Hey, since you mentioned gout (and I read the rest so I know you don’t have it) that’s definitely something totally preventable and treatable, and also definitely something you don’t want to leave untreated.

But hey, fellow Clevelander beehawer, welcome aboard!

I’m in the ER. Probably the doctor standing directly in front of me.

DuckDuckGo works fine for me, it checks most of your boxes. Not sure about the ad blocker, but I run a pi-hole on my home network so I don’t see most of them anyway.

They’re rightly concerned about losing jobs to automation.

Just a thought, and I may be way off because admittedly I don’t know a lot about how it works - wouldn’t Ukraine have legitimately registered their SL gear? If it’s not registered by Ukraine and it’s in Ukraine, can’t they kill the uplink?

I’m old enough now that I’m more financially secure than I ever have been before, and I still think we should tear it all down and create a more equitable system for everyone. Perhaps I’m in the minority though for people my age.

Politicians sew division, fear, and hatred knowing that this will allow them to continue fleecing everyone who works for a living. We should never forget that it’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.

Eating the rich isn’t a coup de grace, it’s the beginning.

Get started without us, we’ll catch up. It will take a lot of outside pressure to get the wheels turning faster, but it will happen.

Nah, my cousin needed stitches after trying to separate frozen burgers with a butter knife years ago.

Put them vertical on a cutting board, and keep your hands out from underneath it.

I think it’s got about 3-4 billion years left in the tank, if I remember reading correctly. It won’t be humanity’s problem.

About it being completely arbitrary and anti-consumer? It 100% is.

I’ve got a gallon of chlorine bleach that can purify a few hundred gallons of water from the lake at the end of my street, a crossbow that can keep us fed for a while, and a smoker that can preserve meat. I do know how to properly can veggies to keep them preserved, but I’d run out of lids after a season. I suppose I’d save seeds from this years garden and grow a lot of winter squash next season, but cross pollination might mess that up.

Depending on whether or not I ran into a marauding gang of savages, I could probably make it longer than most.

I read that in ED-209

Sony has a horrific track record of data breaches.

They’re collecting and selling data about you for profit.

I place that bar higher than this.

For my own personal amusement, what else would they have to do to meet the level your personal anti-consumer bar is set at?

This is actually a fantastic idea. How long will it take Valve to threaten account bans for doing it?

A serial tech entrepreneur and venture capitalist who believes that pretty much everything governments currently do, tech can do better.

This is just really fucking rich.

Hear, hear!

Heyyy welcome back!
