THANK YOU for letting us know that this exists

Unfortunately, I dislike thunderbird with a passion. In my anecdotal experience, its search is terrible - not to mention that there are two of it: a search option in the top panel that misses about 50% of relevant messages, and a very featureful search option buried within the menu bar that misses about 20% of relevant messages. Out of necessity, I've trained myself to just reboot to Windows any time I really need to find a particular email that I know I have somewhere. I also don't particularly like Thunderbird's UI, but that is something I'm able to compromise on.

Not meant to be a rant, but rather: please, someone, is this really the best we have?

I thought (but don't have a source for this right now) that an additional factor was that the vaccine must accidentally have entered the bloodstream, as opposed to only the muscle (i.e. incorrect administration). This isn't mentioned by the article, so was this not the case?

Only after the volume has been trimmed, which by default happens only once a week in Windows, IIRC.

Why not?

But what would you do if Dr Johnson was surprised, and you yourself were shouting, i.e.:

Dr Johnson kicked a large rock and said, as his foot rebounded: “I refute it thus?”!

AFAICS, the only way to render this faithfully is the way I just did. In other words, you really do need the punctuation both of the outer sentence and the inner sentence. By extension, the only logical approach for the original sentence would be:

Dr Johnson kicked a large rock and said, as his foot rebounded: “I refute it thus.”.

On a different note, might I use this moment to complain about American books not closing quotations, if they continue on onto a new paragraph, and then opening them again? I.e.:

John said: "I have two things to say.

"One of these things is this.

"The other thing is this."

I was under the impression that the EU privacy laws (GDPR etc) applied to EU citizens regardless of location. If that impression is correct, then isn't it the case that nothing meaningful, privacy-wise, will change for the author even after this change to their account, as long as they remain a German citizen?

Not sure I understand the paper (not my field); are they saying that extrapolating from a mortality measure predicts that mortality is inevitable? If so... isn't that just a way of confirming the obvious, viz. that higher quantiles of a logistic distribution are closer to 1? Finding a cutoff age at a - quite large, it seems - number of 120-150 years is cool and all, but I don't see how this informs us about anything other than mortality measures predicting eventual mortality?

FYI, there's a paper that claims exactly this: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20658859/

Or people who lack variation in their diet (which contributes to health) skip the chilis too.

Secure Boot is UEFI only (can't be enabled unless you disable CSM support) so if you want to boot XP you won't have access to Secure Boot anyway

I guess these guys hadn't seen the info on https://linux-sunxi.org/Main_Page when they were trying to get the device to run arbitrary code. All Allwinner SoCs have a USB bootloader baked into the _CPU_, which you can talk to over an open-source protocol (poorly documented, but on my old A10 tablet the magic term to google for is 'LiveSuit' - there is an open-source Linux driver, bootloader, and flasher stub to be found on github somewhere).
