2% chance of death? A quick google shows it to be around 0.16%, and the deaths seem to be allocated to people who are older or just have other comorbities. I think the scientists in retrospect just didnt want hospitals to get full honestly, since they dont have the capacity for it as it is — atleast here in Canada.
I am particularly needy when it comes to the taskbar. I installed a few mods:
* Windhawk - can tweak taskbar with extensions similiar to gnome tweaks imo (free)
* DisplayFusion - qol for multi monitor setups (paid)
I would give it a try if these two applications help you, honestly there's just so many settings to explore -- but afaik static width was something I needed and got done through Windhawk.
I had the same realization when seeing some one open up the outlook inbox and seeing a huge advert banner on the right of their screen. I had been so accustomed to using an ad blocker I realized the average person is bombarded with so much attention theft.
Now that people don't care about Anti DDoS - this happens.
Could I prod why that is? I'm dealing with a ovh server and using their anti-ddos detection for an issue currently so this topic I'd like to learn about.
Autocorrect not getting simple character substitutions is beyond frustrating.
A running txt file for each project/work capsule has been wonders. Then common txt files for anything you learned or, things you need to learn, notes/todos, etc.
I think I would be half as productive as I'd like without this.
I always followed proper form and didn't ego lift, even though my deadlifts were the highest weight.
I think on retrospect deadlifts may have been my issue to, I did the deadlifts that day and later remember going to pickup something off the ground and getting the issue. Not sure if the deadlift was the cause, but I always thought my muscles were sore/tired and lax, thus when I went to lift the thing my lower back stability was compromised.
I'll try Romanian deadlifts and those other exercises, thanks for that suggestion.
McKenzie stretched helped me rehab a pulled muscle in my lower back (originally thought it was a disc).
Deadlifts also helped strengthen lower back muscles. Tight hamstrings from sitting on the computer all the time also didn't help. I'll try dead hangs.
I just was mainly motivated in replying to your accusation that the original poster couldn't read -- I feel like that claim is pretty disingenuous from the get-go and if I'm being accused of it, well, I'm in good company.
I don't even know what to reply to here, but I'm in general agreeance with most of what you wrote. I just don't agree users type "vim" alone their first time, I'd wager it's following some guide/tutorial online that already has 'vim filename.txt' snuck in there. The fact that people get stuck in vim feels like something intentional to weed out people, otherwise it's a funny problem people run into on other programs like ftp, ssh, screen, even the python interactive shell. There's no unified lexicon on cli tooling, except maybe the gnu clis. It makes you appreciate good GUIs.
The real big brain approach here is to divorce the idea of vim from the command line editor and use it as a plugin in an IDE. Best of both worlds.
Compare this to Vim where, if it's the first time you're opening it,
If you open vim with a file, like you do with all file editors, there's no such examples. It's also at the bottom of auth/credit/contribution fluff in your example, which people would be expected to ignore.
Because you can't read
I'm not arguing for more hand holding here, but saying the poster can't read is ironic. Reading is one part, comprehending is the other.
Thanks for sharing, I am also a Canadian. I'll read and digest (no pun intended) what you wrote.
You are spending a fraction of $350/mo on food? I'm actually interested in learning more...
Some of the recent Beelink ones have soldered ram though.
Enduring boredom is the antithesis of mindless doomscrolling.
Another thing I am curious about is time of day too -- I was told vitamin D/Multivitamins were better taken in the morning with food.
Is not supporting TPM an issue in terms of some app compability though? I was investigating whether to upgrade an old computer from windows 10 to 11 and that was said somewhere online. I don't know if its true or fearmongering.
People seem to use VPNs to avoid IP based issues, like Netflix or ip bans/associations, not sure anyone would use it for actual privacy -- at best its obsfucation.
what VPN companies?
The urls are logged usually and also like the other commentator pointed out can be stored in browser history/bookmarked.
I've seen just a general recommendation to avoid urlencoding parameters -- I guess that's why?
All audiobooks are like this for me. I tried it for lectures but if I'm taking handwritten notes, I can't keep up my writing.
I wonder if there is negative side effects of this though, do you notice when interacting with people who speak slower require a greater deal of patience?
I guess because commercial media drives on advertising dollars that ultimately are meant to drive consumerism?
I think minimalism/no buy movements are big though.
It's the straw that breaks the camel's back I think for most people.
Constant nagging by the operating system for Windows products (I have enabled onedrive personally, but for some reason it installed two file explorer quick access links, and the workarounds online fail to persist reboots) -- hijacking file extensions, hijacking program aliases (I just had to remove a windows store alias in my env variables for "python" despite having it already installed months prior), the constant cat and mouse to have local account-only possible, inability to remove edge/stop being pestered about it, and now recall (which is not truely opt-in since it gets installed whether you want it or not).
And "modern" TVs have motion smoothing which make so many things look so synthetic and dizzying.
Creatine does tend to get added to pre-workouts chocked full with caffeine, but stimulant free pre-workouts exist and you can always buy it in bulk seperately either in pill or powdered form.
The currency exchange rate put a dent in that as well.
In 2017, Apple put out a new iPhone, and in the same week, made my 1 year old iPhone unusable on purpose overnight to make me buy a new one.
How was it made unusable?
My S23 Ultra got a software update that removed features and now I can't use YouTube. I can't just not install updates, because it will nag me constantly and leave a permanent notification at all times that I cannot remove.
What features did it remove?
This reminds me of the old Norm Macdonald [1] Letterman joke.
I love this genre of games, I use to play the Ricochet games (from Reflexive Entertainment) as a kid, a lot of good memories.
I live in Vancouver BC, we have a power outage every 1-2 years due to high winds or fallen power poles. I noticed some devices on my home network whilst connected to power have power quality issues too, no doubt a UPS would help here.
Same except skipping AdGuard.
Having the DNS live on a pi sounded like fun for me but it gave me stress due to power outages. There is safety in knowing you aren't adding a point of failure that only you know how to solve.
I also had issues with adding backup DNS, since a backup DNS would be queried if the pihole blocked the DNS query -- so I would have to maintain two seperate blocklists, one local and one offsite.
