I actually have used it. It's very thorough but I find out more useful for areas where mapping is already good, while the areas I contribute to are not as well mapped. Every Door is also a great tool!

As interesting as it is crazy. My experience was completely unsolicited. The podologist, a health professional, out of the blue, started talking about this miraculous solution and showed it to me: looked like antifreeze liquid. Discarded the comment, the pandemic topic was still fresh and a go-to conversation, so she went back to the CD as a treatment for COVID-19. I was skepticly interested by then, threw a couple of questions and she started talking about its supposedly scientific evidence. Then she used the word "protocols", as if it was the most serious matter to her.

She already had my number so, asked politely if she could send me some documents and evidence of the treatment and its protocols. I told her yes, sure, let's see what's all about. After treating my infected nail, a couple of hours later, a new WhatsApp conversation with lots of documents and videos appeared in my inbox. I was baffled, so angry too, fucking quacks deceiving desperate people suffering from all kinds of illnesses, just for the money and attention.

Quite literal. The Chlorine Dioxide Solution scam came to me through a podologist a year or so ago. What makes this outstanding to me, it's they succeeded at having some academic backup, though, completely out of context. It's an absolute rabbit hole, you are warned.

Related to pine resin, pine tar shampoos and soaps are widely used in dermatology. Diseases like seborrheic dermatitis and rosacea can be treated with these products. The scientific background comes from the antifungal, antiseptic and healing properties of some acids contained in the tar, like abietic acid.

Linux is boring. In a good way. It is so boring that each of my computers use different distros. I have Debian, Fedora, Mint, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and Endeavour OS installed across 4 or 5 computers right now. Some of them still dual-booting Windows 10/11. Now each time I boot into Windows is fun. In a bad way.

It's still not the same. The current writing resembles an afterthought. In the past the moto was the first thing you would read in the Code of Conduct.

And there is also the complete lack of sense between the moto and their decisions.

I stopped using Google when they dropped their "don't be evil" principle. Not just because of that, but because their prior decisions were going against the principle. Sure it was ~10 years ago. A couple of years ago I tried Google search hoping it was still decent, but Jesus Lord, it sucked.

I think it's been years now. At least a couple of years, I was baffled too back in the day.

Yeah, some bartenders wake that kind of behavior in my imagination.

I didn't want to direct this question to Americans specifically because, at this point, other countries have shown support to Israel in one or the other way. If my country was financing this, I would be taking the streets. Shit, I'm right now in the hospital but all I can think about is protesting anyway just to feel I did something to stop this madness.

Are you doing something about this? Are you feeling unsettled? How do you feel about all this mess?

EDIT: So, buying Chinese stuff takes the USS Gerald Ford to Gaza’s coast. Also, TIL that that chocolate my cousin gave me when she was 20 and I was 5, (delicious stuff!) made me a slavist-ish. The fact remains, this genocide is being paid and supported by taxpayers money; of course, I was hoping that most of us didn’t pay taxes wishing for this. Thank you all for your responses, some of them were hard to swallow.
