> British Vice-Admiral Edward Vernon ordered that the daily rum issue of one-half imperial pint (284 ml) of rum be mixed with one imperial quart (1,100 ml) of water, a water-to-rum ratio of 4:1, with half issued before noon and the remainder after the end of the working day.
I wonder if I could popularize grog as a modern lifestyle hack for drinking more water or some shit?

Sorry, I don't understand. What would be the purpose of them sending a fake wallet?
Wouldn't they then be unable to receive the money they're scamming you into sending?
@134318c2 Similar success was seen by cities like Medicine Hat which simply provided free housing for the homeless population.
While it's definitely still difficult to address the underlying issues that lead to homelessness and poverty, actually solving homelessness and poverty themselves isn't that hard for a rich nation like Canada to achieve.

Something important to state about the success of these programs is that they're amongst the first to actually engage with the homeless population!
Turns out that homeless people actually have a lot of insight into what they actually need to succeed.

I'm honestly shocked by how much I use the flipperzero for wired protocols.
I have a bin full of professional devices for various types of ISP, JTAG, UART, SPI, DAP link, etc. The list keeps growing.
There are definitely still times I need a proper big kid programmer or flasher, but it's awesome having something in my pocket that covers so many common cases.

@d1e2f8e7 I think on-street charging will eventually be ubiquitous in most places.
Anywhere that people park for longer periods of time—home, work, and third places like gyms, libraries, etc—and where there are already street lamps are great candidates for cheap L2 charging retrofits.
Where I live, they just fit the streetlamp with an LED bulb—yes, LED streetlamps have some problems, but they're getting better every year—and that gives those fixtures enough spare wattage for an L2 charger to be installed right inside the pole.
Of course we'll eventually need to expand beyond just adding L2 chargers to street lamps, but in a lot of urban and suburban areas it's a low-cost, high value way to get started and would give a _lot_ more people the ability to charge slowly while parked.
