I asked this question recently, unfortunately it did not get me closer to an actionable answer. Of course clothes get damaged and stuff is in the lint drawer, but it is a huge difference between losing the longevity by a 1% and 30%. Any actual research would be tremendously helpful.

I'm wondering how I could make a good, privacy respecting public sign up system for an event that protects both the person signing up and myself. I'm hoping for something user friendly, but ultimately my safety is important. I'm not sure what's out there or if I'll need to roll my own, but I'd love some community brainstorming here!

TL;DR: What are some ways I can have a privacy-respecting public sign up for an event I want to host that protects me and the people signing up?

Did they remove it due to internal or external pressure?

I have a large music library that I don't have much storage left for on my phone. There are of course other ways of solving this problem, but are there any good dedicated music players like iPods still around?

Ideally I'd like it to have Bluetooth functionality for wireless headphones, at least 512GB of storage, and an SD card slot. Possibly physical buttons as well.

I see all sorts of answers online, but am not fully convinced. I tried finding some research on the longevity of clothes between wash and wash + dry. Considering that it dries for hours just the mechanical movement should damage the clothes I would assume?

Includes "extreme" or even "offensive" things from the files. Preferably on the .ml

From my "watched a YouTube video" understanding of Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem, a consistent mathematical system cannot prove its own consistency, and any seemingly consistent system could always have a fatal contradiction that invalidates the whole system, and the only way to know would be to find the contradiction.

So if at some point our current system of math gets proven inconsistent, what happens next? Can we tweak just the inconsistent part and have everything else still be valid or would we be forced to rebuild all of math from basic logic?

Setting aside Big Tech and surveillance capitalism for a minute — I wonder if fediverse microblogging apps like Mastodon aren’t fairly antisocial and inclined to individualism, while apps like Lemmy are more community and artefact/stuff-to-share centric.

People are complex, societies infinitely more so, but software can nudge us this way or that way too.

I’d be interested to hear what others here think.

Before I start a sad story just a bit of context, I live in a very much conservative country. And even though Gay marriages were legalized few years back but still society and all are not very welcoming or even accepting of LGBTQ+ ppl (Don't go by my username it's just what fake name generator spat out)

This happened last Saturday night, me and 2 more friends from work decided to go for club. Out of 3 of us me and let's all him "G" are young and experienced with edibles and can hold our own alcohol. But this third guy lets call him "A" is 10+ years older than us and is married to a woman and has a kid.

So before going to club we take some edibles and i think it was the first time or maybe after a long while he'd been to a good club or whatever reason this guy "A" who usually just drank 1-2 beer drank almost 2 pitchers and few whiskey and cocktails.

Towards the end of night he starts hitting on guys and helps another random guy light a cigarette using his cigarette still in his mouth. And all. Eventually at around 2am club closes and we all leave on the road there's someone who is playing loud music so "A" goes there starts dancing and few more guys join him. He is flirting with all of them taking there phone numbers and sharing his own. and "G" is trying to stop him because there are cops near by. And then there comes this guy who he shared cigarette with he is yelling A's name on the street but A is out there sharing his number with others on the road. This guy buys flowers from street vendors/(homeless ppl here who make living by selling random things on road) and he is telling them he is very happy today and pays 100 times more for the flowers (I don't want to use numbers or currency but due to income inequality this would be just 1-2 days income for the guy but pretty significant amount for street vendors) and I'm trying to stop him and I'm telling him A's unavailable he's already married with a kid and all but he is just yelling A's name with such love that at 1 point I felt like I'm the villain in there story. But eventually he's friends also show up they get him away. And "G" and I get A into the cab and go home. There he reveals he had done this before as well giving out his number to random men and then blocking them in the morning. (A is also very conservative and any time LGBTQ+ topic came up in discussion he'd say "its a western propaganda")

I know I deserve to burn in hell for stopping them. But I'm also not sure what was I supposed to do.

Is there any way to get blood tests done in the United States without it going into your permanent record? I'm working on leaving the us within months and I know poor health can cause governments to reject immigration applications. I have been healthy so far, but I don't want to ignore any signs of something possibly creeping up on me.

Hello. I am new to this platform so I'll keep this brief.

I was essentially raised in a cult with my autistic siblings being the only social circle I had for most of my childhood. I don't understand much of anything and when I act like I do, it gets awkward.

My acting Professor said specificity in charachter work was THE key to a good performance. Now when my classmates don't know an answer, every time, they just say the buzzword... "Uh...specificity?" Everyone laughs. My understanding was that the repetition was the punchline. In actuality, it is a satire of how seriously she takes the craft, since the buzzword often changes.

How can I learn how to socialize with neurotypicals?

unrelenting, continuous, loud, right to your face verbal abuse, insinuating you overdosed the patient, pointing his fingers right to your face, claiming he is going to sue me and the hospital.

I froze, because this is the first time something like this happens to me, my ears hurt.

I don't know how long I stayed there, completely still because I didn't know what else to do. At some point I stopped listening to him and simply walked away to a restroom. Miraculously, he didn't follow me. I was ready to punch him if he touched me.

Out of the workplace, if somebody acts like that I either walk away or answer back or defend myself physically, should it escalate. Enduring that level of verbal abuse is something nobody enjoys, nor is something I am willing to tolerate.

The rest of my shift wasn't funny. Incident was reported.

If it's a book, you have the manuscript but no research, notes, or prior revisions. If it's a program, you have the compiled binary but no source code or anything you would've learned writing it. Etc.

I have recently made changes to increase productivity and reduce friction to prepare for a child that will be born soon. We now have made tons of convenient upgrades, and are looking for more. Robot vacuum was for instance a worthy upgrade, even if I thought it was gimmicky initially.

Any ideas?

In the past I didn't really catch that the people were rebelling against the government and suddenly there is great violence against protestors.

I think I missed this completely. I am aware that the beginning was spiralling costs. Is this connected to international sanctions?

Did Bill Gates really have 0 ability to get antibiotics in secret except to ask Epstein for them, in writing?

Like he didn’t even have real life employees on NDAs he could pay to figure this out for him?

Even tho he has unlimited money he’s still completely powerless to get himself secret antibiotics and has to pop Epstein an email?

Why?

The other day, I was on a crowded bus for an intercity commute, and was sat beside someone who was reading. So I got my book out and started reading as well. At the end of the trip I asked her what she was reading and what it was about, and added the associated series to my reading list. I also told her about my book. We parted ways and it made my day a little brighter. Does anyone have any similar stories of brief good encounters with other people?
