The worst people, having discovered the killer probably came from their ranks, now have to fall back to their oldest tactic — canceling. It’s clearly their strongest play (they invented it, successfully blamed the tactic on everyone else, and are getting traction with it again now).

Jag hittade också ett prekärt syftningsfel i utbildningsmaterialet som kunde göra att vissa tolkade fel när det gäller användning av ibuprofen. Man ska inte använda den typen av värktabletter alls men syftningsfelet gjorde att man kunde tro att det var okej i en vecka utan läkarkontakt, vilket det alltså inte är.

I think good leaders ask questions and listen. Others just tell you how things work.
"Another priority is the issue of free speech, which they regard as very important. The way to understand this, I think, is that it's mostly a question about moderation on social media and that they don't like that."

Any Epson-HX20 people got a copy of the _eprom_ version of the Intext manual?
Mine has the Eprom in the expansion box, and it starts up with the error 'Memory too small. See Manual.' FRE(0) shows 29275 - so that I guess means at least BASIC sees the expansion RAM.

«As Disney enters the picture, I imagine the platform will become even more anodyne. Persistent people will slip through and generate videos of Goofy and Iron Man sucking and fucking, sure, but the vast majority of what’s coming will be safe corporate gruel that resembles a Marvel movie.»

The Horrors™ persist, but so do cats! :3
Generating code via an LLM prompt at breakneck speed can, predictably, lead to less-than-stellar work.
Now, in an ironic twist, it seems that, having dispensed with more skilled coders for the cheap effectiveness of a chatbot-aided code monkey,
companies are having to hire additional contractors to fix the AI’s screw-ups.

Igår klarade jag av det muntliga och praktiska provet för självtestning av PK/INR (hur snabbt mitt blod koagulerar) för Waran-patienter. Detta efter fyra dubbelprov (testning på både vårdcentral - venöst - och hemma - kapillärt - med värden som inte skiljer sig mer än 0,3 punkter).
Det är stort, och fantastiskt skönt, för nu slipper jag springa till vårdcentralen var tredje vecka eller oftare. Jag gör allt hemma själv, inklusive dosering.
Here's a photo that's a bit different from my usual style.
I took it with the tele lens on last weekend's hike. The inversion caused such a great sea of clouds with just some sole islands.
This kind of weather really offers such unique motives. And again: it was worth carrying the zoom lens up there :-D
Enjoy!

Neo-Nazis have never been particularly good at reading the medieval sources they are so drawn towards.
