Most of this is trash, but not all of it.

It's at a lower level. Re-logging in also doesn't fix sound, though it does show missing batteries and sensors. The script that parses function key presses seems to get confused, and I think that's related to the machine's general ACPI spam. That might be fixable, if I can identify sequences to ignore instead of letting it build errors over time.

Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Opiates should be legal, because banning them fuels the Taliban / Mexican cartels and does great harm to innocent people smart enough not to use it. Opiates are also next to worthless when it comes time to deal with real pain like bone metastasis - don't believe the liars when they say they can help your relatives; they'll get to the maximum and shrug when it happens.

Kratom may be not as bad as opiates according to some sources, but should be avoided by anybody not already addicted to opiates (or Kratom). People are slaves too many ways already without being physically slaved to some shitty class of drug that gives them painful constipation all the time. (Opiates do work for that!) The law can't and shouldn't help you - your brain can and should!

This is awful, but so predictable. Barrett Brown is much too brave for my taste - the brooding island empire with no constitution and censorship laws against everything is no place I want to visit nowadays, let alone protest in. I was thinking he might come to his senses and do something more sensible, like fly off to court lovely Alexandra Elbakyan. They could have done great things together.

I think she might have been nonsurgically amplified with a trapezoidal filter, but you never know. There are a lot of pretty girls (and guys) on Tiktok. I forget who was the one that gives the explanation about what short girls have to do to get something off a high cabinet...
