Surprisingly enough, some essential oils do have research-based actual uses, such as topical antibacterials, antifungals and antiparasitics.
While there’s quite a bit of woo woo around them, there’s also a lot of interesting research into phytochemicals like essential oils. Same with a few other “plant-based” things like pine resin; there’s even a clinically tested pine resin salve that helps with wound healing and is used for treating difficult wounds in some hospitals in Finland.
The problem with essential oils is trying to filter out the snake oil claims from the actual research-based claims. Most vendors tend to have pretty, well, wild claims about what their products can do, so your best bet is scholar.google.com or www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov and the like
So because VPN works for you, it’s impossible for it to not work for literally anybody else?

Trust me I’m a sovereign citizen, this is how it works
Better drink some colloidal silver in chlorine, no way could that be a scam. Gee why am I turning blue and shitting my guts out
is not a reasonable prospect.
Not that that’s stopped 4chan before
Ah yes, the 'ol fractal of horror
Reddit surfed through the years of cheap vc money but going public could kill it.
Wonder which fascist tech billionaire will buy it when it finally implodes
Oh absolutely, but it doesn’t have to be nefarious; I meant that they can afford to have good lawyers, accountants etc with questionable ethics on their payroll and first of all try to make sure you’re not easily caught doing whatever it was he is accused of (don’t remember anymore), and who will represent him in courts etc. You know, regular super-rich people shit 😁
Generally even if someone wasn’t found guilty of something in a court, you can’t necessarily assume that they didn’t do whatever they were charged with – all that tells by itself is that guilt couldn’t be proven to a level the court was happy with. You’d have to know more details to be able to judge (har har) whether it’s likely they really are innocent or not.
I don’t remember what it was he supposedly did to get sanctioned, nor if the article has any details about the proceedings, so his “innocence” could well be a more or less proven deal, so I mean the above more in a general sense than specifically related to this particular case
And I mean, using that information is fine as a basis for investigation would have been fine, it’s just that they should have checked it’s true before imposing sanctions.
Whether he’s actually “innocent” is one thing, but apparently it at least couldn’t be proven to a such degree that a court would be satisfied. It’s good to keep in mind that he’s still an oligarch, though; he has a lot of money and power to throw around
Probably why he’s calling for more dialogue
They are an existential threat as this point. Not only are they the biggest opposition to climate action, they’re also inevitably going to produce more Breiviks (or Hitlers for that matter)
Drinking aviation alcohol has long traditions in Russia. Generally I think fuels aren’t drinkable (at least more than once) but ethyl alcohol (ie. ethanol) is used in eg. cooling and air conditioning. The Tu-22 is known as the “supersonic booze carrier” because the cockpit air conditioning used 40% ABV ethanol / water mix for coolant, and air and ground crews would drink it and even sell it.
let’s not talk about my camera-buying habits lol
Ah, that’s the perfect hobby if you really hate having money 😅
One of the benefits of living in the Nordics is tap water that can literally be of higher quality than bottled water (assuming you don’t have bad pipes.) The only time I’ll ever buy bottled water is if I get really thirsty when I’m on the go and don’t have a bottle of tap water with me
That’s certainly a take. So eg. Finland is an imperialist country because we have a military, which is definitely not meant to just keep the Russians from rolling over the border and doing a Ukraine / Georgia / Chechnya to us. I take it your view is that if we or the Georgians or Ukrainians didn’t have a military, we wouldn’t be in any danger?
You are a nerd and your back hurts
You are a nerd with a CS degree
Yes I suspect that indeed was the joke
Yeah to expand on this, in professional settings you’ll want a higher sampling frequency so you don’t end up with eg. aliasing, but for consumer use ≥44–48kHz sampling rate is pretty much pointless
