  • A known side effect of Ibuprofen (and most NSAIDs) is sweating, so the faster release tabs that aren't in your system as long and thus clear out faster, dont have that aide effect... maybe

  • For using msbuild or vsbuild to build C projects.

    Can be installed standalone but it's typically just easier to install the full VS suite because on a shared runner it's better to include the entire kitchen.

  • TIL that the term "marijuana" has a racist history, and meant to play off of anti-immigrant sentiments.

  • When cocaine usage first exploded, it was almost entirely in "laborers, youths, black people, and the urban underworld". Most of the early history of its usage is associated with non-whites and lower class peoples. Making it illegal worked for a long time until the cocaine boom happened and then it became popular with disco and rock, but again, still mostly used by non-whites. It wasn't until crack became a thing that the racial divide became more clear - rich whites got the clean cocaine, everyone else got addicted to crack.

    The switch to being heavily used by the rich white class is a "relatively" recent development.

  • Signal does not. https://signal.org/bigbrother/santa-clara-county/

    Tl;dr: Signal gave the court timestamps for three out of nine phone numbers that the court demanded data on. The timestamps were the dates three phone numbers last registered their accounts with Signal. That’s it. That is all the data there was to give.

    This is why I use Signal. This is why I donate monthly to Signal.

  • The no-poo (no shampoo) movement is very real and definitely works for many people (dependant on hair type and oil secretions). Basically, once you stop washing away your natural oils daily, the production normalizes and then a regular rinse with water and occasionally something like diluted soap, lemon juice or apple cider vinegar.

    I've met them, I was one, I know them. You wouldn't know unless they told you.

  • Back when there were numerous loopholes, deductions, and methods of evasion and nearly none paid that rate? And when they later lowered effective rates, closed loopholes, and ended up collecting more?

    Yeah, let's do that. Let's incentive finding ways to avoid paying taxes.

    This is exactly how you give incentives to higher CEO pay. Record profits? Give all of it to the CEO and you'll pay none of it to the government. You didn't mention a higher personal tax rate, so end of the day the CEO wins.

    Own an S-Corp? Pass through all profits to yourself and pay 0%.

  • ...? Did you even look at the picture? That's 60-70%+ of the brands in any major retailer. It a bit of an oversight to suggest that poor decision making is leading to buying from these shit companies. You have to actually go out of your way to NOT buy one of these brands.

  • I don't know what sort of copium you're smoking. I lived in rural Michigan for most of my life. Train is absolutely not a viable mode of transportation for rural America. There's a reason trains and subways still exist on the east coast of America and in most or Europe, Asia, and south America - they are useful.

    They died out everywhere else because guess what, they are not ideal at all, and the convenience factor of cars is basically unbeatable. Even if we had a high-speed rail connecting our major cities, okay, how do I get to my destination? Another train? What about when I live 35 miles from the city center.... another train...? Sounds absolutely atrocious

  • .Assumimg youre refering to the US, fixed rail is not a feasible mode of transportation for 90+% (ignoring something like a subway or monorail) of travel in modern America. Intra-city or between a major metropolis, sure. But that still exists... you can still take them... because the utility of them keeps them alive...

  • People with drastically more information, data, and money decided this is the right call. These decisions are not made in a box and the town (mayor/chamber of commerce) is always involved.

    What if the reason more people don't stop in the town is because the narrowwness made it a difficult to visit the town?

    People drastically more involved than any of us decided this is the correct course of action to revitalize the downtown.

  • It's a few hundred year old town that refuses to grow. It's not a historic site. It's just some old town that uses to exist due to the historic limitations of transportation.

    A town that's been stagannt for 60 years doesn't yell "I'm important"

  • When small towns start disappearing, it's often because they are no longer economically or socially relevant. Decline of local industries, reduced agricultural activity, lack of job opportunities, population migration...

    The town is clearly on a downward trend. 60 years with no growth is not a positive thing.

    Business owners just don't randomly sell because the DOT wants to widen a road.

    The town is already gone.
