It seems mainstream media takes so long to get actual news, people have been using CBD for years but now that it's becoming more popular it's okay to report on it.

I wonder what other great medical news the mainstream media is refusing to report.


This title is severely misleading, the article discusses pigments in tattoo ink, not tattoo ink in general. I am covered in tattoos, none of my tattoos have color.

"but researchers suggest dirty needles aren’t the only risk of the age-old practice"

I have also never seen an artist use a dirty needle, and would never let a dirty needle hit my skin with ink.


figures a psychology website would try to categorize everyone in one little box. nobody even knows what "life" is, so how would we even know what the "ideal" life is.

people only go into the psychology field for the $$


>nobody even knows what "life" is, so how would we even know what the "ideal" life is.

Yeah, so we should never generalize, just point at individual things and say "this".

>people only go into the psychology field for the $$

So much for not generalizing.


Who's categorizing people into little boxes now?


not sure it need a revival. i have been using irc since 99


Washington post maybe?


The secret is buying from goodwill and reselling online. It's a great side hustle and easy.


My sister does this. She makes a few thousand a month selling stuff on ebay that she picks out of the bins at Goodwill in Portland.

I went up there for Christmas to help automate her workflow. She was doing it on Gen 1 Surface which was less than ideal. So I gave her my old computer. She actually likes digging through the bins looking for gems. It is just listing them on eBay that is pain since she has to wash the stuff and then take pictures and write up a description and list things.

She has a good eye. I went to the bins with with her and she would pull out a pair of yoga pants and say should could get 60 bucks for them. And she did.

So there is a bit of skill involved. But she consistently makes a nice chunk of change and I would say about 95% of what she lists get sold.


As a buyer I found that the key is to find a seller who specialises in items that were originally good quality and high ticket prices. For example there's a UK company called Rohan who make outdoor/adventure/travel clothing, it's great gear but eye watering prices. However on Ebay it's relatively easy to find sellers of this gear and, because the stuff is good quality, older items are still perfectly servicable ( even waterproofs ). Also I think that the better quality manufacturers will have more consistent sizing which makes buying easier.

Personally I prefer Rohan's older designs as I think that they're more practical which is even better because they're cheaper! These days all my walking gear, other than boots, comes from Ebay.


Aha, so another case of arbitrage between old-school brick-and-mortar merchants and Internet sales. People make their living visiting mom-and-pop stamp dealers (or coin dealers, or used bookstores), run by old guys who don't get the "Internet" thing, buy up suitable inventory, and re-sell on the web. It works especially well when, for example, a stamp dealer in small town U.S.A. has a stock of French stamps (French coins, rare French books). Locals aren't interested in French stamps, but if you sell on the Internet, you can find buyers in France.


I guess, surprisingly, I'm the good guy for actually paying for my things.

Wonder how many small businesses go under because of this kind of theft.


Who is renting this space? Do people not have wifi and desks in their homes?


Why so pricey?


I bet Windows 95 runs like a beast with the memory we have these days.


Windows 95 actually had a soft limit of 512MB of RAM, but if you modified some config files you could get it to recognize up to 2GB in some cases... but it would cause pretty significant system instability.

And it wouldn't run at all if you had more than 1 CPU. I remember disabling one core in a Pentium D processor to keep running Windows 98.
