Firing a Mach 4 missile with 1,300 lbs of warhead at civilians is, in fact, unrestrained bloodlust. They ceased fire because it would be wasteful to fire again.

That's like saying, "The cop didn't dump a second magazine into the man who didn't respond to the cop's commands. He showed restraint! The guy is still breathing, he's just immobilized!"

You're not trying to avoid civilian casualties if you fire on civilians.

Non-profits need revenue, true. But many non-profit hospitals are not acting like nonprofits. Here's a NYT opinion piece about it

That's true, but don't let yourself become extremely dehydrated. My sister-in-law got norovirus last year. She was delirious, confused, and exhausted from lack of sleep and water since she couldn't keep anything down. She had to be dragged to the hospital by my mother-in-law. She was admitted, given lots of fluids, and stayed a day or two until she stabilized.

DNA

assume a new identity?

I don't think a new identity will be much help with your genetic information floating around...

Check out the FDA's drug shortage website for Vyvanse. The only version that's not in shortage is the name brand version. So forget about getting generic (I just spent $300 on name brand because my insurance doesn't cover it!) Ask specifically for the name brand if they're out of stock of the generic.

As far as I've been able to figure out, there are only a few pharmacy suppliers out there. Different pharmacies can use the same suppliers, and will therefore have the same supply issues.

I definitely agree it's nonsensical, but it makes a little bit more sense than that. Consensual sex being filmed is free speech as long as it's not "obscene" (whatever that fucking means).

Still stupid tho.

Who needs "AI" when the simple algorithm they already use works perfectly well?

    
while 1==1:
    deny_coverage = True

  

Logseq has tags. Logseq does store data in markdown files. There's one file for each page.

I haven't tried Obsidian, but I use Logseq all the time. What do you think is holding Logseq back? I'm just curious.

I know for me the mobile app lacks some polish and it lacks plugins, which is annoying.

I must've gotten leftovers or something because the 2 times I've been dragged to that establishment I've found the food to be severely overrated.

Chil-Fil-A is a Y'all Queda owned restaurant that serves dry, mediocre chicken sandwiched between crappy bread.

Their only notable contribution is managing to destroy traffic for blocks around their stupid restaurants.

When cleaning your glasses, wipe from the temples towards the nose. That way you're not spreading any nose grease you missed across your lenses.

Hell yeah. Though, I do get strange looks when I'm giving a thumbs up or down to an inanimate object...

Thanks for the early morning laugh!

Well, since the "U" in UBI stands for "universal", and since the group of people who received this money were selected because they were very poor, then this is not a UBI experiment. This is just a welfare program.

The trade name of Naloxone is Narcan, for those wondering.

On Russia's invasion of Ukraine, West said it's "a criminal invasion, provoked by the expansion of NATO"

Fuck off, it's provoked entirely by Putin being a shithead. The invasion proves the worth of NATO. Coincidentally , NATO is something West wants to get rid of.

His other positions are fine, but I'd prefer a president who's not gargling Putin's balls.

The lidar removal really pissed me off. At best, a Tesla can "see" as well as the human driver. It seems to me that half of the point of using a computer to drive a vehicle should be that it can easily access sensors that us meat bags don't have access to.

Plus the stupid central instrument cluster in Model 3s and Model Ys is beyond idiotic.
