homeopathy is covered by the uk's nhs because one of the guys who's in charge of that stuff is a homeopath


whenever i hear stuff like that i wonder how hard it is to break into the magic water biz

the 'alternative medicine' business is worth billions and billions of dollars because they can peddle twigs and leaves with minimal oversight or regulation and no need to actually do any research. companies who sell this poo poo present themselves as natural alternatives to Big Scary Pharma but they're massive international corporations making money hand over fist.

tl;dr find out how then do it immediately

a "wearable computing" nfc ring you can use to unlock your phone and give out your contact details. completely pointless and less practical and secure than literally any alternative. if it had a bottle opener it'd be peak kickstarter.

i accidentally went to a happy hour intended for UX/design people once

  • 90% female

  • 100% under 30

  • 50% turned out to actually be social media / marketers who had nothing to do with design.

so i guess if you're a super nerd there's your dating pool, served on a plate. pretend to care about "flat design" for an hour, meet a ton of employed under-30 women

i wouldn't mind going to that just for the subject matter :/

As a kid I used to click 'burn' and then run out of the room because I was so afraid of activity on the computer loving up the burn (CDRs are expensive, man!) that I thought even the vibrations of my footsteps moving the mouse might gently caress things up.

the commodore 64 was dirt loving cheap. it dropped below $300 in like 1984 after being release in 1982 for $600. then by 1986 it was like $200

it was popular globally because dirt cheap + still technically useful for some computer stuff

in contrast the amiga sold like poo poo everywhere but a bunch of idiot euro nerds overestimate its importance because their parents never bought them real game consoles or real computers.
