🤔Why is anyone worried about today's tariff rates? They don't even matter, because they won't last.

Either we'll TACO to a lower rate, or we'll rage-tweet to a higher rate. Either way, these tariff rates won't survive the next 60 days.🤷🏿‍♂️

Who honestly believes that these rates will last?

5% tariff is bad.

20% tariff is bad.

But much worse than either is "5% tariff! No, 20%! Just kidding, 10%! No, 40%! Nah, I can't stay mad at you! I love you, so have 1%! No wait, I hate you again! 80%! No wait, 8%! Art of the deal!"

Our word is not our bond.

If pharmacogenomic testing was cheaper and more widely available, it'd be way easier to give people an idea of how well (or not) a lot of medications are likely to work for them without them having to take anything so they have a better idea of if they might be in for a bad time or not. (It's basically just testing if a person has specific genes that are known to affect how well a medication works and if they might need the dosage adjusted; I think there's also tests for genes linked to allergic reactions as well.)

It's routinely used for cancer treatments, but not really anywhere else as far as I know. And it's super expensive too - even in Australia and other places with widespread publicly funded healthcare, pretty much all pharmacogenomic testing that's not part of clinical trial has huge out of pocket costs.

But with HRT... yeah. Pretty much all the permanent effects take at least a month or two to happen, but it starts kicking in very quickly, especially the brain effects - probably a week or so tops for me. So there's plenty of time to decide if it's working well or not. And AFAIK, it's the same for any medically bad side effects - they take a while to happen, and AFAIK there's usually solutions to them other than stopping HRT altogether. The only downside is that it's really hard to predict how well HRT is going to work for someone so blood tests are kind of necessary to see if it's actually working and to check on some of the bad side effects. And those are expensive to arrange privately.

(With that being said it's still worth asking someone why they want to try it, solely because if T was more easily available there are some people who would go for it because they want the steroid effects and only those effects. But then again, there's already a huge black market trade in steroids, so it's not like the current system is stopping those people from getting steroids anyway - it just makes it way more likely that they're not telling their doctor what they're doing until they're really unwell or can't hide it anymore, and they're not getting it from safe sources either. So maybe it'd work as harm reduction there too, and be a chance to redirect those people to something more appropriate for their situation.)

I Was ARRESTED by the Zionist Regime!


Yesterday I was at a Palestinian-organized anti-g-cide protest in Haifa. At some point, the police decided that the protest just became “illegal” and demanded that we disperse. A few seconds later, several thugs jumped on me, attacked me, and took me away. I was interrogated and released a few hours later. In this livestream I tell about this scary and ridiculous experience and everything I learnt from it.

in reply to Sunyata ☸ 👨🏻‍💻 ☮

My summary: Zionist occupation regime goons violently abducted Alon, harassed his girlfriend, and then (while they held him captive) proceeded to intimidate and mock him during interrogation. Through this process the system communicated to Alon that it (through it's agents) could hurt him (physically, emotionally and financially). Analysis: To my mind this treatment further undermines the legitimacy of the Zionist regime (if there ever was any legitimacy) and of regimes that work like this (which they seem to do in all capitalist and fascist regimes). Specifically it undermines the idea that we live in a democracy where people can express their opinions without fear of punishment

The fans don't work, but there actually is a type of device that legitimately can help. Essentially like a sort of "air conditioner" in that it uses a thermoelectric process (like portable refrigerators often use) to transfer some heat away.

The only catch is that this is insanely inefficient, so they can only remove a tiny bit of heat at a time. No replacement for real AC or better temperatures. It might help avoid some of the worst issues by focusing on a key area, but only just that. (Also they're relatively expensive. Around $100-ish. That's why the fan versions are all most people know of.)

EDIT: I guess because of the cost they've largely disappeared from the market. I tried to search for one and they may be the $200+ category now... Or gone even.

We are looking for an investor who can loan our holding company 237,000 US dollars.

With this money, we will open a farm in Baku, Azerbaijan to produce animal-based food.

We will also make our own animal feed, so our products will be healthier, better quality, and cheaper.

Because we sell quality products for less and have strong advertising, we will sell more worldwide and make big profits.

Why Azerbaijan? Because animal farming makes a lot of money there, but few people do it. That’s why we will earn more by starting in Azerbaijan.

Additionally, by producing our own animal feed, we will be able to sell healthier, higher quality animal products at a lower price.

Since we can sell quality products cheaply and thanks to our strong advertising network, we will be able to sell more internationally and make huge profits.

The reason for establishing the business in Azerbaijan is that animal husbandry is a very profitable business in Azerbaijan, but since there are very few people doing animal husbandry, establishing the farm in Azerbaijan will provide us with more income.

Your profit:

You will lend 237,000 US dollars to our holding company and when 22.03.2026 comes, you will receive your money back as 953,000 US dollars.

Your earnings will be great. When 22.03.2026 comes, you will get your money back as 953.00 US dollars.

You will lend 237,000 US dollars to our holding company and when 22.03.2026 comes, you will receive your money back as 953,000 US dollars.

When 22.03.2026 comes, I will give you back your money in the amount of 953,000 US dollars.

That means you will earn 716,000 US dollars profit in just 9 months.

If you like this project and want to loan us money, message me on WhatsApp or Telegram for more details.

If our project is suitable for you and you would like to lend money to our holding, send a message to my WhatsApp number or Telegram username below and I will give you detailed information.

Here are some details of the new #logseq DB variant (currently in alpha):
discuss.logseq.com/t/logseq-db…

TL;DR:
- you can't edit the #Markdown files directly
- #orgdown support is lost
- EDN export is introduced besides MD export
- sync and RTC require a subscription
- practically, you can't run the sync on your own
- #Zotero no longer part of the core app

If this holds true, I can't endorse use of logseq any more.

I need to migrate other people's setups I was maintaining to a different solution. Too bad as it was the only good #PIM tool option I could find outside #Emacs #orgmode. 😔

aceptamos perder privacidad para aumentar nuestra seguridad

es una falsa dicotomía y tiene truco

porque pensamos que "si no hago nada malo no tengo nada que ocultar" y por eso mi privacidad no es tan importante

pero al perder privacidad lo que perdemos no es la capacidad de delinquir, sino el control de nuestros datos, que pasan a ser vendidos por las empresas que nos venden seguridad

sin privacidad acabaremos con empresas privadas controlando nuestras vidas: tendrán acceso a nuestro historial médico, bancario, familiar y económico. Con esa información decidirán cual trabajo, cual vivienda o cual operación quirúrgica podemos tener

y todo eso para tener más seguridad.. una promesa que también es mentira porque la seguridad que nos prometen ésas empresas no es la que necesitamos

nos prometen más vigilancia, más policía, mayores penas y multas para los infractores, eso solo beneficia a los ricos

la seguridad que necesitamos se conseguiría reduciendo la desigualdad económica, aumentando los salarios, con impuestos a la riqueza y a la destrucción de la naturaleza

Bei den Bruchteilen von Centbeträgen, die #Spotify pro Stream offenbar zahlt, wären über 3000 Streams nötig, wenn nicht sogar mehr, um auf 10 Euro Umsatz zu kommen. Krieg ich auch auf Dauerschleife kaum hin.
Ich kauf lieber bei #Bandcamp. Ich kann eh nicht alle Musik der Welt hören. Bei Aktionen wie dem heutigen #BandcampFriday verzichten Bandcamp zugunsten der Künstler auf seine Anteil am Umsatz. Und dort krieg ich alles schön als FLAC und kann es so lange behalten, wie ich will.

@Tfmonkey To your comments about Kajiwoto not being able to handle Luna and Celestina in the same room because the personality of Celestina changes based on the room and the two talk over each other, this is a solved problem for other AI apps like Kindroid, the one Voodoo is using.

Also, there is SO MUCH more to Kindroid than Voodoo mentioned. The technical features that he didn't mention are things like tweaking AI messages on the fly as well as a set of global memories for all kindroids...

Lety Does Bicycling at the Rail to Rail Active Transportation Corridor


I'm in South Central on Slauson, and I'm about to bike Los Angeles's hottest new transportation corridor! I've got my helmet, the Creature's strapped in to my Metro bike, and we're just about ready to go on the longest 1-mile bike ride ever put to film.
