Whatever. Subtle "toxic masculinity" "slut-shaming" of men whom don't act meeker than women.

Start small: assassin merit badge.


I'm continually amazed when people make obviously horrible assumptions:

- "Weed is good because it's 'natural'" "Yeah, but so are ricin, hemlock and nightshade."

- "Juice is made from fruit, fruit is good, therefore juice must be good." "Although it's not HFCS, juice has more carbs than soda."


I'm also disgusted by the "it's natural" platitude some persons spout.

But that doesn't mean it's a good idea to drink the latest clinically unproven science experiment like, for example, Coke Zero. Nobody has a clue what those small molecules actually do besides the obvious.


O.O ZFS without FUSE?


There's actually not an up-to-date ZFS FUSE port on any platform, at this point - all the OpenZFS ports are native to their respective kernels, and while people have kicked around updating/making a new FUSE port for a while, it's not been a priority for anyone.


Reciprocity of being interested, by example, FTW. Makes sense to model and ensource behavior

If I get amped up, I become a firehose of consciousness tangents ADD-I but it's usually better to chill, listen and only say what's most important than no-filter crunk-tired.


Feminism, safe-spaces and microaggressions will be moot when there's no food, no jobs in ~30 years and billions of people migrate to near the heavily-fortified scraps of arable land. Instead, most people will have more pressing worries: not being gang-raped, mugged and extortion rates.


Basically, only aggressive consumption of limited resources allows society to be worried about something higher in Maslow's pyramid.

Extinction of those resources will set us back to fight for scraps.

FYI mods/editors: this article is from 2001. Sad she passed away recently.


Anyone know of a good psychologist and/or neuropsychiatrist for adult ASD in the south or mid-peninsula Bay Area? In a really bad situation/state-of-mind rn... by bad, I mean yearning for rope and a bridge, or walking into traffic.


Same. You aren’t alone. For me, meditating is important but I usually just pace around instead, which could be worse. I am mentioning this incase you have something similar that you’re not doing. I don’t know any doctors in the area because I don’t live there. Sorry. I wish I did. Please be patient and deep breaths. Sorry I don’t have anythingg else to offer but I care.


I would highly recommend looking into microdosing psychedelics for improving state of mind.

Has worked wonders for those around me. One person suffering from depression and another young adult with Aspergers. In the young adult's case, they say that their anxiety basically has gone away. After several weeks, they are far more social and comfortable in their skin as well. Seems to be bringing some normalcy to their lives. Seems to be much better than cannabis for relaxing them. This individual gets anxiety attacks from cannabis.

If you are worried about the various myths about psychosis and flashbacks, read "A really good day" and the author goes into the safety aspect of it. TLDR, it's safe. What is not safe is mislabeled things.

The general regimen is usually a 3-day cycle.

day 1 - dose

day 2 - transitional day

day 3 - rest

day 4 - repeat

I have tried a more aggressive cycle and it's quite a bit much, so 3 days seems to be the better regularity. After some time going down to 1-2x/week is adequate in its effects as well.

A little bit of cryptocurrency and some googling can get one access with relatively little effort.


I started 3 weeks ago, it helps me a lot for anxiety! I love the energy and confidence it gives to me. A game changer. 1P-LSD, 10mcg Tuesday and Friday


I live in SF and can ask an ASD friend who lives in SF if he has any recommendations, if that’s accessible to you. But please, of you're feeling that badly, if there’s anyone you can call, please call them. If not, I’m happy to be an ear/shoulder.


Let's say the amortized cost of a GPS tracker is, conservatively/high-end with a lifetime data plan for updates every hour: $100. Let's say the cost of mean average deployment is $10. Then the break-even point for hive theft is reached if losses are well over 7.33 (bar) %. (110/1500)

If losses are high, beekeepers will deploy them. If losses are low, deploying GPS would be more of a fear-based, emotional decision than a rational one.


The other piece of the puzzle is how meaningful the loss is; if such a theft is existentially threatening, and there's a reasonable chance of it, then it may still be deployed despite not actually saving money.


Exactly. Expected payoff is only useful if you have infinite resources. This is why most of us pay for insurance even though in the long run it's guaranteed to cost more than just self-funding any repairs or replacements.


in the long run it's guaranteed to cost more than just self-funding any repairs or replacements

If you're talking about home insurance then this is certainly not guaranteed. The primary purpose of home insurance is not in any case to safe you money on small repairs but to protect you from a total loss, say from fire.


Which is a short-run argument that does not refute GP’s point.


I mean, if you are at fault in an accident where several people sustain life-changing injuries, or your home is a total loss, or whatever, then you probably did end coming out ahead with the insurance. Insurance makes the most sense for perils which would be catastrophic for you.


It's insurance against beehive theft, not accident insurance. Are your company insurance policies sold in a package?


For the beekeeper in the story, it was catastrophic, in that it wiped out his chance for retirement, he said.


It's just an example.


Need only GPS trackers on a sample of the hives, no?


It depends on the distribution of thefts and % coverage.

If the losses are high enough, higher % of trackers would increase ROI (up to a point, depending if trackers were cheap enough). If losses are low enough or trackers very expensive, a few trackers here and there would insure against infrequent "cleaned out" thefts, e.g., serious illness healthcare insurance.


Only for that use case. From a logistics standpoint, which seems so important to the "modern beekeeper", it sounds like an easy thing to say yes to.

The question of "where are my bees?" can have a real-time answer and carries the benefit of knowing the temperature, humidity and other data available from remote sensors.


I have thought about the feasibility of an IOT beehive, maybe even with leaving/returning bees etc.

But the main issue would be the low profit of any individual hive. Save for some research projects, it wouldn't make sense economically.


Don't mobile radio signals disturb the bees? Maybe beehive trackers could use LoRa instead of 3G.


No need for lifetime data plan. You only equip some of the hives with trackers just when you're moving them to almond cultures where most thefts in the US occur.


And worse outcomes: it's more money for worse care. Also, the individual risks going bankrupt. If an individual gets some cancer that's crazy expensive to treat, they lose everything they own in the US and sometimes still can't afford treatment.
