Hard News: Things that do us good and ill, in reply to Eediot,
Ok. From the posts so far I had to check I was following the same original story.
But (if I’m on the right thread) looks like Florida isn’t the only state with this problem.Oh, indeed. But this part makes clear quite how special Florida was:
At one point, more than 90% of all the prescription opioids dispensed by doctors in the US were sold in Florida.

But those chemicals … has leading indent that no other para has
Unfixable consequence of a little bit of ad placement-related javascript.
And thanks - although Ian notes, it's better done by email.

Speaker: I am a Really Useful Engine, in reply to Rebecca Gray,
but I will say I know you wrote that Missing Stair piece among all sorts of other great stuff, and that looks like pretty bloody useful/valuable work from where I’m sitting.
That post is a great example of what Emma does so well: writes things that we come back to for years after, because they Say It Right.

I have a version of this that I tell myself: I want to be a useful citizen.
To that end, I try and have one or two unpaid governance roles (preferably one) where my experience might be useful.
Also, what I do here very rarely attracts anything like a reasonable rate of pay, or covers development costs. But it's the thing I most want to do.
I'm not the only one here of course, or always the most useful: Access is an important voice and Capture makes people happy.
But I routinely turn down invitations to speak unpaid, even from nice people. That takes preparation and is mildly stressful. I have an agent and I'm supposed to earn money from that stuff.

Hard News: Three Dreams, in reply to Alfie,
In my early 20s I experimented with lucid dreaming where you try to set up the dream in advance. I never had much success.
Different thing, but two or three times I've woken up to go for a pee, come back to bed and thought "I liked that dream" and been able to go back into it. That was cool.

Hard News: Three Dreams, in reply to Emma Hart,
My subconscious is, perhaps unsurprisingly, a total arsehole.
Yeah, not cool, Emma's subconscious.

Hard News: Three Dreams, in reply to Emma Hart,
I have never, ever had the Flying Dream. Starting to wonder if that’s unusual.
I don't know. I'm quite surprised by how many people have something similar to mine.
Do y'all have the remembered-as-real thing?

Hard News: Three Dreams, in reply to James Dunne,
and then realising what your subconscious was getting at
Yes. For me it's not like it happens often – like most people, I generally forget my dreams on waking – but when it does it's "Oh, right. I see what you're saying there."

Hard News: This. Is. Crazy., in reply to Andrew C,
Have they updated their website RB? I see it saying it will be in the tens of thousands
No, their graphic still punts for "??,000 to ???,000". Helpful approximation, innit?
