Mark Cuban is a difficult one. He has reduced drug prices to the cost plus a profit margin (which is low*) and so its like “Wow somebody cares!” And this has benefited thousands. But then he says I might fund a new venture and sell Cost Plus Drugs one day; So really he doesn’t care, he’s looking for a big buyer to come in and offer a huge payout to stop the big pharma company losses.
- Comment on Do you remember every single scene and dialogue of a show or movie you just watched? 1 day ago:
My daughter does. I’ll quote a funny line from a movie, and she’ll correct me with the actual quote.
Not sure how her memory is so amazing for dialog. She did start talking full sentence, with proper syntax, at age two, so maybe its just her gift.
- Comment on Woman died after vegan diet made her delusional 2 days ago:
Let’s correct the headline to poor eating habits/diet led to vitamin B12 deficiency, causing delusions.
Because I haven’t eaten meat in 35 years, and haven’t had any dairy, eggs, etc (vegan) in at least 5 years, and my B12 is fine.
- Comment on So, has age verification really become the new normal? 2 days ago:
Hmm, I haven’t encountered that yet. Does the anonymous google login via stuff like the aurora store and microg still work?
- Comment on So, has age verification really become the new normal? 3 days ago:
Use Newpipe if your are on mobile, it is from the fdroid store. No need to login to watch YouTube

Too much calcium can be a variety of issues. Muscle cramps, confusion, kidney stones etc
- Comment on Break the conditioning, maximize your horsepower. 6 days ago:
The potassium in it is an alternate salt, so you get your electrolytes without the sodium induced blood pressure changes many people experience.

Not sure where you are but a teachers union here wouldn’t allow those shinanegans. Is it different at University level?
- Comment on VK: Product recall notice: Anko long-range walkie talkie 1 week ago:
Reminds me of being a kid in the 80s, the Sears catalog walkie talkies were on the same channel as some trucker CBs. They would get upset at the cross talk.
And my neighbour had a large portable AM / SW radio that looked like any 70-80s style of that era, but It had a listen and talk flip switch on the side for SW. That didn’t seem legal to sell consumer style radio with a broadcast switch.
- Comment on Is evolution only affected by mortality and birth rate? 2 weeks ago:
Random mutations happen, if those with a mutation gain benefits to surviving better than their counterparts then they are evolving to suit the environment. And yes epigenetics play a role also
- Comment on Anon goes back to Windows 10 2 weeks ago:
Yeah so cache it so it doesn’t take time to show you the options. Once you click it can go do bullshit loading. We have a software that used to load and cache the dialogs at first boot and it was fast to use, now it builds the dialog at runtime and is slow to display the options. It sucks.
- Comment on Anon goes back to Windows 10 3 weeks ago:
My coworker complains about Windows daily, I’m like " there are alternatives dude.". But he’s adamant that windows is better. Some people like being abused I guess.
- Comment on Anon goes back to Windows 10 3 weeks ago:
It should cache those until your file extensions get a reg edit, there is no need to build the context menu fresh every time

Heh
- Comment on Your Truck is Stupid Big 3 weeks ago:
A bunch of people have these in my apartment building, I assure you they never haul anything except maybe 3 cases of eater bottles. People are morons buying these as daily drivers to the office.

Its a meme reply
- Comment on Wake up sheeple 5 weeks ago:
Yeah. I saw the first explosion live in the 80s. All the classrooms had their TV AV units rolled in to watch the launch of first women in space or something to that effect. And OHHH that looks bad
- Comment on Wake up sheeple 5 weeks ago:
They have parachutes for a softer landing on water. They aren’t hitting it at terminal velocity from the free fall
- Comment on Wake up sheeple 5 weeks ago:
Except when it exploded
- Comment on Wake up sheeple 5 weeks ago:
Children can have high IQ
- Comment on Wake up sheeple 5 weeks ago:
They have parachutes to slow decent, so its not just a hard drop from space to ocean surfacw
- Comment on What impact is the whole vegetarian/vegan diet having on the price of meat? 1 month ago:
As time moves on and more people might choose a meatless diet, there will be adjustments in pricing with less meat productuon, but also offset by land price probably dropping, since cattle farming takes a lot of crops and space to convert approx 16g of veg protein to 1g of beef protein.

I think some BIOS have a disable option if I recall correctly, but is it actually disabled?
- Comment on If someone is involved in illegal stuff... like say you built a drug empire... do they every get like... therapy for all the times they have to murder someone or almost get murdered? 1 month ago:
Or the revenge type, who go out of their way to harm those that wronged them, they don’t lose sleep because they feel justified. While still having normal empathy for friends and family.
- Comment on we're cooked 1 month ago:
Not sure why you got downvotes, that’s exactly what his followers would think.
I saw a video of a young girl in the middle easyt conflict who’s mom had died. Her response when asked if she was sad about her parents being dead, was less emotion about loss and her words were I’m glad she was martyred, I hope someday I get to do the same. That’s what MAGA will be like.

Then maybe there is a better relationship out there for you.
- Comment on Is there a word for this sort of behavior? 1 month ago:
Even if it can be good sometimes it isn’t worth it if that’s how you feel other times. First step is talking to partner about how you feel, to see if they are commited to making changes to the relationship to help suit what you need. But if they don’t want to, then its probably the wrong relationship for you
