That’s the real danger in my opinion. Trump is probably a malignant narcissist. Everything he does, he does for himself and his very thin skinned ego. This is sort of balanced out but he fact that he’s a moron and is easily manipulated. But, there are people right on his coat tails who are straight up malevolent and do things because they enjoy watching others suffer.
As bad as Trump is, it may get much worse after he’s gone and leaves a crater sized power vacuum in the GOP.
“Look at how much we’re winning! So much winning!” Frantically screams country currently seeking assistance from North Korea for a “three day special military operation” which is now in its third year.
Somewhere in the North Korean constitution
“South Korea = Hostile State Hostile State”
^Look everybody! They’ve redefined South Korea as a “hostile state”!
Oh wait, nobody cares.
Support your local newspaper. Especially if they value quality journalism over quantity.
Completely agree. It’s honestly shameful that a nation of our wealth and status is willing to accept one of the worst healthcare systems in the developed world. You need not look further than rural America to see that a big chunk of the “system” is on the verge of collapse.
I am also incensed that so many people seem to not have insurance. One thing I can say, is that I have never had a problem paying for generic or name brand, because my insurance covers it.
Guilty as charged. Currently at a career crossroads and don’t have insurance. Have to pharmacy shop a lot depending on who has the best price with a Good Rx coupon.
My Psychiatrist that I’ve been seeing for years now is retiring at the end of the year. Good ones are very hard to find and I’m not looking forward to it.
The whole process is a joke in the US as well. Since stimulants are a controlled substance, you have to have a new prescription every month AND you have to wait exactly 30 days to fill it at which point every pharmacy in town will jerk you around for a couple days until you finally find one that:
A.) Actually has your medication. Not says they have it on the phone and then “Oppsie! We lied. We don’t actually have it. We do have the name brand that’s 3 times as expensive.”
B.) Will actually fill it instead of telling you they’ll fill it only to backpedal when you go to pick it up because of some bullshit policy.
C.) Will fill it without whining at you, “cAn YoU pLeAsE sEnD yOuR OtHeR pReScRiPtIoNs hErE toO sO wErE FiLlInG mOrE tHaN jUsT yOuR StImUlAnTs??”
Apparently we somehow still have a shortage of Vyvanse (and the generic)?
Also, Fuck CVS in particular. How they manage to run a pharmacy worse than Walmart and still stay in business is beyond me.
PSA
If you have been sexually assaulted or abused by someone, please tell somebody. Preferably the police, but if not them then tell someone else that you trust. I know this is a huge ask. I know you want to completely erase it from your memory. I know that doing this means unleashing a shit storm that you can never undo. I know it’s going to dredge up all kinds of pain. I know it might permanently reshape your life. I know it’s going to be incredibly hard. It’s probably going to take courage that you’re not even sure you have.
The reason I’m asking you to do this is because there’s a really good chance that the person who did this to you has done it before or will do it again. YOU may be the only thing standing between the perpetrator and their next victim. The fact that it happened to you is terrible and I’m so sorry for that. But you have the power to help make sure what happened to you doesn’t happen to anyone else. So please tell someone because you might very well be the hero, that you needed, for someone else. There are few things in life more honorable than that.
The benefit of splitting services between VM’s is the same as it always has been: I can break one service without breaking ALL of them. Containers are an improvement over native installs but they do not solve this problem completely.
Not nearly good enough to make me give up Quicken but it is nice to see some more self hosted options popping up.
You know, I would bet there’s tens of thousands of Russians that would be interested in having children if they didn’t all have a case of unnecessary deadness. If only something could have been done to avoid that.
If you’re not spending half your day testing vacuum tubes one at a time, are you even a real engineer?
I know I’ve got a punch card sorter around here somewhere.
President Convict also had their top general assassinated which did not exactly help diplomatic relations.
Tools. Usually on top of a step ladder. It happens when I’m working on a project and I have to get down for some reason. I think, “I’ll just leave this [hammer, screwdriver, drill, etc.] up here for a second. I’ll totally remember it’s there.”
To the surprise of no one here, I do not remember. Until I go to move the ladder and get clobbered with said tool. I’ve gotten a lot better at just taking everything down with me. 🤷♂️
I think there were some legitimate concerns about the potential nuclear threat as well as uncertainty regarding Russia’s actual capabilities.
Now we’ve seen that Russia’s claims don’t hold any more water than a strainer, the west should be more aggressive with its assistance. The Ukrainians have already demonstrated that they are not just going to take it laying down and they’re the only reason Russia hasn’t moved on to invading other former Soviet states. I think we owe them all assistance we can give.
Putler is [most likely] a sociopath. He’s has no morals but he’s not clinically insane. The only thing using nukes would guarantee for him is his own death, which he must certainly be aware of.
…if Russia even has any functioning nukes.
They couldn’t even keep track of the reactors from the nuclear powered lighthouses in Siberia.
if Russia nuked itself on its own territory.
The fact that it’s Russia substantially increases this possibility.
Horsepower is a very rough “average” of work output over a given period of time. It doesn’t really account for spikes in load. For that we’ll have have to consider the torque. So the real question is, how many foot/pounds or newton/meters does OP need to handle 10 gigs of throughput?
