The answer has to do with the fact that the medical industry treats symptoms and isn't oriented to preventative medicine.

Here:

Keep this in your pocket for the next research study they publish..

Who paid for the research?

And after that, who gave the money to the people that paid for the research?

Normal batteries don't explode. They combust and burn hot, but don't exploded.

Explanation seems to be that explosives were planted in the pagers.

That line between justice and terrorism sure looks blurry right now..

The real black pill is that anyone is voting for Harris.

So they just started blowing up devices in public situations?

Were civilians harmed?

Freud would have been a redditor.

"Oh, you identified traits in your spouse that you are similar to the people who raised you. Must mean you subconsciously like them!"

No you insufferable idiot.

It means you learned something. It means you identified with elements of them that are familiar. Most of it is probably just cultural signals and the tribal nature of humans.

Controlled opposition doesn't look like it by definition.

Something tells me the Bee wouldn't make this joke if the roles were reversed.

My gut says that deep down the Bee hates conservatives. They just found a niche that works.

Because we're literally the biggest threat to all of big tech, FBXL Social is defederated by Meta. On their end.

I think they're afraid I'll lecture them to death?

Is there a new development with threads and the fediverse?

Also, it could be cool if the physical media looked like the above, and included NFC technology, so you can just slap that disk on your music player and it reads from it until you move it. Like this:

> It's a collection of laminated movie covers with an NFC tag inside. All my son has to do is pick the movie he wants to watch and put it on the NFC reader.

Yeah, I replied to myself with that idea.

People could make something really cool, but based on current culture trends if they made something new it would be incomprehensibly worse than existing retro formats in every way.

But CDs, cassettes, and vinyls all have flaws.

Cassettes have the perfect form factor, but the tape gets tangled or breaks. And skipping/searching songs is time consuming.

CDs get scratched, but let you quickly skip between songs or even shuffle! Size is OK.

Vinyls nail the physical/tactile aspect but really suck at everything else. Too big, easily scratched, etc.

So why not something better?

What if it was physical like a cassette but thinner, some kind of ssd storage for longevity and fidelity.

Demand for physical media formats is surging.

Many are attributing this to nostalgia, but that isn't right. Most of the demand is coming from generations that weren't even alive when vinyl ruled the music scene, for example.

It is a rejection and retreat from the digital dystopia. Physical isn't easier, it's not cheaper, and isn't objectively better than digital. But people want to touch and feel it. They want to own it.

So I'm surprised there isn't a new physical music format coming to rival cassettes, CDs, and vinyl.

I mean.. looks like two dudes walking?

What if they just blew up two dudes walking and called it a day?

> Take your supply, and your demand and leave this thread.

I couldn't think of a better summary of government driven housing shortages if I tried.

> APLA has lobbied for rent control, and the real estate industry doesn't like it.

Seems like the laws of supply and demand also don't like price controls and they always result in shortages.

..but maybe this time it will work?

What can be, unburdened by what has been.
