Nah it will just be paywalled and copy protected.

Not ironically this would mess up granny and granddad when they activate it accidentally.

Try earplugs! Even just turning the volume down 70% changes the intensity of words. With earplugs in I could let somebody curse at me to my face and just let it slide. But without, even ambient noises add to a state of unease. A motorcycle driving by has a lot of subtle negative impact to everybody who hears it. You don’t have to be deaf to enjoy the benefits of silence. Hearing is a choice, but most people default to full open.

It’s all about ignorance and intent. If you grow P.somniferum ornamentally, and/or shake it out for seeds it’s fine. You can even sell the dried pods for floral arrangements. But if you make tea out of the dried pods, or milk the latex it’s illegal. Which is insane since the pharmaceutical opioids are so much more harmful and dangerous.

What are you talking about that’s the breadseed poppy.

I don’t want to be brutal or anything but this is a really horrible way to murder 4 people, and the only fitting punishment is to execute her by mushroom poisoning. Notice the timeline it took the survivor 7 weeks to recover, and those who died it was over a week of hospitalized pain and organ failure.

Also her estranged husband is kind of complicit? He suspected attempted poisoning twice before and declined the lunch? But you don’t warn your parents? That might be hard to live with.

The problem is less about the screen and more about algorithmic curation.

I’m a real beginner with this stuff and I read through the install scripts before running them. But it wasn’t for security, I just wanted to see if I could learn some tips since I had already struggled to do it manually.

Not really true for an addictive substance like sugar. It changes your whole taste threshold, and leads to more sugar in everything else you eat. For the same reason diet soda is still bad - it has the same dopamine response in the brain and leads to more real sugar consumption than an unsweetened beverage.

There’s a machine that cores, peels, and makes spiral slice apples. You can then with one knife cut turn it into rings, which dry easily in a food dehydrator. If you’re making juice, I’ve heard a mop bucket works pretty well for pressing. It’s pretty easy to ferment apple juice with cider yeast, champagne yeast, or even beer yeast. If you freeze distill hard cider it becomes apple jack - you freeze hard cider in a bowl and drop it into a salad spinner to leave the frozen water in the center. Apple sauce is also a good base for homemade fruit leather with any other fruit.

A relationship is more than just a promise or commitment. A relationship is a chance for both participants to grow and challenge each other, while also supporting each other. It also makes your domestic life easier, as each partner only does have the work (in a slightly larger quantity). Relationships are not transactional. Each person gives when they have capacity, and each person receives when they don’t. Strengths and weaknesses cancel out and both are better off together.

It sounds like you’re not currently interested in a relationship. Probably best to be up front about that with your candidates.

No, but I would be nice if they charged for mileage separately. That would give a discount to more local businesses. Of course they may also have to bid based on your distance to the hardware store.

If somebody talks about world news or politics, I’d rather drop the conversation. Willful ignorance is about maintaining a good state of mind, and that includes not talking to some people about such topics.

The news is primarily billionaire propaganda. It does not add value to your life. When it’s important you’ll hear about it, and then you can read up. You don’t have to be the first to know. Nothing bad will happen to you for being less informed.

Likewise any time you think about something from the past, it could be the last time you ever think of it.

But they could afford to buy beef from better sources. They could afford for their employees to have a career instead of a job. They could do that and still cost less than McDonalds. Yeah they’re alright compared to the big corporations but they are not improving the world - they are extracting profit from it.

And when it’s sunny on the snow it’s about 4-5 C warmer.

Sorry to hear about your current condition. I have recently stopped drinking coffee, and cut down on the beer, so I’ve been conscious to replace that fluid.

As gout symptoms are very diet related, if I was in your position I would do some sort of fast or juice cleanse for a week or two. Not only does it reset your body, but it also resets your taste buds, making it easier to maintain a healthful diet.

Keep in mind you can also get a lot of water from foods. Not just salad but smoothies or yogurt bowl or steamed vegetables.

I don’t like drinking water because the fact is you don’t need that much of it. When I was hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, walking 12 hours per day, I drank at most 3 liters, plus a pint for breakfast and a pint for dinner. So that’s 1 gallon total for extreme physical activity. In such a day I would pee maybe 3 or 4 times.

In normal life in an arid climate my water needs are about 1-1.5 liters. But this can entirely be covered by coffee or tea, a fizzy water, and maybe a beer or bedtime tea.

The only reason for the hydration obsession is excessive salt intake. Because salt and water are always a balancing act, excessive hydration will likely lead to salty snack cravings. If it didn’t we’d have a lot more cases of hyponatremia. The only serious side effect of being in the yellow pee club is kidney stones, but those are better prevented by lemon water and avoidance of spinach than excess hydration. I have no complaints of constipation or dry skin.

Drink when you’re thirsty. Eat when you’re hungry. Rest when you’re tired.

I think you misunderstood. The terminally ill cancer patient is getting urine salts from cancer free individuals. Nowhere on Wikipedia did anybody claim a benefit from the drinking of one’s own urine. Leave that to the alchemists.
