Not so good as Strongbad’s offerings, but here is a Real Estate Listing for sure. -- (link) - Qale Jul 3, 09:26 2

Weird -- I'm trying to download some podcasts -- they download fine into iTunes, but then freeze on the "Processing file" part for minutes... - Will Hunting Jul 3, 08:00 3
- Don’t use iTunes? - spamlet Jul 3, 08:07 2
  - Meh, I generally don’t hate iTunes. Considering I have a huge library, it does well. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 3, 08:44 1

Interesting video I just saw about a team of biohackers that are working to make insulin much cheaper. -- (link) - Krusty Jul 3, 07:12 [youtube] 2
- The story of insulin's history makes me want to put medical company execs in a sealed room and watch them suffer - Will Hunting Jul 3, 07:32 1
  - Walmart seems to have started selling a much cheaper fast acting insulin and the CEO of Eli Lilly said they will keep looking for ways - Krusty Jul 3, 07:41

  - Also, lol - znufrii Jul 3, 08:23 1
    - Would it be possible to govern without laws? The White Claw government? -- nm - JD Jul 3, 10:48
  - pfft -- nm - mud Jul 3, 08:22
- Is "Pretend they're Black; cleared by brunch." too cynical? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 3, 07:35 4
  - Absolutely not. -- nm - Diva Jul 3, 08:01
  - You think it’d take that long? - znufrii Jul 3, 07:41 2
