Yep, it was a trove of discovery, now its all data gleaning and AI marketing slop, and other garbage.

Here’s one place https://neocities.org/browse

That fog lights on cars used to be able to be turned on with headlights off, so you could actually see betterinf fog. Nowadays the foglights won’t turn on on most vehicles if headlights aren’t on, which really doesn’t help driving, since you still get headlight glare back.

I found that the shiny black chrome looking disks seemed to be better than the purple tint kind. Chemically different media. Its anecdotal, not a scientific tested theory

I think it definitely has gotten a tarnished reputation. But even modern software tiers are standard, advanced, premium and premium means you get all the features at a huge price

Premium.

I don’t have a study, but the tumbling and rubbing wears on clothes, compared to hanging to dry.

Some good shirts you will notice the collar seams and other edges start to wear.

In some cases like jeans and cotton cashual henley style shirts this gives a softening effect.

I tried that decades ago, no results. I don’t wash my face with soap but my T zone is greasy in a few hours after a shower also. And unfortunately I have passed this trait onto my kids.

😀 I have to use soap or the oil eventually drips down my forehead. Lol.

If I recall he was more hung up on the consent part, because he was probably a black and white logic thinker. If Teen consent, therefore OK. I think later he made a statement that he had re-thought it, after people argued that a teen saying yes is not consent because they can’t legally consent.

Pavucontrol is great. Sometimes just entering that GUI has fixed the sound connection for me

Well scientifically it is exactly calories in to your metabolism vs calories burned out.

Whether your body is absorbing those, or too depressed of a system to burn at a normal rate would be the doctor’s investigation.

I lost 40lbs in 7 weeks. Would not recommend. It was from chemo and radiation making so that I vomited any food, and needed a liquid food pump inserted. Your body will be wrecked at that calorie loss.

I wouldn’t know, I don’tstuggle with that. Russell brand being clean more than 7 years from heroin, said that the craving never went away.

Well that’s the trouble with HR, its a person(s) and they are unpredictable. Thankfully where I’m at the HR is good. I had a situation where a coworker was being toxic. I made a complaint and they handled it discretely and in a way that the source wasn’t needed.

That’s just one step and doesn’t break addiction, you need a mental shift and life change to stay away from the drug that holds you

As a man, I choose the unscented antiperspirants. I hate scented stuff.

Ironically when I would bike to work or to an event everyone would be like “OMG you smell amazing, what cologne is that” and I would say its my sweat, and they’d say " no really its great, what is it". And I would repeat I just spent 15 minutes sweating.

Vancouver had some groups, they may have them where you are at.

One was an atheist group meeting weekly to do what churches do as a community gathering, helping out in the local area etc.

Another was the Processions, which was (from what I gather) a church that didn’t talk about god, as trying to describe or talk about god takes away from what god is. So they’d just meet as a community with an understanding they believed in a higher creator.

What does it take to get a counselling cert etc. Out our way therapists and psychologists charge $120-150 per hour to listen to peoples problems. Some work from their own house.

It might be wise to talk to your boss or HR to have a written record of the situation, and ask they don’t act on it. Just in case the person is one that takes rejection really badly and goes to HR to say you sexually harassed her
