I didn’t have any issues either. And IDC about self-signed certs, from reputable people, either.

It’s a mess and another reason to eliminate middle men. I’m okay with data being collected for WHO, for purposes of tracking morbidity and mortality, and modality for treatment, but I’d be interested in digging into how those rules are written, too.

It’s just self signed, if the maintainers of those instances can keep them running despite greedy, horrible yt shenanigans, I’m fairly confident in their ability and self interest, in proper security.

You’re very welcome, and thank you. This pretty little pie brought back fond memories of my childhood and grandparents, on both sides. We had apples, pears, peaches, and gardens full of delicious foods.

That’s a gorgeous presentation. Well done!

You really can’t overstate this plain truth, and people will still cling to the illusion of freedom.

Was he on that island discussing whether the billionaires could keep their security detail loyal with shock collars?

Ellison is the world’s sixth-richest man with a net worth of $157 billion, according to Bloomberg.

They are really concerned when people tire of their children dying from hunger and easily treatable diseases, we’ll be coming for them. But rather than give up an iota of the money generations can never spend for our ecology and things people need to live, they resort to things like shock collars and surveillance states.

OT: appropos that a M*** arm is called that.

Tbf, I’m fairly convinced some of us do this. JK, don’t crucify me.

We are stardust, we are golden, we are billion year old carbon, and we’ve got to get ourselves back to the garden.

All lovely, the philodendron tripped my trigger!

How lovely.i don’t recall having seen it before.

It’s not just science, although science plays a role in every field. It’s everywhere, and why we’ve reached market saturation with mediocrity, in every field, every business. Those who would exceed mediocrity are ostracized and othered as if excellence is a bad thing, unless they are willing to compromise in other, not public-facing areas.

Okay and that happens with OTC medications, too. I have a family member who’s solution to everything is a *pill. Always taken in half or double, triple, quadruple dosages. Older and runs to the doctor for a sneeze too.

You can lead a jackass to water, but you can neither make them drink nor prevent them from drowning. Or in this instance, giving themselves hyponatremia.

Edited for reasons

Lab synthesis had it’s own set of problems. Imo, isolation of the"active" agent being one. Slippery elm and white willow teas don’t taste good, but maybe the “inactive” ingredients work with the active ingredient in ways that are simply not studied.

The “right one” would be open access by governments. But that’s socialism, and bad for reasons ($$$$).

Freely accessible knowledge is abundant, for now. For instance, someone with overly high BP wouldn’t want to consume much ginger, for digestive issues. Or simply, “contraindications of ginger”.

I mean if you’re going to die without access, roll the dice.

Quite frankly, the contamination from pesticide and polluted air, water and dirt on everyday foods (and of course my herbs) are a bigger concern. They’re ubiquitous and unavoidable, now, thanks to big business and apathetic, time-constrained, overworked individuals. So I’m not that concerned by home remedies, although I really only trust my own. Some herbalists/root medics add turpentine to their remedies, for internal use. So I’ll stick to my own or vetted suppliers.
