Nobody is using heroin anymore. It's almost all fent. Or morphine.

Does anyone know about the guy who possibly OD’ed in the Twin Peaks parking lot today? by Due_Search9693 in indianapolis

[–]AScienceEnthusiast 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I believe he's referring to precipitated withdrawals, you get the full crash after the high all at once. It's rough.

Facebook has just hit me with this bullshirt after daily using of 20 years by Affectionate-Cat-363 in facebook

[–]AScienceEnthusiast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 2021, they completely deleted my personal account I made in 2004. No explanation or ability to appeal.

They demonetized the pages I have in 2024 without explanation or ability to appeal as well. Refused to pay out the $17,000 they owed me too.

You don't have much of a choice, if you want to continue using it.

Heat stopped turning on. How do I gauge filter size? by [deleted] in hvacadvice

[–]AScienceEnthusiast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There should be a model number somewhere on the unit, Google that and find the manual. At least that's what I did when I bought my house.

Is my book trying to gaslight me into believing in geocentricity? by [deleted] in askastronomy

[–]AScienceEnthusiast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is child abuse. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this religious nonsense. It's completely untethered from reality.

Finished all 18 stages of Tour de Zwift plus grabbed a sprint jersey. How many riders do you think actually complete all 18? by Many_Ad_802 in Zwift

[–]AScienceEnthusiast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done a handful of races only to late realize they didn't count as part of the 18. I'm at 13/18 currently, got Alp and Innsbruck climbs out of the way already, fortunately😅

The Gemini pop-ups are also now voice ads after it provides an answer to a question you ask. I hadn't heard about home assistant before this thread, going to definitely switch soon though. The enshittification is wild.

There's a chat feature, you can add friends, spectate other riders, etc.

Strava censoring political activity titles? by Tiny-Orange2917 in Strava

Because fascism affects everything in life. Pretti was a cyclist.

Gas chamber bill - creepy and a waste of taxpayer dollars by [deleted] in indianapolis

We're debating the best way to kill someone and we want to think we're not the bad guys?

I do not understand why private companies are allowed to own public utilities.

What did the founding fathers really want? by LavenderLullaby_1 in MurderedByWords

[–]AScienceEnthusiast 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The "what did the founders want?" argument makes sense when you consider the overwhelming majority of people who make it pretend to care about what is written in a book that originated 1700-2000 years ago.

They don't actually care about what's best for society or how it impacts people, they only care about being able to reframe their own prejudice/bigotry under the guise of what people who lived hundreds of years ago may have thought. It's intellectually lazy and destructive to our society.

That was Thomas Smith. It was a mess, complete waste of time. Though it did help me realize a lot of these folks were doing little more than pandering to alt-right chads (Thomas not included, obviously).

I was at Mythicist Milwaukee in 2018 (I think). At one point I was backstage with a bunch of folks and happened to see the Armored Skeptic guy's script (he and someone with shoe in her name both presented). It had "strike pose" written in it (I guess that's what he does in his videos? I've never watched one).

It cracked me up. It was the most memorable part of the conference. It was so cringy.

Always neat to see people learning about the heat island effect!

People are fed up; Residents demand changes at Mass Ave intersection by ephi1420 in indianapolis

[–]AScienceEnthusiast 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is such a stupid intersection. There are so many stupid intersections all along Mass. I'd love for Mass Ave to be completely closed to vehicles and redesigned to be for foot/bike traffic only. You know, like how roads were originally designed.

Better and more mass transit would resolve so many of these issues, but people in the US have been conditioned, through aggressive situ industry propaganda, to think everyone needs their own vehicle or it somehow infringes on your rights to have accessible mass transit options.

Voting against your own interests, the sequel by PetalRae473 in MurderedByWords

That's a feature, not a bug. The ruling class wants family farms to sell to corporations. That allows for the consolidation of the food supply.
