You have to pay for health insurance? When I heard US residents had to get insurance through their work I assumed employers would actually provide the insurance, not just give you the chance to pay for it yourself… We have free healthcare here and my employer still for some reason provides us with free health and dental insurance.
You guys need a revolution. You’re getting charged more because that’s what you as a country allow them to do.
“Jaywalking” is mostly a US thing made up by car companies to victim-blame pedestrians when they were killed by cars so they could avoid regulation themselves. Where I am we were taught very early in school how to safely cross a road safely, and pedestrians waiting to cross or already crossing a road generally have right of way even when no signals exist. It’s only an issue in backwards countries where cars have more rights than people and cities are designed for them instead.
I cross without a signal daily because otherwise I’d have to walk all the way around the block to get to a crossing going the opposite direction from where I’d want to go then find a way to circle all the way back at other crossings. That would make leaving the house more than a little inconvenient, especially since everything I’d need is in walking distance so I rarely drive. To my knowledge I have not been killed by a car a single time.
Edit: Thanks for the downvote, doesn’t change the facts.
The very word jaywalk is an interesting—and not historically neutral—one. Originally an insult against bumptious “jays” from the country who ineptly gamboled on city sidewalks, it was taken up by a coalition of pro-automobile interests in the 1920s, notes historian Peter D. Norton in his book Fighting Traffic. “Before the American city could be physically reconstructed to accommodate automobiles, its streets had to be socially reconstructed as places where cars belong,” he writes. “Until then, streets were regarded as public spaces, where practices that endangered or obstructed others (including pedestrians) were disreputable. Motorists’ claim to street space was therefore fragile, subject to restrictions that threatened to negate the advantages of car ownership.” And so, where newspapers like the New York Times once condemned the “slaughter of pedestrians” by cars and defended the right to midblock crossings—and where cities like Cincinnati weighed imposing speed “governors” for cars—after a few decades, the focus of attention had shifted from marauding motorists onto the reckless “jaywalker.”
Brine pools, it’s much saltier water which doesn’t mix with the water around it.
I’m not sure how that’s relevant? If the default folder was “Camera” or “Pictures” or whatever else your malware would just scan those directories and any real attack likely already does. You’ve only described how having malware on your machine compromises your machine, not exactly a groundbreaking revelation.
Windows hasn’t been my main os for a while but I’m fairly certain you can mount/unmount drives without rebooting. That’s certainly the case on Linux, and my distro definitely tells me what processes are locking drives when applicable.
Regurgitating unverified AI output is not useful. I asked chatgpt, it’s from Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. Oh, it doesn’t appear in that show? Sorry, it’s actually Amazing World Of Gumball. Not there either? Sorry, it’s actually a werewolf from an obscure animation Scary Larry. Not even remotely the same at style? That’s because it’s actually from this 3d animation. Obviously 2d? Sorry, it’s actually Midnight Mass. Then it got stuck in a loop.
I’ve never thought of it that way but you’re absolutely right, getting kicked out of one niche internet community is literally the same thing as genocide! Nobody has ever had it worse than this guy.
On your end there’s not much to consider here. You can let them know they refunded the entire order, chances are they’ll just write it off. If they ask you to send it back it should be entirely at their expense, do not pay to send it back.
On their end there’s more going on. It sounds like they charged you for an item they knowingly did not ship then claimed the refund was already in progress when you complained. They also gave you a damaged item and claimed to be unable to refund that, which in most developed countries would be a breach of consumer regulations. This sounds an awful lot like that company is attempting to scam people.
I’m not convinced you understand what transitioning means. You can start transitioning without any medical intervention, and pretty much every trans person does socially transition before medical treatment because there’s really no alternative. When a younger person starts medical treatment, it will consist of puberty blockers. That’s it. Fully reversible, no known long-term side-effects, been used for 50 years for cis kids with precocious puberty. Suggesting that’s in any way equivalent to someone permanently deafening themselves is pretty disgusting, it’s typical terf bullshit and you should really think twice about whatever led you to that opinion.
and trans women aren’t real women
That wasn’t to stir up controversy, that’s just Rowling being a piece of shit. She regularly supports groups aiming to strip rights from people and has openly stated that any money from Harry Potter is a direct endorsement of her abhorrent views. The only ethical move is to boycott anything related to the franchise.
Am I misreading this or are their arguments all complete nonsense? From what I can see in the article they have:
Among the requirements of the DMA is that Apple ensures that headphones made by other brands will work with iPhones. It said this has been a block on it releasing its live translation service in the EU as it allows rival companies to access data from conversations, creating a privacy problem.
Apple said that under the DMA, “instead of competing by innovating, already successful companies are twisting the law to suit their own agendas – to collect more data from EU citizens, or to get Apple’s technology for free”.
It said that rules under the act affected the way it provided users access to apps. “Pornography apps are available on iPhone from other marketplaces – apps we’ve never allowed on the App Store because of the risks they create, especially for children,” it said.
dumb enough to think that something you just thought of without any research is valid and also dumb enough to think sharing that online is a good idea.
Do you know what community you’re posting in?
You can disagree with someone without being an ass, this was uncalled for.
Plenty of words mean the opposite of themselves, so much so that there’s multiple words for it; autoantonym, contranym, or Janus words.
This morning my alarm went off so I turned it off.
I wanted to buy a new console as soon as it was out but they were all out.
Two people were left so I left.
I fought with Bob over chores, but I fought with Bob in the war.
Sort of, but but really. You’re right that historically the daylight hours set an upper limit on the amount of work that can be done per week for most types of work, but that limit is far higher than 8 hours per day over 5 days. The 40 hour work week is based on unions fighting for a 40 hour work week. If it wasn’t for the unions you’d be working all day every day except Sunday, for religious reasons.
That might change over the next few decades too, the current fight is for a 4 day work week and studies are showing promising results there.
I think you’re misrepresenting that a little. It’s not peer reviewed, doesn’t appear to have any researchers names attached at all, doesn’t mention latent demand, and doesn’t at any point consider that there could be other modes of transport. It reads to me like someone trying to sell their road building project.
There’s plenty of examples of software doing this right and displaying each language in the selector in that language, it’s hard to say why they’ve localised it here. Most likely they just didn’t consider how the user interacts with that element and localised it the same way they translate everything else, but that could be down to anyone from the developer habitually running everything through localisation to company policy where they couldn’t get an exception for that element.
You’d have to ask support for whatever software you’re using for more detail, chances are you won’t get anything useful back but if you’re lucky they might fix it.
The question reads like an XY problem, they describe DB functions for data structures so unless there’s some specific reason they can’t use a DB that’s the right answer. A “spreadsheet for data structures” describes a relational database.
But they need rectangular structure. How do they work on tree structures, like OP has asked?
Relationships. You don’t dump all your data in a single table. Take for instance the following sample JSON:
"users": [
{
"id": 1,
"name": "Alice",
"email": "alice@example.com",
"favorites": {
"games": [
{
"title": "The Witcher 3",
"platforms": [
{
"name": "PC",
"release_year": 2015,
"rating": 9.8
},
{
"name": "PS4",
"release_year": 2015,
"rating": 9.5
}
],
"genres": ["RPG", "Action"]
},
{
"title": "Minecraft",
"platforms": [
{
"name": "PC",
"release_year": 2011,
"rating": 9.2
},
{
"name": "Xbox One",
"release_year": 2014,
"rating": 9.0
}
],
"genres": ["Sandbox", "Survival"]
}
]
}
},
{
"id": 2,
"name": "Bob",
"email": "bob@example.com",
"favorites": {
"games": [
{
"title": "Fortnite",
"platforms": [
{
"name": "PC",
"release_year": 2017,
"rating": 8.6
},
{
"name": "PS5",
"release_year": 2020,
"rating": 8.5
}
],
"genres": ["Battle Royale", "Action"]
},
{
"title": "Rocket League",
"platforms": [
{
"name": "PC",
"release_year": 2015,
"rating": 8.8
},
{
"name": "Switch",
"release_year": 2017,
"rating": 8.9
}
],
"genres": ["Sports", "Action"]
}
]
}
}
]
}
You’d structure that in SQL tables something like this:
dbo.users
| user_id | name | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Alice | alice@example.com |
| 2 | Bob | bob@example.com |
dbo.games
| game_id | title | genre |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | The Witcher 3 | RPG |
| 2 | Minecraft | Sandbox |
| 3 | Fortnite | Battle Royale |
| 4 | Rocket League | Sports |
dbo.favorites
| user_id | game_id |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 2 |
| 2 | 3 |
| 2 | 4 |
dbo.platforms
| platform_id | game_id | name | release_year | rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | PC | 2015 | 9.8 |
| 2 | 1 | PS4 | 2015 | 9.5 |
| 3 | 2 | PC | 2011 | 9.2 |
| 4 | 2 | Xbox One | 2014 | 9.0 |
| 5 | 3 | PC | 2017 | 8.6 |
| 6 | 3 | PS5 | 2020 | 8.5 |
| 7 | 4 | PC | 2015 | 8.8 |
| 8 | 4 | Switch | 2017 | 8.9 |
The dbo.favorites table handles the many-to-many relationship between users and games; users can have as many favourite games as they want, and multiple users can have the same favourite game. The dbo.platforms handles one-to-many relationships; each record in this table represents a single release, but each game can have multiple releases on different platforms.
Usually no, unless I’ve left a reply disagreeing then someone else comes along and downvotes them, makes me look like an ass who downvotes anyone I disagree with. I also check my own comments to see if people agree with me but I’ll keep the comment up either way, if I do change my mind I’d rather leave a new comment or add stuff in an edit.
It’s not too difficult to bot votes on lemmy so they’re even more pointless than they are on reddit.
A sect is a sub-group of people unified by beliefs or practice, a denomination is essentially just a large named sect. Christianity is not monolithic and organises into groups, it by definition has sects.
Even if you were right it’s such a ridiculously pointless and pedantic argument, it does nothing to further the conversation. You’re just trying to use cheap gotchas as a thought-terminating cliche. The only thing you’ve done is to force us to literally argue semantics, that is not a good look for you.
For completeness, here’s a Christian source using the word sect to describe Christian groups, one of the top search engine hits when I searched.
