  • You're trying to correct something and are uninformed, not adding a ton to the convo.

    "A spoon is frequently used in the preparation of certain drugs, primarily heroin and crack cocaine. For heroin, a spoon serves as a heating vessel to dissolve the powdered or tar form of the drug. Heroin is often mixed with water in the spoon, and heat is applied from underneath with a lighter to facilitate dissolution, to create a liquid for injection. A small piece of cotton or a cigarette filter is sometimes placed in the spoon to act as a filter, drawing the liquid into a syringe while leaving behind impurities.

    Crack cocaine, a rock-like form of cocaine, can also be prepared using a spoon. Powdered cocaine is mixed with baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and a small amount of water in the spoon. This mixture is then heated, causing a chemical reaction that separates the cocaine base, forming an oily mass that solidifies into crack cocaine “rocks” upon cooling. While crack is primarily smoked, the spoon is used in this “cooking” process to transform the powder into its smokable crack form."

  • 2am subway station in Vienna. Had been drinking all night, really had to pee. Walked in to the bathroom, saw dude with a spoon and a lighter doing his crack thing and did a sweet 180 Michael Jackson spin on my rear heel and was out the door before it even closed from my opening it.

    Had never seen anything like that in real life but didn't need to look twice.

  • "the arm patch, disposal of and disdain for law, security and privacy, alignment with fascists...all of that seems pretty innocuous and normal but when we bored into FDAs data, wow, that really opened my eyes"

  • I'm not in software development so don't have an opinion on the practice, just passing on what I read that seemed relevant.

  • In a few years people won't care if their milk is AI, I heard it from an expert whose salary depends on him taking this position

  • From what I saw in a waterfox thread, it's not enabled, has no lists added or setup and is clearly early-stage.

  • There is a reason their stock was like 600x price:earnings, now it's "only" 242x. Tech stocks are aggressive at 30-80x.

    When the fix is in, the fix is in.

  • What is the reverse of eating the onion? I thought it was satire the entire article and kept waiting for the piece that made it clear it was a joke to allow for the laugh, I'm at the uncomfortable stage of thinking this is legitimate.

  • enforcement of existing consumer protection and anti-monopoly laws would do wonders(or tax, wage and hour, vehicle and many others). We actually have some pretty decent laws, they have either been deliberately underfunded, avoided per lobby or overruled by appointed activist judges.

    Pretty much the only way out is fire and force it seems, as history shows.

  • Just imagining Clippy in front of a cracked mirror, "jessss a little more rouge and you can't have too much mascara...."

  • I can't think of anyone I would rather give unalterable biometric information to than a group of egomaniacal sadists who have shown utter disregard for the privacy of everyone as well as the legal code.

  • Curtis's "Sweedish" accent was at least as offensive...

  • Omniscient, omnipotent Business Leaders: "what? There is a catch?!?"

  • The natural extension of a non-open internet ala Reddit and charging developers for API pulls.

  • Who are owned by private equity for sovereign wealth funds pushing for nothing but returns. Hence they don't care if they sign on the line with Goebbels or enshittify their product into uselessness.
