I often wondered about how 'safe' it is to have wireless earbuds in all the time.

I used to work for a psychologist that was always on his phone, and he'd rarely have the phone in his hand and up to his ear and always just used the speaker phone feature. (This is pre-smart phones) This meant me having to be quiet in the background and in hindsight, was likely a huge violation of confidentiality between him and his clients.

His idea was that since he's always on the phone (many of his client sessions were just over the phone) that it was safer to do it like this, for his health. He claims to have known colleagues and peers who developed tumors and brain issues "from always having a cellphone up to their ear".

With that said, I still prefer wired headphones but have recently bought a set of cheap bluetooth earbuds for a part time job I picked up. The cord of my wired set was always getting in the way and I hate tucking it in under my shirt because I can feel it. (But I also hate having my wireless ones die mid-shift)

May go back to the wired set.

Yea, it seems like a pretty huge paradigm shift from where we're at right now. I'm assuming it's not an either/or solution, hopefully we find some solution where both can be used concurrently.

Never heard of it before.

TCP/IP seems to be omnipresent. No idea how something can attempt at replacing it.

I like it! I hope it doesn't cause some 21st century version of the Dust Bowl though

that's an impressive flex - thanks for doing good stuff with your powers

Wow, that's good to know.

Just talk to the people who spend years going to Africa to build infrastructure and schools to teach them and see what they have to say about this. They are mostly incapable of being schooled and they tend to destroy the stuff you build for them.

If a country is a shithole, it's because of the people living in that country. Africa is pretty much the jackpot as far as continents go. No harsh winters and there's plenty of everything. When white Europeans used to live there it was ancient Egypt and a prosperous civilization. The places with white Europeans are still prosperous civilizations.

There is no magic earth. It's all the people. Hundreds of years a go a German dude (Johann August Sutter) went to California and made a prosperous settlement inside of a desert by redirecting mountain water.

I also own the ISP that hosts this site. Our policies aren't changing anytime soon.

There are exceptions

So we can't generalize, but let's generalize in the title for clickbait anyway.

Study after study indicates running rarely causes or exacerbates arthritis in most runners’ knees

Even if it is rare and thus only affects some runners, it's a bit disingenuous to essentially say "hey, only some people get cancer from smoking and smoking is actually strengthening your lungs".

recruited 82 middle-aged, first-time racers [..] most of their first scans showed signs of incipient joint injuries, including cartilage tears and bone-marrow lesions, any of which could be early steps toward arthritis.

The wisdom I know from health professionals is that running is fucking up your legs and that you should train by doing fast walks instead.

But this simmering damage had been partially reversed by training

Yeah, training is good, but running is doing damage. Do fast walks.

Enjoy it while it last. If Ramble ever gets too big, they'll get bought out/threatened/servers pulled.

That isn't science as such. That's an opinion that might explain why there are countries that don't seemingly do as well.

Dude, it's genetics. There is no such thing as magic earth. Shit people create shithole countries. Simple as that.

Racial? Cultural? Environmental? All factors to that outcome.

It's just that even the richest black people commit more violent crime than the poorest of white folks.

I never stopped using self-hosted mail. Been using it for about 20 years now and it works fine for me.

Murders of a particular race can be correlated with many factors--perhaps say poverty or drug usage or even extreme wealth or lately "being a rich Russian billionaire." Why those factors exist might be spiritual, economic, self-caused, other-caused, or a whole slew of sociao-political reasons. The bottom line is, if you want to see it as race alone, that's how you are going to see it, but that isn't really science talking. More likely, it is some "liberal academic conditoning" talking, which often masquerades as science.

You have to be blind to not see the correlation with the race:

What I defined are the pieces that constitute an actual scientific study. What you are trying to make a case for is correlation between murder victims and color. You are confusing "fact" with "Correlation" which is a huge scientific no no. You posted facts. The "pattern" to the numbers could come from any number of factors which may or may not be race related.

is it real?

Yeah, it's called pattern recognition.

If the article is supposed to be especially scary, I'm not sure it is any more scary than anything else Satan does. If you are staying in an evil hotel, you might wind up with some spiritual problems that you'd rather not have.

Nah. Those facts are a reflection of statistical measures of people who get murdered without any operational definitions defining what "murder" is. Skin color, on the other hand, is a measurable difference that people readily detect and foolishly base conclusions upon.

Racism isn't a hate of a skin color. That's the usual deflection. Racism is a reflection of facts like this: https://files.catbox.moe/i96yv9.png

Hang on. I'll get my wallet.

Those of blessed with excess sometimes engage in something called 'charity', you wouldn't understand.
