Yeah it’s a shame because there was a time that Toms hardware was so good and often neck and neck with Anandtech in terms of great articles to read, but at some point it became more sensationalist and the line betweens tom’s guide and tom’s hardware blurred (with tom’s guide seeming to take over). There are still nuggets that are okay, but just not like it used to be.
Check your local laws, some states have laws that fertility preservation must be “covered” by insurance when going through treatment that could impact fertility (like starting hormones or chemo). Some healthcare providers/systems do have this down pretty smoothly and might save you some hassle. (Of course you might not be in a place that this applies, but if you are, could be a useful thing to make use of)
*Note: covered doesn’t mean free, still subject to your usual co-pay/deductible, etc.
This one exactly. But don’t lose hope, the word doesn’t really convey figuratively other than online people who mostly sound foolish trying to push buttons. It is usually used as an emphasis when someone wants to say how close to the actual literal situation things were (even if not literally the same). People who use it as “figuratively” are in decline, kind of like people that throw a fit over “moist” and as long as we keep pointing out how ridiculous they are (both moist dramatics and literal confusers) their relevance will continue to fade.
May want to read you own article before posting it…from the article at 11:35, a few minutes after the gunman entered the school…
" Three Uvalde police officers rush to the same door that the gunman used to enter, which was closed. Surveillance footage shows the officers all have pistols, and two of them have rifles. One officer has external armor, and two are wearing concealable armor."
They had armor, pistols and 2/3 had rifles.
This is a tragedy any way you slice it. There is so much gun reform that needs to happen, and police did not handle things well here. People with guns are hard situations to handle, but police handled a bad situation on a way that made it worse.
Coming from RIF (is fun), I find voyager and jerboa to work well on android.
Hahahaha…oh wait you’re serious…BAHAHAHA. Harris didn’t run as a Republican and you know it. And no permutation close to it either. And either you know it or you didn’t actually pay any attention beyond “I saw her on the same stage as Liz Cheney so they must be pulling right”. If you had paid any attention you would see that those last minute inclusions of Republicans was around the threat Trump posed to the country. They got up on stage and literally said that they didn’t agree on most positions, but that the need to keep trump out of office overshadowed party alliance.
And given all that if you were actually progressive (and you know wanting to make progress) and being realistic you would look at the actual options and have seen which was as close as you could get to your preference and votes to move the needle in the right direction. Enough people didn’t do that (or didn’t agree with what I assume are our positions and preferences…very to the left of Trump for myself and presumably many others here) that we ended up with this mess.
There is plenty to learn but “HaRiS RaN As A RePuBlIcAn” is not one of them.
