I’ve known people with severe food allergies, so I empathize with the caution needed in their everyday lives, but I’m pretty sure this woman went overboard. Which is a bit odd, considering she was 27 years old, which makes me suspect she’s dealt with this allergy for many years and should be used to having to deal with non-allergic people around her.
<h2>Abstract</h2>
<h2>Objective</h2>
<p>To explore demographic predictors of Emergency Department (ED) utilization among youth with a history of suicidality (i.e., ideation or behaviors).</p>
<h2>Methods</h2>
<p>Electronic health records were extracted from 2017 to 2021 for 3094 8–22 year-old patients with a history of suicidality at an urban academic medical center ED in the Mid-Atlantic. Logistic regression analyses were used to assess for demographic predictors of ED utilization frequency, timing of subsequent visits, and reasons for subsequent visits over a 24-month follow-up period.</p>
<h2>Results</h2>
<p>Black race (OR = 1.45, 95% CI = 1.11–1.92), Female sex (OR = 1.59, 95% CI = 1.26–2.03), and having Medicaid insurance (OR = 1.71, 95% CI = 1.37–2.14) were associated with increased utilization, while being under 18 was associated with lower utilization (<12: OR = 0.38, 95% CI = 0.26–0.56; 12–18: OR = 0.47, 95% CI = 0.35–0.63). These demographics were also associated with ED readmission within 90 days, while being under 18 was associated with a lower odds of readmission.</p>
<h2>Conclusions</h2>
<p>Among patients with a history of suicidality, those who identify as Black, young adults, patients with Medicaid, and female patients were more likely to be frequent utilizers of the ED within the 2 years following their initial visit. This pattern may suggest inadequate health care access for these groups, and a need to develop better care coordination with an intersectional focus to facilitate utilization of other health services.</p>

At this point, I only keep Chrome around for the odd website that only works on Chrome. It’s astonishing how quickly Google is burning through good will lately.
So I’ve been noticing most of the cashiers at big supermarket keep asking customers to use self checkout but little do they know that these numbers are being recorded and once executive of that big supermarket see customers have learnt to use self checkout then they will get rid of cashiers and replace with the self checkout....
in that vein, I find it odd that some businesses that could really use self checkout aisles dont have them - like Target - they’re always understaffed and there’s always long lines. like, just install some self checkout machines already, jeez.
I’ve switched on Desktop a year ago. Also with Android. But Firefox on Android has an odd bug that I cannot get rid of. Pages are really slow to load on initial render. I’ve noticed it gets stuck on the SSL cert verification step, sometimes around 5 to 10 seconds before it starts painting the page.
I’ve tried disabling all add-ons, logging out of Firefox sync, disabling the built in HTTPS everywhere, and literally any custom settings I’ve added. But I can’t get past this issue and seemingly no one else has it.
My only counter argument is that the verge article should also have stuck to the failures/defect, and either not mentioned their own dataloss, or at least mention possible mitigation strategies. I understand not everyone can do proper backups, but the verge can, and they should lead by example.
As for a comment on the actual drive defect, this is probably one of those cases where you want to insist on a refund. If the problem is as widespread as claimed, then getting a new defective drive doesn’t really help. WD/sandisk should just be recalling and refunding all devices. It’s odd that tech stuff never seems to have recalls in the same way that cars do? They seem to just rely on individual RMAs.
So I’m very new to linux gaming. I swapped like last month and I’ve really been enjoying how well everything I’ve tried on Steam just works these days....
Freelancer’s installer has had some issues with Linux in the past, it actually uses a couple of really odd side effects of Windows API calls as part of its functionality - which has caused issues on actual Windows as well for some people.
If you’re using Lutris, my suggestion is to use the add new game button in the interface - the plus in the top-left, and choose “Install a Windows game from an executable”, then you’ll get a perfectly clean prefix for that part.
And I’m also going to take the opportunity to add a link to Librelancer, an open-source remake of the Freelancer engine which has been going on for a while, not quite yet to the point where it can play the campaign though.
I’ve had the original Pixel, the Pixel 4a 5G, and the Pixel 7a.
The only reason I ditched my 4a 5G was because my cell service seemed to be degrading (which was odd, because it was 5g).
Now that I have the 7a, I can honestly say I’m disappointed in its battery life. My 4a 5G could last 36 hours on a charge, even 3 years into ownership. My 7a seems to get down to 15% consistently by the time I get to bed each day.
I’ve had Google phones since the Nexus line and all the odd numbered Pixels to include the 7 Pro. My wife has used the Samsung Note (I forget which versions) and is using the Samsung Fold now. I definitely like the Pixel line better than the Samsung phones she’s used primarily because of the monthly updates and a few features like call screening (you can even hear the person on the line while the Google message is playing to hear what they may be saying before you pick up or send them to VM) and call holding (the phone will monitor the call when I’m on hold and alert me when a person gets on the line.). The Pixel camera is pretty good, but I have to admit I like the Samsung Fold camera a little better.

Essentially, it looks at why conservatives vs. liberals approach the world differently. Democracy vs. capitalism is inherently a logical contradiction; in a true democracy, everyone is treated equally and all voices have equal weights. In capitalism, some people are more equal than others - it's a pyramid. Fascism is when these "some people are better" is because of something like genetics, or culture. (The video doesn't touch on this, but modern Communism falls into the same trap as well, where "some people are better" because they know the party leaders or they're technocrats. It's a mindset that humans have and not something exclusive to capitalism.)
Where you wind up on the American political spectrum is based on where you fall when the ideals of equality vs. hierarchy clash. There is no middle ground because the two are fundamentally incompatible - if everyone was truly treated equally, you couldn't have people with more power/status than others. If you accept that not everyone should wield power and that at the end of the day there must be some rich and some poor - some that have power and others that do not - then you are therefore arguing that people shouldn't be treated equally. From there, the pyramid structure is the natural order of things ("always a bigger fish").
Because the structure is fundamentally at odds with itself you can't have both at once. You have to compromise on one side more than the other. Hence there is no such thing as "apolitical", even with technology - it will hold a bias one way or the other.
I’m supposed to prove a negative? Do you want me to show a video of games crashing
Games that scale up with play (more players, growing environments, etc) tend to use more RAM over time, and especially such games with mods benefit from more RAM.
Anno, various building/construction games like Cities, Arm, DCS, Warzone whatever. Plenty of games will run with 8-16GB but run better with more. Yes, you can play the game with the “required” specs but that doesn’t mean they run great, and CPU/GPU isn’t always the bottleneck in larger environments.
I played through GoW on Deck but it definitely had a memory leak that would cause crashing after a bit. More RAM would have extended the play time despite that issue, and I’ve a couple other titles where the odd crash is likely for similar reasons.
I have a fairly old router that doesn’t support gigabit. I also have a network switch that does support gigabit.

I’ve read a lot of mixed reviews for Mikrotik. Does yours run hot at all?
It’s a bit different to work with than “usual” brands, but they have all the features you could ever hope for and then some and with my experience over the years they’ve been very reliable and stable. They have a bit odd models around which have only few 1G ports and the rest are 100M and things like that, but I’ve been really happy with the 4011 I have.
The model I have now runs at about 40C and it’s been on the edge of my network for 4-5 years now without any issues.
I worked in the computer and camera department of a local Circuit City a few years before they went out of business. We sold everything from your basic pocket digital camera up to some comparably expensive entry level DSLRs. We were trained to talk to our customers to get them talking about what their needs were, then show them several models which would fit the bill. Most customers would tell us about how they want to photograph their kids at sporting events, or how they want a camera that they take out for a night on the town (this was just before iPhones were a thing), etc.
One day I had a guy walk up looking at the expensive DSLRs so I introduced myself and asked him what sort of photography he was looking to do. Instead of the usual enthusiastic response, he seemed really uninformed and uninterested. He just knew he wanted the best camera we had. This was immediately odd, but I pressed on and went through my spiel about different accessories, like a camera bag, spare batteries, memory cards, lenses, etc. Whatever I offered him, he wanted. Including a telephoto lens that cost as much as the camera.
When it came time to ring him up for something like $1500 worth of merchandise, he produced a standard looking Circuit City credit card. A lot of folks had these, and processing a sale using one in our ancient mainframe point of sale system had a very unique and specific workflow compared to normal credit cards. If I had any doubt in my mind as to what was really going on, it vanished when that fraudulent card appeared on my screen not as a circuit city store charge but as a typical Visa. I froze for a split second, which I’m sure he noticed. We were also trained not to confront or try to stop criminals, and for all I knew this guy standing 2 feet behind me was ready to shank me before grabbing the goods and running for the door. So I processed the transaction and let him go on his merry way. The floor manager was MIA and didn’t find out what happened for at least an hour. Nothing ever came of it. I don’t think they even tried to check the tapes.
Eh, it also depends on where you live. I don’t know what it’s like over there, but we have an addiction crisis where I live. People steal many odd things, sometimes because they like them, sometimes to sell them, and other times because they hatch a crazy plan that they give up on halfway through.
We definitely have certain people that are regularly kicked out of stores due to prior misbehaviour. (Assult, theft, biohazard stuff, etc.) Sometimes there’s only so much that you can deal with from the same person, you know? It can get to the point where you just ban someone.
There’s a furniture store that is never open that I go by a lot which I find odd, but I don’t know if it’s shady. We literally do have Mafia in my city though.
I remember news about that. It was in Campinas - there was a huge capybara population boom.
That city is in a specially bad spot for this sort of disease because it’s heavily populated like Curitiba, but unlike Curitiba it has a huge rural area. Like, you walk in Barão Geraldo neighbourhood and it’s booming, then you walk a bit more and suddenly you’re in the middle of nowhere. The odds of infecting livestock that infects people are fairly high, and with the demographic density in Campinas proper you get it from person to person.
Still better to do what the OP did though. If you want to hug the oversized rodents, make sure that there’s people taking care of them, and ensuring that they’re OK.
Prodigy is surprisingly good. It does skew a bit younger but it does have that Star Trek feel.
But I agree SNW and Lower Decks are great.
It’s odd because to me lower decks feels the least like and the most like a Star Trek show… Somehow they walk that line really well.
There are a lot of GOP-controller legislatures in the USA pushing through so-called “child protection” laws, but there’s a toll in the form of impacting people’s rights and data privacy. Most of these bills involve requiring adults to upload a copy of their photo ID.
I do find it odd, too. Like, so many things feel off in the photo. Not only the hair and the blur, but the cat is literally posing for the camera, as well as the soldier whom, by the way, looks stunning in their uniform and make-up. I’m not declaring it is AI generated, but I don’t think it’s a “baseless” proposition.
Anyway, peace for Ukraine and Russia can’t come fast enough.
Larian is a fantastic company, Divinity original sin 1 and 2 both got massive free updates in the enhanced edition and definitive editions respectively, not to mention the mod-like grab bags they released. They’re great and I’m so oddly proud of their massive success with bg3
