@spacexfan_paul@arstechnica https://t.co/yAXlfkj8FM Drugs approved before 1962 didn’t need to prove effectiveness, and because it was historically it was still legal.
@Komaniecki_R The optimal way to deal with a sleeping student is to finish the lecture, get the whole class out silently, and the next class in without disturbing them…
@H_H_Gray Similar story: Friends bike was stolen, and we had clear video of the guy taking it. He found it on gumtree and arranged tp meet up at local supermarket carpark. Notified police who turned up, and waited in car park… in a squad car!
@thomasforth Lotus Improv for the win… They really did “reinvent” the spreadsheet. NeXT version was amazing, but Windows port was so buggy they killed it. Instead of a 2d sheet, it’s an n-D sheet you can slice as needed. Insanely powerful.
@DaveB22664400@apascoe33@edwinhayward No I don’t, and it was all fine when all the family phones had lightning. One cable, worked for everything. Now I have two sets of power cables in the car, two headphone jack adapters. One for my phone, one for my wife’s.
@CJHandmer Whenever people imagine the past, they forget that most of the history they learned and the TV they watch is about the top 1% of society/privilege. Sure the super rich did well in the past, but only compared to today’s average lifestyle. Like for like, the past sucked.

@twisted_eye@SwiftOnSecurity OR what it means… they’re not actually skewing the image - they’re just cropping it to a parallelogram… when video loops you can see the image isn’t distorted at all. Just cropped differently.
@PythiaLatis@hammer_mo@barneyronay If your employer told you you weren’t allowed to use a regular train ticket, but needed to use 1st class for all your travel (including personal trips) would you expect to pay the extra yourself?
@fesshole The count down on the TV is never at the right time anyway. The “live” boadcast of Big Ben has a delay of about 10 seconds. Buy the time most people start counting its all over!
