  • People selling snakeoil these days don't even use real snake oil. How is the placebo going to work if customers can read on the ingredients that it is a synthetic immitation of propylene glycol and vegetable glycerine?

    Didn't Voyager's EMH take a crack at it also? I think he maybe had some success.

    I can't remember exactly, I've been watching Star Trek since 1966 and probably wasn't too mentally balanced even back then...

    I think he did, but I can't remember the outcome. Of all the Treks, Voyager has the least amount of episodes that I'll rewatch.

    The key point is that if the infection (any infection) can be identified, it wouldn't be too hard to target it with the transporter's biofilters and just remove it. There's a possibility that the biofilters might remove too much, but given the choice of a deadly plague killing you or spending a few days recovering in sickbay, the latter is preferable.

    Modified Borg nanoprobes might be able to target the pathogen, then again the cure might be worse than the disease.
    An online quiz called me a redneck in denial. What's wrong with storing food outdoors and being ready for the nuclear winter?
    If every day was friday, you would be working in a sweatshop full of empty promises.

    Phone addicts are tricked into working unpaid for advertisers by liking different things on social media. The ability to reply to work e-mails and work from home, makes the home into an office, so we are all sleeping at work.

    Sweden's racist party showed it's true colors when Jimmie Åkesson held his hate speech full of lies against muslims. Often using the term "islamists" to create an ambiguity between Islam and terrorists. Claimed that he is against violence, yet want barbaric punishments for foreigners who committed no crime, and described them as less than human with no right to free speech. He wants to ban freedom of religion and select who gets to vote by revoking citizenship for people who are less likely to vote for him. Very close to Hitler's speeches, so the other parties must band together and kick him out.
    If everyone had the same privilege as oil companies, thieves could sue the police through the ECT for confiscating their looted goods from disasters, thus undermining their windfall profits.
    Just came home from surgery where I had the cyst removed. Feeling strange from the morphine and gas. My pre-conscious might have been aware of the pain during sleep, because local anaesthesia does not work on me. I wonder if my pre-conscious can feel pain. Maybe it would scream if it could talk, but then it would be conscious just like me and not pre-conscious by definition. At least I can remember having nice dreams during surgery, so I did not just feel all the pain and then forget about it.

    Have to hope that philosophers know what they are doing.

    My sub-conscious is better than me at both drawing and composing music, but it only shows its ability when in the mood for it.

    It is just a red line now. Had it aired today, because it was bleeding for over a week when using watertight antibacterial band-aids too often.
    My mobile phone can no longer get winter time updates. I just bought the phone a decade ago and now they have already closed WAP so that I will have to set the time manually or buy a new phone despite having hardware in perfect condition. I smell corruption.

    I hear WAP and my mind goes completely else where, the internet has ruined me. New Phones are only made to last for a couple of years before they start slowing down, most updates are nothing but bloat to stop your phones from functioning normally after awhile, i just got a new Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra because i take a lot of pictures, but my old phone i had for 5 years no problem.

    Corruption, indeed. Have a look at something like this (or one of its forks):

    Your phone might have support under the projects... if you can unlock it and root it.

    Apple was caught intentionally slowing down their older models and pissing people off. Their defense was that they were doing it to help increase run time on older batteries. Yeah, right.
    Time traveled to the past this morning. Turned the clocks back one hour, but for some reason I did not see myself turning the clock back.

    I was checking the TV schedules for next weekend and noticed a time anomaly. It looks like your actions already hit us next weekend.

    We finally know how to create Thorium. Now we just have to crash two neutron stars into each other with a little elbow grease.

    Well, if they can shrink them down, turn them into vehicles and set them loose in Saint Cloud, Mn. , I'm fairly certain that it would happen.
