I'm in recovery and these alcohol ads are literally painful. Like one 30 second ad will make me spiral and I'll need my antianxiety meds and my ESA. How do I stop the fucking algorithm?

For context I watch everything on my Xbox one because my laptop is broke

End-Of-Life For Z80 CPU And Peripherals Announced | Hackaday

In a Product Change Notification (PCN) published on April 15, Zilog (now owned by Littelfuse) announced the End of Life for a range of Z80 products, specifically virtually all of the Z84C00 range. This also includes the peripherals, such as the Z84C10 range of MPUs. These are currently already marked as EoL on stores like Mouser, with Littelfuse noting that the last orders with them can be placed until June 14th of 2024. After that you’ll have to try your luck with shady EBay sellers and a lucky box of old-new-stock found in the back of a warehouse.

What this effectively means is that after just under 48 years since its launch in 1976, the Zilog Z80 will no longer be available for sale as discrete components, which is likely to primarily impact hobbyists and people who are trying to keep retro systems going. This does not mean that it’s the end of the road for Z80, however, as the eZ80 will be produced for the foreseeable future.

These new chips will of course not come in easy to drop in DIPs, making the challenge of breadboarding your own Z80-based microcomputer that much tougher. Yet one thing that definitely won’t happen is any of us witnessing the end of the era of the Z80, 6502 and 8051 architectures.

As we all know here, material conditions have progressively been getting worse and worse. Based on pretty much all political theory, crime rates should also be going up with worse material conditions. But they haven't, in fact, crime rates have been going consistently down for the past 30 or so years. Why is that?

Will my medicaid cover both the eye exam and the glasses and or contacts, whatever I decide? I haven't been to the eye doctor in years and I never used medicaid for it, last time I went I paid out of pocket since I had some cash.

Apparently the last outreach was unsuccessful, because while a few people showed up to the attempted screening on Tuesday another user decided to invite everyone except for me to an unplanned screening of The Sopranos.

I like The Sopranos, but the anime night had already been planned. Why this user decided to do this is still left unexplained. Nonetheless, I would like some feedback on when the right time to watch this excellent show is, along with some clarification of how Hextube scheduling works.

Bonus points if it’s the funniest instrument possible for that particular song. Singing is an instrument for the purposes of this post, idk what the actual musician consensus is on if vocals are an instrument or something else.

one day last year I was in the gym and went to the lat pulldown machine in the middle of my workout. someone had it on 200 lbs or something, so I pulled the pin out of the weight stack, and the entire attachment fell on the back of my head. this was a really heavy metal attachment, must have been like 20-30 lbs fell on my head. I got really dizzy for ~30 seconds and had a big bump on my head, but that was somehow all that happened.

to this day, I'm kind of scared and cautious whenever I change the weight on those machines.

This is a question primarily for the queer comrades but of course any of yall can comment.

Recently I saw some criticism of the symbol's use because so few of those who wear it ever had to actually experience it.

Personally I wear it on my jacket, and have worn it for several years. I don't think I'll remove it, but I was curious about other people's thoughts.

Asking for a friend

Hi Mx. Chapo,

I'm looking for advice about reporting labor law violations in California, USA. A good friend of mine works in the medical field, and they (and their coworkers) are routinely victims of wage theft. "Overtime" is policed to the extent that it is normal for them to clock out at exactly 8 hours, but continue working for 10-15 minutes.

My friend is annoyed by this, but is afraid of retaliation, and generally likes the job. Can anyone tell me how to report this anonymously? Cursory internet searches make it seem like the reporting party has to be identifiable.

Pasta is made from dough consisting mainly of flour and water. So essentially pasta is a other form of bread.

Lasagna is most commonly made from alternating layers of pasta, tomato sauce, veggies, cheese, and meat.

With all of that in mind, does this mean a big Mac is a lasagna? Does this also mean deep dish pizzas are lasagna?
