The reason why these drugs are going generic way before they usually do (it's supposed to be 20 years from initial market introduction) is that someone at Novo Nordisk fucked up and didn't file their exclusivity paperwork properly. Just FYI since it's not in the article.

I was under the impression that this community is for news from around the world, not news that the entire world is affected by.

A lot of it was forced conversion. There's a long history of religious and cultural oppression of various peoples in the region. You could probably find some online documentaries about it, though more than a few likely view the events through a pro-Zionist lens.

I was in a month-long work orientation completely over Zoom/Teams in 2022. Having 2 monitors and using picture-in-picture mode really helped me avoid losing track of the meeting while multitasking. Play music in the background if you find that helpful.

If this is an in-person meeting, push for more frequent breaks if the host is receptive to that and bring your fidget toys and doodling supplies. Chewing gum also helps me not be too restless, but obviously be respectful and don't chew obnoxiously.

Not all stimulants work the same. Otherwise ADHD-targeted drugs wouldn't even need to exist and we could all just do meth or coke or whatever.

Coffee doesn't make me hyper or energize my brain so I can focus more, it just helps me avoid falling asleep when I'm exhausted.

For reference, almost all manufacturing is done in Mexico. Final assembly is done in America and takes longer because the process still requires a lot of manual labour and quality assurance.

"The work" is highly variable depending on location so lumping it all together means that a decent amount of nuance is lost.

Honestly, we're generally fine with individual Americans that are respectful. Not many of us, if any at all, will be rude towards you unless you're an openly hateful Trump supporter.

Wow, I totally missed the part where Microsoft had a gun to your head. Obviously sales go down when people don't have to buy the game to play it.

Why does Arkane suck so much now?

Awesome. I used to live in Sauble Beach (in an old family cottage on Second Ave that's been bulldozed to make room for a mega-cottage) and the indigenous communities there have been shut down at every opportunity.

This is a huge move symbolically and I hope that they get the land and extra money on top for the trouble.

Well, it could be that their electrical design or engineering teams have a bigger budget for prototyping and R&D. It's not just the battery that affects the charging function.

Yeah, there are so many Japanese shows out there that only have subs because people liked them so much that they wanted to share them. It's basically the reason that anime and manga even became relevant in the west.

Just stop a lot if you want to meet people. Make small talk, be open about your travels, ask locals where the cool spots are. Since it's summer, you could make a point to check out some public trails, lakes, and national or provincial parks. You'll definitely find people there.

For accommodations, unfortunately summer tourism is big business in "cottage country" and the cheap spots, even for a few days, were likely booked months ago. You may be able to park overnight at a campground for a decent price, though. But I suggest you still keep looking at B&Bs and motels just in case something pops up last minute.

Here's a tip I heard from a person living in their car: if you can't find a place to stay, try looking for a large parking lot (like a Walmart or something) with a big transport truck parked at the front somewhere; that often means it's okay/low-risk to park overnight.

Is this because they can't do the dishes between Friday night and Saturday night? Feels like a bit of a self-own. Haven't people been Orthodox for thousands of years?

Anecdotally, I only visit PH on my phone and I use incognito mode sometimes, which I'm just guessing would count as a unique visit. Probably a lot of people are doing the same thing, and globally more people run Android than iOS.

Can you articulate why it's fine "until it becomes a big enough issue"?

When does it become a big enough issue? Why is it okay for companies and web administrators to lose out on an unquantified portion of the revenue that you say that they are owed in exchange for their services?

Ooooh, an amicus brief! Nothing says "end fascism" like 15 pages of paper.

Even if they gave it away for free, they probably wouldn't hit that. Absolutely going to be used to justify layoffs.

Don't you think it's hypocritical to say that you think people should freely give their data to companies so that they can finance their websites while also saying that me avoiding tracking and ads is a good thing?

If you want to be consistent, you can't also support bypassing the method by which you're contending that the internet sustains itself.

When is the last time ads on a website were completely random and not at least relevant to you?

Earlier today, because I block cookies, ads, tracking, etc.

I should have specified non commercial sites.

So you know you're cherry-picking to justify your weirdo pro-corporate opinion, then.
