dangwhy

got it. I wasn't sure what 'juked it' meant in the sentence, looks like its sports related word. I thought it was a typo for 'junked' .

Just say you won’t go to US urban environments. We get it.

I grew up in pilsen which was gang controlled 'no go zone' until it got gentrified over last 1-2 decades on the east side. We knew which gangs controlled which areas, we are only a few blocks away from El Chapo's 'The Pilsen twins' family home ( never saw them though) . People who live here and raise families here know where 'no go zones' are and stay away from. If you visit any local here for a few you will get a lecture about which areas are 'no go' gang controlled zones ( south of cermak and west of western).

Ofcouse, you can 'go' to gentrified restaurants and coffee shops on 18th st/Thalia hall and get 'the experience' for outsiders and suburbanites. Doesn't mean there aren't no go zones in pilsen.

It frustrating to me that people who chose live in white segregated suburbs ( 'for aesthetic reasons', code for not too many non whites ) and send their kids to segregated schools are lecturing us what words to use and what to call ourselves. I personally detest these white ppl more than Tucker Carlson types. Yes they are 'no go zones' and govt/community should fix it, calling them 'problematic areas' instead isn't a fix.

I didn't invoke any 'rhetoric'. you link shows which areas are no go zones. https://abc7chicago.com/feature/tracking-crime-and-safety-in...

By that argument River North[0] is a no go zone.

you posted one solitary example. Argument isn't 'one shooting' makes no-go zone. Try to finding other examples and you'll see.

yea for sure if you are using wikipedia definition ( but you mentioned something about cyclists and stray bullets) . No city or town in USA qualifies that definition. We use 'don't take your kids to the park there' definition in our neighborhood ( maybe what you are referring to as 'problematic') . I wouldn't take my kids to austin parks where stray bullets are flying around. Maybe we are more aware of this stuff than ppl in burbs because our neighborhood in pilsen is not completely safe even now. We have to be extra caution going out with kids . https://blockclubchicago.org/2022/02/15/facing-spike-in-murd...

Woman, 40, hit by stray bullet while driving in Austin ( https://chicago.suntimes.com/2017/2/7/18389033/woman-40-hit-... )

13-year-old boy hit by stray bullet in South Austin, hospitalized (https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/13-year-old-boy-critically...)

pretty sure this stuff never happened in oak park where you live for safety of your family.

'Its not no a go zone , its a problematic area' is not a very useful distinction for me.

ok yea there are no 'no go zones' in USA per wikipedia.

its not "argument" though, i don't see what 'wealthiest suburbs' have to do with shootings in austin. Yes suburbs including the one you live in are safer. Not sure what that has to do with anything. CabriniGreen used to be next to rivernorth.

I don't know if you live in Chicagoland or not

I've lived in pilsen for last 25 years and grew up here. I don't live in the burbs. I know what 'no go zones' mean, the block i grew up on in west pilsen used to be one ( but not anymore) . I now live on the edge of 'no go zone' in pilsen ( east of western ) . My wife works for charter school in englewood where i do weekly drop off and pickup. Englewood is a 'no go' zone for us, meaning we won't go there if we have no business being there, we never make a stop in that neighborhood ( like the cyclists you mention) .

you choose live white majority suburb with double the median income but not in austin. That revealed preference proves that Austin was a 'no go' zone for you? Going to coffeshop once in a while doesn't really count, imo.

is absolutely not a "no-go zone". Words mean things.

You said austin is not a no go zone, can you give me an example of an area considered no go zone. Perhaps that will clarify.

Notably, in the ~20 years I've lived here, I haven't heard a single story about any of those people being shot.

I just gave you two examples from last 2 months of ppl getting shot by stray bullets. What does you personally hearing about cyclists have to do with anything? This type of statement is really hard to respond to.

I have no idea why someone would put the time required into moderating a large sub for no money just for Reddit’s benefit

feeling of power and purpose?

Putting yourself in a position where you're close to indispensable gets you the title.

If you are indispensable at maintaining convoluted stored proceduces with business rules baked into them . Most likely you won't get the next level position which would need company to find somoneelse.

Zuckerberg tanked the stock price with VR/Metaverse and then juked it by firing a chunk of the company.

meta stock today is at $280.

Austin is not a "no go zone".

maybe your definition is different.

From last few weeks,

Man, 38, shot in the face in Austin. The 38-year-old was walking on the sidewalk when someone started shooting around 10:20 p.m. in the 4900 block of West Hubbard Street, according to police.

First and second sentences need to swapped.

conservative commentators

you know there are actual no go zones like austin area in chicago. Why are you hiding behind 'conservative commentators' as a cover for your statement.

My town

i think GP is talking about big cities. My library ( heart of chicago) is def fits the description.

streetview : https://www.google.com/local/place/fid/0x880e2d00ee6fbd09:0x...

This is outside my libary from st view: https://imgur.com/a/CE51r2v

There is usually a huge congregation of homeless there by afternoon. And its even worse inside the library. You get hit with stench as soon as you open the library door. Sucks because libarians have exceptional knowledge that any book lover would enjoy talking to.

You're describing a local problem.

Unless you are suggesting middle class can only exist in the burbs and small towns.

I 've lived in pilsen chicago for over 25 yrs, this is my home. Hate to relocate in next few yrs because now i have newborn.

better leverage than a title when it comes to negotiate a raise

most companies have pay bands based on the titles. Always chase the title.

Is there a way to know who might be more susceptible to weakening of heart. Or is it just random bad luck with no known reason?

This is amazing. I tried coffeshop with Spanish and worked great. I wouldnt mind paying subscriptions for this like i do for duolingo. Congrats!

That seems like such a narrow subset.

overweight/obesity has (almost) no effect.

do you have any reference to this by any chance? I want to search for this but wasn't sure what ' like -for-like' means in this context.

Not sure why you’d ask that given my anecdote

Sorry didn't mean to offend. I have prediabtes and dr told me that it could lower my immunity. That was his response when i asked him if there is anything i could do to stop getting sick.

No one in my family is overweight or has any sort of health issues

same here. I am not obese or have any visible health issues but have high fasting glucose and prediabetes a1c. Even prediabetes can impair the immune system.

This doesn't contradict your anecdote though. Its totally possible that you and your friends are getting more sick now given increased exposure and high rates of prediabetes in the country ( 41% of men , 1/3 overall population)

my father is in india where they've been giving lu177 ( and others) before chemo for quite a while ( other countries being germany and australia ) . Forums are awash with 'success stories' . There are many clinical trials currently in US and canada. Some have published results showing 'non inferiority' in small sample sizes but most are in progress

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8627907/

https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04647526 this one was supposed to publish some preliminary results in q1 2023 but i don't see any updates :/

If you don't mind me asking, are you overweight and/or sedentary or prediabetic ( fasting > 100) ?

My doctor told me that being metabolically unhealthy weakens immune system and excersing and eating healthy will protect from frequent infections.

I don't know what to make of this.

I think your comment might have been downvoted for the way question was asked.

My father is in this situation with prostate cancer. First line therapies have stopped working and now its on to chemo. I am hoping chemo won't damage him too much.

There are also radioligand therapies like lutetium 177 but they haven't been sequenced on chemo naive patients yet. So soc is chemo first.

Things change daily in both fields-

This is not true ?

A 50 year old non-management programmer? Look forward to having 23 year olds asking if you know what an array is for the rest of your work life.

Fuck. That made anxious. I am close to that age.

Also, my middle manager friends are having much harder time finding a job than programmer types. Don't know if its just them or if its a trend.

i had the same question. I would guess no otherwise those devices would be flying off shelves like crazy.

I think you are mistaken, though I do not know how.

see my comment here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36172283

Sorry my original number was slightly off.

2.76 border crossings in 2022 . I know there might be dups in this number but there are also crossings that are unaccounted for. There are also 1 million visa overstays/yr. This is on top of 1 million legal immigrants.

Rough math is 3 million just for refugees ( ppl who cross the border apply for refugee status). All this not event accounting for hundreds thousands of work visas, millions of ppl living in usa in legal immigration queues, birthright tourism ect ect.

But I think no one really has any idea what the actual number is.

Why are all the lofty examples from countries that are hostile to refugees/immigrants like Scandinavian countries.

Would love to hear examples of great public welfare/healthcare programs from countries that accepts 6 million refugees / year like USA. In my head these are two opposing goals but curious to know if there are counterexamples.

the SAT favors rich applicants who can afford to pay for (and spend time on) test prep.

Its not just rich, it favors boys across all economic classes. I think one of the ideas was that de-prioritizing SAT/ACT will get more women into stem.

All the names in the linked papers are Indian ( and Chinese) . My boy is half indian and we are thinking of moving to school dist with 90% indian Americans. I have this gnawing feeling that he might face brutal pressure to compete,strive and could make him a less happy child. I don't know what to make of it.
