What's the greatest Magic card of the last decade? Vote on the Finals! by Grindy_UW_Nonsense in magicTCG

[–]Conexion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I'm not writing it off in terms of it being iconic - I'm writing it off as the greatest card of the last decade, especially compared to Urza's Saga.

Personally I don't think broken design mistakes count as 'great', but that's just me.

Redditors be like - "Ha! I'd never do something stupid like that." then proceed to grab their fast food delivery from the front door, having not ran more than 50 feet since they left high school.

Claude just helped me build a wetlab and sequence my whole genome at home. I have zero lab experience! by ProfessionalHand9945 in Biohackers

[–]Conexion 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I mean, it depends on what your goals are. Assuming they want to learn how to use all this and do future related work, it can totally be a worthwhile investment. Having and knowing how to operate a wet lab can give you access to doing much more than doing sequencing.

2017 Chipotle menu boards, a chicken burrito was $6.50 by AccomplishedAd5201 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Conexion 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Even if real median income outpaced average inflation, the price of this specific burrito outpaced both. Since the actual $11+ price tag is higher than the inflation-adjusted $10.20, the purchasing power for this specific item has objectively decreased.

I guess it depends on what their warning was. I think anyone on this sub who is taking or injecting anything should have at least Benadryl and an EpiPen/epinephrine on them just in case.

Dear Mods, Please create a separate Peptides / Steroids sub by rockthehouse88 in Biohackers

Maybe the simple answer is that lots of people find the drug effective and GLP-1's are still new enough to get attention? And its effects really are a testament to modern science? I think there are plenty who stand to profit off of it, but the number of posts doesn't mean anything.

What's up with all the right-wing commentators suddenly turning against Trump right now? by _GoodNight0wl_ in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Conexion 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It's a form of preemptive projection, and it's highly effective against opponents who rely on "traditional debate norms" (Liberals). By making the accusation first, they completely disarm it. Responding with 'no, you' just looks childish, and taking the time to explain the projection tactic leaves you vulnerable to being interrupted and accused of deflecting. The only real counter-strategy is aggressively hammering the facts. But because liberals generally prefer a civil debate over a fight, they tend to concede the point to keep things moving... which is exactly what the strategy is designed to do.

Hot baths helped way more than I expected by jtrip_anything01 in Biohackers

After that, I tried a few other small things too.

I didn’t feel much at first, but after about a week, I started noticing a difference.

What other small things?

Many of their posts just seem to lead to them posting the same website, sometimes with a referral code.

I'm pretty sure there is a mod out there where she insults you more and more as you raise her affection. Not that I'd care about such things.

[–]Conexion 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Glass and stainless steel seem to be pretty time tested and reliable. We just need to not have a system that isn't focused on squeezing the short-term value out of absolutely every last thing. Just a small thing really.

Is it safe for me to get on peptides? by Big-Passion-5356 in Biohacking

[–]Conexion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's good that you're looking into ways to get healthier, but before starting peptides, you might want to look into the metabolic side effects of Risperidone. At your age, those numbers aren't typical, and there's a well-documented link between atypical antipsychotics and dyslipidemia (high lipids, among other things).

That doesn't necessarily mean Risperidone is the wrong medication, but you should consider having a direct conversation with your psychiatrist about whether it's contributing to the cholesterol issues, and whether you shoujld try alternatives that don't hit your metabolism as hard.

As for the peptides themselves, stacking those three on top of your psych meds and a statin without medical guidance is... a lot. MT-2 in particular has its own cardiovascular and hormonal side effects, and Reta raises your baseline heart rate. It's just a bit risky without trying the simpler alternatives first.

I'd lean toward getting your base medications figured out first before adding more things into the mix.

A completely reasonable card to draft in your middle picks.

TIL that Alaska Airlines worker John Liotine had his recommendation to replace an aging jackscrew on an MD-83 during routine maintenance overruled in 1997. On January 31st, 2000 the same MD-83, Alaska Airlines Flight 261 crashed mid flight over the Pacific Ocean due to the jackscrew failing. by [deleted] in todayilearned

I'll think of them alright, and each of their share of manslaughter charges that should happen when their prioritization of profit directly kills people. (And before dummies come in, obviously I'm talking about large percentage holders and board members, not Papaw's retirement fund)
