  Interesting YT vid: * Zinc lozenges which dissolve in your mouth are highly effective against colds (it harms viral replication so it's worth trying against any sickness) * 75mg or more per day * Zinc acetate or zinc glutamate. Other zinc compounds are not as effective * Sweeteners and citric acid added will bind to the zinc ion and make it ineffective, avoid these... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pi7syWem5CM

  I love how everybody's all about fedposting... But then the second I bring up The Thing, everybody gets quiet as shit.

  Wow... quiet, unregulated, and penetrates ballistic armor (because its is not designed for this type of projectile)

  SLUFI is published! https://thegoodwork.substack.com/p/slufi A Simple, Lightweight, Unopinionated, Federation Interconnect. The problem: While numerous network transports exist (cjdns, Yggdrasil, I2P, Tor, etc), and numerous name services exist (Namecoin, ENS, Unstoppable Domains, PKT, etc), almost all federation takes place over ICANN+IP because we currently have no way to federate across network boundaries, and ICANN+IP is the only thing that everybody has. I claim that there is no possibl...

  Competitive Shoplifting. Okay, hear me out. You get a bunch of """athletes""" and go mob a walmart. The goal is to get as much value in merchandise out the door as possible without getting caught. Simple rules. If you have multiple competitors getting detained, then you've got cameras in the interrogation room, and competitors are ranked by a jury on the quality of their bullshit story. They don't rank better than anyone who *didn't* get caught, but th...

  Hey @eriner@noauthority.social that lawn mower thing is coming tomorrow. I put some little 3 inch fence around my raspberries because I'm afraid it's gonna eat them - is my fear well founded? Also you have the process for getting shell on the thing?

  Whoa, 12kwh/kg is the energy density of diesel fuel. Chemical energy, no engine losses considered... If that's real, then aviation is about going to get electrified... CC: @CliffSecord

  Remember when Amazon used to have difficulty shipping packages to everyone - especially around like Christmas ? Shipping is one of those things that quietly went from being fairly marginal to being absolutely massive in the span of 3 decades.

  Imagine the self-image you'd need in order to square the two beliefs: 1. ALL MEN are ravenous beasts that will rape anything cuter than Quasimodo 2. I just walked through the parking lot last night and nothing happened to me RT: https://spinster.xyz/objects/41cf2988-e5ea-469e-aa31-7b96659c0492

  With the evolution of batteries, it looks as though internal combustion engines will be relegated to some pretty narrow niches - if not supplanted entirely. But there's something about them that EVs can never really replace, and it doesn't seem to even have a name. Internal Combustion Engines are "alive" in a way that electric motors can never be. > That's just how you perceive it, human Don't care. It's our world, technology should exist on our terms. Even i...

  Literally the most evil human being to have ever existed in the entirety of history. You could make 1000 Epstein Islands, and they could abduct, kill and eat a million children, and it wouldn't be one billionth as evil as Thomas Massie.

  Thermoacoustic engine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3O0QpZnkfJM Interesting for getting electricity off of a wood fired boiler during winter. Basically has one moving part which is a "speaker cone" that extracts energy as it vibrates. Can be a flexure so it should last ~forever.

  Battery chemistry is getting to the point where a charge is as fast as filling up with a gas pump. China is making a play to replace oil entirely (because petrodollar)

  Google has a lot of momentum no doubt, but they also have a lot of Fleas In Their Heads and I'm not sure how they're gonna adapt as the world evolves. History shows that disruptors very often become disrupted

  My answer: It's no secret that the US projects geopolitical soft power through its proprietary, particularly SaaS, software solutions. In the event of (for example) an international incident over Greenland, it is conceivable that the US President could issue a national security directive ordering all American tech companies to immediately cease serving customers based in the EU. Even if this was confined to SaaS platforms, it would be absolutely apocalyptic, with Google, Gmail, Github, Amaz...
