Exactly what I said. But you missed the bit about Virginia-Perique blends.

Not a good idea. Such a broth can be used as a pesticide but it’s also dangerous to humans and animals. Nicotine also absorbs through the skin so, anyone trying this (which I can’t recommend but for it’s dangers and general lack of need for pesticides in home gardens) should be extremely careful and use all PPE (durable waterproof gloves, goggles, long sleeves, trousers, and waterproof footwear, as well as respirator if there’s any chance of aerosolizing) when applying. Seriously. While it has been used historically by home gardeners, the toxicity is no joke.
And, always remember: Proper PPE is sexy.

nickwitha_k (he/him)@lemmy.sdf.orgto News@lemmy.world•Zohran Mamdani says 'I don't think we should have billionaires'93·3 days agoAnd yet the comments and downvotes shows how contentious it is which I knew it would be when I wrote it.
Probably extra contentious because it’s trans discrimination on Pride weekend. And there’s the fact that some research (backed by the International Olympic Committee) suggests that trans-women may perform worse than cis-women.
Even if more research comes out that shows otherwise (entirely possible considering that it’s hard to get a decent sample population of elite trans athletes as there are so few), discrimination is not a solution. The simplest solution would be to get rid of gendered leagues and group athletes by measureable athletic abilities. Probably would make most people with an actual vested interest happy, with exception of those who want to keep paying women less.

Also, I also have tremors when doing fine detail work. Depending on the cause (and your health), it may be possible for your Dr. to prescribe something to help. Mine suggested that β-blockers could help if it gets too intense.
nickwitha_k (he/him)@lemmy.sdf.orgto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Have you ever had to give up on a dream career?4·5 days agoYup. A massive portion entry and mid level positions in the scientific field that I did my undergrad in were offshored in my graduation year. This led to competing with PhD and MSc candidates, sometimes with 10+ years of experience, for basic lab tech positions… in a recession. Glad to have developed other skills.
nickwitha_k (he/him)@lemmy.sdf.orgto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Owners of laptops with very cheap aftermarket batteries, is it worth the discount?2·5 days agoWhat sort of batteries does it use? If it’s just Li-Ion cells like 18650s, it should be fairly easy to DIY. If it’s a proprietary Li-Poly, probably going to be more problematic.

Your claim is that “everything” that I previously stated was factually incorrect and have provided exactly nothing but ad hominem attacks to “prove” your point. So, are you going to backup your claims at all, or are you just approaching this in bad faith to troll or reinforce your pseudo-religious faith in LLMs (which will never be sentient nor save us from the problems that they are contributing to).
What’s a little heavy metal poisoning between friends?

Maybe you ought to also better understand that comparing one to people who stood up against exploitation isn’t really an insult. Just like the Rednecks were those fighting for the working class when they were gunned down by rent-a-cops with machine guns at Blair Mountain.
