I mean you can be a local bar that hosts KKK rallies and sure that’s a legal thing to do (in USA), but you will still end up being known for that, probably by many names that don’t just include “phobia”. And of course, the impact of bringing together a KKK rally inherently impacts your local community since you may begin to see things like lynchings in the news or in person.

TBH TI-89 titanium is a better engineering calculator since the UI is way better. I have both a HP50G and a TI-89 titanium and I've done way more useful engineering work on the TI-89 titanium just because it's so much easier and accessible. Also of course, BASIC is a lot easier than reverse polish lisp for making some quick scripts.
Also I will add, there are known symbolic math issues on the HP50G due to the CAS system it uses. I will see if I can find a link.

So scratching definitely still happens, both on sapphire camera lenses and new scratch-resistant screen technology. I’ve mainly had it happen with concrete. I think concrete sometimes just has some rocks in it that have a very high hardness because I’ve gotten pretty thick scratches in new iPhones when they’ve taken a slide over a rough concrete sidewalk due to a drop while walking.

To add to this, I think the toxic part about this is that SSRIs are the first line treatment, and are handed out like candy when they are not magic cure-alls for whichever ailment. In fact there’s a risk of SSRIs activating self-destructive mania, even in people who do not typically fall under the “bipolar” umbrella. (which, the interactions of SSRIs with undiagnosed disorders is also unsafe given their track record of being handed out like candy).

Re:C++23: The Next C++ Standard
on Tuesday July 11, 2023 @12:26PM (#36683301)
The thing that really ticks me off about RUST is it has compiler optimizations that can’t be turned off. In C++, you can typically turn off all optimizations, including optimizing away unused variables, in most compilers. In RUST it’s part of the language specification that you cannot have an unused variable, which, for me kills the language for me since I like having unused variables for debug while I’m stepping through the code.

I’ve read there’s decent correlation on a few scientific journals on Google scholar. Namely, that while head size doesn’t guarantee intelligence, if you are predisposed to intelligence you can’t be as smart as someone else who is predisposed to intelligence but has a larger head.

The issue with thinkpads has always been the externals! I've only enjoyed them for their budget internals and their openness via extensive reverse-engineering. The lack of a metal body of any sort more or less sentences them to an eventual crumbling, and iFixit rates most Thinkpad T420 body maintenance as "Moderate" to "Hard", so good luck repairing it when something on that plastic case cracks since it will happen eventually, and there's no Apple Store for thinkpad repairs.

And even if you did reach out to customer support, it would rarely ever get dev attention unless most people have the issue. Even in that case, it sometimes still gets a fat wontfix, like the famous OneDrive file corruption bug.

Interestingly enough there’s significant clinical evidence of St. Johns Wart acting as an SSRI and most serotonin-based medications warn about taking St. J’s Wart. See the indications for this other antidepressant for serotonin syndrome (St. John’s is listed as a potential cause):
