Have you been playing Starfield? This is related to something in the game.

I love “The Dollop” episode on action park. The Dollop hosts were the guests on BTB episode on Kissinger.

The Dollop is a great history podcast. Tends to be a little on the light-hearted side (but not always)

I switched from slashdot to Digg. Digg to Reddit when Digg started censoring the Blu-Ray decryption key (before v4), then was on Reddit until RIF shut down. I’m scheduled to get my 16 year badge this year I think. I haven’t posted or commented since RIF shut down though.

I’m debating whether to sell my account or delete it. $75 could buy a lot of printer filament.

Brine them in Vicker’s sauce for 24 hours, place in a bowl or ziplock bag and toss in a heavy dark sauce like Stubb’s, Corky’s, or Jack Daniels. Smoke and caramelize the bbq sauce. Then, optionally, give a thin coat of BBQ sauce again for messy wings.

Stubb’s original is my favorite.

I’d make one exception: cotton wants to hold water. Evaporative cooling needs water to evaporate. There are synthetic materials that will hold much less water, so they’ll weigh less from sweat and evaporate more quickly, providing a tiny bit more cooling. Plus many have protection from the sun reducing the amount of sunscreen that has to be worn.

There are a line of shirts known as “fishing shirts” that are made to be big, and they have vents to encourage air to circulate inside them. They work great.

In the American southeast, especially in a river Delta, you can’t live in a house long without AC or a dehumidifier. Mold will grow to toxic levels quickly in a house that’s left without electricity for very long in areas around me.

We have trouble opening our front door in the summer when the temp gets above 38 due to the humidity causing the wood door to swell. The heat index reached 47 last week due to the high humidity so there’s a ton of water in the air.

Friend of a friend sued an antibiotic manufacturer. I think it was Cipro? He started a course for something then a few days in snapped and stabbed someone several times. His claim was that the Cipro caused him to become violent. I don’t think my friend is friends with them anymore.

Regarding Teams, you mean it’s a web app on mobile? I thought the MS Teams Windows application was written in that API that uses insane amounts of resources for what it does (although it does work, so I’m not necessarily criticizing using a library that works).

It’s common sense that if aging were solved tomorrow, it would be patented and the wealthiest 3% would enjoy much longer lives, while the working class wouldn’t see much change.

Incidentally, longer life would allow even more accumulation of money and power, making inequality worse.

Plus side: billionaires now consider climate change threat #1 and use many more resources to solve it compared to today, rather than only care about the next 40-50 years.
