Ask to plug it into a working computer they’re selling.

Yandex disk. They accept credit cards.

There’s one fairly local here. They carry non-perishables, and their stock is definitely better than the dollar store. They used to be called “Freight Liquidators.”

Some work; some don’t. Google Scholar is a good way to find out whether testing’s been done. Here are 2 less time-consuming ways 1) https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/list-all/ 2) https://examine.com/ The other thing to watch out for is whether the bottle you’re buying actually contains what it says it does. The only verifying organizations I know of are NSF and USP. Manufacturers have to pay for those lab tests, and if they do, they post NSF or USP logos on the bottles. If you just look for “natural” or “organic,” you won’t find anything about the presence or absence of the supposedly active ingredient. As jmp242 said, there’s no regulation in the USA, so there’s a lot of snake oil.

We know that people who have less tend to be more generous than people who have more.

I’ve wondered how you ship one back if you don’t like it.

Dessalines’ 8/7 response must be the answer https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3827#:~:text=dessalines commented on,as cross-posts.

Maybe the answer is that other users cross-post, and those cross-posts are displayed. https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/15484385684628-How-to-Crosspost-your-community-s-content-to-other-communities

Who downvotes honest questions?

Thanks. Here’s a screenshot. If I understand you, the answer is that if anyone from federated instance A subscribes from there to a community X on federated instance B, then community X’s posts get cross-posted to instance B. But that doesn’t explain cross-posting to specific communities on instance(s) B, so I think I’m missing your explanation.

Depends on what you can afford. Foam mattresses are easy, b/c you can have them shipped, but you can’t try before you buy. Hybrid mattresses are popular. They have springs inside and foam on one side. You can’t flip them over, like you can with old-fashioned mattresses. Recently, I saw in a Goodwill thrift shop, a decent hybrid mattress for little money. They have a deal with a US manufacturer. I know this b/c I needed a new mattress a couple of years ago. In the process of looking, I found a couple of online sites comparing different brands and types. I seem to remember they weren’t affiliated with any sellers. If I’d saved the links, I’d share them. Figuring out exactly what they’re selling and comparing between brands is complicated. Good luck. P.S., Low-quality foam deteriorates quicker than pricier foam.

Is that a devil’s-advocate question? Anyway, I don’t know, but I suspect. I’m not their customer, I’m their product. The more access they have to data, the more money they make.

I don’t want Google to use my emails and documents to train their AI.

FF does PWs well.

Oh, hell no!

Matt Stoller has a good newsletter about monopoly power https://www.thebignewsletter.com/

Yup, but it’s a question of whom society recognizes as smart. Bill and Hill met at Yale. They sold us a bill of good with free trade. They thought they could get away with Hillary crafting a national healthcare system, almost in secret, and that everyone would accept it b/s she’s brilliant. Obama, Columbia/Harvard/Univ of Chicago, bailed out bankers, not home owners. That was a disaster.

The term, best and brightest, came into common use in describing to the Kennedy adminstration. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Best_and_the_Brightest They really bungled Vietnam.

I don’t know that we’ve ever been governed by the best and brightest. Sometimes I think we’re governed by the most venal and greedy.
