In general, investing borrowed money is risky... People just don't realize they're doing that when they take on a mortgage.

That ATM cash tracking thing comes to mind

There are other disincentives besides price that keep people from going to the doctor if they don’t need to

  • wait times to get to the doctor
  • the time spent actually getting to the doctor and being there
  • social disincentives of having to explain a minor issue to a professional and probably something else that I forget now.

I used the health care services at my home town once this summer, and I spent two months there. Basic care is free at the point of service there. And I only went because I had had a concussion. Didn’t seem that the other people were there for no reason either.

The indirect savings of people going to the doctor earlier etc actually mean some of the healthcare ends up being free.

Also, saying that you’ll have the same problems regardless the system is both factually incorrect and unnecessarily nihilist.

Sugar is produced naturally in sugar beet and sugar cane plants.

Well, mostly water. But besides that, it’s mostly sugars and fiber, in that order.

I don't think no 1 is a valid argument as that applies to all food. Also, fructose is a sugar

diy testosterone is definitely illegal

best regards, recovering gymbro

The maybe unsafe is the motte and the too illegal is the bailey. Not saying you are committing the fallacy, but that's how people who do it do it. They are clearly uncomfortable with the fact that DIY HRT is illegal and generally against medical guidelines, but only hand-wavey arguments about safety are heard.

Mostly standardized? Maybe. What I know is that float summation is not associative, which means that things that are supposed to be equal (x + y + z = y + z + x) are not necessarily that for floats.

 

AI generating slop resumes, AI selecting which of these resumes to recruit, amplifying gender, racial and other biases in the process. It all seems broken now. As a PhD student who will probably need to find a job next year, this is pretty terrifying.

 

Why are cardiac deaths skyrocketing in 25-44 year olds? Scientists found microplastics in human heart arteries - linked to heart attacks, strokes, and premature death. We're breathing, eating, and drinking plastic every day. But here's the real scandal - only 10% of plastic actually gets recycled. Big Oil has known this for decades.

Discover the explosive lawsuits against Exxon, Coca-Cola, and Pepsi that expose how plastic recycling was never a solution - just an excuse to produce more. Plus: what you can actually do about it featuring Judith Enck, from Beyond Plastics

 

Hi all! I wrote a small Python utility that scrobbles your iPod play history on last.fm. It is made for the newer iPod nanos (6th gen+) that I didn’t get to work with the existing projects. You can install it via the Python package manager Pip by running pip install ipodnano-scrobbler.

I found this interesting, especially the discussion on navigating social situations in a pronatalist world.
