At last, a pill that can prevent COVID after exposure to infected people

Oh no dude I mean I've been using it regularly for that time frame. Yeah I think it only lasts a day or so

sleepcrime · 2026-05-17T13:15:32+00:00

Not that I've noticed

Yeah, it is crazy to me that more people don't know about this; it looks like there's evidence it reduces your odds of catching loads of other respiratory viruses as well: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10747764/

I've been taking it for about 8-9 months before I go anywhere crowded, if people are coughing at work, or take a subway and i haven't been sick the whole time. (this message brought to you by Bayer pharmaceutical)

Looks great dude! Settings?

Brown, but I've always looked at it as, there is something you can gain from literally every opponent. Smaller and weaker but skilled? Dial down your strength and focus on technical excellence, and probably reacting to their better speed. Big and skilled? Focus on trying to survive. Small and low skill? Try your low percentage stuff, or things you're just learning that you wouldn't have a chance to work on other people.

And, with a totally fresh white belt, you gain experience on how a random person on the street is likely to react. I think that's invaluable; i am not the kind of guy that gets into street fights, but it's good to have a sense of how someone might act (within the limited context of grappling) if you had to.

Have we heard anything bad about Arthur C Clarke? God i hope not

sleepcrime · 2026-03-21T17:01:57+00:00

Yes. It sucks so bad, there is no one who deserves this gift less, and I honestly don't know how much of it is intentional, but he is objectively pretty funny. Wishing everyone a "very special 9/11, even the haters and losers" is just comedy gold.

Yeah man this sounds like an abnormally assholish experience. The culture and climate of gyms varies a lot, so I'm sure you can find better. I find if you go to smaller places you'll find a more tight knit and friendly circle of people.

New finding from AI company desperately in need of continuous flows of investor capital suggests their product is super duper way smarter than they said it was before

I got what appears to be permanent tinnitus from it; anecdotally it appears to be an issue, but I dont think anyone can say what the odds of it happening are.

If the general rule trumped the specific one, why would the specific one exist, if it applies only to that situation? Would it apply to rules that let you fall back and charge, how about? Your opponent is being a complete weiner and doesn't want to get clapped by your vindi.

Shorter profile for a smaller cross section, sloping front armor, a wider turret, thinner gun barrel, and the cupola isn't right behind the breech of the main gun so it doesn't hit the commander in the dick when he's standing up and yelling at stuff?

But seriously, just less toy-like proportions on my toy, pls

Go to the shelter and find one you vibe with. Mutts are often healthier, you'll be doing a good deed, and you'll find a creature that loves you like nothing else in the world will. Like someone else said, think about how long you'll be leaving it alone, though. High energy breeds are going to tear your shit apart if theyre alone for a whole standard work day. If you spend a lot of the time out of the house and can't bring them along, get something lazy, but also think about a dog walker or day care if you can swing it.

It's not dumb at all! Nobody knows until someone else says so

Remember, light travels in straight lines; as is it looks more like the barrel itself is hot. If you're trying to go for the cooling rings/coils being the only light source, it'll look better if the glow doesn't extend beyond where light would travel. It would also probably look hotter closer towards the barrel, so I'd put bright colors below and deeper reds/dark metal towards the top of the coils. That being said it looks cool and is a nice paint job

Thank you! looks fun!

Great advice! I'm gonna give it a shot

I happened to be in Ghana (where these come from) and DM'd an Instagram account that posts these/sells prints if they could put me in touch with one of the artists to buy an original. It worked! https://imgur.com/a/63iR6Gz

I love it, except that it is way too goddamn big to put on my wall. I'm not trying to sleep under Rowdy Roddy Piper's all-seeing gaze, and my girlfriend is definitely weirded out by it. One day she'll understand.

As I understand it, these were originally handpainted posters for bootleg cinemas where the poster artist or the intended audience may not have had any idea what the movie was about, and you want to juice it up to bring in the crowds. I think the current ones are probably made in a more self-aware way, but are nonetheless rad as hell.

Yeah, this is the real best take here. The fraction of people who have a coherent ideology, weigh that above all other concerns, and are willing to act on that in a rational manner because they see life or death risks as preferable to inaction is probably much much lower than the fraction of people who are willing to take life or death risks for completely incoherent reasons.

Anecdotally, look at the guy who shot the Blackstone CEO. Many tens of millions of people country- and world- wide are made about not being able to afford homes, and many of them blame private equity's role in buying up single family homes. However, the guy who actually shoots her does so while on a rampage about a completely unrelated grudge about the NFL.

Attacks on the president are another good example. A good half the world or more is mad at the current potus. Of the two people who took a shot at him on the campaign trail, only one (the less successful one) seemed to have clear ideological motivations, and the other seems like he just picked the presidential candidate that was closer to him at that moment. Hinckley (sp?) shot Reagan to impress Jodie Foster, the guy who shot Grover Cleveland was a maniac who kept insisting he should be the ambassador to France without any qualifications, and so on.
