I wouldn’t call MDMA downer.

Somewhat similar to this https://giphy.com/gifs/iphonex-26n79WqJAIUBjiaEE (intentionally stupid looking, coming from /r/ProgrammerHumor).

Another fan of containers. I switched to Chromium/Safari a long time ago, but installed Nightly 57 the other day out of curiosity, and containers is definitely the best feature in it. Only thing I would love even more would be a private/incognito container (or basically private tabs alongside regular tabs without the need for opening a private new window).

IIRC there's a Sublime plugin (obviously) that supports copy pasting formatted code with syntax highlighting. I definitely remember using it at university. Printing to PDF to get syntax highlighting just sounds like an unnecessary step in between.

I don't live in the United States so my purchasing power from two hours of work is exponentially smaller, but I get your point. Truth is, I don't really use Sublime (or any other text editor) that often anymore, because I'm working with Java and using IntelliJ IDEA for that. If I used Sublime Text professionally, I (or my employer) would have bought the licence in a heartbeat.

> One note: Jon needs to show the new adaptive theme with matching title bar for MacOS on the main page.

Wow, that's nice! Since it's not the default, if you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't even know about it.

Noone's stopping you from buying more licences, if you really want to support the dev. I think it's overpriced as it is (as another commenter mentioned, considering the competition is FOSS), but I might buy it one day, when I have more disposable money (assuming I won't have switched to VSCode or $hotNewThing by then). I really do like Sublime, and I'm happy 3 is out of beta, but seeing the userbase migrate to Atom/VSCode is worrisome, and makes me doubt $80 is worthwhile investment (I'm mostly worried about third party plugin devs, which was once Sublime's biggest strength).

Yes, you must be the only one.

That's what I assumed was going to happen, but nowhere in the keynote was it black.

I think this is definitely the problem in the United States. In my country they don't just willy nilly prescribe opioids. The best you get is ibuprofen. For example, after a terrible shoulder injury or tooth extraction, that's all you get. It helps with the pain, but doesn't remove it 100%, doesn't get you hooked though. Of course they give IV opioids after surgeries and such, but even then something mild and in small doses, and only for a certain period time. I remember still feeling pain after an appendectomy, but they refused to give me any more tramadol and just switched to IV ibuprofen. It's just not a thing as a prescription medicine. Except maybe for terminal cancer patients or something equally drastic.

Going off on a tangent, what my country might have a problem with, is benzos, however. They're prescribed like psychiatric vitamins.

Me too. Besides what you mentioned, I'm particularly fond of /r/mdma, /r/psychonaut and /r/rationalpsychonaut (for discussions about psychedelics sans spirituality and religion). Also /r/nootropics. And /r/drugs in general. Don't forget /r/trees, which is of course the gateway subreddit, but it's rather boring in comparison.

I order my Anker stuff straight from China. On second thought, IIRC the Anker charger I bought from AliExpress was delivered from a warehouse in Estonia, so there wasn't even the typical wait involved.
