Oh good another economist swearing things are good because they’re using 2022 as a reference (@ that dumb thanksgiving anecdote). It baffles me that they’re baffled.

I always imagine it going:

Uni admin: “They’re approving kids for how much?! Well fuck $3000 a semester, let’s triple it!”

And now universities depend on that increased revenue and there’s no simple way to roll it back.

You’re not going to convince anyone to participate in your game by insulting them. Unfortunately as the party who wants someone else to change their behavior, you have to be the bigger person. If you actually care, ya know.

Somehow I don’t think insulting people is going to get them to want to participate in your shit show

I haven’t played around with them, are the new models able to actually reason rather than just predictive text on steroids?

It looks to me like this study was specifically for e-cigs (with nicotine). Recently there have been some studies about heavy metal poisoning and weed pens. My takeaway was that you could reduce your risk by using a reasonably high quality vape (because the materials of the vaporizer itself can leach into the product while heating), and to avoid no or low regulation weed (and delta 8) which tested much worse than regulated stuff. This is based off one recent study in canada and is obviously only exploratory.

Anecdotally my lungs and my wallet really appreciated it when I switched from a pen + cartridges to concentrates + a nice vaporizer (carta). I also use a mouthpeace with a filter but who knows if that does anything significant.

Would have been cool for them to host their own instance with just the one account

Very cool, going to check out the cited books

City governments are like “but developers pay us for the privilege of putting up the luxury buildings, win-win, right?!” and miss that it doesn’t house any of the population that needs it. I’d rather directly build public housing with my taxes.
