Oh yikes not another one. Honestly thinking about getting a tattooed list on my forearm of the "mistaken for dementia" conditions when I hit 70, so that I can try to get checked for them instead of being thrown into a dementia ward.
Its sort of post apocalyptic, there aren't nearly as many plants as I would like but the ones we do have are huge and there's hardly anyone on them yet!
Definitely. It feels like it will be a turning point in how it is managed, especially if health funders figure out that it will cut costs and actually fund it.
A bunch of brain illnesses/injuries trigger sickness responses, it's a problem for sure. The warning signs for this in adults sound like common problems too (headaches, poor balance, concentration problems, needing to wee a lot). Being able to wave a "wand" and see if your shunt is working sounds like magic!
I think people do that if their plants are small? Usually where I live there are a couple of big plants on the go (over 2 m high) from year to year, so if I see any caterpillars trying to eat seedlings I ferry them over to those.
I'm not actually the owner of the garden, and the plants are self-sown, so it's all a bit random. If I ever win lotto the butterflies, birds, and bees can have a whole garden of stuff though.
Just checked and it's 2 cm. News articles are vague, but according to the scientists involved with it, it measures 2mm x 3mm x 20mm. It's going to save lives though.
I used to read the business section too, for the same reason.
Exactly like pet microchips, it has no battery! It just sits there inert and takes power from the scanner they use to take readings.
This article mentions that, and also has a picture of it.
Wonder if it will be the start of more tech? When looking around I noticed there's an abandoned patent from years ago for measuring cerebral bloodflow, which is interesting.
Thanks! Been a bit of a weird year but starting to feel improvements, fingers crossed. Was glad to come here and see you guys!
I should be starting to see caterpillars by now. January is the peak laying month and eggs hatch in 1 or 2 weeks. I'm not sure why there are fewer butterflies; something might have affected the overwintering ones. Will have to have a better look though.
On the plus side last spring there were cinerarias here and some lovely magpie moths.
I agree. It has also metasticised - facebook will still have a "shadow" profile on you based on what it can infer from the data it collects from others.
I've found it impossible to even get my family off Whats App, let alone facebook. When I first opened my facebook account the only people I could add were my online American friends because no one here seemed to have heard of it. So I guess I was part of the problem. Am trying to spread awareness of the Fediverse so hopefully that will balance out my karma!
I think you're right, so many of us do aspire to get away from social media surveillance and we will eventually have an ecosystem. Thank you for your part in it!😀
This might be a big city thing. In my town the cost of bulk rice for example is always cheaper at Pak n Save (which does 5kg bags) than in either Bin Inn or the Asian supermarkets. Same with meat versus butchers.
Veg is hit and miss everywhere but green veges are sometimes cheapest at some of the Asian places, though to be fair it's not usually the same veges.
When I lived in Aucks and Wellington we shopped more like you describe, but frustratingly it just doesn't work like that here. Might also be that I have way less money now and am always after the cheapest things.
I agree, but I really hope some of us are at least in a position to sort it out. There's this concept Surveillance Capitalism that points out how corporations have become more powerful because of it and their interactions with governments.
Even without that, in the US they have had legislative capture for decades (eg they are not allowed easy online taxes like we have because HR Block and TurboTax lobby against it) and NZ is beginning to show signs of it. Peter Thiel owns a surveillance company that develops war AI.
That said historically there are always swings in favour of human rights every now and again so here's hoping we as a species see sense.
I don't think they can kick you out straight away if you let it lapse into a periodic tenancy? Hopefully you can find somewhere else within the 2 months before rent can be increased under periodic.
Maybe there was a lot more but they took it? It's a lot of money to us but if you had cartel connections I imagine it's the equivalent of change that got stuck in the couch.
