Makes me wonder why they even bothered to have 7 different notes instead of 6, with B# and E# as valid notation.

Hi this is your doctor, we need to talk urgently about your test results, please call us back.

I hope broader international recognition of Palestine helps spur more recognition of Kurdistan.

That shit should be illegal.

Moderna has their combined vaccine currently in clinical trials.

Paywall

Leave room for my detritus.

I want to be a Camus but most days I’m a Cioran.

We put Kalashnikov on Sergey’s rowboat, Ukraine cowers before invincible Russian engineering!

Just wanted to remind folks looking at the job changes that potency numbers you see may not always mean the same thing from job to job.

Potency is meant to give you a sense of how powerful certain abilities in a kit are compared to another, but potencies across jobs are not always equal. A Paladin potency may not be the same as a Samurai potency may not be the same as a Sage potency, etc.

This was an issue on Samsung devices last year, but the OneUI 6.1 update ended up fixing it for me.

That and it’s impossible say whether or not a given tool or object will never be used to do harm if wielded by the wrong entity.

Like, say you’re someone who makes free bricks. Someone uses the brick to build a house, great, that’s what it’s made for. Someone uses that brick to shatter a cop’s windshield, even better.

But someone can also use that brick to smash in the windows of a school, or even that the house built with the bricks you made is being lived in by a bad person.

No one makes bricks thinking “this could be a weapon, I am responsible for the harm it causes” because its primary purpose as building material is self-evident. It therefore has no inherent morality outside of what people you can’t control choose to do with what they have. All the brick maker wants to do is make the best bricks they can.

Weird, I am on Android as well and all I see is the ol’ X in a box.

Maybe it’s a Google phone only thing.

Agreed. The only redeeming thing I can give the writers credit for is that they gave him an amazing family life. Even though he is the office punching bag, he is much more fulfilled outside of work than any other character is. That, and he also does love his job.

Also rebranded as “Live. Die. Repeat.” for some reason. I guess the studio didn’t think the title “Edge of Tomorrow” sold the premise well enough.

I mean it could be better, though. Could do with fewer natural disasters, or perhaps another continent in the Pacific so it isn’t so empty. Or maybe burritos that grow on trees and a mild concentration of opium in the air. That’s the Earth I’d want to live on.

To me, the most unrealistic part of that ad is not the edge to edge displays, or the holograms emanating from them, or the overall inefficiency of it all, but rather just that you could never have a place that full of screens without ads being everywhere.

I remember first watching that video on my first smartphone and thinking “When will they ever make a phone without bezels?” And now they pretty much have, but my experience was not some artistic interface full of aesthetically pleasing data and art. It was a YouTube video completely surrounded by ad content.

TBH I’d give earth a B or a C.

I feel like there must be a better planet out there somewhere.

Left to right, top to bottom.

Bad: Shinto, Taoism

Worst: Sikhism, Buddhism, Jainism

Extremely Worst: Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam

Personally, I think whoever made this image has gives too much credit to Shinto and Taoism.

You wouldn’t believe how much more Americans already pay in taxes for healthcare than other countries and then having to pay insurance on top of that.

Insurance has allowed the healthcare industry to balloon costs beyond any reasonable limit. Allowing the government to dictate prices instead can only help drive cost of medical care down and make the situation much more affordable for all, even factoring in what we pay now in both taxes and insurance.
