Last year, lawmakers recriminalized drug possession, a swift reversal just as Measure 110-funded programs were starting to demonstrate their impact.

Some of the funding for the new treatment and recovery services has, for now, remained intact, with innovative programs chipping away at the crisis, though with reduced resources. The Guardian visited organizations across the state that are successfully turning people’s lives around, meeting with people who have, against steep odds, found recovery.

I was looking for similar answers and just couldn’t figure out what really mattered. Then I used this site: Distro Chooser

It asks a lot of questions, but I think they nailed the best choice for my needs and preferences.

The Great Tech Heist - How "Disruption" Became a Euphemism for Theft in c/[email protected]

It's not "disruption through innovation" it's "disruption through having a bottomless war chest of other people's money to throw on the fire of your economic arson."

And it’s now coming to a government near you!

I bought this and now I guess I like vaping in c/[email protected]

https://fuckcombustion.com/ is a good resource for discussions. I agree with the other poster that Dynavap is a good starting point. There is some learning curve to get the process dialed in, but it’s not too hard. If you want something electric, Planet of the Vapes Lobo is decent. Though, I do think it’s probably worth putting that money toward the Tinymight2. I have had probably 20 vaporizers in the last 10 years and the TM2 is about all I use anymore. If you enjoy using them at home, I really recommend going through water.

The Daily Check-in for 20 March 2025 - just for today, we are not drinking! in c/[email protected]

[–] derzeppo 5 points 1 week ago

Retired on 12/31, so I’m at 79 days. Over the 25 years I was in active drinking service, I probably averaged 3+ beers about 3 times a week. So, it wasn’t totally debilitating but certainly I did some regretful things and generally wasted a ton of time.

A few years ago I noticed I would get drunker quicker than expected, so I had to start monitoring a little more. This eventually just became the moderation game we hear about - 1 beer wasn’t satisfying but eventually even 2 beers were enough to fuck up my sleep.

I just finally figured I’m done feeling like crap. Well, I still feel like crap but at least I’m not making it 10 times harder on myself by drinking.

Each day I think about it a little less. Really hoping I get to the other sober thing I hear about - feeling genuine joy again! I do find myself thinking and exploring hobbies I dropped in high school when booze took over. It’s fun to get to know myself again. IWNDWYT ❤️

Primordial surf: ‘microlightning’ in mist may have sparked life on Earth, study finds (www.theguardian.com)

In experiments at Stanford University, chemists discovered that microdroplets in fine sprays of water generate streaks of “microlightning”. When surrounded by the right mix of gases, these sparks power chemical reactions that synthesise many molecules for life.

Prof Richard Zare, a chemist who led the team, said: “This is a real contribution to understanding how you can go from non-life to life. You have water sprays all over the place, particularly around rocks, and there are crevices in rocks where these chemicals can accumulate.”

[–] derzeppo 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Season 3 so far is subpar compared to the first two seasons. The characters just aren’t very engaging. The Ratliffs are supposed to be southern but Jason Isaacs somehow sounds Australian. Hopefully the new arc with Rick makes the ride worth it.

Not completely convinced by the format, but worth a try in c/[email protected]
