I would recommend looking for sources that scratch that learning itch independently of your doctors and other staff. Podcasts are a great option and can really deepen and broaden your knowledge without requiring lucky exposure to patients with a given issue.

One podcast family is the microbe.tv group, shows like This Week in Virology, Immune, and This Week in Paracitism.

I would also recommend This Podcast Will Kill You, this one is really fun and has very good deep dives into awesome medical topics.

Once you have your own educational material you can make your decision with no specific tie to your workplace for getting your education.

How did you go? Any luck?

This is heavily medicalised but yes, this is better than basically anyone from a conservative background could hope for. There is a lot of misinformation out there and it is easy to find an echo chamber that would support rejecting you, so keeping in line with his current sources is a good idea.

NTFS does not have the permissions structures Linux native filesystems have. All sorts of problems come from using NTFS for executable files. That said, exfat seems better in a bunch of ways, maybe try that?

Wikipedia has your back

So yes, they are still possible to train and use, are in active use (for example in photography for rafting), and there are RFC standards relating to internet over carrier pigeon. Also, they are actually favourable compared with ADSL so yeah, a legitimate possible option for some cases.

Woah, that is wild, I hope you did some bug reporting about that, for something to go so insanely wrong it would have to be a fairly bad bug but also hard to find. Cool trick though, “Check this out, Copy ate my Y key, I am without purpose!”

To clarify, those are the default keybindings, but you can change them to match your needs or expectations. I like the alt tilde for windows within a program switching, it works fairly well though I have not set it up on my current machine yet.

Yoghurt with berries can be a good option if the berries are soft, so stewing strawberries and pears can work well.

Gnocchi can be slightly overcooked and can be dimply pressed against the roof of the mouth, no chewing needed.

Protein shakes are awesome, add a little heavy cream and they are filling and tasty.

Congee (essentially thick rice soup) is great, it has very soft meat with no chewing needed and lots of flavour and texture depending on what you add.

Lots of French desserts are good like Crème Brulé, along with things like custard, mousse, and even sticky date pudding. The chewing is optional, the tongue is more than strong enough for these, and adding something like cream can help them smooth out and soften a bit.

Egg in various forms including egg drop soup, boiled egg mashed in a cup with butter, and added raw to rice while the rice is very hot can make for some easy but delicious options.

Nah, as an autistic person who works with many autistic people (I am a support worker), no. Autistic people are able to miss things, mistake social cues, and so on, but blaming autism for a Nazi salute is absolutely bullshit. Not to mention that he has done tonnes of other stuff which is in line with a Nazi salute and this is just the last in a long line of behaviours, and his family history etc, yeah, not autism, just Nazi shit.

What is a CHA score? I can’t find something that fits the initialism with any relevance, certainly not a CHADS score (stroke risk).

OK so I can definitely see why it would seem pointless or really narrow, but I think this would have actually been very helpful for me and people like me. I have dyspraxia, a coordination disability. Mine is specifically graphomotor, meaning the exact types of movements involved in writing. My handwriting was absolutely terrible, causing pain in my hands (I also had incomplete hand dominance, so yay, both hands sucked equally), inability to express in a written form, and difficulty with tasks like painting, drawing, sewing, and cooking. Over the years the most helpful things were gaining strength and switching to printing only, no running writing at all.

If this tool could help with increasing the feedback from my hands to my brain and also push my fingers through the shapes of letters I think I would have had some benefit. I think people who have had a stroke may also potentially benefit, though obviously it would need thorough testing.

Do you have an interest in the time of her childhood? Perhaps learning about her experience of how the world has changed? Most people find thinking and talking about the world they remember to be enjoyable and she may have interesting and unique perspectives on things. This can lead to learning about bigotry though, so be cautious, but learning about how the world has changed from her perspective could be very interesting.

The 1960s were a time of massive cultural change and technological advancement, and the 70s were also really cool from a change perspective. Learning how she did things like washing clothes, buying food, learning about something she was interested in, and so on can be really fun.

Once you have spent a little time chatting and maybe having a tea or coffee it can be a regular little social thing you do, and doing the snow shoveling is much easier to accept from someone you know than from a stranger. It would also make it feel safer knowing who you are rather than just some random younger guy.

What do you do with a faulty RAID drive? Early in the morning!

I disagree. The current setup is like having the real estate have a key and you have a swipe card. The swipe card let’s you into parts of the house but you don’t have access to the basement or electrical box. If you wanted access to those you could ask but the real estate basically says no unless they really messed up, and even then they send a tradesperson to do the work and give them the key. If that tradespersons loses the key or gives it to someone else the real estate shrugs and says “What do you want us to do about it? Security is hard.”

They also have a contract for all the furniture, most of which is bolted down, so you can’t even rearrange your house, let alone install a hand rail in the bathroom for your disabled brother who needs support getting in and out. You also can’t install anything on the walls like a TV or a picture frame, and attempting to do so would lead to the possibility of piercing a pipe or cutting a wire in the wall because you don’t have schematics.

You can’t put a different OS on, you can’t modify the one you have, and breaking any of the protections on software is a violation of the DMCA, so you are a renter. You rent the device, they control the features, they decide what parts are available to the public (usually none), they decide when it will be end of life, and they make it very technically difficult to repair anything by using parts pairing. If they sold the device as a subscription with hardware upgrades included, repairs included, ongoing support included, then maybe locking it down would be OK, but otherwise no, it is unreasonable and I don’t think we really own our devices in a meaningful sense.

This is simply incorrect. Implementing a lock on a bootloader is not dissimilar to a lock on your house. A person breaking in doesn’t care that they are breaking the law, they just need to find the how of breaking in. If I as a consumer want to enter my house or give a copy of my key to someone else as a backup I should be able to do so. If I want to leave my door unlocked I should have that right however foolhardy it is. And when it comes to locking the bootloader of a computer most people won’t notice it in general use but that isn’t the point. It is about the edge cases, the end of life for the device, the lack of security updates.

They appear black because they do not rreflect light but rather than absorb photons as heat they absorb them as electricity. This conversion means they do not get hot like a painted black surface does. In fact, solar panels are heat sensitive and become inefficient if too hot, so some have cooling on the back side or even water cooling.

And a much smaller footprint. It could even be binary data for tweaking your algorithmic profile, say the name of a branded product or in the case of a product with few options just the type of item. Audio runs in the megabytes per minute, transcripts in the kilobytes, but reducing to a conclusion of interest in a single specific item is really very small, hard to notice tbh.

Orgzly is my favourite note app. I use that and sync to a folder which I can then sync with Syncthing to my desktop and have versioning there.

Yep, my wife. Smoked since childhood, tried many times to quit, finally managed using a vape. I started with a strong enough mix to match the daily nicotine intake, we left it like that for almost a year, then I started lowering it by 10% every month. Once we got to 20% is started dropping by 5% and then just 1% from 5% down. That said, the process being so gradual made it smooth and less disruptive.

I’m keen tbh, Geralt is a great character but we have had 3 games to explore the world from that perspective. Just like in Witcher 3 where you had some experiences from Ciri’s perspective we could have some Geralt moments, but the world being experienced mainly from the perspective of Ciri would be cool.
