That’s nice to hear

I have a beetle and a spider in front of me. Which one should I squish? It’s all on you!!!

the crochet(?) veggies are adorable

okay, this is really cool. Love when people make interactive stuff like this to help us grasp concepts

Based on scanning wiki and a couple articles and seeing nothing about construction quality aside from unfinished projects, definitely not an authority

It looks to me like there are a fair amount of finished homes with fine construction that are vacant due to this whole thing. Many weren’t completed but many were.

Oh I see, didn’t realize the construction quality was terrible:( So it was a sham the whole time? I thought they just didn’t think through the locations which made the housing useless (no work within reasonable commute).

They should start a couple utopian city experiments in those ghost suburbs they built way outside cities. Offer housing and a vision and put some academics in charge so we can learn something.

That’s a great distinction between software to support a product or workplace function vs software being sold to consumers or whose main intent is to advertise to and/or data mine consumers like my nextdoor example.

Yeah I’m kind of wondering if companies tend to outsource the more negative stuff like making privacy settings reset every month (0_o nextdoor) to somewhere geographically distant from HQ so it’s less personal/hard on morale, but I know next to nothing about the industry.

Hopefully it’s obvious that I’m referring to private/public sector developers who might see this, not people working on developing federated programs:)

That’s neat, I remember reading about that lady who won the Nobel for a Malaria drug made out of wormwood they discovered after combing ancient healer books awhile back.

They say things are caused by inflammation all the time though, is that a euphemism?

Was bloodletting supposed to help with inflammation? I thought it was something about draining out the red or blue essences or something

Agreed, this is the real issue “Wyden suggested that the intelligence community might be helping data brokers violate an FTC order requiring that Americans are provided “clear and conspicuous” disclosures and give informed consent before their data can be sold to third parties. In the seven years that Wyden has been investigating data brokers, he said that he has not been made “aware of any company that provides such a warning to users before collecting their data.””

Inflammation inflammation inflammation everything is inflammation let’s just put all our research towards inflammation since it seems to be the root cause of everything

People assume this is the first thing I’ve tried but this is over three appointments across multiple months in combo with several other medications (including antibiotic drops which didn’t seem to do anything). Besides sudafed for managing symptoms, it’s the first thing that has made a noticeable difference (in only three days!). I would have been better off with the homeopath they think I went to!

Are you into bars at all? Finding a bar that already had regulars who are fun group is a pleasant way to make friends imo and you’ll meet people naturally once you know some people. All you have to do is scope out which one feels comfortable and visit at the same time each week. Obviously watch out for raging alcoholics, but lots of folks are healthy(ish) and just there for companionship.

For sure, I don’t think the Dr. would risk their degree bullshitting, was just curious if the fizzing was normal and didn’t want to pay $15 to ask them!

they got an MD at Loyola in chicago and work at/for Kaiser as a regular family Dr.— I specifically picked someone younger cause I figured they would be more up on the science straight out of med school but idk people seem very worked up
