Yeah, I think my ideal site would be some combination of PredictionBook and LongBets. I may code one myself, if I can’t find one.
(...and by code one myself, I mean find a friend to help me, because I’m worthless at coding!)
I have one, and it’s far less comfortable.
Besides, buying these sorts of masks new should be left to healthcare workers or (“essential” workers) and those that most need them. The rest of us should wear cloth masks.
must free of anything ending -ate (except stearate) or -ic acid; free of magnesium except magnesium stearate (it’s insoluble)
The only product you link violates this. It contains stearic acid...

Completely agreed. I even publicly announced on my Facebook when Bitcoin was USD that I was buying 100USD worth, but then once I looked into how to even convert USD to Bitcoin, I said “eh, not worth, even it for some interesting economic experiment”.
I run a curated Discord for high agency people with Long COVID/ME (myalgic encephalomyelitis). The group includes tech founders, researchers, rationalists/EAs, etc. The focus is on troubleshooting each other’s conditions actively, as well as creating a body of knowledge to bring back to the wider community in the form of writing, education, projects, companies, etc.
Some know me as Liface, others as Liam Rosen—I have been in the Rationality community for over 10 years, previously in the Bay, now in New York City, and am the main moderator of r/slatestarcodex. I am a tech CEO whose former life abruptly ended last year. I am now bedbound with severe Long COVID/ME, and am dedicating 100% of my time and effort to helping myself and both everyone else around me figure out these complex conditions.
If you, or anyone you know might be a good fit for this group, feel free to message me here, or email me at liamrosen@gmail.com.
