  • Should supermarkets just sell alcohol to 10 year olds?

    I think there are plenty of places where age gating makes sense as a concept, it really is mainly the data security that’s an issue. The other is that it should be somewhat circumventable, which I think mainly requires it not being tied to identity (so much like you could get someone older to buy you alcohol you could get someone else to verify your age).

    What I think is bad is age gating social media instead of doing something about how harmful it is because clearly adults are not immune and all that does is make it harder for children to get important information.

    Saw a metastudy a few days ago that concluded that current research suggests that too much protein (particularly when you don’t exercise) can actually be quite harmful and shorten lifespan. Though we mostly have data on rodents because studying diet long term in humans isn’t easy. It also varies based on the specific type of protein.

    Shits complicated but daily protein shake with a diet that also contains a bunch of protein could very well be not the best idea.

    Dying from disease or accident is normal and called living. The ecosystem issue where they aren’t native is very real but keeping wild cats caged in an overpopulated shelter is nothing short of torture for them (it’s probably bad enough for domesticated cats). And I don’t see how just killing them would be any better for the cats (tho arguably for the local ecosystem that would often just be the overall right move). Claiming to want to do either out of love for cats just seems extremely misguided.

    Got one of those as well. I knew that pw was in multiple data breaches though. The concept preys on the fact that many people don’t know how passwords are usually acquired and think it means someone has access to their pc.


  • That really depends on how much is stolen.

    If margin is idk 30% then losing 3 sales to prevent 1 stolen item loses you money, assuming you account for the stolen item at what you paid for it rather than the selling price (which makes sense unless you expect it to sell out, i guess you can add a bit for storage+set up cost but that’ll be near nothing for a single item).
