  • A skeptic will seek more information. A cynic will just shit on it first and maybe (probably not) ask questions later.

  • I posted this in a different thread a while back. Here are some primary news sources:

    • New York Times (NYT)
    • Reuters
    • Associated Press (AP)
    • BBC News
    • The Guardian
    • Al Jazeera
    • Bloomberg
    • The Washington Post
    • CNN
    • Deutsche Welle (DW)
  • Permanently Deleted

  • Focus on the lost revenue for small businesses owners. That's all these shitfuck Republicans care about.

  • I prefer lemmys to lemmings, but I think we got out voted.

  • But did you know, that when it snows, my eyes become large and the light that you shine can't be seen?

    Sorry, couldn't resist. I like him, too.

  • Sorry to hear this.

    An internet forum like Lemmy is not the best place for medical advice. Most diseases can vary significantly from person to person. Lupus comes in multiple forms. The musician Seal has a form of lupus, and he's 61. Autoimmune disorders are very complicated, because the immune system is very complicated.

    Your doctor should be able to give you guidance and "what to expect" type information. If there is a patient portal or email you can use, be proactive and reach out to your doctor with your questions. If you're in the USA, patients very much have to actively navigate this stuff, and advocate for themselves. Your doctor might give you a pamphlet or booklet. Read it.

  • I've never put much stock in the "we are living in a simulation" but stories like this make me wonder if one of the sim developer's kids is in here doing stuff.

  • "I want a DQ Blizzard!"

    "We have ice cream at home."

    "But home is a bunch of shipping containers welded together."

    "Correct. And it's wonderful."

  • Let us know if you ever find a good solution. Stuff in my pants pockets annoys me, too.

  • Too many variables. There's two types of test, antigen and PCR. The chemical reactions in both can be impacted by ambient temperature and humidity, light exposure, air pressure (altitude), air quality (contaminants) and so on. At-home testing is far from lab conditions. False positives and false negatives are possible. I wouldn't put any stock in the timing.

  • What the heck. This rewrites a chunk of my childhood.

  • One of my friends wears a lightweight (mostly mesh) cargo vest thing that looks good on him. But he's one of those assholes who looks good in anything. I would look like a doofus wearing it. Anyway, it has multiple pockets on the front.

  • No one will suspect a spiral staircase under the manhole cover!

  • Primary news sources. Here are some others.

    • Reuters
    • Associated Press (AP)
    • BBC News
    • The Guardian
    • Al Jazeera
    • Bloomberg
    • The Washington Post
    • CNN

  • In an ideal situation you want both assets and income in your retirement. 401k is one type of asset. Pension is one type of income. It's certainly possible to plan for retirement with just assets or just income, but having both is better.

  • I need to do this to my office. I wonder if that wall over there is load bearing. Hmmmm.

  • I'm guessing the content offering algorithms are looking at your IP, browser profile, etc. and throwing stuff at you that it assumes you and "people in your area" want to see. Even with brand new accounts, they always try to figure this stuff out. It often gets it wrong, but that never stops them from trying.

  • I haven't seen the numbers. I have read that they do this for a few evil reasons.

    • It makes their business look like it's thriving.
    • They can gather intel on who's job hunting.
    • They can use job application tasks to get free work out of candidates.
