You can bring your own containers. They will tare them (ie weigh them and mark them with their mass) and then you can fill them as much or little as you like. On Sundays, you get an extra discount for bringing your own containers.

If you mean the waste of the lives of vulnerable individuals, yes, this bothers me tremendously to the point where it's sometimes difficult to function. I have trouble getting worked up about plastic cups next to actual atrocity against intelligent creatures.

Wow, I tuned out the USA so hard, I missed all of this.

Many people with a uterus don't actually bleed, but still have a cycle. A tracker is helpful to figure out where you are in your cycle when there isn't a big signal you can rely on every period, by logging and tracking other more subtle cues.

It doesn't have a head like that. It places things in a conceptual space, not a numerical space. To it, a number is just an adjective, like a colour. It is learning to play chess by looking for language-like patterns in the game's transcript. It is never attempting to model the contents of the board in it's "mind".

A proper Faraday cage, a truly excellent one, just the most Faraday of all the cages, is easily defeated by physical attacks such as getting your phone cloned when you get mass arrested and summarily released on OR.

Oh! Shit! Steve Paiken! I really respect his skills. He often winds up interviewing people I have a beef with, and while maintaining a good relationship with his interview subject, he still asks all the questions I would want asked. His ability to make the subject feel safe and respected while giving them difficult questions often results in surprisingly frank answers.

That is incompatible with growing wealth disparity. And the rich will always try to get richer.

Earthing Ed and Joey Carbstrong are both very skilled. Ed has superhuman cool.

emacs has been with me since the 16-bit era, across paradigms, across generations, across careers. When I use emacs I think in terms of what the elisp is doing. It's such a deep and developed relationship, I would be throwing away so much personal power to use anything else.
