I asked my pro-life mom if she thinks women should have the right to privacy in their medical decisions or if the government should be kept in the loop and have a veto stamp.
That’s the reality of banning abortions that most Republicans will hate. Banning abortions means the government needs access to your medical records and the government will make decisions on what medical procedures you can have. Not you and a doctor.
Some experienced programmers forget how difficult computers and programming can be for beginners. It’s obvious for us to look at the error and resolve it, but for most people it’s pretty arcane. Relevant XKCD
Unfortunately, I think this is also a right of passage of some sorts. If you want to continue programming you will encounter a problem that you can’t ask or find the answer on the internet and you will have to work through it yourself. I’ve had problems I’ve been stuck in for weeks or months. At least for me, it’s always been such a high when I finally solve these. :)
When you say mid-six figures do you mean ~$150k or ~$500k?
None of these are a cure. Clinical depression is a real thing and you should see a mental health professional. But here’s my list.
Most importantly. You don’t have to do all of it. Life is a marathon, not a sprint. If all you can manage today is drinking a glass of water, then start there. This random Internet stranger believes in you.
Also drugs.
My former career was in IT, I’m a developer now. I work with a bunch of tech savvy people, but I still have the ‘IT Support Aura’. I’ve lost count of how many times a coworker has a computer problem, asks for help, and then watches me fix it and they claim they tried the exact same thing and it didn’t work. I never really have an answer besides ‘computers fear me’
There’s a big difference between winning a rigged election, and losing an election but staying in power anyway.
Look, I could point you to the blogs and patch notes for Chromium and Firefox and you could read into it and make your own conclusions from it.
From my perspective as a solution architect that has worked for several mid to large size organizations, is that security is difficult to measure and constantly changing. When I evaluate what software to use I do it on the basis of how they’ve historically addressed security concerns, and where the organization that develops the software priorities lies. My opinion is that when it comes to security, Mozilla and Google are about the same when it comes to Firefox and Chromium.
I haven’t looked into Brave much, so I can’t comment there besides it’s another organization that you have to trust so it’s inherently more risky.
The article you linked is over 3 years old at this point. You can’t use that as the basis for your argument for software that’s likely had hundreds of patches since the time that article was published.
(me, an American) Well, forty isn’t that many.
You can install Windows on it and should be able to play those games.
They are obviously saying that their hardware is powerful enough to play all games; not that all games support their choice of OS.
We’re social animals with big brains. Other great apes, elephants, whales, even some birds like parrots and corvids mature slower.
We rely less on our instincts and more on what we learn from the previous generations, and that takes time.
Well, I know how I’m starting and ending all my emails now
There was actually a numberphile of this like 2 days ago. https://youtu.be/47qEMTMKRdA
“You are what you eat”. If someone only consumes fascist propaganda right-wing media, then they will become more fascist right-winged.
To OOP: You might not be able to turn off their TV. But you should share unbiased or left-leaning articles, shows, news, etc. And try to get them to “eat” a more balanced diet.
There are novels that don’t measure up to the writing of visual novels.
There are comics that don’t measure up to the art of visual novels.
There are video games that are less engaging than visual novels.
Broad generalizations like this are so useless. It’s okay that you play one or two visual novels and they weren’t for you. I don’t particularly like visual novels either, but to discredit an entire genre because of it is just ignorant. I’ve played some visual novels that were excellent and pushed the boundaries of video games. See Slay the Princess and Doki Doki Literature Club. I’m playing Date Everything right now, it’s not exactly innovative, but I’m having fun with it.
I’m not a geographicist, but this looks right to me.
Hormones can play a role as well. Anecdotally, my wife’s hair during pregnancy became fuller and less brittle. Duckduckgo “pregnancy hair”. A monthly cycle, being on hormonal birth control, etc. will likely have some effect. I definitely agree that genetics does play a bigger role, but claiming that gender/sex plays no role is definitely incorrect.
I like how OOP gets the name wrong also. Shane not Shawn. It really makes it feel extra condescending.
Well, I’m pretty sure the Earth is in orbit around a star [citation needed], so I would think solar panels on Earth would also be in orbit around a star.
Quick Google, at least for the US, but I imagine it’s similar for the rest of the world. There are about 1 million licensed medical doctors and about 100,000 veterinarians.
It makes sense, people go to the doctor a lot more often than animals.
I’m not sure how this plays into it, but doctors tend to be much more specialized and many specializations wouldn’t be useful in a zombie apocalypse, though their general knowledge would probably be valuable.
Rural doctors would probably do very well, though, a lot of them are going to have similar setups as vets.
