  • Cop City

    Journalist and protesters in the US killed or imprisoned by cops

    Corporations using prison labor

    More things are qualifying as jailable offenses such as people’s social status or medical conditions/events/etcetera or jobs

    Cops are increasingly more prone to protect corporate interests over the public’s (who wrote that story The Last Capitalist the one were one man owned the earth including oxygen and sold it with cops protecting him?)

    a president who back tracked on every campaign promise to address policing issues

    the next election is against two people want to continue doing all the above and more

    barely leave just for the grocery store anymore

    it is getting worse your next trip outside could involve a black bag over our heads

    fucking dystopian horror show like out there



  • too bad both presidential candidates are old and conservative

    and Biden is Religious with a prosecutor for a vice president to boot who has backtracked on most of his campaign promises including his ones on cannabis which he did on day one of his presidency

    legalization is decades away and with states and Native Americans legalizing the trouble for citizens will only get worse

    there are already border patrol style policing going on at the borders of legal states, cities that are half recreational and or medical and half illegal, and thousands left imprisoned

    that is yet another failed promise wrangling in the police even going as far as turning a blind eye to cop city

    already a shit show and just going to get worse

    could you expand on this at all?

    Arch Linux with a Gnome desktop with low core hardware even dual core a year ago on Wayland would not be a to play a video on VLC for a week straight no power offs or restarts without crashing and or some error

    Fast forward to today and that same setup even without updating regularly will get you the same experience as Windows in regard to stability and being able to stay running without crashes or errors

    Shout out to the Steam team for their contributions to Linux and yes use Arch btw and feel am able to make more changes to the system than before



  • the nicotine found in most vapes now days are the newer synthetic variety

    after talking to the lab responsible we were told the main difference between synthetic and real is that the synthetic does not cause cancer

    another difference is the real nicotine derived from the tobacco plant is usually sourced from India just like your kitchen spices like vanilla and is prone to contamination from ground pollution like heavy metals

    synthetic nicotine solves several problems including reducing the strain on the planet by using less resources than required for growing large crops of tobacco

    combine that with green chemistry which uses no heavy metals for a catalyst and you have a clean product

    now onto flavorings

    some such as isoamyl acetate for banana flavor are not very harmful to vape and is even used to test breathing equipment

    extensive studies some on a global scale have been done to show the varying degrees of toxicity to nontoxicity on the various flavors

    some flavorings are also good on the environment not only because of green chemistry but also with the newer technologies of reclaiming atoms and molecules from food waste

    there is lab on the east coast of the US doing just that and making chemicals some for flavoring such as isoamyl acetate which has multiple applications

    articles like this are deadest on turning back the clock on good science and good health
