Very sad story about Vitamin B1 https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2021/01/vitamin-b1-thiamine/617884/
After being a fan of CBS "Elementary" for many years, I've recently started watching BBC "Sherlock" and I have to say I'm delighted by how different they are. Incomparable. Both brilliant, in their unique way.

You'll either love me or you'll hate me.
Always remember me or never forget me.
I am the one and the zero,
I am the poet and the hero.
I am different, yet normal.
Not spontaneous, but informal.
Usually smart, but sometimes stupid.
Easy to love, once you're shot by Cupid.
I am looking for you
that have a heart (in the right place),
that use your head (to travel in space)
but have your feet firmly on the ground,
are looking for me and want to be found.

@thegibson @jeffalyanak @djsundog Surveillance capitalists' greatest asset is apathy. The vast majority will sacrifice every last scrap of privacy for even the slightest convenience, as long as it's not visible to them. It's almost like most are unable to recognize privacy violations if there is not literally a pair of eyes looking at them. Which makes sense because it was the main way privacy was violated for the first 99.9% of human existence.
