  • I remember talking to a Japanese coworker about some pain I was experiencing, and they asked if it was like zukizuki or - some other word.

  • Not necessarily.

    While slave labour is cheap, at scale a combine harvester is even cheaper.

    But it's not just the raw production cost that matters. If you add a 200% levy, then ofcourse you risk tipping the edge back over to the black market.

  • I too have never tried cannabis, and I too support legalisation.

    Not because of the effects it has on the consumer, but because the effects it has on the producer.

    It depends on where you are, but where I am - the UK - the producers are primarily enslaved. A fact that is rarely talked about.

    Recently there was a big drug bust. The headlines all described how many dogs were freed - less than twenty. But deep in the articles behind euphemistic language you could read that one and a half thousand enslaved people were also freed.

  • I've been using a M1 for well over a year, and until about two weeks ago I didn't know it had a notch.

    I don't follow the tech press, who I'm sure discussed it a great length when it was released. And I'm not personally invested in the Mac, it's owned by my employer.

    So I didn't notice the notch until my cursor disappeared while scrolling across the top of the screen.
