I recently went to the grocery store and before I started scanning at the self-checkout, I realized someone else had scanned a box of “Men’s libido max” pills and apparently left as it required ID or something to buy, and I guess they didn’t want to look someone in the face and buy it.

So then I had to look someone in the face while they cleared it from the register, probably thinking that I was the one who had the change of heart.

I mean the downsides are basically cost, another stick/blood draw, potential for false positive and further anxiety/testing. No weigh-in on whether or not any individual should at any specific time, but even less-invasive screenings are not zero risk.

Excerpt from the US Preventative Task Force about prostate cancer screening:

“An elevated PSA level may be caused by prostate cancer but can also be caused by other conditions, including an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia) and inflammation of the prostate (prostatitis). Some men without prostate cancer may therefore have positive screening results (ie, “false-positive” results). Men with a positive PSA test result may undergo a transrectal ultrasound-guided core-needle biopsy of the prostate to diagnose prostate cancer.”

Germany had 17 active nuclear plants in 2011 and decommissioned them all by 2023.

Unpackerr is usually used for unzipping files downloaded automatically by Radar or Sonarr, but it can also be configured to point to any folder, like your downloads. It’s fairly easy to set up, especially if you’re just pointing it to a folder.

I recently jumped to mint, and I have to say I’m very happy with it. I struggled with like two things but the OS is popular enough that there are walkthroughs for nearly everything. And I was able to get Linux-based or browser-based software for everything I did on my windows computer

Seconded. A very chill and entertaining informational podcast that benefits greatly from its conversational style.

And episodes can be about nearly anything. Forgiveness, the Cannonball Run, the Loch Ness monster, the sun, beavers, the Equal Rights Act. They’re all great. I’ve been listening since 2012.

Alpha Pheonix is a great channel with some really good electricity videos recently.

Similarly, I started always reaching out of my car to touch the outside paint above the door when climbing out of the car to prevent a static shock from rubbing against the sheet and discharging when I close the door.
