Chemical Brothers - Under The Influence has always been my go-to system tester. The song itself is meh, but a good system will rattle your bones listening to it.

My current job is WFH, so no one would know or care. But I previously had a safety sensitive job that held us to either the same or higher standards as the federal Dept of Transportation. They were so strict that we had posters advising against drinking kombucha at lunch or using pure CBD products at all. My SO at the time had a CBD balm that I would put gloves on to help apply because I didn’t want to risk it. The company said that while these products were likely fine, if an accident or something happened and we had to then take a drug test, any registerable amount would be grounds for immediate dismissal with no recourse.

It was for the articles!

He did?!?

And because everyone’s glob of neurons is independent from each other, we have no way of conclusively determining if everyone’s glob interprets things the same way.

Well, fuck.

Thank you for the info. Edited.

I discovered Ventoy a week ago and it’s fucking amazing. So much time and hassle saved. it seemed amazing, but I had no idea about the security concerns others have pointed out. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

Any tips on finding cheap used ones, other than scrounging eBay and the like?

Autonomous vehicles are at times both amazingly advanced and bedshittingly idiotic.

I’ve ridden ~25k miles in them for work, and I trust them more than 95% of the drivers on the road. But I’ve also experienced them acting in ways that are still quite far from the way humans would.

No worries. I’ve never played a ttrpg, just have a passing interest and thought I’d ask. Cheers!

Is this a body-swap thing, or just the players having to play different characters?

I do Top/6hrs, but will jump over to Hot if I’ve been scrolling too long and run out of content.

Yup. For those that don’t know, that’s essentially how utf-8 works -

Google Gemini - “provide a synopsis of this video”

This video is about the difficulty of obtaining ADHD medication and the dangers of resorting to black market alternatives. The speaker, Benn Jordan, describes his experience of being diagnosed with ADHD and then struggling to get the medication he needs. He explains that there is a shortage of ADHD stimulants, and that the DEA has made it difficult for doctors to prescribe them. This has led to a black market for ADHD medication, which can be dangerous because the pills may be counterfeit or laced with other substances. The video also discusses the risks of not being treated for ADHD, such as increased car accidents, substance abuse, and suicide. The speaker concludes by calling on the government to make it easier for people to get the medication they need. Here are the key points:

• The speaker was diagnosed with ADHD and had trouble getting the medication he needed.
• There is a shortage of ADHD stimulants due to DEA regulations.
• People are resorting to the black market to get ADHD medication, which is dangerous.
• Untreated ADHD can lead to serious health problems.
• The speaker believes the government should make it easier to get ADHD medication.

I’ve experienced similar. I also feel like at the same time the voice to text accuracy has gone down as well.

I agree with the Idea that being in a position for too long increases the possibility of corruption. But, I’ll counter with two thoughts:

1.) Shouldn’t people have the ability to vote for who they want to represent them? If the people of Vermont want to keep on rejecting electing Bernie Sanders, why should they not be able to? (Valid counterpoint- Dianne Feinstein)

2.) This is the less trivial one - I fear that term limits would invite more corruption, as the representatives understand they only have a limited amount of time to grease as many palms and make as many connections as possible in their limited amount of time in office. We already have issues with the lame duck period, and those are currently measured in weeks. I can only imagine what I’d be like if a large portion of reps had full lame duck sessions.

I do the same thing. It hurts so good! Especially my pinkie toenails. Definitely not a good habit, though, and probably related to some stress / coping mechanism.
