Interesting, because I’ve noticed my meds are less effective since my local pharmacy started having routine prescriptions filled remotely and shipped to them. Wonder if it’s a a temperature in transit issue

Funny, no mention of late stage capitalism

I live in the States in a state that banned gender affirming care for minors.

One exchange I’ll never forget is a state senator saying “we have to ban these because we don’t know what the long term side effects might be”, to which the only queer senator we have responded “but we are well aware of the long term side effects of suicide”

I mean, yea. Of course it has become a haven for disinformation. That’s why he bought it.

I actually argued with a group of (cisgender, white, straight, middle-aged) men that I was gaming with at the time that there were a lot of black folks claiming that early orcs were based on racist black stereotypes. They said the black folks were “being too sensitive” and that the accusation was “absolutely ridiculous”. Like there’s not an issue with claiming that maybe the makers of D&D were a little racist. Like just make sure we’re not leaning into it now.

Yea, my bad

I mean, since Biden changed the meaning it “ceasefire” to mean “temporary pause”, then of course he would be ok. Gives the IDF a chance to reload.

Not saying it’s excusable, but I’m guessing he was exposed to a lot of Trump propaganda being in Russia and all

Looks like SOMEone didn’t pay their CIA dues this month

They’ll have leveled the entirety of Raffah, so now most/all of Gaza is almost uninhabitable. “I mean, we gonna bomb the rubble? Sure we’ll sign a cease fire. It never stopped us before”

I’ve worked on supposed “Agile” teams that operate this way, and worked on an Agile team that actually work ridiculously well. The biggest issue with Agile isn’t the philosophy, it’s when management starts using it to cut costs. This comment is what it turns into. Notice that every single one of these points lower cost. But one of the main assumptions of Agile is that the workers control the work, managers support the workers. The places I’ve been where Agile didn’t work it was because management was unwilling to buy into this basic assumption, then use Agile as a crutch for not giving the team what they needed to be successful.

The one successful team I was on that was Agile, the entire group of around 12 worked directly with the customer, and our manager’s role was to ask “what do you need”. It was hands down the best dev role I was ever in (before I became a teacher).

I would normally agree, but when it comes to Israel, all bets are off, even for The Atlantic.

Israel wouldn’t do that. They want to give the beachfront property to American politicians as a “gift that’s totally not a bribe”

They were definitely still biased. The difference is that the opinion was built into what they covered vs what they didn’t cover. ABC has always been a left-leaning network, CBS a right-leaning network, and NBC somewhere between. So while they might cover most big things very much the same, sometimes what they chose to cover or how much to cover it would reveal their leanings.

That being said, they were much more in-step than our news networks are now.

I coach a robotics team and we were sponsored by Elegoo (so grain of salt). They gave us a Neptune 4 that’s pretty incredible. It printed a flawless benchy in 38 minutes. It’s a bit picky and takes some finessing, but it’s a great printer. You can get the predecessor, the Neptune 3, for about 210USD. It’s highly rated by several sites for a beginner printer, and I would definitely recommend it.

What the actual country fried fuck? It’s the folks protesting the Gaza genocide shutting down “opposing views”? Was that before or after their pro-Israel presidents called the cops to arrest them?

This source is hot garbage. It’s a right-wing conspiracy theory rag

$360 for a set with that many pieces is about right. The math in our house is about $.10/piece

“They were all Hamas”

I mean, that’s most of the settlements in the Gaza Strip, so…
