Detective show recommendations?
  • Vera is my absolute favorite British detective show! Also really enjoyed Grandchester, especially if they liked father Brown. Line of duty is pretty good too. Unforgotten is really good as well.

  • I read that weed makes you not dream, then when you go off weed you have crazy dreams. So heavy, heavy weed users that quit, how long did you have crazy dreams for?
  • I took a BP medicine called Clonidine for PTSD nightmares as well. I wonder what it is about them that help.

    My biggest issue was having already naturally low BP, so couldn't take it at the dose they wanted. Luckily, it still worked. Just had to go in frequently to have my pressure checked.

  • Potential therapeutic use and consumption...

    Wait , so we can still eat the pig after it's sacrificed for the heart?

    I am not a geneticist, so maybe I am overreacting, but are they only messing with the heart genes?

    I think I would like to skip the pork chops from these pigs.

  • Which prediction was supposed to happen already?
  • Right?! We call it "The before times" now in my circle. It's so stark, it's similar to how everything changed after 9/11.

    Ironically, in my bubble of life/friends there are two camps, like you stated and I am in camp 2016. I always use the night the Cubs won the world series as my benchmark ;) nothing has been the same since.

  • Bill Gates take on Climate change
  • Ok, that's fair. I think I got really mad about the trees :/ Especially living where I do. When I am in the concrete jungle it is crazy how much hotter it is.

    Regarding emissions, I agree something has to change. On top of the oil and gas, our chemical plants are killing us too. They call where I live Chemical Valley and one town near a huge plant has the 4th highest cancer rate in the country.

    Add to that, this is coal country. It's baffling how many people around me are disabled or have lost family who worked in the mines, yet flip out when you talk about taking their coal away.

    fortune.com Bill Gates gets real about climate change: Planting trees is ‘complete nonsense’ but the end of the oil and gas era is finally in sight

    The billionaire says he’s “the person who’s doing the most" on climate innovation and solution and trees are a distraction. “Are we science people or are we idiots?”

    Bill Gates gets real about climate change: Planting trees is ‘complete nonsense’ but the end of the oil and gas era is finally in sight

    This article is frustrating for me. Especially his take on trees. The article states the target goal/amount of trees planted would only reduce carbon 6%. Ok, but, it will reduce temperature. I live in WV near a state forest. It is typically 7°-15° F cooler at my house than in town. Additionally, the sun in the summer doesn't even hit my house until noon-ish, which significantly reduces my air conditioner consumption.

    I chose to share this mostly for awareness. I am not especially fond of his perspective.

    Biden-Harris Administration Announces $15.5 Billion to Support a Strong and Just Transition to Electric Vehicles, Retooling Existing Plants, and Rehiring Existing Workers
  • Same here! My main issues/concerns are due to weather and the lack of a place to charge up. Already this year we've seen how they don't do well in extreme cold or heat. And my area also had significant storms recently so flooding, no power, etc. And I live in an area will large hills (look like mountains, but not quite) and my friends with electric cars complain about it quite a bit. It drains the battery and struggles on some inclines.

    The best I've seen so far is a Lexus hybrid sedan a friend has. Handles the terrain well, charges as you drive, doesn't need plugged in at all.

    I feel like they need to have more going for them until we can all switch.

  • Can I ask this girl out?
  • Just wanted to say I agree with everything you said. As a woman who has worked with the public for 30+ years I have never said yes to someone who asked me out while working.

  • I reverse-engineered all Timex Datalink watches and devices, the Notebook Adapter, and the CRT graphics in Ruby!

    > Heya! I thought I'd mention that I've been doing a bunch of development on the optical Timex Datalink watches! I have been carefully sniffing data from the original Timex software with a logic analyzer, and have fully reverse engineered every Datalink protocol, the serial Notebook Adapter, and even the CRT syncing graphics! This means that every Datalink device, including every Timex and Motorola watch, all PDAs, and the funny e-BRAIN talking toy is supported! > > For those that aren't familiar, the Timex Datalink is a watch that was introduced in 1994 that is essentially a small PDA on your wrist.

CRTs use electron beams that draw scan lines one-by-one from top to bottom, then it returns to the top and repeats for the next frame. This means that the electron guns turn on when its drawing a white line, and and turn off when its drawing the black background. This produces flashing light as the graphics are drawn, which is ultimately received by the optical sensor and decoded by the Timex Datalink device. > > ! > > For laptop users, Timex also offered the Datalink Notebook Adapter.

    New Florida driver's license law could impact people with Minnesota licenses later this year

    Florida’s new out-of-state driver’s license law is raising eyebrows among Minnesota drivers.

    “I think it’s a bunch of baloney,” declares Doug Rosnau, from Hibbing.

    “It definitely sounds strange,” adds Alison Basilakis, from Edina. “Doesn’t sound legal right off the bat.”

    Buried with an elephant’s tusk, an ivory comb, a crystal dagger, an ostrich eggshell and a flint dagger inlaid with amber, the skeleton discovered in a tomb near Seville, Spain, in 2008 was clearly once someone important.
