  Dammit, take my upvote.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you ever worry that you're secretly a psychopath that unknowingly manipulates people around you?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly… a psychopath is not worried about being a psychopath.

  I came to the exact same decision a few months ago.

  DDG used to be worse; now it’s better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is alcohol measured in percentages?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes but I figured a pretty good approximation. I’m actually curious how much of a difference it would actually make.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is alcohol measured in percentages?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Which is basically the same since 1g of water is 1ml.

  Because you’re paying attention. More mental effort.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do bees/pollinators pollinate other plants?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I would point out that the furry bees transfer more pollen, which leads to more of the plants and ultimately flowers that the bee likes.

  Therefore the furry bees have an advantage by increasing their own food supply.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have a small problem with my hearing, but it's night-time right now and I'm not sure if I should go to the ER right now, or wait till morning. Advice?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Audiologist here.

  We treat it like a medical emergency. Reason being if it is a sudden sensorineural loss then they would start you on Prednisone asap. It may help to preserve your hearing.

  We think it needs started within a few weeks but earlier is probably better.

  That being said, it might not be a sudden sensorineural loss. A hearing test would tell you.

  In my experience having seen many actual sudden sensorineural losses over the years, the treatment doesn’t necessarily help in many cases. It’s a last ditch effort really to preserve what we can. Personally, I would probably just wait for morning but I would tell a patient to go immediately.

  I made my old brother a wifi printer with the help of a raspberry pi.

  I printed a ton of documents in university with a black and white brother printer. All my notes were always printed, for example.

  Still have it over a decade later.
