there be any strength of this platform to reject garbage science?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Feds Are Coming for “Extremist” Gamers⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a shit joke. Racial essentialism just ain’t funny, and the context is kinda irrelevant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Quora Died⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Cute, but already taken by the OS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ecosia plants 200 million trees⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think local initiatives around the world would mean initiatives around the world which are specifically local, rather than large, multinational planting organisations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Neuralink’s human trials volunteers ‘should have serious concerns,’ say medical experts⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If something is dangerous in animal testing, it shouldn’t reach humans. The FDA is toothless (due to underfunding and regulatory capture).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NAC makes you insensitive to alcohol⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It is known to protect the liver in specific circumstances, I.e. paracetamol overdoses, but there is not the same body of clinical evidence to support the same hypothesis in relation to alcohol. Even in paracetamol overdoses there is a time limit in its efficacy.

  NAC is not a panacea when it comes to drug-induced liver injury.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Another 62 ‘Girls Do Porn’ Victims Sue Pornhub for $600 Million⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Indeed. You can know that your own life is dependant on the exploitation of others whilst working to make that less so.

  I have to. The alternative is death.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Another 62 ‘Girls Do Porn’ Victims Sue Pornhub for $600 Million⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  There is no ethical consumption under capitalism

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epic Games to update Unreal Engine pricing for devs not making games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  There have been a few changes, but it is mostly the same I think.

  Out of interest, what wasn’t as good?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epic Games to update Unreal Engine pricing for devs not making games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Darktable is an excellent replacement

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epic Games Cutting 870 Jobs, 16 Percent Of Its Workforce, also selling Bandcamp⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Indeed

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epic Games Cutting 870 Jobs, 16 Percent Of Its Workforce, also selling Bandcamp⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The Bandcamp sale is hopefully good news. Songtradr looks like they’re just in the music business and don’t (front their Wikipedia page) have any obviously dodgy investors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is cooking a food item method called different things by what the item is, or what is the criteria?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess you replace the oil with the extra stirring to stop it sticking

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Capitalism is dead. Now we have something much worse’: Yanis Varoufakis on extremism, Starmer, and the tyranny of big tech⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The article really doesn’t engage much with what YV actually wrote; she says that she disagrees with him sometimes or that other people disagree, but with very little substance.

  Like others have already commented, she’s also excessively obsessed with describing his house and wife. I can’t believe The Observer paid for her to fly out there to write such drivel.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Neuralink’s human trials volunteers ‘should have serious concerns,’ say medical experts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  FDA approval ain’t evidence that something is safe. See the recent approvals for anti-Alzheimers meds that have a terrible side-effect to benefit ratio.

  I can say it softly if you prefer
