Thank you!
Out of curiosity, are the 19.0 federation issues actually solved with 19.1? Or are the issues just improved with further fixes in the works?
The story I seemed to be seeing was that 19.1 hadn’t actually fixed (but maybe improved?) federation issues and that another high-priority fix was coming.
I did this a few months ago and it worked surprisingly well.
I was also annoyed by the number of Reddit reposts. I started blocking the accounts that posted that content when I saw it and the issue was largely fixed surprisingly quickly. It’s really not many accounts doing this but they put out a lot of posts.
By my read, this is the core of the articles argument:
But if these billionaires’ largesse was designed to retain the conservative judge on the country’s highest court, the donations might fall outside of the definition of tax-free gifts, which according to the Supreme Court must stem from “detached and disinterested generosity.” If the benefits showered on Thomas were designed to elicit court actions or job decisions, they could be considered taxable income, whether or not there is definitive proof of quid pro quo on Thomas’s part.
Agreed. A lot of people in this thread are confusing what they believe should be illegal discrimination with what is actually illegal discrimination. Or they believe discrimination laws are more broadly encompassing than they are. There are a lot of kinds of discrimination that most of us agree is bad and shouldn’t be allowed… but unfortunately is not illegal.
I think this is helpful context from the actual report (linked at the top of the WaPo article):
In 2022, half as many (47%) of adolescent girls and young women acquired HIV as in 2010. Even with this decline, we are not on track to meet our 2030 target to end new HIV infections among adolescent girls and young women.
The global sex-distribution of new HIV infections among adolescents is driven largely by sub-Saharan Africa, which carries the overwhelming global burden of HIV. In 2022, 33% of older adolescents aged 15-19 years newly infected with HIV lived outside of the region. In the Middle East and North Africa region, the number of young people living with HIV has increased by 13% since 2010. In East Asia and the Pacific and Latin America and the Caribbean, two thirds of new adolescent infections, age 10-19 years, occur in boys. Stigma, discrimination, societal inequalities and violence sabotage the efforts of adolescents and young people to protect themselves against HIV and other health threats. Young key populations are especially vulnerable.
I’m trying to connect the dots here. Is this what appears to be going on?:
The DeSantis’ campaign illegally coordinated with the “Never Back Down” PAC and that situation was getting press. Whatshisbucket resigns from Never Back Down and forms a “new” PAC doing the exact same work. The “new” PAC is pretty much going to be the same as the old PAC. They just did this to (attempt to) avoid being caught/punished/fined for illegal coordination with the campaign.
I went down a rabbit hole when the “blue light bad (at night)” thing hit 5-10 years ago. At the time I was curious about what the “dose” relationship was - ie, how much blue light did it take to affect your sleep - and how severely sleep was actually impacted.
What I found was that you will see lots of articles and health advice that said to avoid blue light and digital devices before sleep, but that when you dig into the source that all this advice was based on, it was a handful of really shady studies, such as the one I mentioned in my previous comment.
The belief that blue light affects sleep originated from research on the effect of sunlight on sleep patterns. But studies/articles makes a giant leap from the fact that bright sunlight has a measurable effect on sleep to the belief that any light that matches the sunlight spectrum also affects sleep.
Look at the s actual studies and read them. Draw your own conclusions about the quality of the study. What I found is that studies had to massively “crank up” the factors to show any effect. They do not attempt to replicate real-world usage of devices before sleep.
There seems to be one or two specific platformers that you loved and you using that(those) specific game(s) to state that PS2 3D platformers were generally great and universally better than today’s platformers. One does not follow the other.
And you are taking your personal preference for a very specific art style and using it as your justification for calling these platformers “objectively superior”. You keep telling people to “prove” you wrong but no matter how many specific examples people give you, you are very strongly objecting based on your subjective preferences. We cant prove you out of your own particular desire for a particular game.
I remember reading a study on sleep quality, purportedly testing whether people sleep better after reading a print book compared to a digital book. If I remember correctly, this is also one of the studies cited for the “blue light bad” trend.
The study found that reading digital books vs print harmed sleep. Their test conditions were something like this (note: I’m not exaggerating how ridiculous the setup was):
Print book: sit/lay in bed however you wish in a moderately lit room and read for some number of hours before you sleep.
Digital book: in the same room with the same lighting, an iPad is attached to a a device that holds it a prescribed distance from your face. The device cannot be moved, so you must sit in a particular position for the entire reading time. THE IPADS BRIGHTNESS SET TO MAXIMUM. You cannot adjust the brightness.
Yeah, I’m probably going to sleep worse after being forced to sit in the same position for multiple hours while being blinded.
It really isn’t hard to be considerate of your neighbors. Sure, you have the right to stomp around your house. There is a lot of asshole behavior that is within your rights.
They should not do this without checking where the bed is supported on the floor. Your method only lifts the perimeter of the bed. It is very likely that the bed also rests on the floor down the center line of the bed or at other spots within the perimeter. If they only prop up the perimeter of the bed, it is liable to collapse in the center.
Very cool! I think it would be interesting to see the ambient temp in the Dutch oven during the lid on phase. I’m curious about how different it is from the oven temp. I’m guessing you can only track two probes though.
