  • When my parents bought their house, there were hoarders renting out the lower flat. when they opened the door, it smelled awful. Kids being kids, I just flat out asked one of their kids “Why does your flat stink so much?”. They told me, it does not stink ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. So you can get insensitive about stuff like that.

    On another note: my wife can taste stuff I cannot taste. I can see better than other folks while my hearing is really bad. So senses work differently for different humans. So while I can smell myself as well, that does not need to hold true for others.


  • Traditional vaccines work, because your immune cells learn about the “key” they need, to open up the virus and destroy it.

    mRNA is basically just shipping the “keyhole” instead of the whole virus organism for your body to learn the pattern. So no crazy “gene therapy”. It is just more precise.

    Like, back in the day, people used maps to navigate. Now you use crazy GPS space stuff to do the same. Just better technology for the same end.

    My 4yo always threatens “I won’t invite you to my birthday party!” I always respond with “Yes, thank you, please don’t.” Which is confusing, because apparently it is the go-to threat in daycare to force ohther children to do something 😅. Then I am immediately invited again.

    It’s different though, you swipe to get to the other characters instead of clicking the button more often. T9 was awesome in its time, but it also kind of relies on a dictionary, like the swiping on “standard” smartphone keyboards. In ThumbKey you type every single character, but it is fast, if you internalize the layout.


  • Has anybody ever really said that “I have nothing to hide” in the wild? I only ever read that in online discussions about how to counter that argument. Proponents of surveillance I met were either “companies need to have all the data, else they don’t survive the harsh competition” when it comes to surveillance capitalism or the say “All the crimes, protect the children” when it comes to state surveillance. They seem to be aware that they lose privacy, but they believe that it is OK for what they get.
