And that they would be mostly right-wing folks, which has generally been true, in part because the bush administration deprioritized going after them.

Obviously if he did say no, they wouldn’t make him eat it. But the thing is, he’s not gonna say no, because of the implication.

I’m literally taking hydroxychloroqine right now. There’s no difficulty in accessing it. Not unless you consider needing a prescription difficult.

They have mandatory service, though I’m sure very few people serving their mandatory term are a part of the invading force.

Same thing happened to the Dot Com bubble. The fundamental technology has valid uses, but we’re in the stage where some people are convinced it can be used for literally anything.
- Comment on Concerns Raised Over Bitwarden Moving Further Away From Open-Source 3 months ago:
Nah, the timeline looks like this:
- use account on main
- create backup
- use account on main
- account goes missing from main.
- check backup, account also missing from backup.
Like, it should be in the backup, I proved it was in the original before and after creating the backup. Heck if I know why they went missing.

Dave Grossman is full of shit. This is independent to the potential trauma from killing people (there’s a wide range of reactions to that experience). Dave Grossman is full of shit.

I used to keep a copy of my kepass file in a free Dropbox account.
- Comment on Concerns Raised Over Bitwarden Moving Further Away From Open-Source 3 months ago:
I switched from keepass to Bitwarden because individual entries started randomly disappearing. I’m still discovering missing accounts after switching a couple of weeks ago. Sometime to do with how keepass was opening the files, because when an entry went missing it was gone even from backup files I hadn’t touched since before the entry disappeared.

Yeah, but your fridge doesn’t break every six years. I’m totally on team repair (FrameWork will be my next laptop when this one can’t go on any further, my shoes can be resoled, I just touched up my jacket, etc) but a 10x premium doesn’t exactly make sense, even when you factor in that repairability is unfortunately a niche feature these days.

So I looked them up, and the cheapest home-style refrigerator they sell costs $10,000. Am I missing something or are they really just that expensive?

- Comment on 16GB of RAM Could Be the New Minimum in Apple's Upcoming M4 Macs 5 months ago:
Recently I downloaded Chrome for some testing that I wanted to let separate from my Firefox browser. After a while I realized my computer was always getting hot every time I opened chrome. I took a look at the system monitor: chrome was using 30% of of my CPU power to play a single YouTube video in the background. What the fuck? I ended up switching the testing environment over the libreWolf and CPU load went down to only 10%.

Alternate explanation:
Hormone: Pretty much any chemical your body uses for intra-body signaling. Signaling in this case can be anything from dumping adrenaline in order to move blood preferentially to the muscles, to the production of estrogen in order to promote cell growth in certain organs.
Steroid: A particular class of compounds grouped by the existence of a particular quartet of carbon atom rings inside each of the molecular structures. They have a very wide range of roles across the tree of life. Examples include, but are not limited to: testosterone, cholesterol, ergosterol, and progesterone.
Steroid (colloquial meaning): Pretty much any performance enhancing drug, including hormones and actual steroids.
