I normally don't post here but i just wanted to say that i've noticed the same thing around me and have also felt the crushing depression that comes with the realisation that everyone is addicted to something that's destroyin

I'm not sure how many they've actually sold but i do know that they have a loan/test program where you can pay a relatively small amount (around $2000 or less) to get set up with a MinION kit. The main recurring cost is the f

Am i correct in assuming that getting peer reviewed binds you to their terms, one of which must be to disallow other means of distribution? I know at uni, our tutors told us to politely email researchers for a copy in case our subscription

That only happens when you factory reset (and with less apps than that) or you upgrade to another big version, doesn't it?

I wish it was still possible to buy one relatively cheap in the UK. This was a big part of my childhood. Me and my siblings would communicate with each other around the house and even with neighbours down the block. So many memories.

Probably the fact that she's relatively new and seen as an outside by most in the community who wants to "ban behaviour" yet goes after ideas (see: /r/fatpeoplehate drama, while subreddits like /r/coontown

"$0.10/hr, people would be still lined for blocks to take the job when the alternative is nothing." Are you serious? You could find more money on the floor than work at a job like that.
