There’s a tendency for people with autism to have fixate on aspects of education. It can also be hard for them to learn things that aren’t interesting to them.

This creates a problem for the education system that instead wants uniform education. It’s also just a problem in general as a lot of classes build on one another.

I had someone (well, multiple really) people in my EE classes who could do insane things in terms of physical build outs, but really struggled on pretty simple concepts that weren’t interesting to them.

Yeah, it’s definitely got a no-no word on it.

and it didn’t need to go through FDA approval, which like yeah it was, but that doesn’t mean it’s unsafe.

It was rushed, yes. And it didn’t go through the regular FDA process.

It did, however, go through the full FDA process. What they did was run stages of the FDA approval process in parallel that normally needed to be done in series. All the same steps were done, but they were doing stage III testing at the same time they did Stage II testing.

And, funnily, the vaccine which actually caused health problems wasn’t an MRNA, it was a traditionally developed vaccine (the J&J shot).

99% of the time the product is safe, and the FDA is just this giant ball of red tape you have to cut through.

Safe and effective are 2 different things that the FDA tests. Drugs aren’t always safe and they aren’t always effective. FDA testing forces pharmaceuticals to prove both things before giving their drugs to people.

It’s a lot of red tape, but it’s there because of things like Vioxx (an FDA failure and a result of “just trust us, it’s safe”) which ended up killing/injuring over 10000 people.

Headed towards a gateway.

Not just copper. These server racks are so unfortunately loaded up with parts and components worth a lot of money on the open market. Very unfortunately they have enterprise grade SSDs worth thousands and AI accellerater cards worth 10s of thousands.

And these poor starving companies very unfortunately don’t have the funds to hire a lot of security staff. It’s sadly usually just one guy.

Prices have skyrocketed, quality has tanked.

Sorry, but I have a hard time buying a salad for $10 when I can grab the ingredients for 10 salads for about $5. And they’ll be higher quality. Not browning lettuce with mayo sauce.

If you are having a party with lots of people, fine by me, I’ll avoid your group.

This is a much bigger problem when you are at a crowded location with strangers and you choose to play music. In that case, get some headphones.

The truth is autocad.

Curves and pillars are hard to represent architectures in computer software. What’s easy is nice boxy boxes.

Are you kidding? That looks pretty similar to the Enterprise bridge in TNG. I absolutely did star trek make believe.

All they need is a giant LCD in front of me showing random images of Romulan ships and I’d make due with this sort of design.

Not if you don’t want to. It’s an option outlined in the gentoo docs but for first time gentoo users they recommend just grabbing sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-bin

Well, I’d start by saying that linux has a superior story here vs batch files.

The most direct equivalent is bash/shell scripts. However, they are far more capable. Better conditional statements, loops, variables, text manipulation. It’s always shocking to me how limited batch files are when I’ve had to deal with them. Bash/shell are more equivalent to powershell if you are familiar with that.

But if you want something nicer/more powerful, then nearly every linux distro at this point ships with python. That’s what I’d probably use if I needed more than 100 lines of code. As a bonus you can also install python on windows/mac and keep using those scripts.

If I wanted to install something additionally though, then I do really like the asthetics of ruby. But it’s by no means as popular.

Perl is the old guard here and it does generally exist on all linux systems. However, I think python is superior in basically every way.

The process of installing gentoo and arch is nearly identical. Really the main difference between the two is that arch (usually) offers binaries to install while gentoo prefers that you compile things (though it does actually allow you to use binaries as well).

I suppose my very basic knowledge of terminal isn’t enough to install Gentoo, even with the handbook.

Nope. The gentoo handbook is VERY good. Don’t skip parts on it and you can install a gentoo. You really don’t need very advanced terminal skills to get gentoo up and running. So long as you understand basics like cd/nano/ls/cat then you can pretty easily do the entire handbook.

One thing to realize is that you can always go backwards and fix things if you make a mistake. Nothing is permanent. If you get into a “why isn’t this working” state, just go back and see if you’ve skipped something.

He did in my heart and that’s all that really matters.

Bad hummus is. Good hummus will have other ingredients like garlic and lemon.

Peanut butter is the opposite. Good peanut butter is just ground peanuts. Bad peanut butter includes a bunch of random garbage like sugar and palm oil. You know peanut butter is good if it has oil on top at the store.

What sort of wear was your LED light getting? I’d not think that the wires would have any sort of flex or give in them on a well designed lamp. Sort of like my house wiring, it’s not like it’s flexing around all that much.

One of the more fucked up aspects of eminent domain. City/county/state governments can nuke deeds by using eminent domain. It allows them to turn a plot of land, regardless prior restrictions, into things like dumps.

The fucked up part about it is they can also turn public lands into private lands with that same trick.

What’s frustrating is we still need eminent domain for good. It’s basically the only way to build railways and roads. It even ends up being one of the few ways to deploy things like district heating/cooling and new fiber lines.

This isn’t a “justice is slow” problem. This is a “the justice system only serves to punish the poor and powerless” problem.

The fact of these files is they were in the hands of the FBI and prosecutors 20 years ago. Nothing happened as a result even though there appears to be dozens of individuals capable of being charged with crimes. That’s 20 years of incriminating evidence just sitting around collecting dust because it’d be politically inconvenient to pursue charges.

Justice moves rapidly when a power tripping cop wants to ruin you life. It moves very slowly when a rich pedophile rapes children.

It’s been a messy process, but that 300B number is something that’s been floating around.

Whether or not it pans out remains to be seen.

10 years ago, a significant number of enterprise software was written as windows native apps. What’s changed is now everything is a webapp and linux runs firefox/chrome/chromium/edge/etc just fine.
