Who actually uses RSS compared to email? 1% of your customers?

Men don't want to work in jobs where stasi style political correctness is prioritized compared to actual competence.

And its women that are driving this primarily.

Yes, but since blood donations are not tested for this you don't know what you get so people are already getting PFAS contaminated blood.

You could just do phlebotomy (blood letting) where your blood is discarded in case you have insanely high PFAS.

Interesting, best of luck with this, microplastics really are the modern lead.

You said it removes them from the blood: does the body dump microplastics in the gut for your product to remove them from the blood or how does it work (if you can answer due to proprietary reasons)?

Are saunas and blood donations not also effective for this?

Another reason for this is for the seller to protect themselves and give themselves proof against scumbag customers who then lie to get the product for free etc...

The more emails and info you can demonstrate that you sent to the customer the more proof you have in case they try to scam you.

Or just use Claude in VSCode with their plugin or Kilocode and you have nice IDE with as many tabs as you want open one click away?

Sure buddy. Keep telling yourself that.

My main issue with Epic' Store is that it doesn't have a rating/review system just like Steam has.

Since game journos are completely woke and unreliable using Steam's game ratings from REAL players is a God-send.

Without it you simply wouldn't know if a game is any good or not.

Daily reminder that each humans tries to pick the best mate to mate with.

Men try to pick the most beatiful women.

And women try to pick the most "alpha" (rich, high status, and also good looking) men.

Animals do the same.

Therefore each time that you pick a better mate than a subpar mate you are a dirty, dirty Eugenist! Bad you!

Does this mean that biology is eugenic? Bad nature! We must destroy it and replace it with communism!

Focusing on fiber while leaving out glyphosate, sugar etc... is myopic.

This is a peak silicon valley tech bro mentality view.

Instead of doing what the body is natural designed to do lets go fully against it because of the current environment.

We used Monogame at a previous company and it's a nightmare to be productive in it. The lack of any kind of an editor makes any kind of dev a nightmare: 3d adjustments? Good luck, guess it.. UI adjustments: good luck, try it 300 times until you get it right.

Switched to Unity, best choice ever.

Funny they say that since pro-vaccine policies are unreviewable since max 1 vaccine had a legit placebo controlled trial and none others, which means that we have no idea about their safety.

New comment by NotGMan in "AI companies aim 'not to help workers, but to replace them'"

NotGMan — Wed, 04 Mar 2026 22:52:16 +0000

It is what it is.

100 years ago tractors and machinery were replacing farm workers etc...

Obviously AI is a step up since you at least needed humans to operate many machines.

Some kind of UBI might be inevitable, higher taxes for large/most profitable companies might fuel it. But that's my idealistic view of it.

New comment by NotGMan in "10% of Firefox crashes are caused by bitflips"

NotGMan — Wed, 04 Mar 2026 22:49:00 +0000

>> In other words up to 10% of all the crashes Firefox users see are not software bugs, they're caused by hardware defects!

I find this impossible to believe.

If this were so all devs for apps, games, etc... would be talking about this but since this is the first time I'm hearing about this I'm seriously doubting this.

>> This is a bit skewed because users with flaky hardware will crash more often than users with functioning machines, but even then this dwarfs all the previous estimates I saw regarding this problem.

Might be the case, but 10% is still huge.

There imo has to be something else going on. Either their userbase/tracking is biased or something else...
