But what about Galactic Empire?

Doesn't everyone know that dihydrogen monoxide can be lethal? https://www.csun.edu/science/ref/humor/dhmo.html


I can't believe this is still around. I remember printing this out to show my science teacher decades ago.


Of course it's still around. They're still putting this crap in schools!


Probably includes something insane like "By allowing your website to be crawled by google spiders, you agree to the following terms...."


Ok, by not objecting withing 5 seconds you hereby agree to let me shoot you in the head.


It’s not just for people with ADHD. Someone will build this very soon and people will use it a lot. Hopefully Apple builds it because I guess I trust them a little more.


Washing dishes and hanging clothes out aren’t actually torture.


One of the most indulgent approaches when money is no object, is to have enough luxurious time to be able to fix your own food, do your own dishes, and wash your own laundry.


I don't like using a dryer even when I had one. Its way too taxing on the fabrics.

Its nice to have as a last resort or during winter tho.


Very true statement; but, it’s certainly neither convenient nor the least bit enjoyable, either.


I've been handwashing my dishes for a long time and now have a dishwasher. One of the main benefits is having a place to store the dirty dishes until there are enough to make it worth washing. I used to do 3 washes a day, with 2 tiny ones.


I quite like hanging out the clothes to dry - bit of sunshine and birdsong, something to do with my hands while my brain plots and schemes.


We bought a dishwasher about 5 years ago. Still haven't used it. True story.


While I agree with this concept, I don't think it is applicable here. Docker compose files and k8s yaml are basically just two different syntaxes, saying the same thing. Translating from one syntax to another is one of the best use cases for an LLM in my opinion. Like anything else you should read it and understand it after the machine has done the busy work.


I bet there’s already a conversion library for it. Translating from one syntax to another _reliably_ should be done with a dedicated library. That being said, I don’t disagree that using an LLM can be helpful to generate code to do the same.

Have a look at https://kompose.io/ as well.


I avoid it at all costs because of the possibility of liver damage. Ibuprofen seems to have the same effect without potentially serious side effects.


The drawback of Ibuprofen is that it tends to cause damage to stomach and intestinal linings. That's why you are advised to take with food and/or lots of water. You don't want it absorbing all in one place. Long term use exacerbates the effect, making it more likely to cause ulcers and eventually internal bleeding. My partner ended up in the hospital with a serious internal bleed caused by taking Ibuprofen daily for chronic pain. I'm not saying don't use it, just be aware of the risks.

Ibuprofen is possibly worse than that, it seems that it may interfere with sex hormones. [1]

This 2017 study I found in 30s of searching is seemingly underpowered at n=30 or so, but the (preliminary) implication is awful enough that I won't give my boys ibuprofen at all. Out of abundance of caution.

They can have naproxen or acetaminophen instead -- we keep those out of reach and teach our children not to touch them without adults.

Perhaps there is some more recent research?

And also kidney failure in prolonged use, usually in patients with any sort of previous kidney damage.


Ibuprofen is anti inflammatory which paracetamol isn't. IIRC this means ibuprofen can hide infections. I had a doctor friend who avoided its use as generic pain relief for that reason.


But for muscular/joint pain the anti-inflammatory aspect is a feature, not a bug. And I'd guess that's what most long term user's target is?

Again and again, this hepatologist makes his message clear: "Acetaminophen (Paracetamol) is the safest anti-fever and anti-pain medicine even among patients with liver disease. It is the first choice for fever and pain management even in advanced cirrhosis."

Look for some of his other posts on the topic for studies and citations.


People will still happily use paracetamol when drinking or "for hangover" (headache and all that), hitting their liver really hard. :(


I take the OG: Aspirin.


Ibuprofen and other NSAID result in a ton of hospitalizations each year due to gastric bleeding.


I know folks that got ulcers; from both ibuprofen, and Aleve.

I take acetaminophen, but only occasionally.


Out, out, damned spot!


I don’t give a shit about first amendment interpretations and I agree completely that laws need an update. How about this: ban biometric detection. Ban facial recognition. Throw the CEO in jail if a company breaks the ban. That would be a good use of government power. Fuck the surveillance state, it’s not a place I want to live - and we don’t have to accept it.


You can move to Portland![1] (also, our cherry trees are blooming, very pretty)

i’d go a step further

This American is all for banning facial recognition, with stiff penalties for the person in charge of any company or agency who breaks this ban. The US is not China and the government exists to serve and protect its citizens. At least in theory.


Ironic since the Chinese already banned facial recognition.


I believe he meant the US doesn't harvest its citizens' organs and sell them for cash



Last time I checked the US still allows prison slave labour and medical experiments on its prison population.
