That is good life advice.

I hammered into my elderly parents that if they ever get a call/text from their "bank", "tax department", "insurance", or literally anything - ask for a case number and hang up. Then call the number listed on the official website.

Now they're telling everyone they know about it. Good on them.

That's… two posts

Three, actually. While I agree with you, it is still arguably the number one company that annoys people on that list ʘ‿ʘ

Some of it may be, but the fact that the LTS versions (20.04 & 22.04) are downloaded overwhelmingly more than the others seem to indicate it's more intentional.

Nothing much. What's up with you?

You may get a better answer if you follow the suggestion in the comment at the bottom of your source:

// - Ask our friendly community members if you need help: lemmy.world/c/perchance

The syntax is specific to Perchance, a website that 99% of the general public have never heard of.

(oversimplified) they are "interconnected" just like emails are interconnected. I can log into Gmail and send an email to someone else at Hotmail. But I can't actually use Gmail credentials to log into Hotmail.

In the 'verse, "Federation" means every instance (I'm on aussie.zone) holds a copy of every other instance (I can see your post without ever visiting lemm.ee). This reply I'm posting is held in my instance, and a copy is sent to yours (and the whole Federation will also hold a copy and be able to see my comment).

If lemm.ee shuts down tomorrow, this conversation we're having will remain to exist in the thousands of other instances that are federated with lemm.ee today.

I don't know where you are, but painter's tape (or masking tape) comes in all sorts of colours. Including white.

The way I normally do it is the following. Strip the sleeve further back than you need (say, an inch). Untwist the 8 cores and separate them.

Arrange them in the right order (the extra length makes this easy) Flatten, pack them together, and pinch with your thumb and forefinger near the base.

Without letting go of the pinch, use your free hand to cut them to the correct length. Now that you have them flat between your fingers in the right order, it should be pretty straightforward to slide them into the connector.

Here's the announcement from perthchat.org

Ah. So the article that - after mentioning all the other scary stuff like ebola and HIV - concluded with 10 paragraphs basically saying how sars-cov-2 is quite dissimilar to them? How most other coronavirus infections are short-lived?

Or, "Covid-19 long-haulers are probably not dealing with the virus for months on end. Rather, .. that the immune system is trying to repair the damage".

The one that ends with the quote that, for the majority of people, "It gets in, it gets out”?

The one that says nothing about the virus living dormant like shingles?

That's another claim begging for a source evidence, btw

I'm guessing you're receiving downvotes because that's such an extraordinary claim with no supporting evidence.

So I did a search and actually found this published journal article from July this year.

It did show both active viruses, and active immune responses in biopsied tongue cells of people with taste loss. Some even a year after infection. The activity is too small to be picked up by nasal swab PCR, but they're there.

But your claim of "you'll require medication to kill it completely" may not be entirely true. In all cases within the study, there was immune system activity in the tongue, and eventually the taste buds did recover.

I can't believe there's not more love for Seal in this thread.

Commonwealth maybe?

Edit: wiki references seem to indicate it's predominantly ANZ

she'll be right... @lemmy.nz

Checks out.

Also, "what you're doing is real shitty, but we can't really talk about human rights abuses without making ourselves look like hypocrites".

I went to a talk by Israeli & Palestinian reps from PCFF earlier this year in Melbourne. It was heartbreaking, but also encouraging to see people trying to peacefully mend bridges and spreading awareness. Naive, maybe, but it's good to know that some good came out of the atrocities.

This attack by Hamas (and the Israeli response) would've undone decades of their effort. I can't begin to imagine how devastating the latest events would be. It's a sad day for humanity.

Not Toyotas

My neighbour was freaking out when she saw in the local newspaper that burglaries in our town had increased by 100%

I pointed out that we had 2 burglaries this year, compared to the 1 last year...
