  • Once you get the script it honestly gets even more Kafkaesque. You can only fill the prescription every 28 days, which virtually guarantees that you will slowly lose a day or two every month just because everything doesn’t align properly between your appointments, the pharmacy filling the script, and you picking it up. Be the timer actually starts when you pick it up. God forbid you are out of town the week you need to refill, because it means you are just going to be down a whole week of meds.










  • EV rated outlets are a scam. I know the Internet is obsessed with this idea, but all UL listed NEMA outlets are perfectly capable of carrying their full load indefinitely, as the tests literally require them to draw 125% of their rated capacity until temperature stops increasing, and that temperature cannot be more than the temperature rating for the THHN/THWN wire they serve - typically 75C. This is a perfect example of internet forum conventional wisdom flat out getting something wrong and then stubbornly doubling down on bad information.




  • I think it’s almost easier to just say you can safely ignore anyone using the phrase “counter-revolution” in the context of statecraft, because it’s an inherently subjective, unserious phrase with a heavy and chilling history of oppression. The Bolshevists were counter-revolutionary afterall. Debates over who is the righteous revolutionary and who is the “foreign provacateur” will always be circular, and will alway reduce to suppressing the agency of all opposition, be it real or synthetic. Anarchists are simply not in the business of suppressing agency, be it via linguistic gymnastics or otherwise.

    Real social and political change will always be a project. It’s not “do the thing and then … Utopia.” As such it inherently needs to be built on a framework which embraces the idea of iterative progress, not one which treats it as suspicious by default.
