We’ve time travelled to 1984

A large banner featuring Donald Trump's face was hung outside the U.S. Justice Department headquarters, symbolizing the Republican president's efforts to exert power over the law enforcement agency. This move has raised concerns about the erosion of the department's independence from White House control. The banner, which displays the slogan 'Make America Safe Again,' has been criticized as an attempt to politicize the Justice Department, with investigations opened against the president's perceived enemies.

CBC IDEAS - Ai with maternal instincts.

Admittedly, I don’t get to listen to the whole thing but on the face of it, maternal instinct sounds like a great way for Ai to justify wiping us all out “for our own good”.

I keep getting logged out of the iOS app requiring 2Fa codes. Also, the system keeps sending 2 emails with the codes that seems simultaneously generated as they have the same time stamp.

OTC birth control? Why not?

Lots of good points throughout the article. Although the discussion of risk needs to be had particularly for the contraindications of OCP. The idea that OTC medications have lower risk is a fallacy. Just looks at any of the nsaids (ibuprofen/naproxen) as a counter point. Increa

Marijuana and psychosis

This study investigates the incidence of psychotic disorders across birth cohorts in Ontario, Canada, from 1960 to 2009. The findings indicate a rise in the incidence of psychotic disorders in more recent birth cohorts, with a 70% higher incidence of schizophrenia among those born in 2000-2004 compared to those born in 1975-1979. The study also found that the age of diagnosis has decreased in more recent cohorts, with a 104% higher diagnosis rate at age 20 for those born in 2000-2004 compared to those born in 1975-1979. The results suggest that the observed increases may be influenced by factors such as improved access to care and broader social and environmental factors affecting different birth cohorts.

Looking for the easiest way to use my Roland TD17 as an input to play on the Wii rock band. If the whole kit can’t be connected, is there a way to at least plug the kick into the 3.5mm jack?
