I joined in the last beta wave because of your post here on lemmy. Big fan! Personally I’m looking forward to combat features most of all but the pace of development seems strong regardless and I’m enjoying all the new content.

Potassium cyanide. We used a very dilute form of it as a laboratory reagent (a safer alternative to its cousin hydrogen cyanide, in case that’s what you’re thinking of). It just smells clean - sort of like a candle that’s labeled as “fresh laundry” or “spring breeze”.

The words you said aren’t wrong, but in this context it seems like you’re suggesting that the honey in tea might have a similar effect when consumed. That’s not at all supported by this study. Much of honey’s antimicrobial effects are (1) due to its high sugar concentration, and (2) in reference to topical applications. Those conditions don’t exist here.

My go to for most of what you mention is Go, but that’s obviously a compiled language and not for scripting. Or is it - What do you think about https://github.com/traefik/yaegi, which provides an interpreter and REPL for Go? It would let you use a performant and well documented language in a more portable scripting way, but not preclude you from generating statically linked binaries if and when that’s convenient.

And a screenshot with a nearly full battery? They clearly hired well.

This was my favorite detail of the master plan:

Joshua Hunsucker had told two coworkers that if he killed someone he would do so using eyedrops, according to court documents.

Maybe the secret is in the emoji. What the hell does “🫒🦅🏹” mean?

This is probably the worst example to choose, because in the US the generic name is acetaminophen. This is a case where the brand name actually unites understanding of a drug whose chemical name differs by location.

That being said, I still agree with the spirit, let’s stick to referring to the drug and not the brand.

Rust: “Oh honey you aren’t ready to compile that yet”

TL;DR: Magnets. China makes almost all of them so any time we see something that might replace rare earth metals we get excited. In this case because a group made improvements to our ability to synthesize tetrataenite, an iron-nickel alloy, by adding phosphorus.
