^ Just another place on the internet for people to steal your shit. I will never use the cloud. It's bad enough already.

Agreed... the cloud must be the leakiest database on the planet!

The most remote location on earth is called Point Nemo or "the oceanic pole of inaccessibility" in the South Pacific.

It is 1600 miles from  any land, and with the ISS orbiting the earth at 250 miles,here you are closer to the astronauts then you are to anyone on earth.

I never thought about it but hummingbirds feed their chicks just like other birds. 


Also goats are used for fire mitigation. Brilliant!

My wife bought a can of something called "dry shampoo". 

First I didn't know that was a thing, but I really wish my wife would read the labels on things more closely, especially things that she's never tried before. She has sensitive skin, but even if she didn't....

The first 2 ingredients listed on the can (in Canada they list ingredients from most to least, not sure if it's the same elsewhere).

BUTANE & ISOBUTANE, WTF?

[Fireball]

Most labels are that way, by law. I call the "chicken" soup my wife likes "carrot" soup with chicken, because in order of most to least, it's broth (to be expected), carrots, chicken, rice, etc. So this soup is incorrectly labeled. As far as flammable gases, it makes sense, as it will be the propellant. I wouldn't use it, even outside.

I read that the space women Christina Koch is using dry shampoo, hopefully not butane propelled.

Reading about router exploits and poking around in my router, I discovered that my router has free AI Protection if I wanted to enable it. It would tend to get in my way, but it's ironic discovering it now given I'll soon replace this router.

A new opioid is being tested, N-desethyl-fluornitrazene. Claimed to have fewer side effects and potentially be less addictive. The nitazene class was originally studied in the 1950's but shelved due to excessive potencey.

"Excessive Potency"? How about reduce the dosage? Fentanyl rings a bell.

Well, we wouldn't want a pain reliever that actually relieves pain, now would we?

That's exactly what they said about diacetylmorphine, and we all know how that turned out. Trying to create an opioid without addiction is like getting into the shower and trying to stay dry. But hey, wetsuits are a thing.

That's correct. The original 50's molecules are being modified to make them less potent for safety. Nitazines are showing up in street drugs (also health supplements) and there have been OD deaths. Fortunately naloxone is an effective OD treatment for this class also.

Who knew?

Galeophobia, sometimes known as selachophobia, is the extreme,
irrational, overwhelming and persistent fear of sharks. Someone
with galeophobia will likely experience extreme and overwhelming
feelings of fear, anxiety and panic at the sight or thought of a shark,
or experience extreme fear and panic when they see an ocean or sea,
or other bodies of water.

I don't have an irrational fear of sharks because I'm not near an ocean, but I do have Galeolilapsophobia...

Today I learned from the doctor that weight loss is mostly about dieting and it is extremely hard to lose weight through exercise.

I've never heard of a false widow spider. Apparently they are causing a increase in hospital admissions in Britain. The pain is equivalent to a wasp sting but it's not the venom that puts most in hospital. It's the bacteria carried and transmitted thru the bite.
