Woah, that is wild, I hope you did some bug reporting about that, for something to go so insanely wrong it would have to be a fairly bad bug but also hard to find. Cool trick though, "Check this out, Copy ate my Y key, I am without purpose!"

To clarify, those are the default keybindings, but you can change them to match your needs or expectations. I like the alt tilde for windows within a program switching, it works fairly well though I have not set it up on my current machine yet.

Yoghurt with berries can be a good option if the berries are soft, so stewing strawberries and pears can work well.

Gnocchi can be slightly overcooked and can be dimply pressed against the roof of the mouth, no chewing needed.

Protein shakes are awesome, add a little heavy cream and they are filling and tasty.

Congee (essentially thick rice soup) is great, it has very soft meat with no chewing needed and lots of flavour and texture depending on what you add.

Lots of French desserts are good like Crème Brulé, along with things like custard, mousse, and even sticky date pudding. The chewing is optional, the tongue is more than strong enough for these, and adding something like cream can help them smooth out and soften a bit.

Egg in various forms including egg drop soup, boiled egg mashed in a cup with butter, and added raw to rice while the rice is very hot can make for some easy but delicious options.

Nah, as an autistic person who works with many autistic people (I am a support worker), no. Autistic people are able to miss things, mistake social cues, and so on, but blaming autism for a Nazi salute is absolutely bullshit. Not to mention that he has done tonnes of other stuff which is in line with a Nazi salute and this is just the last in a long line of behaviours, and his family history etc, yeah, not autism, just Nazi shit.

What is a CHA score? I can't find something that fits the initialism with any relevance, certainly not a CHADS score (stroke risk).

OK so I can definitely see why it would seem pointless or really narrow, but I think this would have actually been very helpful for me and people like me. I have dyspraxia, a coordination disability. Mine is specifically graphomotor, meaning the exact types of movements involved in writing. My handwriting was absolutely terrible, causing pain in my hands (I also had incomplete hand dominance, so yay, both hands sucked equally), inability to express in a written form, and difficulty with tasks like painting, drawing, sewing, and cooking. Over the years the most helpful things were gaining strength and switching to printing only, no running writing at all.

If this tool could help with increasing the feedback from my hands to my brain and also push my fingers through the shapes of letters I think I would have had some benefit. I think people who have had a stroke may also potentially benefit, though obviously it would need thorough testing.

Do you have an interest in the time of her childhood? Perhaps learning about her experience of how the world has changed? Most people find thinking and talking about the world they remember to be enjoyable and she may have interesting and unique perspectives on things. This can lead to learning about bigotry though, so be cautious, but learning about how the world has changed from her perspective could be very interesting.

The 1960s were a time of massive cultural change and technological advancement, and the 70s were also really cool from a change perspective. Learning how she did things like washing clothes, buying food, learning about something she was interested in, and so on can be really fun.

Once you have spent a little time chatting and maybe having a tea or coffee it can be a regular little social thing you do, and doing the snow shoveling is much easier to accept from someone you know than from a stranger. It would also make it feel safer knowing who you are rather than just some random younger guy.

What do you do with a faulty RAID drive? Early in the morning!

When you were young you didn't have responsibilities and demands on your time. You could spend a few hours with friends hanging out and doing nothing much. You could also go out and have fun, not worrying about dinner or getting things ready for tomorrow too much.

Now you are an adult and have to manage money, washing, dishes, lawns, taxes, and so on, so you are much busier. I think this makes the past seem great by comparison, so you latch on to whatever is obviously different to now and attribute the change to that, however this is not necessarily the cause of the change.

That said, maybe it was better, but for people I care about I would never want things to go backwards, their lives are much better than they were back when I was a kid.

First, that looks amazing, such a cool model.

Second, being as it is on a cutting board I had a moment of thinking it was a cake or chocolate.

I disagree. The current setup is like having the real estate have a key and you have a swipe card. The swipe card let's you into parts of the house but you don't have access to the basement or electrical box. If you wanted access to those you could ask but the real estate basically says no unless they really messed up, and even then they send a tradesperson to do the work and give them the key. If that tradespersons loses the key or gives it to someone else the real estate shrugs and says "What do you want us to do about it? Security is hard."

They also have a contract for all the furniture, most of which is bolted down, so you can't even rearrange your house, let alone install a hand rail in the bathroom for your disabled brother who needs support getting in and out. You also can't install anything on the walls like a TV or a picture frame, and attempting to do so would lead to the possibility of piercing a pipe or cutting a wire in the wall because you don't have schematics.

You can't put a different OS on, you can't modify the one you have, and breaking any of the protections on software is a violation of the DMCA, so you are a renter. You rent the device, they control the features, they decide what parts are available to the public (usually none), they decide when it will be end of life, and they make it very technically difficult to repair anything by using parts pairing. If they sold the device as a subscription with hardware upgrades included, repairs included, ongoing support included, then maybe locking it down would be OK, but otherwise no, it is unreasonable and I don't think we really own our devices in a meaningful sense.

This is simply incorrect. Implementing a lock on a bootloader is not dissimilar to a lock on your house. A person breaking in doesn't care that they are breaking the law, they just need to find the how of breaking in. If I as a consumer want to enter my house or give a copy of my key to someone else as a backup I should be able to do so. If I want to leave my door unlocked I should have that right however foolhardy it is. And when it comes to locking the bootloader of a computer most people won't notice it in general use but that isn't the point. It is about the edge cases, the end of life for the device, the lack of security updates.

 

This study is talking about two groups, one with a target INR of 2.0-2.5 and the other with a target INR of 2.5-3.5. The higher dose is the current standard dose.

The outcomes were extremely close group to group and it looks like the Confidence Interval was greater than 1.5%, so the study was not adequately powered to have confidence of non inferiority. Is that interpretation correct? Obviously the difference in the groups was not large, but it reads to me that they couldn't be sure it was close enough to not be worse with the lower dose, therefore they can't eliminate the possibility that low dose treatment is more dangerous than current dose? If so, would they do another study or would that basically amount to p-hacking? Further thoughts are appreciated.

 

So we're doing breams now?

 

My partner (36 XX) is two months in to very strict carnivore, eating exclusively beef mince and grass fed butter. Total intake is 1-1.5kg been mince and 200-300g butter per day. The only beverage is water or Powerade (sugar free, acesulfame K, sucralose).

Her ketones on a blood meter are consistently low, maxing out at 0.2 mmol/L today. She feels tired, fatigued, and has burning in muscles suggesting lactic acid being elevated.

Just looking to see if anyone has seen something similar and if so what the solution was? Thanks
