That's kind of an odd thing to point out. If my buds are stronger, I use less of them.

It's like having a bottle of beer vs bottle of whiskey. I don't exactly imbibe them in the same way, do I?

That's funny.

I know plenty of people who haven't really reduced their consumption as things have gotten stronger. Their tolerance just went up.

The researcher pretty much says "it is very complex, many things are difficult to control, so we should take all this with a grain of salt".

Your answer: "What a weird thing to say, they should just ask me; I know."

i see your point but think about it this way. A bowl or a joint holds a certain amount. People fill mostly the same amount and dont regulate it by thc content

If only it was legal, I'd happily replace my alcohol use with cannabis, and I don't think I'm alone in my age group. Not a big surprise that that yields improved brain health.

You don't have to replace alcohol with anything. If its self medication you should ask yourself or an expert how to lower stress with behavior or life style change.

Apart from that a better medication would be Ketamine which is also a NMDA receptor antagonist like alcohol but not as destructive to every cell in the body. Except your bladder.

And pee my pants and Heil Hitler like Elon Musk? No thank you.

I don't find the effects of the two substances to be at all comparable, except perhaps that both make it somewhat easier to enjoy low-quality and/or mediocre foods and entertainment. Otherwise, the effects on ability to e.g. think quickly, socialize, be motivated, and enjoy things that require e.g. fast attention switching and working memory are just totally different.

Obviously the effects of different substances for different individuals can vary profoundly, and alcohol for me is far superior in almost every way imaginable.

Which sucks, because the long-term and next-day side effects of cannabis seem so much less bad.

*if it does, this is just one study. That said, because it's not legal in many places, any health effects are understudied (not unlike hallicunogens). There's plenty of movements that push for more study though.

Anyway, it's legal where I live, I avoided it for a long time because of reasons but it tends to give similar relaxing / depresant effects to alcohol, minus the downsides.

I'm confident Big Alcohol is pushing hard against legalizing and developing cannabis. As is the government, because alcohol is heavily taxed and therefore a big source of income.

Imagine you could replace with just existing.

That said, when I walked through the main street of my city after dark, I thought replacing all the drunks with stoned would have been a major improvement.

Yeah if I were navigating a crowd of people and had to choose a substance for them to be zonked out on, marijuana would be near the top. Or MDMA, haha.

Dunno if I could handle everyone hugging me and telling me how much they loved me.

Especially during flu season.

I thought it was utterly interesting, like I was reading a sci-fi novel that was actually happening right now.

Sure, but how many people/companies are perfectly served by serverless functions + queues + gateway + database + file service? I'd guess >90%. How much of that remaining 10% can be adequately patched by lauching virtual servers?

Scaleway and OVHCloud both provide all of that. The problem is more about marketing and a modern variant of the good old "nobody got fired for buying IBM".

How about CloudFormation? CloudTrail? IAM? SSO?

If you want to make real money, you’ll need an endless amount of EE features, without which no E will commit.

You can’t survive on a few consumer features.

>OpenStack by Huawei

If you mean to say that OpenStack is made by Huawei, that is not true. They are a major contributor and a platinum member of that open source project, though.

OpenStack was created by NASA and Rackspace, both very American..

I may be wrong, but here's how I got the idea: "liefert Huawei mit dem Cloud-Betriebssystem Huawei OpenStack Distribution" So it appears to be a Huawei _distribution_ from https://www.open-telekom-cloud.com/de/blog/vorteile/die-sich...

I have used this for a few hours now, and it's pretty great! I'm quite thirsty for replacing American tech with European tech, so it's pretty cool that Mistral is this good now.

It has broken editor integration (Zed) though at least for the time being. But the CLI works. Hopefully that's just a temporary thing -- as much as I like working in the terminal, this is a bit awkward.

Vibe keys seem to be somehow different from other API keys: I wasn't able to create a working key manually, but when navigated via a link that Mistral Vibe gave me, things started working. Or at least I think that was the reason.

Didn't the execution of Pretti get videoed? Wouldn't it be trivial to find out from the audio whether his gun fired accidentally before ICE murdered him?

And to be clear: they murdered him and as far as I can tell, none of them are facing any murder charges.

Some of the videos show the gun appearing to discharge into the ground at the time of the first shot before the subsequent shots. If the officers believed the armed man they were scuffling with fired a shot then it wouldn't be murder.

>If the officers believed the armed man they were scuffling with fired a shot then it wouldn't be murder.

Is that really how it works in USA? A belief that an incapacitated person fired an accidental shot is grounds for murder and execution? It is technically a murder even if those people legally have immunity, in the same way as the 1930s nazis committed crimes even though they were legal in their country.

Yes, if you’re a police officer and someone shoots at you while resisting arrest you’re allowed to shoot back. Like in every other country.

And, in fact, an officer only needs to have a reasonable belief in the moment (considering "the totality of the circumstances" but only up to that point, and in the officer's own point of view) of an impending threat of that level of violence; that belief doesn't need to be correct, doesn't need to stand up to scrutiny in hindsight (or going frame by frame in a video) and doesn't require the gun to have already fired.

> Is that really how it works in USA

Yes (as written by the person you're quoting; your rephrasing misses the point), and it most likely works that way in your country as well. Even if it's legal where you live to carry firearms in public, I would strongly encourage you to read up on how it works in your area before doing so. Especially if you can remotely imagine yourself ever doing anything that could possibly be grounds for an arrest, including for political protest purposes.

>and it most likely works that way in your country as well.

Wow. It absolutely does not. What the fuck?

> If the officers believed the armed man they were scuffling with fired a shot then it wouldn't be murder.

Please tell me what country it is, so I can confirm for you.

Also: what exactly do you imagine is the reason that officers carry firearms?

It's still murder. They assaulted him. Disarmed him. Fired his gun into the ground. Then shot him numerous times in the back

> Wouldn't it be trivial to find out from the audio whether his gun fired accidentally before

No, a video can't actually tell you what the source of a sound was with anything like that kind of precision.

Helium Browser's existence finally probably weaned me off of Firefox. RIP, was nice using you for 20 years.

But don't worry guys, given my selection strategies' success lately, this will mean that Firefox's user count will start rapidly increasing.
