For using msbuild or vsbuild to build C projects.

Can be installed standalone but it's typically just easier to install the full VS suite because on a shared runner it's better to include the entire kitchen.

When cocaine usage first exploded, it was almost entirely in "laborers, youths, black people, and the urban underworld". Most of the early history of its usage is associated with non-whites and lower class peoples. Making it illegal worked for a long time until the cocaine boom happened and then it became popular with disco and rock, but again, still mostly used by non-whites. It wasn't until crack became a thing that the racial divide became more clear - rich whites got the clean cocaine, everyone else got addicted to crack.

The switch to being heavily used by the rich white class is a "relatively" recent development.

Signal does not. https://signal.org/bigbrother/santa-clara-county/

Tl;dr: Signal gave the court timestamps for three out of nine phone numbers that the court demanded data on. The timestamps were the dates three phone numbers last registered their accounts with Signal. That’s it. That is all the data there was to give.

This is why I use Signal. This is why I donate monthly to Signal.

The no-poo (no shampoo) movement is very real and definitely works for many people (dependant on hair type and oil secretions). Basically, once you stop washing away your natural oils daily, the production normalizes and then a regular rinse with water and occasionally something like diluted soap, lemon juice or apple cider vinegar.

I've met them, I was one, I know them. You wouldn't know unless they told you.

Read closer- they are not removing grandfathered rates for 1 and 6 month packages that do not let membership lapse for more than 14 days.

There's grandfather rates plus bulk discounts!

Maybe..

But overstand is a common word in Rasta.

They make a lot of intentional linguistic “adjustments” that are made for political/ spiritual reasons. I believe the switch from understand to overstand has to do with feelings of sovereignty and not being “under” someone.

The sovcits have probably borrowed this idea of making a political statement by changing language

Lifetime chronically poor sleeper here - Look at Andrew Huberman for advice.

Natural supplements: magnesium threonate, glycine, l-theanine, apigenin. No melatonin.

Prescription: 50mg Trazadone when things are really bad. Dogs can easily get this drug prescribed :)

Hygiene: regular sleep time. No phones in bed. Cold room. Improved bedding. If you can't sleep or wake up in the middle of the night, get out of bed and do -something- that isn't on a screen for a few minutes. No water near bedtime. No caffeine after noon. Try a white noise machine and a high quality eye mask such Manta.

10 minutes of sunlight immediately after waking. View the sky before the sun sets. Enable blue light filters using something like Twilight, specially for evening hours. Avoid overhead lights at night and, if possible, at night switch to lights that are lower than your head.

Regular meditation and breathing exercises. No alcohol within 4 hours of sleep. Don't eat any food near bed time.

Get a sleep tracker such as Oura to provide metrics and data on the efficacy of these various methods and to see how your body reacts to timing of stuff like meals, alcohol, supplements, etc.

...? Did you even look at the picture? That's 60-70%+ of the brands in any major retailer. It a bit of an oversight to suggest that poor decision making is leading to buying from these shit companies. You have to actually go out of your way to NOT buy one of these brands.
