Trip codes are I think what you’re taking about, not all boards had them enabled but they were a way of authenticating a user on the boards that did

TBH kinda with you here, is it just the relatively recent proximity of the use of the word to refer those with intellectual disabilities?

…

I actually looked this up and found a timeline, which shows the use is much more recent in medical contexts than I thought, Rosa’s Law 2010 is where it’s use was superceded in federal usage.

I honestly thought it was a kinda 50s to 70s kinda deal, not 70s - 2010; this does change my perspective and opinion a little bit, and I do feel a bit more sympathy as of how it’s still very much within living memory for some.

At the same time, I wonder whether those who take issue with it being used casually (not in reference to intellectual disability), take the same issue with the use of idiot, moron or imbecile, as retarded was used because those terms became common place and slang, not exclusively medical words.

I think that once the cat is out of the bag, (and the fact that both the medical society, and general society has moved past a single catch all term for intellectual disability) you can’t really keep a word from developing it’s own life.

I will note, my opinion doesn’t hold any real weight here, as I’m the UK we never had AFAIK a diagnosis of “Mental retardation”

Not who you responded to, but from the article:

“Blast furnaces in the UK have been loss-making for the better part of a decade and been economically unviable due to competition from Chinese and Indian blast furnaces, along with rising energy costs in the UK.”

Which makes me think there isn’t much profit to be had even for business, I imagine China invested with the long term plan of effectively cornering the UK market and eventually shutting the plant down, increasing our reliance on Chinese steel.

And was the loss of money from the plant British money, or Chinese?

Either way, I am also in agreement that it should be nationalised.

I was curious if they were using farmed bugs or something else

From the page for the bug Dpads:

Rest assured, no creepy crawlies were harmed in creating these unique dpads – each bug was respectfully collected after natural passing, discovered in serene settings like windowsills, tangled in spider webs, or peacefully outdoors. These DPADs are not just gaming accessories; they’re a tribute to the beauty of nature, combined with the thrill of Halloween! 🕷🍂

Devil’s lettuce, Mary Jane and “marahuana” (in the Hank Hill voice) are probably my favorites that immediately come to mind

Wow, this is absolutely amazing, do you have a build guide or something to reference if I wanted to build one?

Either AI written, or a bad way of phrasing this update from their kickstarter, which suggests that there’s a deadline for any unclaimed physical rewards from the kickstarter for Firmament, suggesting that they’ve still been shipping them up until now

Though the fact that they called it an upcoming title makes me think AI helped write the article.

The first half is reasonable, the 2nd bit is paranoid.

People take drug, drug does thing, body/brain react and over time produce long term tolerance so honeymoon period with med ends.

Surprised Pikachu face

You see it in other drug using communities; it’s really common to see people say that the modern drug is nothing like what they took years prior, whilst ignoring their own neural pathways will have changed in that time.

Personally I’ve found NAC helps, where it didn’t before when my meds still add their “magic”

Making their own ADHD meds? (If my understanding of your comment is right)

Cause I mean it’s not hard but incredibly illegal, as Adderall is just amphetamine salts in a slightly different ratio than what you’d get by synthesizing it yourself.

It’s not exactly closed source

Now, vyvanse would be quite a bit harder to clandestinely produce but not impossible, just as illegal though.

How do you deal with any other languages aside from English? Even if a product is destined for an English only market (which let’s be honest are basically small toys with English on them and English language books), anyone manufacturing will likely be using components manufactured in multiple different countries, with different languages and different ways of structuring names etc.

This is basically how you used to get Chinglish names and instructions for stuff on cheap products from China

If you want to see the outcome of what your currently suggesting, lookup longest car names, there’s a lot more English in them, as well as abbreviations yet they’re still a mess to understand/interpret from a layman’s perspective

To add to this, it’s a hell of a lot easier to cross language barriers with the the alphanumeric product name than it is with the English name, which only works for English and would need accurately translating for every language&product for every region you want to buy/sell in.

It would be an absolute nightmare to try for every product that’s sold in multiple regions, etc

But would that then imply that all commissioned works aren’t art?

Or does the difference of who (or more specifically what) you commission to produce something decide whether it’s art?

This is cool, what other tools/techniques have you used to achieve good beyond the pixelsorting?

I used to really love palladium boots, but most of them are now made in China with the accompanying drop in quality.

I had a decent couple of leather pairs, and have gone through maybe 3 canvas/fabric pairs in the past 12 months.

And ever since they paid a Kardashian to advertise them they’ve become massively overpriced.

It’s a shame as I used to love them

1. Is this a quirk of the fediverse?

The community this has been posted in for me is Technology, not Privacy

2.And those people should also face scrutiny if they are making up potentially life ruining stuff such as accusing someone being a child murderer. The bit I’d want some context for, is whether this is a one off hallucination, or a consistent one that multiple seperate users could see if they asked about this person.

If it’s a one of hallucination, it’s not good, but nowhere near as bad as a consistent ‘hard baked’ hallucination.

Paella is generally supposed to have a little bit of crispyness to it and is cooked in a large wok like cast iron pan IIRC, might be a helpful starting point

Standard doses of each should be fine unless you have a known liver issue, or have decided to drink a litre of grapefruit juice today.

The concern is normally due to enzyme inhibition increasing concentrations of either, but in a healthy person the chances of an interaction are minimal.

As a seperate point benadryl is not the healthiest thing to help you sleep, personally I’m a fan of magnesium glycinate 300mg and L-Tryptophan 600mg; clean sleep that still works just as well after taking it for 6 years as it did the first month.

Benedryl as an occasional sleep aid isn’t great, but regular use is correlated with an increased risk of dementia.

Take a half dose of each if you’re still concerned.

Weirdly it was the lamb chops my primary school did, they came from the aluminum tray pre sliced to about 4-5mm, dripping in gravy and were beyond tender. I have no idea they did them but they had no right being as good as they were.

Part of me fondly remembers turkey twizzlers, then another part of me remembers losing my first tooth to one and crunching it… I also imagine they’re revolting in a way that only a small child could enjoy.

Oh also iced buns

“Fact” would imply that there’s a level of certainty about it, I would only argue it’s fact if it happens an overwhelming amount of the time, or is party policy, or is done by senior leadership.

The question is what is meant by “a thought that doesn’t fit the narrative”?

Please give some examples, because they could be talking about likeing pineapple on pizza, or they could be talking about ‘A womans place is in the home’; the latter would be something I’d expect a Nazi or a misogynist to say and agree with.

Does purely saying that make you either? Perhaps not, but if someone has a history and pattern of making similar statements that when looked at could paint a picture that certainly looks like a Nazi or misogynist.

Oh and toxic masculinity harms men, as much if not moreso than it harms women. It’s the part that tells people to man up when they are struggling as opposed to actually helping. It the thing that makes men who have experienced abuse or rape not speak up cause his ‘mates’ will take the piss, it’s a contributing factor in the amount of teenagers and young men who are suffering due to knife crime.

The point being is it’s been twisted by the rights narative to say it’s attacking men, when in reality it’s a term given for harmful behavior and a harmful ideal to adhere to.

The one point being when discussing toxic masculinity, it should be paired with discussions of positive masculinity.

What hasn’t happened is a mens liberation movement where we move passed the whole, men are robots whose feelings extend to happy, horny and angry.

You got any links to explain this in some more detail?

Because this just causes my brain to jam when trying to comprehend…

Like what diameter of black hole are we talking?

And what is the critical mass of the black whole before it starts to cascade and grow?
