Yeah it's a shame because there was a time that Toms hardware was so good and often neck and neck with Anandtech in terms of great articles to read, but at some point it became more sensationalist and the line betweens tom's guide and tom's hardware blurred (with tom's guide seeming to take over). There are still nuggets that are okay, but just not like it used to be.

You can usually call or check out a website rather than driving. Most people save them up, then take them all at once or take them when they are going there anyway with other stuff to dispose of.

Also be really careful if one breaks (get everyone out of the room and air it out first).

Yeah that's not quite it. Placebo is actually present for most/the majority of people, but they (researched of various kinds )are looking for effects that are above and beyond the level demonstrated by the placebo alone.

One fun thing to think about is that most (maybe all) treatments include some degree of placebo effect inherently.

Don't worry, you can get a big wagon, buy tons of ammo and then fill that wagon with just hunted meat (you may never see Oregon, or probably the equivalent of Ohio either).

Apparently Apple backed it.... Color me confused.

I'll add on as someone that works with trans folks preparing for hormones/surgery, FFS is usually less common compared to other procedures, and is itself a cluster of surgeries that people may choose to do any combination of. Some of those surgeries are less drastic some are pretty intense (graphic warning: basically peeling back a portion of your face from your skull, changing bone and slapping that face back on). The more intense options are understandably not for everyone. FFS (and most other surgeries) usually comes into play after people give hormones a few years to do their thing and see where things end up. Let the canvas stabilize before working on it.

Looks like someone wasn't paying attention then.

Edit: okay that was a little harsh. But maybe I will still say if that was what you focused on and took away from the pandemic it seems like you missed the bigger picture of politics and perspectives of who was actually using science to guide choices and who has people's best interests in mind.
