Yeah nah. I work in an industrial setting were it routinely soars over 120F. I learned pretty quick AC is a crutch that degrades quality of life in many aspects. People should be acclimating in spring. 120F is still hot and yes, uncomfortable but completely manageable during my work hours. I run midday during 30-35C sunny Idaho days. Summer QoL is way up now that I've severely curtailed my use of AC and it works during winter as well, acclimate and you'll be much more comfortable throughout the year. Most humans can acclimate to about 105-120 depending on physiology, it's just a matter of being mildly uncomfortable for a few weeks early in the year so your not brought to your knees as summer peaks. Imagine how much power would be saved if people could get by with fans and only use AC at night for comfortable sleep? But no one wants mild discomfort even if their predilection might later kill them during a power outage or heat wave. But it's par for the course as no one wants to walk the walk in terms of conservation. They want laws and decrees or magic solutions not simple lifestyle changes.

This site has become such a laughing stock. I logged in after ages just to post something. You have become so pathetic thanks to the new owners, whole fucking thing is just garbage. Literal CNN link after all the evidence of their bullshit. Which is not to say any right wing sight would fair better but good Lord. You are all so pathetic. Can I even say GNAA anymore? Fucking lel. I can't wait till this shithole goes under. I find every fucking story on a half dozen other sites every day, every time. /. has lost everything that made it worth visiting. GG

Kind of like this obscure website the editrs have just forced upon us. One glance at the wasteland of the comment section shows us why they have utilized it.. fits the editors narrative. Much like the banning of ACs really. Everytime I come back to this website I leave more disgusted than I ever was prior. Let /. fucking die for Christ's sake.

They should clean their own houses before bitching for show. The fact they have the luxury to bitch like this at all is appalling considering the circumstances the rest of us are in from America to Zimbabwe. Self entitled twats, I hope they get shit canned.

We live in an age of de-platforming. I encourage it all because it will just bring about legislative changes we need to protect us in our new digital town squares. People should have the right to object to vaccines and spread their message, others should have the right to object to that message and spread their information. Anything else is a pathetic and craven way out of dealing with an issue while giving corporations ever more control of our society and it's discourse.

Comment The FDA is not here to help you. (Score -1, Troll) 199

The FDA is ran by drug companies (it's easy enough to research or just listen to a bit of the Stuff You Should Know podcast on the FDA if your feeling bored) and other than purity issues in supplements things are fine the way they are- stricter oversight content labeling is all that is needed. Just look at all the bogus shit they are doing against the kratom plant, one of the most promising botanical since they stopped vilifying weed. Bad science, bad actors and money from all the wrong places, no real science against it but it has to go.

I think the FDA should be out of herbal and supplements all together.
