I had to reinstall #octoprint, which means I'm restarting my journey to hit all the achievements! #3Dprinting

The proof for this is trivial to find: Compare illnesses in naturally high fluoride ground water areas with low fluoride areas.

Oh wait. They did. The only difference was in tooth decay and related diseases, and it was the low-F areas that suffered more.

Germany gave people €1,200/month no strings attached.

They kept working, slept better, switched to better jobs, and even gave more to others.

Turns out, when people aren’t drowning, they swim further.

#UBI doesn’t kill ambition, it frees it.

It's been shown again and again that when tested in the real world, UBI leads to in on increase in well-being and entrepreneurship.

Over on twitter this would be classed on cryptids.

B is clearly a giant form of a real thing.
A has only been rumored to exist.

Brutal

Must have been a good year for ergot.

Signing up for ZipRecruiter is like being adopted by a "helpful" Uncle who really wants you to get a job, but has no idea what you actually do, no matter how many times you've explained it.

Come to think of it, have
@asavage.bsky.social and @jamesgunn.bsky.social ever been seen in the same room together?

Every developer and city planner should be forced to watch this, Clockwork_Orange-Style, at least once a week. www.youtube.com/shorts/2zu05...

I'm not going to lie. Every time I see a picture of James Gunn, my brain says "Adam Savage on his Villain Arc"

I've got to say that I have some of the same questions for everyone who claims to have copies, but has only threatened to release them.

I know this is a crazy idea, but what if we set tariffs based entirely on independently measured things like the Freedom Index, and the Democracy Index, and invite other countries to do the same for us to keep us honest?

I'm a woke person who knows why blackface is wrong, but sometimes I have my doubts about other "woke" people. Many just learned it's offensive without thinking why.

There are other forms of false representation that are far more insidious & damaging precisely because we find them less offensive.

To websites like Smithsonianmag.org. I'm often willing to turn off my ad blocker to support you, but I'm not turning off Privacy Badger, that only blocks ads that DON'T RESPECT MY "DO NOT TRACK" SETTINGS. If you want to show me ads, be better.

I'm getting old, and starting to have opinions about "the way TV used to be..."
Things I miss:

Likable characters and >20 episodes/year * N>2 years.

A BIT of suspense without pouring a new source on every episode.

The ongoing story arc is allowed to fall into the background sometimes.

"In the long run, there is no distinction between arming ourselves and arming our enemies." — Norbert Wiener.

That's why I think we should arm our enemies with the thing that can be extremely powerful, yet still limited to justifiable actions: the rule of law.

Finally a corporation is reacting to what’s happening here. Don’t be surprised that it’s not a car company or a shampoo brand. They’re all still pretending that life is normal.

It’s a bookstore.

Barnes and Noble fills their store display windows with Orwell’s 1984 and Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale.

Sarah the chocolate lab looking happy to be heading the beach.

Sarah approves.

It's never your fault that you were lied to, but we've all been lied to. Part of adulting is putting in the mental effort to figure out who's full of BS.

Of course, the fact that he was already a chiro tells you how much mental effort he typically expends.

Which is a species of deer. Also, the local term there would be älg, aka elk.

Corporate Sponsors Pull Support For Juneteenth Celebrations Canceled federal grants and businesses moving away from so-called brand activism have hit the bottom line of events marking the end of slavery in the U.S.

Somebody needs to compile a list, although something tells me most of the companies are already on my list.

Which reminds me: everybody still avoiding Target? Good.

I scored 5/6

It was also educational. Today I learned that Slate considers "science."
There were
2.5 science questions (taxonomy, biochemistry and astronomy-but-phrased-as-astrology)
1 technology product trivia
1 mathematics
1 total woo (collective unconscious)

We know it's not actually #caturday, but don't tell him. He deserves two this week.
