Someone please correct me if I’m mistaken, but Narcan (naloxone) is not used for overdoses on non-opiod drugs like meth or LSD. As other commenters have pointed out it specifically binds to opioid receptors, so it’s not going to be useful for a drug that operates via a different primary mechanism. The same goes for THC, which binds to cannabinoid receptors instead. Frankly, I would expect a medical professional to just know this.

You should verbally indicate that you don’t wish to answer questions rather than staying totally silent. That said, there are circumstances where cooperating can make your life easier if you’re able to easily and clearly dispel the officer’s suspicion, though this is highly dependent on situation and the specific cop you’re dealing with. If you are doing something wrong the best thing is always to stfu.

According to the link you provided, every US state has implied consent laws which trigger an automatic DL suspension if you refuse a breathalyzer.
- Comment on Not promoting hate speech but what happened to all the slights/slurs/vulgarity from like the 20s and 40s. There were so many. Now it seems well I can only think of three? 2 months ago:
From what I can find online, it seems like it’s unlikely that particular term was originally meant to refer to slave masters and it moreso referred to the head of household.

Wow, this is my first time learning this. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it written so I assumed it was spelled “jipped” and never made the connection.
- Comment on Why does good faith matter ? 6 months ago:
That’s just called arguing in good faith.
- Comment on If not intentially a minority and I get into a fight and I did not know they were gay, palestinian, jewish, or whatever. Can I still be charged with a hate crime? Or does one have to know first? 7 months ago:
Generally speaking, hate crimes are only applicable to crimes motivated by a hatred for an immutable trait. Social or political ideology isn’t immutable, so it wouldn’t be protected.
- Comment on What are the best options for computers that explicitly support linux operating systems? 8 months ago:
Gateway is a special case since it connects two systems and on Wayland it uses the scaling of the “server” system rather than the host. This is a pretty unique class of issue, at least in my experience. To be honest, I’m not even sure if it works correctly on X11.
- Comment on What are the best options for computers that explicitly support linux operating systems? 8 months ago:
I honestly haven’t had that experience at all with Framework, at least on Plasma Wayland. All of the apps I use play very nice with scaling (with the exception of apps through JetBrains Gateway, but that’s a different can of worms).
- Comment on Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message? 8 months ago:
So I will gloss over, see if it’s addressed to me, of not I will probably wait until it becomes my problem to react/reply
Tbh I would rather have someone do this not realizing I’m expecting a reply from them than to reply only to some of it, because when the latter happens it’s usually like pulling teeth to get a response to the rest.
- Comment on Why dont more people live in smaller communities , appart from economic opportunity (WFH is making it possible if not prefferable too) 8 months ago:
Out of curiosity, what region are you in? I live in a city of ~80,000 in the northeastish US and I’m not even sure it’s possible to be more than 5 or 10 minutes from a grocery store here.
- Comment on Is it possible to design a (pen and paper) cipher that is secure against government cryptanalysis for at least 10 years? 9 months ago:
That’s assuming the key and message are entirely independent. If you or the recipient isthe type of person or doing the types of things that would attract surveillance from a nation state (because realistically that’s the one of the only scenarios where non-esoteric privacy practices might not cut it), it’s not unrealistic that they’d intercept both your digital and physical mail and would be able to correlate them.
- Comment on Is it possible to design a (pen and paper) cipher that is secure against government cryptanalysis for at least 10 years? 9 months ago:
This is how all modern cryptography works. A deterministic cipher is functionally no different from pig Latin when it comes to actual security. A modern solution like public key cryptography is infinitely more secure. If you’re especially paranoid you can generate the cryptotext locally and send it by email; that would be infinitely more secure than anything you could achieve by hand.
- Comment on What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM? 10 months ago:
Unless something’s gone over my head here, this is off by around 6 orders of magnitude.
- Comment on [deleted] 10 months ago:
Putting aside the braggadocio here, find someone that makes you happy and that you enjoy spending time with. But also, try to quit the habit of framing human relationships in clinical, strictly biological language. It’s frankly quite weird and off-putting and comes across as antisocial.
- Comment on Are mood problems a “turn off” for people even when they’re hard to manage? 10 months ago:
It sounds like you ruined it for yourself. Judging from all of your replies and especially this one in particular, you seem to lack the ability to take basic accountability for your own actions. I would suggest reflecting on the cause-and-effect in the anecdotes you’ve shared and try to visualize how they might played out were the roles reversed and other people spoke to/treated you the way that you describe treating them. Even if you have some degree of sociopathy (I’m not a mental health professional by any means), you should still be able to reflect on these situations on an intellectual and objective level and consider that you might be the cause of these conflicts.
- Comment on If trump never won the electoral college in 2016, would he have been able to have another chance at becoming president (aka: 2020, 2024 elections)? 11 months ago:
I’m not a constitutional lawyer, but I don’t think this is right at all. Whether or not he “technically” won in 2016, the election was officially certified and he went on to serve a 4 year term. That term isn’t invalidated even if electoral irregularities are discovered after the fact.
- Comment on Is there any security in the communication with Voyager I? 1 year ago:
I mean, you can’t exactly just throw computing power at modern cryptography and expect to get results. I don’t know the exact numbers off the top of my head, but I believe all the computing power on Earth right now would take on the order of at least thousands of years to brute force a good password hash (assuming a strong password), and that’s assuming the attacker already has the salt. This makes it less of a budgetary constraint and much more of a practical one.
- Comment on Is it worth becoming a Confidential Informant in Chicago where I am currently stationed? I was told by a cop that if I need to or can't afford a reckless driving charge I can become a CI? 1 year ago:
You’re generally required to provide identification if you’re arrested and in some US states police can compel you to identify yourself under certain other circumstances, but otherwise yes, in the US you are never required to talk to police beyond this.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
I’m not going to respond with a lot of depth because I don’t think I have a good enough understanding here to be particularly helpful, but I suspect a collar would be considered as inappropriate in a school because of its strong association with BDSM practices alongside the general societal expectation that one’s sexuality is kept out of the public eye. I think that notion can also apply more broadly to the situation as a whole, at least to an outside observer.
- Comment on Is there a subsect of the minimalist community that's focused on portable living? 1 year ago:
Speak for yourself. I buy stuff for my apartment because I want it to feel homey; I don’t really care what other people think of it as long as it looks presentable.
- Comment on What happens when the US runs out of SSNs? 1 year ago:
This generally isn’t true. The SSA makes an effort to assign a unique number to each individual. It’s happened before where two people have accidentally gotten the same SSN, but they try to avoid this.

So, have you actually used a 144 Hz display yourself?
- Comment on How do our brains process reality? I heard our eyes were just low-res cameras and our brains were doing all the heavy lifting in 'rendering' reality. 1 year ago:
Completely untrue and not even up for debate. You’d know this if you had ever used a high-refresh rate display.

You would need to have the right to redistribute the copyrighted material, which is sounds like you don’t.
- Comment on Why do we say, "when I look in the mirror" instead of "when I look in a mirror?" 1 year ago:
My assumption would be that it’s because we don’t really look at mirrors per se but rather the reflection in them, so the definite article is indicating the fungibility of the mirror itself. This total speculation on my part though and I might be totally wrong.
- Comment on Is there a "canvas" of the universe? Do we even know? Would a canvas follow the same laws as the paint? 1 year ago:
The question hits on some of the most fundamental aspects of our current understanding of reality and theoretical physics. As another commenter pointed out, one potential answer delves into QFT. Just because OP used a metaphor doesn’t warrant you saying they had “too many pot brownies” and there’s absolutely no need to be a condescending jerk here.
- Comment on How many floors are under an apartment on the second floor? (No basement) 1 year ago:
Sure, but that only applies when referring to indices or to the zeroth element specifically.
- Comment on How many floors are under an apartment on the second floor? (No basement) 1 year ago:
Even in the CS world, ordinal phrases are still 1-indexed (e.g. the first element of an array vs element 0).
- Comment on Are MRNA vaccines any riskier than other vaccines? 1 year ago:
Not even that, more that the correlation might not be there in the first place.
