Pinebook Pro?

$47,900 for a duplex in the bad part of town.

Deep pockets and clips!

Remember the time when Millennials spent all their money on avocado toast and then killed the napkin industry?

These sorts of puff pieces are all just there to fill up space/content.

Depression is a symptom. Major depressive disorder is a disease.

There’s your problem right there.

• Wayland is the new standard and X11 is the old standard. NVIDIA support is getting better. The advantages are mainly under the hood, the most relevant for most users is in security and compatibility with newer hardware. If your distro comes with Wayland, use it. If it doesn’t, then don’t worry about it.
• Bloat’s subjective and mostly a matter of taste. Unless you’re trying to squeeze every bit of performance out of a 10 year old potato, the bloatiness of your default desktop install will not meaningfully impact your performance. Even the most bloated linux install runs lighter than Windows 10.
• Keep up to date, especially security updates. Don’t work in root unless you have to, don’t use sudo if you don’t need it, and configure permissions properly rather than 777ing everything. Be careful adding package repositories: don’t add from other distros or other versions of your distro as that can screw up dependencies. Check your package manager or flatpak before resorting downloading random files and trying to install them manually.
• Yes: linux subreddits/communities, Fedora’s own documentation and forums
• How easy it is to make a mistake that’s very hard to fix. Also, understanding what “everything is a file,” the filesystem in general, and what a desktop environment even is.

We’re actually trained not to just use what the roomer wrote. The reason is that what the receptionist writes and roomer writes can be inaccurate, and inaccuracies can multiply each time they’re transcribed.

For example, the call center might write “pain in testicle,” and then the roomer might write “lump in left testicle for 2 weeks” and then the patient tells me the lump has been in the right testicle for 3-4 weeks. If we just all copied the original note, we might be working with the wrong symptoms or wrong location. And asking questions assuming the notes are 100% accurate can lead a patient into giving us inaccurate answers, which is a much lower risk if we ask open-ended questions and let you fill them in. We do read the roomer’s notes, but our documentation is much better if we are getting the information directly from you rather than playing telephone.

As for cutting people off, I can’t speak for your individual doctors, other than to say there is a certain personality type who will answer every question (even yes/no questions) with a 1-2 minute meandering answer. And if we have 20 questions to get through, we simply can’t ask every patient for the rest of the day to wait an extra 20-40 minutes just to avoid cutting people off. If your doctor is doing that even when you’re giving a 1 sentence answer, though, you may need to look for a new one.

Alfred wasn’t one of his trainers. Batman had claimed to have as many as 6 mentors, including Ducard and Ra’s Al Ghul, and Alfred is not on the list.

Alfred, probably.

Not true, if you take all the shots of her during the game, splice them together in Star Wars machete order (starting with the fourth shot, then the 5th, then the second, adding in The Clone Wars, and so on) and play them back at 1.35927x speed, you can definitely see her mouth something that looks like “Vote Joe Biden.”

If you can’t see it, try reversing the feed at 0.83461x speed while standing on your head instead.

Yes, barely. Luckily, the refs gave the Chiefs 10 bonus points for just having her there, which really helped tip the scales.

Corporate tax rate is 21%, so by subtracting $80 million from their income they get a $16.8 million discount.

I’ve never wondered if I’m dreaming while awake. So I’ve conditioned myself that if I’m wondering whether I’m in a dream, I’m in a dream.

Makes it easy to lucid dream.

But he isn’t, really. He just comes up with elaborate plans that magically predict the future because the writers wrote it that way. The character himself seems to have an average level of intelligence.

Except what we get with the ancient records regarding willow bark were just what we’d expect with folk medicine: anecdotal claims that it treats a wide range of ailments without any proposed mechanism of action.

It wasn’t until willow extract was actually made into a pharmaceutical that it became anywhere near useful. That willow tea you’re imagining ancient people drank didn’t actually exist and if it did, they were not getting enough salicylic acid from it to equal even a single aspirin.

In short, aspirin follows the above rule: alternative medicine was proven to work, and then became medicine. But the end result is far detached from how it was used thousands of years before it was actually shown to work.

I typed that comment while I was on the toilet last night 7 minutes before my bedtime. So no, I can’t simply put a video into chipmunk mode and watch for an unscheduled 30 minutes. That’s longer than the actual 25 minute show my wife and I watched in bed.

No thanks.
