  • Agreed, news needs to be held to a higher standard than it is now. There’s a whole list of journalist code of ethics that basically distils to be truthful, minimize harm, be independent, and be accountable.

    *some example of minimize harm;

    • don’t dig through a celebrities trash looking for condoms
    • if there’s an accident you don’t show pictures of the dismembered victims
    • don’t identify victims of abuse
    • don’t claim an accusation as fact until proven (this why every news stations says “allegedly” all the time)

  • I hate those arbitrary cut offs for aid. Oops, you got a raise and now make $28,100 sorry no more medicare. It locks people into low paying jobs because if they make too much, they instantly loose all the benefits that their little raise doesn’t match.

    if we’re not going to do free-for-all, it should at least be on a very large scale,

    make less then 28k = 100% covered,

    29, 99% covered

    30, 98% covered

    All the way up to when 128k = 0% covered

    (You’d have fix healthcare prices too, procedures/medicines are priced so insurance looks like they are doing you a favor “you only had to pay $700 for this $25,000 procedure and the $600 follow up medicine will only cost you $100 a week”)


  • If your on Android;

    Amdroid is the best alarm app I’m aware of. (Called “Alarm clock for heavy sleepers” on play store)

    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amdroidalarmclock.amdroid

    (Best few bucks Ive spent on an app, ad version just has ads in ui, nothing crazy) It has a feature where 5 min after you dismiss the alarm, it’ll send a notification asking if your awake. If you don’t respond after a while, the alarm goes again. (Times adjustable)

    Sorry I’ve typed more than intended too, I’ll put most under a spoiler so its not a wall of text…

    wall of text

    It also manages alarms setting as profiles, set up a few types of alarms once and when setting new alarms you only have to set a time and pick a profile.

    Tons of different options; You can make them location or calendar dependent, make dismissing them require a certain light level or WiFi signal strength (go turn on a light or stand next to router in other room). You can make your self do some math or captcha to dismiss alarm (I have mine set to require a simple captcha when deleting,). You can make snooze duration get incrementally less, so maybe 10min, then 8, then 6 and so on…

    Got a day off or need to wake up early one day, well you can skip or change the time for just the next time the alarm is supposed to go off, then it goes back to normal.






  • Keepassdx is sadly not on ios.

    The only good one I’ve found is called strongbox. Free version works fine, but the pro version prices are insanity for something that is free everywhere else. I could get behind a lifetime buy of $10, but for $99 hell no. (Monthly sub is $3 or $25/year).

    Looking at the app store now, most of the keepass apps have some form of in app purchace.

    Only truly free one is call keepass touch, but frankly when I tired it, it sucked.
