Why are hospitals drug-testing pregnant women without their consent?

The suspect was at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania and was recognized by an employee who then called local police.

I’m accusing parallel construction. The released photos have so little detail that there must be a hundred thousand Americans that match their appearance.

Try going to http://000.000.000.000:8080/ in your web browser (replacing the 0’s with your public IP address), on your home connection. If it doesn’t work, it means that your port forwarding is probably not working. If the page loads correctly, it means your port forwarding is working correctly, and the problem is probably your ISP doing port blocking.

What options are there? Signal is not viable, because it requires a special type of phone number to sign up, so can’t be used on desktop. WhatsApp is proprietary. Matrix took me 8 tries to find a server that would let me sign up, and then the client wouldn’t allow me to send private messages.

The title and blurb are both editorializations in support of [email protected]’s anti-South Korean opinion.

Except in social studies class. People should be aware of other people’s religions. But each religion should be taught equally, or in proportion to how many members they have. Kids should also be able to learn why people join religions and why religions are persuasive.

Off the top of my head, I think the best chances of survival are: C, A, B. I’m not sure about A vs. C, because A’s total odds are hard to calculate in my head, while C is exactly 1/3 (33.33%).

The reason A is better than B is that a 1/6 chance of dying, twice, is better than a 2/6 chance of dying, once. They might seem at first like the same, but consider that one of those 36 chances in the A case is where you get shot twice in a row. That’s no worse than a regular death. So it comes out to only 11/36 of dying in the first two rounds of A, but 12/36 of dying in the first one round of B.

Don’t quit. Government workers are entitled to more recourse than normal employees if they are going to be fired. Usually you can’t just fire them for no reason.

Quitting would also prevent severance pay.

Sue for defamation. He called your work “fake jobs”. Now his followers are threatening your life.

I agree.

Friendly reminder: deadnaming Twitter is not transphobic.

That’s some bullshit.

Fortunately, virtual machines these days usually use hardware virtualization, instead of emulation.

Yeah, this. It would be tasteful to get a gift card to any local coffee shop, or Target, or one of those $20 Visa gift cards, though they have like a $5 overhead just to activate them.

Homemade pastries are a bit weird if you don’t know someone that well, and store-bought pastries are hard if you don’t know what they like.

But does your medical clinic do?

No, they don’t, and it pisses me off. Every time I see it, I think, Well, there goes my medical privacy.

But where else can I go? There’s only one health company in town, and they bought all the doctor’s offices.

Who can I complain to? The doctors and nurses are visibly frustrated with Windows every time I see them use it. If they can’t change it, how could I?

I can’t answer why shoulderoforion feels that way about backups. But I can answer why I feel that way about email: Google is a bigger part of people’s lives, and so is a more dangerous monopoly. Therefore, I pick Microsoft for email.

Tons of businesses have their email hosted by Microsoft or Google, and tons of individuals have their email hosted by Google. If you want to self-host email, as I used to do, you need to interoperate with both of them.

To send email to a Google-hosted domain, you have to jump through a series of increasingly obscure hoops. Not all at once – they introduce new ones once every week or month. First, it will let your email through. Then you will get rejected with a URL for a new hoop. First, getting your IP address off a “policy block list”, which is basically a preemptive spam filter for static IPs that have never sent any email. Next month, you have to do SPF. Next, DKIM. Next, you have to create a Google account, and do something with your domain while signed into that account. Next, your Google account gets banned without recourse, and you have to wait 3 months for it to be deleted to make another, and all your mail is rejected during that time.

To send email to a Microsoft a hosted domain, you have to first send email to that person, get shadowbanned by the server, verify that your mail did not end up in their inbox, nor junk directory, and then call them and ask to be whitelisted. Depending on the circumstances, you may need to do this for each domain you send to, or each email address. The method of whitelisting varies, because the error message varies. If you can’t contact a postmaster at the company, get fucked.

This is absolute monopolization. The only way to play the game is with their rented game pieces. So you have to pick one, and you pick whichever one is less dangerous.

I’m using it in a business setting, and hate it. Our company has lost about a thousand hours of work from OneDrive corrupting git repos. Everyone at the company is aware that you must NEVER allow OneDrive to touch a git repo, but OneDrive keeps adding directories without consent or notification, so people’s git repos keep getting corrupted.

Maybe it’s the IT department, or maybe Onedrive just sucks.

As far as I’m aware, Trump plans to remove all immigrants, whether documented or not, and even green card holders. I don’t think he will have much luck with it, but maybe I’m wrong.

Start applying for jobs outside the US. Finding a job is usually the longest part of moving.

You may want to try applying for citizenship at the same time, assuming you even want to stay for 2025-2028.

I’m speaking as a US citizen whose life would be improved by your presence in the US.

Even if Trump doesn’t abuse his power to escape this, he will die of old age before 4 years are up.

The hard work paid off, with Aftershock II returning safely with a trove of valuable flight data. You can dig into it to your heart’s content through this white paper.

Link broken, unfortunately.

Electronic women, giant mech women, women reenactments…

Space women?

You know damn well this isn’t about surgery. It’s about hormones, and it says so right there in the summary. You didn’t even have to click the link. Nobody is doing breast implants on trans minors (only on cis minors, which is perfectly fine for some reason).

Forcing a trans kid to go through the wrong puberty even though they know they are trans is extremely traumatic. It’s life ruining. It alters the voice, the shape of the torso, the shape of the face, and facial and body hair in ways that either can’t be fixed at all, or can only be fixed with expensive surgeries later on.

And if you want people to be absolutely sure about their status before going on hormone replacement therapy, then that is exactly what puberty blockers are for. Leuprorelin prevents puberty so that the kid can figure themself out for a year or two, and then make sure they go through the correct puberty. Even if they decide not to be transgender in the end, they can just go off leuprorelin and start puberty.

Consider whether you want just Chinese numerals, or also Arabic (normal) numerals in the corner.

Consider which style of mahjong it will be used for. Depending on the style, there are different numbers of total tiles included in the set.

The feel of the tiles might matter to you, but unfortunately that may be difficult to judge when buying online.
