The Myth of Drug Expiration Dates

Hospitals and pharmacies are required to toss expired drugs, no matter how expensive or vital. Meanwhile the FDA has long known that many remain safe and potent for years longer. https://www.propublica.org/article/the-myth-of-drug-expiration-dates

@GottaLaff I took some expired Benadryl, and my apartment turned into a ship in rough seas. Everything tilted from side to side. I fell down twice on the way to the bathroom

Been busy adding more docs & examples/snippets for the revamped https://thi.ng/csp package, the readme and core operators. Still more to come, but the most important parts & operations are covered now. Please gimme a shout if anything is unclear... I'm aware is yet another fringe technique for many JS/TS devs, but that shouldn't make it any less interesting or elegant, especially these days where async features are fully supported everywhere and there's so much more than ye basic async/await patterns...

(The attached ping-pong example is taken from the updated readme, but barely scratches the surface of what's possible...)

@toxi Is the alternating order between ping and pong guaranteed? If so, how?

Data point:

A few days ago I explained in my blog what I was planning after I retire from Arizona State University -- namely work to help those who are trying to save democracy, and freedom of expression, in part by helping journalists do their jobs.

I briefly posted my intentions (with links to my blog explainer) here, LinkedIn, and Facebook.

I got the most engagement (replies, likes, etc.) at LinkedIn, by a considerable margin. Mastodon was second, Facebook third, and the blog fourth.

@dangillmor Would it make sense to filter out the automatic replies like “Congratulations” offered by LinkedIn?

Incredibly often, it seems that Safari fails to load a website. It happens both on my Mac and iPhone and has been happening for a long time. I think this has to do with my WiFi, but I fail to see anything unusual in my Ubiquiti setup.

Anyone seeing similar issues with Safari, or is this some issue in my Internet setup?

(Yes, I've tried disabling all extensions)

@simonbs I think it’s a too aggressive DNS caching issue with macOS. The fix for me is sudo kill -HUP mDNSresponder

Starting over because I had the wrong link!

This week's blog post:

https://terikanefield.com/sex-lies-and-falsified-documents/

Last week I installed the cache plugin people recommended to prevent that error message when I first put the link on Mastodon. People still got the error messages and the plugin messed up my website, so deleted it and I'm back where I started.

If you get the message, lucky you! Wait a minute and try again.

(Okay, so there really isn't any sex, at least not on the page. FALSE ADVERTISING!)

@jwz @donw 2004, a buddy and me take a cab to a party somewhere on the outskirts of town. We arrived just as the cops busted up the party. A hoard of zombies descended on our cab for a ride out, and somehow a very drunk David Cross got in and left with us. Bands I remember; Franz Ferdinand, The Dears, Broken Social Scene, and Pretty Girls Make Graves

One of my staff asked me what kind of music I listen to and I quickly discovered that I had no context for answering that question to someone (a grown-ass adult) whose experience partitions music into metal, dubstep and hiphop.

I’m sure there is some reasonable explanation for having no downtime but only 99.998% availability. But I guess I’ll take it.

    When my wife wraps a present it’s like a beautiful piece of origami art. My wrapping looks more like that of a sociopath who didn’t have time to cut the letters out of magazines to write the ransom letter,

    Anyone here who knows their way around Valparaiso? My family visited some 20 years ago, and we walked this street and loved the house so when we found a painting of it later we bought it. I'd love to know the name of the street, if anyone knows.

    I’ve held this in for too long and I honestly just can’t take it anymore: the first two lines of the chorus of TLC’s 1999 hit “No Scrubs” is a tautology. It is pointless to define a scrub as “a guy” you “don't want” AND who can “get no love from (you)”

    Murals in Chile of Negro Matapacos ('Black Cop-Killer') a famous street dog in Santiago, known for being at every protest, defying tear gas and water cannons, and fiercely hating the police.

    Since his passing on 26 August 2017 he has become a symbol of protests and resistance, and is affectionately know as the patron saint of protests and street dogs.
