Damn Straight!

That 'just email us' is a significant piece of friction in the way of scientific freedom of enquiry. Look to arxiv or equivalents...

There are a whole bunch of people who might be scientists who are not in academia.

If it still functionally existed.

The Fuck?

Oh, OK. It is a bit weird, but many see it as liberative.

ALSO, ALL CAPS?

Remember, Remember The Fifth of November, The Gunpowder treason and plot; I know of no reason Why the Gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot!

Yeah, that's prior art there ;)

It sounds counterintuitive at first, but if you think of real world examples, it makes a lot of sense. It’s the entire principle that casinos and blind bag toys operate on: you do the requested action (like placing a bet or buying the blind bag), you get something you didn’t want or expect, and you get a little mad that it didn’t go the way you wanted, so you do the requested action again.

Yup, I suspect the lack of consistency, especially for dependant animals and gamblers, drives anxiety, which is disproportionately relieved by a successful outcome, which is a recurring survival driver in the wild (again I blame evolution, where persistence can be rewarded by survival)

“Diffusion of responsibility” is a good one, guessing it's testable.

In that vein, we have the Stanford prison experiment, though it's repeatability seems to be questioned.

Pedantic truth is best truth (here). Win.

F'in nintendo.

My takeaway was add https://universal-blue.discourse.group/tag/announcements.rss to my rss reader (already had fedora) and I'm happy I'll know when I need to, still for those of us who support non-technical users on these platforms it is indeed problematic.

OTOH, this is the first time I've had non-nvidia (sleep broken on my desktop, just rolled back and held updating for a while, no big deal) update problems in two years, which is pretty outstanding for a new rolling distro, and gives me confidence in the architecture. Shit happens I guess, but it was quickly and publicly sorted, also trust building...

It was for me, check out ublue for simpler setup.

Cheers for the laugh mate. It's funny coz it's true.

Fair cop, you got me.

So replace OP's schools with subjects...

Ah, write only code ;) I was an enjoyer pre python.

What is inside these things, from a chemical perspective, and what are the kids breathing into their lungs?

In most cases insanely high concentration nicotine salts. Back before corpos got a hold of them, most everyone vaping used nicotine freebase in concentrations <20mg/ml. Freebase absorbs slowly, you had to work hard with 20mg/ml to get a headspin, like hyperventilating for a minute. Also less addictive. Salts absorb much faster, and the disposables (disgusting waste, but that's the profit model) are at 50+mg/ml, so the dopamine hit is a lot more instant. Of course, cigarette manufacturers have been finding additives to make their products more addictive since at least the 1950s, so whether or not and how long before those things make their way in is anyone's guess.

You can still get reusable vapes and freebase nicotine, and it's still the most effective way known for smoking cessation, but the enshittification has basically happened.

Rechargeable batteries were the default.

Replaceable rechargeable batteries were the default.

Perhaps BeautifulSoup for scraping data to fill your arrays...
