  • Shopping trolleys are a rich source of materials for the aspiring welding fabricator. Road signs can also be good but they get banged around.

  • I remember being puzzled by this and many other numbers that kept cropping up. 32, 64, 128, 256, 1024, 2048... Why do programmers and electronic engineers hate round numbers? The other set of numbers that was mysterious was timber and sheet materials. They cut them to 1220 x 2440mm and thicknesses of 18 and 25mm. Are programmers and the timber merchants part of some diabolical conspiracy?

  • This is a lovely gesture, but also it's pretty sad (and very North American?) that if your car dies at the store you can't get home without relying on the tenuous kindness of strangers

  • We should feel compassion towards addicts. Yes, even car addicts.

  • Em dash will sour your milk and lose your car keys. It will cause your socks to become odd pairs and fart in the lift when your crush alights. Em dash is responsible for the failure of the mars climate orbiter but ran a successful misinformation campaign against SI units.

  • 71% of Americans say the US should spend more on "assistance to the poor". But if you use the word "welfare" that number drops to 30%

  • It's the business model that shareholders love and seems to be fairly ubiquitous. Eventually these corporations undergo trial by anti trust as their influence becomes increasingly toxic e.g. Google. The concentration of power into the hands of a few people is a problem with large hierarchies generally, ordinary people end up doing whacky stuff on the whim of someone that you never meet or know in any meaningful way.

  • To those in countries where democracy might last another election - harm reduction is not optional

  • FPTP is the real winner here. It's why we have Trump. Why can't we vote for proportional representatives or ranked choice?

  • Republicans and Democrats in Secret Talks to Create a Third Party

  • I'm confused, I thought they didn't like each other? Almost as if it's all fake sentiment and the real game is the corporate sponsorship. Watching Obama yuck it up with Trump lately was a slap in face. Holy shit, could it be any more obvious. You already have alternatives to the status quo, just vote for them.

    First past the post is not democracy, it's kleptocracy.

  • If it's the particular words that are the issue you have a bigger problem than just helping the poor, which is a laudable goal. Hups, I just used an obscure word and alienated the dummies.

    A favourite cognitive bias is the role of emotions in persuasion and decision making. Arguments are much more persuasive if they make us feel good, regardless of the evidence.

    It's interesting to watch an AI reason these issues because we're reasonably sure it doesn't have feelings and should be immune to the pitfalls of having an ego.

    TIL the CIA secretly drugged hospital patients, prisoners, and soldiers with LSD as part of MKUltra

  • The Americans found an unfinished Nazi research project on LSD and took the obvious next step, added it to the list of crimes against humanity. No, wait, that's not what happened.

    The history of LSD is tragic, given what we now know about its therapeutic properties. Tripped by Norman Ohler is an interesting text on the subject.

  • Australia’s had two more years of gambling ad harm since the Murphy report. It’s time for Labor to show some courage

  • Gambling addiction is a medical issue in exactly the same way every other addiction is a medical issue. We are busy designing a world of addictions, due to the profit motive. Food, games, phones, all have been cynically designed to be as addictive as possible and lure in the children that conservatives claim to be so concerned about. It's time to ban conservatives and solve this problem and all the other problems that are caused by too much conservatism. The only thing they don't conserve is the environment, which is collapsing around us.
