My thought is that the huge decrease in screening during the pandemic is leading to more cases being caught now that things have resumed normal.
Its kind of nice to see a “by race” article showing that race is really not showing to be a factor in this study, every line looks the same.
This is just to avoid becoming the dumping ground for previous gen tech.
If sunrise and sunset is your thing then the website suncalc.net works great to find what places will have the best views for different times of year.
I go watch the sunset as part of my solstice and equinox adventures so finding new places with nice views is fun.
I use the AR tool for sun positions every time I’m finding a tent spot or to watch a sunrise/set, and the bubble level is perfect for finding a tent spot that isn’t tilted 2 degrees towards your head so you wake up with a headache.
I have a huge number of content filters, basically stopping just short of blocking the words “left” and “right” but trying to block everything else political.
What I wish I could find a way to do is pick by post language - I have nothing against a user/community, I just don’t speak (usually) German.
I had a 3 day paddling adventure planned but a partner with the sniffles and way more rain than called for had other ideas. Now it’s VR, sewing, make soup and a shorter day trip when it clears up on Sunday.
Do they count audiobooks? Is it about consuming the content of the book or the delivery system?
None of these policies address that life is too expensive and difficult for people now for them to think about having kids…telling struggling people things will only get half as worse once they have children isn’t motivating anybody.
From my therapist: In the absence of a crystal ball the best predictor of someone’s future behavior is their past behavior.
When google asked if I wanted to try Gemini I gave it a try and the first time I asked it to navigate home, something I use assistant for almost daily, it said it can’t access this feature but we can chat about navigating home instead - fuck that!
Even though I switched back to assistant it’s still getting dumber and losing functionality - yesterday is asked it to add something to my grocery list(in keep) and it put it on the wrong list, told me the list I wanted doesn’t exist, then asked if I wanted to create the list and then told me it can’t create it because it already exists.
I’ve talk to more logical toddlers!
The first wedding I ever attended was my own…and I was 35. I somehow had friends & family who didn’t get or were already married my entire life.
Still never been to a birth or a funeral.
It really depends on what I’m doing to elicit the comment - I’m often doing silly things, getting enthusiastic about stuff, exploring my environment and other things vaguely “childish” and so would consider cute to be a compliment.
Coming with no context it’s neutral, way better than being called sexy but generally my appearance doesnt need comment.
If I’m upset, or being professional, or an authority than being called cute is 100% and insult.
Yes, a line graph showing residents vs visitors by month would tell a much more meaningful story.
I don’t feel like the government should be matching donations to a private organization…it’s the f-ing government - either just go help people who need help because they’re your people or contract with red cross to do the helping for you with accountability for the job they do.
Matching private money, hoping its enough to help where they obviously see it’s needed, and putting no accountability on the recoever of the money to do anything specific with it is not how to deal with disasters! PR Garbage.
It’s okay to be curious about the world - wanting to understand is not the same thing as wanting to judge or prevent.
I pull my card out to tap, though it’s just habit from pre-tap and I probably wouldn’t need to. I leave NFC off on my phone or it tends to keep detecting my cc and chime.
Friends girlfriend lent me her hiking shoes when I picked him up to go hiking having forgotten mine.
Payment was down at a hardware store and the manager just let me walk out with the $7 of screws I needed to finish my project that day
My EDC is
A pixel phone with a case on it, in the case I tuck my driver’s licence and one credit card. I have a wallet app on the phone for all other cards I might need.
Keychain is a carabiner and short piece of webbing holding 2 house keys, car fob, mini knife and mini flashlight.
The keys clip onto bra strap and go inside my shirt and phone tucks into bra. Definitely not a fella :P
I’ve never tried to have what I would call a conversation, but I use it as a tool for both fixing/improving writing and for writing basic scripts in autohotkey, which it’s fairly good at.
It’s language models are good for removing the emotional work from customer service - either giving bad news in a very detached professional way or being polite and professional when what I want is to call someone a fartknocker.
Almost 40, comfortably established with no kids, so life is overall pretty easy.
I got into audiobooks on Libby and have gotten through about 400 in the last 4 years. I listen while I’m driving and sometimes while doing chores, but mostly I listen while hiking or paddling - on a weekend backpacking trip I can get through 3-5 books.
My books are almost all what I would call “human adjacent non-fiction” - science and information related to people and the planet, but I don’t find deep science like quantum physics relatable enough to be interesting.
I love to read and learn and wish more people wanted to talk about books, but book people and outdoor people don’t overlap that much.
