My coworker is obsessed with Temu. He buys like 10 things, typically 8 of them are garbage and he returns them and 2 are fine which he keeps.

I’ve never heard him talk about great things he gets, but he’s constantly talking to me about “Look how little I paid for this thing!”

Who is ready for this to be appealed up to the supreme court and struck down?

I’m only a student in the field so NotADoctor™ but under normal conditions your tear film layer and blinking keep other liquids out of your eyes. When wearing contacts in water or when cleaning them with tapwater, there is a small amount of the fluid that gets trapped against the eye. If that fluid is fresh water contaminated with acanthamoeba, it provides ample opportunity and time for the acanthamoeba to break through the layer and the contact lens prevents it from being blinked away.

My understanding is that acanthamoeba are basically everywhere, and the contacts being worn when swimming or showering are actually one of the main factors in acanthamoeba infection. They normally eat bacteria but they are opportunistic parasites, and I guess the contact gives them the opportunity.

I mean, one of the benafits for fentanyl specifically from the perspective of drug dealers is that it’s a synthetic. With heroin or cocaine or something you have to have space to grow the plants or a source for the plants and those can only grow easily at certain latitudes, etc. So you’re limited by the supply chain. With synthetics you can set up a lab anywhere relatively easily, like in Canada for example

Oh, absolutely. I would even say that description of their attitude towards workers rights is an understatement. I’m just talking about their lofty goals for the project and how even with the best engineers and best workforce in the world their stated timelines are physically impossible

You’d think. If I was the one paying for it, I would be changing providers but you know how that goes. I just work here, man.

The automated voicemail transcriptions my work uses (medical office) recently switched to AI. In some cases it works really well, but if there are long periods of silence it will start to make things up. I’ve ended up with some pretty loopy messages when someone leaves voicemail with long silence at the end.

It’s almost like they set a bunch of absurdly unrealistic deadlines and now cannot figure out how to meet them

Looks like they killed it lol. The site they were hosting it on, http://apologize.lol now redirects to info about them suing Musk

True, but with the speed of light being constant as far as we know worrying about it is sort of a moot point

My understanding is the 1080 predated the RTX stuff by a generation, even when I was on Windows I don’t think the Nvidia drivers for the 1080 supported RTX well, if at all

I have a GTX 1080 and I’ve been gaming on Linux for over a year now. No issues. Only thing that you cant do is some of the new generation window managers (wayland) but even that is working well in the nvidia drivers that arent on stable yet. In any case, the previous generations window managers work great and if wayland doesnt work properly for you, you can just as easily do without it.

Point is, its worth it to make the switch. I set my partner up with Linux Mint when their machine didnt qualify for windows updates anymore and they’ve had no problems, games and all. And they would never touch the command line.

Would recommend

Hell yeah, being dead inside is in season

idk why anyone would buy anything HP these days anyways

The woman actually running SpaceX seems to be aggressively competent and good at managing his idiocy

While I agree with you, any politician with an R beside their name is going to actively obstruct everything you just listed.

So then it becomes what takes more political capital, one thing they’ll fight tooth and nail or ten?

Throw it on the pile. https://killedbygoogle.com

Another potential innocent murdered by the state so they can claim they’re “tough on crime”

I mean it would be pretty hard to imagine an ocean if all you knew was bowels
