Fuck off with your bullshit.

evolved with the times into various forms perfectly adapted to whatever their niche may be.

just like pigeons, owls, crocodiles, finches, etc.

sigh I knew alekwithak’s comment would get misinterpreted and downvoted.

FFS, the negative reaction against the stream of “unreasonable” questions posed above is exactly the problem. A question is asked of a professional warrants a clear compassionate response, not prejudice and derision.

Yes, the single aspect of Vitamin K1 injections/oral for neonates is highly effective uncontroversial science based medicine, but one needs to remember the context: so much of what parents are pushed to do medically around pregnancy and childbirth in a hospital-based birth is controversial and questionable, and in many cases the norms pushed by hospitals have evidence against them yet are still pushed by that system (for example: GBS testing & prophylactic antibiotics, gestational diabetes testing, routine induction before 42-43 weeks, continuous electronic fetal monitoring, circumcision).

In any case, prophylactic vitamin K1 can be offered orally if the parent is averse to shots for the newborn, sidestepping much of the perceived issue. It’s unconsciable that this is not offered in some places (USA).

Oral vitamin K1 is almost as effective as injected K1, and most countries seem to offer it orally as an alternative to injected. Oral is pretty much just as effective as injected. 1, 2

The article doesn’t mention oral. Is it still not approved in the US? (It’s the same formulation as that injected).

It’s very cheap. In Australia it costs ~9AUD (~7USD) for a single dose vial with oral syringe without subsidies.

LoL @ the downvotes. Step one is acknowledging one’s addiction.

I wonder if a smartphone with e-ink display would be a good solution.

Good enough for secure messaging & calling apps, usable with their existing touch-UIs, yet devoid of the addictive potential enabled by vibrant colour, smooth-scroll, and video.

Can even still use the camera – just need to wait until you ‘develop’ them by transferring to another device/medium with full colour or a video-capable display.

• Unexpected Keyboard - also has a vertical cursor slide key.
• Thumb-Key - optional setting. Also works intuitively for text deletion on backspace. Text selection too but that’s buggy.

I prefer browser(web)-based banking apps which work well on a phone UI without the info-access creep.

UBank (NAB subsidary) and Wise (not a bank) both support passkeys for login in the browser. Most other banks here seem to have regressed from hardware tokens to SMS codes or proprietary apps for their MFA.

Passkeys are only as secure as your passkeys – I use Bitwarden with master password re-prompt checked for bank credentials, but I should probably switch to a hardware based passkey (at least for unlocking Bitwarden itself).

The phone apps are sometimes required to do some things (like managing passkeys for UBank, verifying ID in Wise). They work on LineageOS without the google stuff, but might be worth installing only temporarily in a separate profile or phone.

Retail payments – just use a physical card if you’re not using cash.
