Ah, the first step on the road to eugenics.

The Nuclear industry actually makes an effort to clean up after itself. Coal wouldn't be such a big deal if they captured the carbon before it hit the atmosphere.

PlayStation is a walled garden and Sony recently pulled a collection of digital movies from people's accounts. Valve might enshitrify someday but they haven't yet. Digital rights on Sony are already being abused.

Bulk Barn does that! A bunch of bins; you scoop what you need and pay by weight. Good for spices and other baking ingredients. No fish oil though.

The Fermi Paradox doesn't seem that paradoxical when you see a map like this. Civilizations could be screaming into the void for millenniums without reaching the other side of the galaxy. Signal strength drops fast too. How would would ever distinguish a faded signal from background noise?

Scrum made my workplace better. It is run by peers, not management though.

I don't think it is wrong to be concerned about this. We live in an era of mass surveillance and control. This is just one more tool that governments and corporations can use to control and surveil.

It starts as a DOB field but then escalates to an always online requirement where your full identity is passed along to every app and website. We've seen this happen across mobile phones and social media; I don't want it on my PC.

No, but I am on a well that has too much fluoride. Several times the amount that municipalities would put in. I don't want someone in the same position as me to misinterpret the study and not reduce their fluoride to a safe level.

Safe at the levels being added by municipalities. At higher concentrations, Fluoride can do some nasty stuff, like skeletal fluorosis. So don't take this paper to mean any amount of fluoride is safe.

Coordinate with a handful of friends for a few days of this and it would be a real mess. People might have to take the bus!
