I would imagine a burning boat doesn't get anywhere near as hot or stays burning long enough to compare to a crematorium so you end up with a badly burnt corpse floating in the water...

Definitely try some earplugs, I personally like the foam ones that you roll up and then expand in your ear. If that’s not enough get a pair of over-the-ear hearing protection and use both together. Just be sure to have a vibrating alarm on your phone to alert you when your getting close to your stop. Then be sure to print a pillow and maybe a small blanket. Also put a lock around whatever bag your bringing and sling it around your arm or leg to prevent thefts if you have things of value with you.

Honestly aiming for sleep is probably the best thing for the short term. Trying to learn new skills or look for a new job/apartment while exhausted and stressed just compounds it.

Best of luck. It will get better.

Not OP but imagine a more direct anlogy:

If cars dealerships also owned their own network of fuel stations. They sell you the car for cheap but require you to use their network of expensive fuel stations for x years. The cars have an encrypted chip that detects if its connected to the specific approved gas station when filling. Now if you try and sell it there is no real market because the buyer can only use it at the specific dealerships gas network and that dealership could also lock that buyer out if it chose.

Now someone has gained access to the car dealerships database and unlocked a bunch of cars for a fee. Is that good or bad I donno.

I think the important thing to remember is that whatever "artificial software limitation" is imposed on the phone was done so with the knowledge of the person signing the contract when the phone was leased. At least I have to assume it is called out in the contract.

Even in the GP post its not "your" car. You don't "own" the car when you lease-to-own you are renting it under a contract which gives you very specific right to "own" the car at the time of your last payment or when you are able to pay it in full. Ownership is determined by the name on the Title Certificate which would be in the dealership's name until you make the final payment or pay it off beforehand in full.

I don't think mine was ever quite that high. Around 35-37mpg when I got it and probably around 30 now. Its a MT though and I think they get slightly worse mpg than AT.

Mine just hit 250k miles of trouble free driving. I did change out the front seats to leather RSX seats at one point as I too hated the stock seats.

Do you think they would hire those same 6000 people if the corp tax rate was higher in Irland?

Additionally the modern trend, in many types of public lighting, is to reduce the amount of light which shines upwards in order to increase efficient and lower light pollution.

My first reaction was one of astonishment that the robbers tunnel is so close to the actual entrance and tunnel. If just some random location was chosen that was quite lucky. After some googling I guess there's still a lot of uncertainty.

Here's an interesting article:

I recently setup a Gl-inet Velica mesh system in my house and am really impressed with the customization and security features. Definitely give it a look.

Looks like they found themselves a new “partner” :D

I am sorry you are going through this. I have dual citizenship in Germany/US which certainly gives me a certain feeling of comfort as having a way out should I feel I need it. For me personally its not gay rights, though those are still very important to me. I would cast your net as wide as possible in looking at various countries that have laws/cultures that are more aligned with your own; some might have much more lax citizenship requirements than others. But as with everything there is usually a trade off.

Moving out of state might also work of course, and it will hopefully over time send a strong message to states like Texas.

Good Luck one way or the other.

PS: btw if you do leave the state, send a quick email to all your reps and perhaps those on the other side of the isle to let them know why you are leaving and how much you contributed to the local economy in order to send a strong message. Might help those left behind in Texas who are in a similar situation to you but have less means to move.

OneBlade type razors are kind of a nice compromise for me. They have a single replaceable blade but also a pivoting style head. The shave if pretty amazing compared to any cartridge razor I've tried and the blade just snaps in and out of place so isn't any more difficult to change out than a cartridge.

I agree with you in general. I think over time fields that are "fuzzy" with definitions, like psychology, will hopefully add additional layers of specificity to a number of neuro diseases/ailments/conditions. In the end if you took any condition out of the DSM each human probably falls some where along a spectrum for each one and the ultimate combination is what makes us "us" as individuals.

I could certainly see autism be rated on a 1-10 scale of severity to provide additional clarity or each one of those ten points on the gradient receiving a new diagnostic name. Going further we could probably have a broader scale that includes severe autism on one side and severe empathy on the other. The empathetic traits aren't as well studied even though being severely empathetic can also have a host of social challenges.

I agree with you and would love more "real world" things to be open source. I do like the ethos within software/tech that things are open-sourced often. It doesn't exist to nearly the same degree in many other "physical world" type industries.

I think government/ bureaucracy moves slowly and most people working within them don't come from a software background so a lot of the older norms of not sharing things (outside of things like data/documents) is just the way things are done. I expect to a lot of these people sharing a source code is treated exactly the same as sharing any other mechanical designs which they just often don't do.

Hopefully both things will change.

I'm not in software so maybe my viewpoint is just different but I also wouldn't expect NASA to give me the mechanical blueprints for a rocket, or even a concrete launch pad nor would I expect the local government to give me the the electrical schematics for the stop light systems, even though doing so would in no way prevent them from continuing to use these systems/items

The FLIR One or Pro are in the $220-300 range if I remember correctly. They attach to your iphone and use that as the screen an maybe for some processing. In any case it works pretty well for most personal applications you might run across.

I'm not sure I see the contradiction? I'm just saying that if regular health care only covered something like wellness visits and a cast every other year they would probably be more likely to try and sell you additional services to drive their revenue.

And by upsell I just mean convincing you the financial burden is worth the proposed extra treatment. Right now as long as I have health insurance I don't care abut the extra cost of extra treatments beyond a health check because I don't directly bear the cost.

I mean pretty much every other health related thing that's not covered by insurance has the same dynamics; eye care, cosmetic surgery.

I agree. Its important to remember that some types of pain have the biological purpose of preventing you from overusing an injured part of your body. Masking that with painkillers can give you a fall sense of confidence to continue using parts of your body that in reality should be at rest.

At least in the US its because dental insurance isn't part of normal health insurance. Dental insurance mostly just covers the bare bones (teeth?) treatments like regular cleanings and an xray every couple of years. SO in order for the Dentist to make money they ahve to upsell every other treatment not covered by insurance. With regulars health insurance the doc is payed for pretty much any specific treatment they deem necessary so they know they will be payed.

I think if we had the 'pay out of pocket' kind of thing for other health care we would see the same thing.

Its not just nicotine. There are other compounds in tabacco that act as MAOIs for example

Even without a blank you can sometimes do it. I used a printed photocopy of a office key and then modified my existing (already cut) key of the same type by adding layers of metallic epoxy and filing them back down to the correct hills and valleys. Was a pain but it got me a “master” key to all the doors in a building I worked at. Be careful if letting someone borrow the master key even for just a few minutes.

One of the rails to trails routes here in Virginia that I've ridden my bike on features a pretty large and relatively high bridge that spans acroases a river and much of the woods surrounding it. The more narrow bridge makes it easier to see over both sides like a typical pedestrian bridge but having that experience in the middle of the woods and above the trees was rather magical.

Here is a picture of in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Bridge_(Appomattox_River)...

You sound similar to me, girlfriend is an artist with an incredible visual imagination, mother is a therapist, and I was at a 0 on the scale before I met her. My gf and I have had some deep conversations, sometimes assisted by MDMA, and at times to the point of crying in front of her in a state of completely trusting her which uncovered some past trauma, social fears, and other discomforts I needed to work through. Anyway after each of these times it would get a little easier to visualize; simple colors at first, then colorful shapes, now small snippets of images that come in and out. Maybe a 2-3 on the scale. Also my memory has improved, not so much for technical stuff, but just remembering the details of my life which before had huge spans (in years) that I mostly didn't remember.

Anyway this might just be specific to me but something to think about.

I imagine once you figure out which craters correspond to ones that came in at an angle which would have hit earth and compare that to all the impacts you have had on earth one could figure it out.

The thing is that on the moon the craters remain visible for a much longer period of time while on earth they get covered up by plate shifts, erosion, ocean impacts, etc. So instead it might be a way to calculate how many asteroids likely have hit earth in general throughout history whether we have found the craters on earth or not. Then you could calculate based on the size of the craters on the moon which ones would have been earth catastrophic events (taking into account any diminishing impact energy due to our atmosphere). Which would tell us how many the moon saved the earth from. In terms of how many since human ancestors were evolving we would have to then date earth catastrophic craters on the moon. I'm not sure if this can be done through photographs or if we would have to get surface samples.

Then comparing that number to the fraction of earth covered/protected by the moon to the total area on earth we would have a decent idea of how many of these events happened one earth even if we haven't discovered the evidence for them on earth.

Becouse of the orbital lock it’s interesting to think of it like a shield for earth. I imagine a lot of those craters were by asteroids that would have hit earth, esp the perfectly round ones in the center. The oblong ones or ones towards the edges might have come at an angle that wouldn’t have hit earth. Seems like a fascinating way to study earths impact history if we end up exploring the dark side of the moon in more detail.

I'm assuming the US as that is the case here. Each visit is billed for individually. By the case is certainly a much better model.

I noticed that on nights the full moon was shining though the regular curtains on my bedroom window I would get a horrible nights sleep. It wasn't fixed until I got blackout curtains.

Same with the "folders" icon. I bet a very large percentage of the population has never used an actual paper folder.

There are newer classes of of MAOIs called Reversible Selective MAOIs (Moclobemide) that do not have this problem with tyramine containing food.

Do you have any studies which you can point to that actually that demonstrate that "natural immunity provides a fraction of the immune response that being vaccinated does"?

From what I can tell even the CDCs latest online review, as of Oct 2021, doesn't have any evidence that one is better than the other in terms of antibodi titers [1] In fact the most recent CDC published studies, from this year, have shown naturally induced immunity to be superior to vaccine induced immunity in terms of both illness and death [2]
