I don’t know, it was a very long time ago. Maybe do a search, based on your interests?

I can’t wait to see follow ups on this! Thanks for sharing!
Autocorrect begs to differ, usually only when the word is out of my field of vision.
I took typing, on typewriters, but got efficient years later on IRC and ICQ. 60+more wpm. I’m still fairly proficient on a familiar KB too.
Pacemakers?
Still, the ambassador had nothing on senior enlisted crew members of the littoral combat ship USS Manchester, who didn’t like the Navy’s restriction of onboard Internet access. In 2023, they decided that the best way to deal with the problem was to secretly bolt a Starlink terminal to the “O-5 level weatherdeck” of a US warship. They called the resulting Wi-Fi network “STINKY”—and when officers on the ship heard rumors and began asking questions, the leader of the scheme brazenly lied about it. Then, when exposed, she went so far as to make up fake Starlink usage reports suggesting that the system had only been accessed while in port, where cybersecurity and espionage concerns were lower. Rather unsurprisingly, the story ends badly, with a full-on Navy investigation and court-martial. Still, for half a year, life aboard the Manchester must have been one hell of a ride.
But wait! There’s more!
Contacts end and contracts begin. While it may be a good while, I think we are goingseeing large corporations like Microsoft enter autophagy.
Okay and that happens with OTC medications, too. I have a family member who’s solution to everything is a *pill. Always taken in half or double, triple, quadruple dosages. Older and runs to the doctor for a sneeze too.
You can lead a jackass to water, but you can neither make them drink nor prevent them from drowning. Or in this instance, giving themselves hyponatremia.
Edited for reasons
I try not to contribute to toxicity, but it happens. You’re right to focus on nicer posts. There’s a fine line between calling out toxicity and becoming toxic.
Lab synthesis had it’s own set of problems. Imo, isolation of the"active" agent being one. Slippery elm and white willow teas don’t taste good, but maybe the “inactive” ingredients work with the active ingredient in ways that are simply not studied.
The “right one” would be open access by governments. But that’s socialism, and bad for reasons ($$$$).
Freely accessible knowledge is abundant, for now. For instance, someone with overly high BP wouldn’t want to consume much ginger, for digestive issues. Or simply, “contraindications of ginger”.
I bet when demand crosses a certain threshold, support supply will quickly follow, gatekeepers bedamned.
I don’t see it as impossible. Like various brands are distributed with windows, various brands can be distributed with various Linux distros, customizable by distro and features, pre-order. These brands can work out a donation contract with distros.
I would hope downvotes are accidental. This is fascinating and applicable to rl concerns, normal and divergent, I would think. Yes ofc there are cultural and economic exceptions.
I mean if you’re going to die without access, roll the dice.
Quite frankly, the contamination from pesticide and polluted air, water and dirt on everyday foods (and of course my herbs) are a bigger concern. They’re ubiquitous and unavoidable, now, thanks to big business and apathetic, time-constrained, overworked individuals. So I’m not that concerned by home remedies, although I really only trust my own. Some herbalists/root medics add turpentine to their remedies, for internal use. So I’ll stick to my own or vetted suppliers.
The schools are in shambles and books are for the monied elite. Time to donate to your favorite archive site. A buck here, five there can make a difference.
I didn’t know people still use pidgin.
I meant further research, but I hear you! See you then!
