Unashamed fascism right out in the open. Fuck this country.

IIRC that effect is more a result of bad categorization rather than light alcohol use actually being correlated with lower mortality.

People who used to be heavy drinkers and who have since quit get put in the “non drinkere” category, but because they used to drink heavily their mortality is still impacted even after they stop. You don’t suddenly get a good liver after 10 years of tearing it apart after all.

So the “non-drinkers” category has an artificially worse mortality than the light drinkers.

At the end of the day the body breaks alcohol down into some carcinogens. No amount of that is good for you.

I had a professor in a cyber security class go off about how you’re a traitor to the United States if you thing well of him. I remember rolling my eyes and wondering why she was drinking so much cool aid.

He did the right thing, but the concept of heros is not a good or useful one, especially when it comes to political actors.

I may need to manually level my bed every time I print, but I never see ads, and have zero privacy holes in my printer.

And it’s gonna stay that way. And when it eventually dies, it’s time to harvest the corpse and build a voron printer.

This is likely the route I’ll take in the near future.

I’m not saying we shouldn’t do both. We should be doing both. Everyone should have privacy, and all bathrooms should be gender neutral

Vertical gabs in bathroom stalls are regularly 0.5-1cm wide, the bottom 30-50cm, and the top 50-70cm wide.

Anybody can violate people’s privacy when the stalls leave such massive gaps. It is shameful.

And if that weren’t th case, bathrooms could be for everyone.

Have been forever

Yes, but not with the current courts

If you don’t mind some low specs, and are focused on lowest price, a potato pi runs for about $30 IIRC, and is plenty to do small stuff like an openvpn server.

Gonna second the dell optiplex. Been using one for my home server for a while now, and it’s been perfect.

I know its possible to jail break a roku, but is there a follow up to remove ads after doing so?

Really sick of it. Though I need to get a pi-hole set up anyways

Seems like doing some clean room design off of Roku OS would be a good choice.

“We’ll come around to you next time”

There is a time limit an exception like this will be held. Once it becomes normalized on proprietary systems they’ll expect it on the rest.

Absolute assholes

You’re welcome friend <3

This image is ripe for an SCP to be written up based on it.

For sure there are still problems with it. But IMO the benefits of such an organization would outweigh any of the drawbacks.

A ton of countries wouldn’t go through the effort to block it, it would help those in impoverished areas to connect, etc.

And for those in places that would actively try to stop such a connection, people wouldn’t be trying to connect if they didn’t find it worth the risk. I heard about the starlink/iran one as well.

The best way to do this would be to have an international organization operating something like starlink, but not operated by a nazi, and instead provided for free for everyone.

Unless places like North Korea and Iran start blasting hundreds of satellites out of the sky, there is far less that any country could do to prevent people from making transceivers at home.

The problem is that no such international organization would ever be funded and independent.

It’s not about age verification. That’s not their goal. They’re trying to de-anonymize the internet to punish and restrict dissent.
