You must be so proud

What people don’t want to know is that you need to block as many communities and people as you possibly can in your first couple days here.

This place is jackass city, let’s get that straight.

Borax as insect repellant/ murderer.

Every apartment block has roaches, I’m not naive. But to get rid of the ones in mine I put a teaspoon of borax near the dishwasher kick plate and blew it under with compressed air. Sprinkled some around the perimeter of the cabinet beneath the kitchen sink.

Have not seen a roach in 10 months.

Edit: don’t try to bait food with borax, they won’t eat it, just get it on the walking paths. You want them tracking it into the hive where they all clean it up like cats and die because to an insect it’s like eating knives.

Because there’s a contract dispute with the foreign agency contracted to manage our parks.

Which happened after severe cuts about 2 decades ago.

Don’t act all proud.

I live in Canada.

I will never again visit that shithole country called the United States of America.

My understanding is 100% up to date.

I developed games professionally for 2 decades and ran MANY startups. If you think I don’t get it, THINK AGAIN

Linux people need to get a fucking grip. It’s a shitty tool for EVERYBODY except developers.

The year of Linux on the desktop was 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025

You need to understand that your ZEAL shows how little you understand about the overall landscape of OS and tech.

I’m going to design and print a shirt that simply says

“Legal hotdog”

Give it up.

Lengths required for this solution: purchase computer and use it.

Lengths required for Linux: spend 10 years understanding all the technical underpinnings so that you can get a basic install going and then realize you can’t accomplish 98% of what you need to because it’s a piece of shit not made for desktop use.

The real difference in butcher bacon is that they get the better cut of meat. The cheaper cut goes into the sliced packages for grocery stores.

The EMF from power lines was a real mind virus that went around when I was a teenager!

I’ve been alive too long and have seen this pattern play out again, and again, and again. Feeling a little sad right now, actually.

For another example: all my life the common sense accepted wisdom, supported by real dermatologists was that to keep the likelihood of skin cancer to a minimum there is zero known healthy level of sun exposure. Well that’s all out the f’king window in 2025 because we now know the deleterious effects of insufficient sun exposure are vastly more severe compared to an increased morbidity for types of skin cancer.

I don’t want to be mr critical, but… there’s something wrong in our whole approach to these “studies” and I don’t know what fixes it. Any experts wanna help describe what I’m getting at with the right technical language?

My “maybe?” controversial opinion, shot off half-cocked and a little uninformed… is that the entire field of nutritional epidemiology is bad pseudo-science arising from a fundamentally flawed viewpoint and bias: That health outcomes are tied to nutritional intake vs nutritional intake arising from the conditions of individuals’ lives.

I’d hate to be a nutritional epidemiologist tbh. I can’t think of a less fruitful career searching for answers and finding what looks like answers, but are just the biases of your questions reflected back to you.

Try to follow the thrust of the conversation.

Truth.

Yesterday I opened a huge bung of ground beef that I got from Costco.

Fried up 1/3 of it up and when I tasted it… Damn that’s f’kking bottom round roast beef 😋

I’m not a nutritional epidemiologist.

But I’ve started to get into learning about it in the last few months.

It’s really starting to feel like this is a giant bullshit field, and as much as they are trying to find useful results, there’s something severely wrong with how they seem to arbitrarily assign causality and correlation.

In a contrived example: “People who live near power lines have more cancer” - “No, poor people live near power lines because they’re poor, and poor people have more cancer”

What are the kind of people that eat processed hot dogs? I can promise you they are not millionaires. I can promise you it’s not people who can afford filet mignon but decide to have a steamed hot dog. It’s not people who work out and take care of their bodies. It’s not people who cook.

So when a study is done like this, what answer are you actually getting? probably finding out that the type of people who eat processed meat are more prone to these conditions for a variety of considerations that are just totally left out of the analysis.

My grandfather had this thing called the bear claw! It was basically a strip of pointy plastic tines and it fit over an out-facing wall corner.

I found myself with a back scratcher in every room as I got older until I learned that the reason my back is constantly itchy is because my fine back hair.

I bought this thing called The Man Groomer which is basically an extendable back shaver, and now I don’t use back scratchers anymore… Honestly a humongous relief from needing to scratch my back like 75 times a day. Now I need to scratch it zero times.

Garbage article.

We have been well aware of this type of magnetic interfering crystalline structure in materials like ferrite.

And there is absolutely nothing new or novel about heating and cooling when magnetic fields are applied and released.

Hot air.
