@freemo Ah the days when the government hadn't genetically modified our genes so that transesterificaton would occur in the liver to make a cardiotoxic substance. The days when one could buy all the ephedrine and pseudoephedrine that they wanted.

@olamundo @freemo
To the people of QOTO.org (and anyone else who can help):

Can you suggest me good search tools for scientific articles?
I often want to cite a post I've read but don't find with common search engines (Qwant, SearX, etc).

I want to find, for example, some publications by Nature© that point to devastation as a great risk of causing future pandemics.

I also always end up needing serious articles that disprove the use of Hydroxchloroquine as a treatment for Covid. (I should have already created a file with references, seeing how often they are needed)

Thanks in advance!

@arteteco I would like to create something that, once mature, is used as an everyday currency. This will likely be an ethereum token (and later a ADA token once it matures). So PoS is where its headed regardless. It seems to me volatility is a barrier to adoption. Coins are either wildly volatile (like ethereum) or entierly stable (like USDT). Neither of which encourage people to invest in it. So the core idea behind my coin (there is a lot to it actually this is just the mile high benefit) is that it is semi-stable.

What i am considering are various modes on top of the equations I already have that may dictate when and how coin is printed and distributed to help encourage a healthy market for the coin.

With fiat we have governments printing it when economies arent doing well and distributing it through loans.. That approach wont work on crypto but my approach is similar in nature whereby the coin adjusts various parameters in order to improve the market and encourage the value of the coin.

Doctors: We have come a long way, Just one generation ago we were giving cocaine out like it was the cure for everything, even the common cold!

Also doctors: Your kid is having trouble in school huh? Have you tried giving him some meth?

@zpartacoos No clue personally. But I'm sure if the japanese came up with it its cute and clean :)

@arteteco I know right, just get that PhD and your on easy street.. fake some research, pick up random sack of money labeled with "$$$" on the front, rinse repeat.

@arteteco Well according to the climate change deniers you're just in it for the money. I hope your mansion is some consolation for all that hard work :)

@mur2501 depends, resteraunts have big markups.. but they can be as cheap as a 1$ at a resteraunt. Much cheaper if you buy in bulk for the home.

This resteraunt is unusually expensive (though I suspect this is handmade kambucha). Normally bottled drinks from a resteraunt are in the 2$ - 3$ range for a large one.

So apparently this place I'm getting breakfast from has an 8$ drink... and it wont even give me delusions of grandeur... I miss the good old days when 8$ would get get you drunk with an 8ball of coke and hookers tit to snort it off to spare. I guess I'll have to settle for this 8$ fermented cabbage kombucha drink instead.

Well the media tends to dumb down everything. So im not sure I entierly blame them. Keep in mind this is not unique to colorado. In almost every state if you were seeing up-to-the-day data you were view the "all people who died who had covid" numbers. Now I will totally agree that the fear mongering aspect of this is that the news never bothered explaining the difference between these two lists or the **real** meaning of the numbers. But then again, the general public that still relies on the news are the ones who probably cant or wont understand such things.

If you want facts and understand its best to avoid the news in general (and I'd say this reflects that)... but my point is, the numbers scientist and researchers use are inflated, we get the good numbers, we know the difference, and the CDC makes it clear what numbers are which.. its just the general public tends to be clueless and the media tends to be useless.

If anyone wants some cheap but extremely good paper/notebook check out midori. It is a japanese brand, beautiful in its own right (plain white, simple, but nice). It only costs about 10$ per notebook.

Best part is the paper quality is better than Rhodia I am finding and right up there in quality with Tomoe (the absolute best paper). I am a fountain pen user so anything but the best papers tend to feather and bleed. But this stuff I can put a puddle on it and it still wont feather, a must for flex writing!

@SecondJon It seems your issue isnt really "officially published numbers" but more so "What numbers were published on the public facing website"

Remember the existance of two lists means both lists were also published. Perhaps not on the colorado website for the general public. if you had went to the CDC website you would have found both lists before they were "caught".

The point here is not that the media (or even the states official media) didnt screw up in how they passed on information to the public. The point here is they never lied or hid the real numbers, they were always published publicly in earnest.

@SecondJon They went to great efforts to preserve historical accuracy. Abe even uses a silvered axe with hidden pistol in the shaft to kill the vampires, just like the historians have speculated!
