The commenter also says nothing about being penalized for not taking shifts. If they sign up for a shift, they are expected to work that shift. It is a completely different model than Uber Eats, which he can sign into or out of at any given time, without penalty.

"not washing their hands" being the key part. it isn't dangerous to handle diver weights or clean up a shooting range. if the traces aren't cleaned off your hands before touching the face/eyes, eating, smoking cigarettes, etc, the lead will get into the body and cause problems.

Yes, this implies that trezor developers know of fake devices claiming to run that version so they skipped that version number to ensure that no one who sees that version number would confuse it with an actual version.

Creating + lending an audiobook should be fine, the same as creating an ebook. As long as only 1 copy is loaned out per physical item owned (can't loan the ebook if someone has the audiobook), I don't see the difference. What if they create a physical braille version and loan that out to blind people? 1-to-1 lending should be acceptable in any case.

Re:Soylent Acquired by Starco Brands
on Wednesday February 22, 2023 @01:25PM (#34900244)
With Soylent, I found that if I wait until I'm hungry, I will still be hungry after I drink a glass. If I drink it before I get hungry, I don't get hungry.
Instead of my usual mealtimes of 8am, 1pm, 6pm I drink Solent at 8am, 12pm and 4:30pm; then I don't feel hungry throughout the day.
