I like how their attempted solution is to restart it

Re:What causes fainting? Scientists finally have an answer on Wednesday November 01, 2023 @10:31PM (#38108273)
That works for me too. A cardiologist told me it is because it gives your body a reason to keep the blood pressure higher. He also advised drinking lots of water every day.

I've fainted more times in my life than I'd care to admit. After a while, it's not the 'blood' you are afraid of. Instead it's the idea of fainting and causing a scene that becomes the source of anxiety. For me, anyway.

This is fun. It would be great if there were a ladder system so I can avoid all the dodgers and html injection testers and play real games

Just remember when foraging for wild edibles (including dandelions) to avoid areas that have been treated with pesticides, or where dogs may have peed. Avoid golf courses and train tracks and old farms.

Dandelions are pretty prolific but I would also be mindful of abundance when foraging other plants. If there is only one or a few of them around, don't take it. There's a 1-in-20 rule for this.

There are a ton of books, YouTube videos, and probably some in person classes in your area on this stuff.

Not much, what's up with you?
This happened to me 2 years ago. I canceled my Uber account because of it (because you can not cancel UberEATS without canceling Uber as well)

Last week I found out they never did delete my account. And they will not until I pay the balance.

Now there's an understatement.

Ask HN: What do you do with old textbooks?

What do you do with old textbooks? I studied maths and physics and a bunch of other things and have a special fondness for the books that I have been carrying around for the last 20 years. I also haven't looked inside them in the last 20 years. Should I just dump them at a local library? Recycle? Burn in a cathartic bon fire?

It seems to me like all of your hobbies are highly analytical. Maybe try making art or playing an instrument to relax your mind instead of trying to read another book or learn a new language in your down time.

Is it fair to say that the weather patterns are becoming (more) chaotic? In the exponential-sensitivity sense.
