I also made a killer chocolate banana bread.
I also golfed and hand watered the lawn and did laundry.

William Donald (USouthampton) explains why cutting PIP payments is not the right way to 'encourage' the disabled into work.... and suggests a better approach:
reverse the PIP eligibility changes;
hold employers accountable for removing systemic barriers to work;
increase disabled representation in decision-making;
integrate health & social care;
pay carers better!
But of course, this would require a very different government would it not?
The locals have been copacetic for decades and now these multinational corporations have polluted the structure instilling the emerging kill the people that are growing our food, it is beyond ludicrous. It gives pause to wonder if this is yet another globalist plot to reign in on our food supply for a means to great control. So much evil in our world is coming out of Geneva that has been prophesied as the seat of Satan .
What about first try to educate yourself on Banking blockage, Wikileaks bypassing banking sanctions, Iran merchants using crypto to pay for containers merch because of USA sanctions, and not your tiny-scoped “what-about-my-coffe”?.. Wikileaks in 2012 witnessed what it is to have a ban on all sources of payments to fundrise organizations exposing war crimes and government corruption, if you are unaware of that and how bitcoin solved that, you are simply uninformed. Russia had frozen billions of US Dollars by having sanctions where “officialism” says who are the bad guys and who the good ones, (you do not see that same frozen funds happening with war crimilnal Zionist State)… if you "can only think of 3 reasons" and those are some narratives already debunked in Monero community, educate better regarding Bitcoin, NOT CRYPTO, Bitcoin and self-hosting value, One is not going around saying knifes are useless because "i can only think they serve for stabbers and crazy murders that can use those tools to commit crimes, so knifes must be useless", unless you are really aware on what it means to have descentralized value hosted in a non-third party entity, what it means to have a system of transactional value that no government can ban when they think you are exposing them.....well only then one can certainly start to give an opinion regarding the subject. not before that.
Just for the record on this old thread. Don't be this anonymiss folk, educate first, then elaborate opinion, calling terror and crime a descentralized technology is something to be ashamed of, as if government called diaspora descentralized network "Terror and crime" just because you have alternatives to facebook and x and you cannot get censored, "hey diaspora social network must be 100% terrorism and crime". You simply do not have technological background neither a little of theory regarding money. Here is a hint: Shelling Out: The Origins of Money - Essay by Nick Szabo.
I may not need to be anonymous but I still choose to be. I prefer cash and most of the money that I do get through the bank gets taken out in cash. Most of the money I get for the work I do arrives using USDT TON, i.e. through Telegram. That is quite simply because I tend to be talking to the customer using Telegram and they can just send the money to my account simply by clicking on my name. The transfer is cheaper than a bank. The concept that it is only drug cartels and extortionists that use crypto is simply dumb propaganda due to most people not being able to understand the subject. For many people it is easier, quicker and cheaper.
EU OS: Community-led Proof-of-Concept for a free Operating System for the EU public sector
EU OS is a Proof-of-Concept for the deployment of a Fedora-based Linux operating system with a KDE Plasma desktop environment in a typical public sector organisation. Other organisations with similar requirements or less strict requirements may also learn from this Proof-of-Concept.
It is led by a community of volunteers and enthusiasts. The project goal is to become a project of the European Commission.
Despite the name, EU OS is technically not a new operating system. Distrowatch lists currently over 250 Linux operating systems (‘distributions’) and their various flavours, spins or subvariants are not even counted in. The added value of EU OS is a different one:
a common Linux OS as a base for all EU OS users with options to layer on top modifications (national layer, regional or sector-specific layer, organsation-specific layer)
a common desktop environment
a common method to manage
users and their data
software
devices
The aims of this project are very similar to that of SAOSS (South African Open Source Software) but the advantage of the EU is that there are a number of firmly established OSS implementations already in place in a few countries within their public sector.
In South Africa, most of the initiatives within the public sector have died out, apart from maybe one municipal district in the Eastern Cape. I was part of one initiative in the South African public sector, and it passed with flying colours, but a change of political leadership very quickly killed off the project just one month before it was due for its permanent switch over.
So, I have three vital pieces of advice for any open source project within the public sector, and they have nothing at all to do with the technology:
Strike hard, fast, and with momentum when you have willing political leadership in place. If leadership changes there is a very good chance you could lose your sponsors, because in government a change of leadership does mean a different stance/focus (unlike in the private sector).
Do not take things for granted. A lack of opposition does not mean the private sector is behind you. Quite often with government, the Big Tech proprietary companies will stop engaging with IT managers, and they will engage at a political and non-technical level instead.
Smaller, local companies have a good chance of benefitting from open source when government drives it. You need to get them actively on your side with regard to training, support, customisation, etc. Standardisation is important here as they want to invest their time in one standard suite of products, not a wild west of different competing products. One approach is to involve them in this decision-making. They can still compete to provide the services.
Bike riders say they were given no notice about shutdown and have not been told when route will reopen, leaving many facing long detours or choosing to drive
@ash@bne.socialPiss-poor planning on the City's part for sure. Here in the US bicycles have full rights to the roadways when a dedicated bicycle lane is not available (they have to follow all road laws though). Does something like that not exist in Brisbane? Could bicycle riders just ride in a normal car lane and cross the bridge? Might give the City planners some incentive to open up the paths more quickly if cars are complaining about all this "bike traffic" in "their lanes". 😃
Ah! Didn't realize it was a motorway thought maybe that was a bridge for an A road or B road maybe. Bicycles actually aren't allowed on our motorways/ Interstates over here because there's a minimum speed you have to maintain for safety. Usually 40-45mph (60kmh?)
Yeah... really unfortunate situation for bicycle commuters over there. Poor poor poor city planning.
Like, how can we need Americans to have more babies and not need more immigrants. ...and before you start, yes, I know exactly how... But still, this idea that "other people's babies" can't be the future population of the country is so bizarre to me.
If it was about Christianity over secularism they'd be delighted to have more Latin Americans. If it was about constitutional values like free speech, equality under the law, and democratic governance, they wouldn't be shredding the constitution. So we know it's not those. It's pure racism.
Leave it to #Disney to never pass up an opportunity to continuously milk a franchise every single chance they get.
I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't Disney's attempt to reset the clock on the film's #Copyright term. It's been ... forty-eight years.
Considering that #StarWars was released in 1977, it's Copyright term was under pre-1978 rules which were 28 years initially, then a 67 year extension if the Copyright holder filed for an extension in 2005. That would grant them a Copyright term of 95 years as of today. Let's compare that to what the Copyright term will be for this re-release of StarWars.
Are you sitting down?
It will be for another 120 fucking years! So that's the real reason Disney is re-releasing StarWars. It has nothing to do with the fans, and everything to do with Disney exploiting a #loophole to make the Copyright term for StarWars to be 168 fucking years. (Original 48 years where we are now, plus the additional 120 years they will get when they re-relase the film.)

If your doctor prescribes you medication without discussing with you your diet and lifestyle choices... Then you have a dealer... Not a healer!
Frankly speaking, if you drink soft drinks on a regular basis and eat McDonald's and Burger King and Taco Bell and Krispy Kreme on a regular basis and drink alcohol, then when you get sick you "got what you asked for"... And I feel no responsibility to have to help pay for your treatment if your treatment only includes pharmaceuticals and not changes to diet and lifestyle.
If you cannot take the personal responsibility to eat healthy and get regular exercise, then don't ask me to take financial responsibility for your treatment.-Gary Williams

everyone knows by now that doctors are paid off by insurance companies for vaccination compliance, which is why they try to bully you into taking them. but did you know they're also paid off to NOT give you antibiotics for ACUTE BRONCHITIS?
i could understand perhaps accurate diagnosis of bacterial infection before prescribing antibiotics, which is generally a good thing, although- standard of care throat cultures typically just test for strep and can miss other bacteria, which is why doctors will often just write a script for antibiotics even in the absence of a positive test for bacteria.
but this, just flat out paying them to deny antibiotics, without any sort of qualifiers, is criminal
acute bronchitis is usually a viral infection and antibiotics best case scenario don't do anything and worst case give you c diff/antibiotic resistance lol
@vriska i'm not actually sure about how often it's viral vs bacterial, but what i do know is secondary bacterial infections after viral infections are common. see my subsequent post for my take on it
@vriska i'm aware that not all throat infections are bacterial but having some insurance bureaucrat pay off your doctor to just blanket deny you antibiotics, without any sort of qualifying diagnosis one way or another, is stupid. they should be encouraging better diagnosis not creating an incentive to deny care
@vriska and there's the real problem, you can do a throat culture easily, but determining whether that bacteria (or virus) is causing the infection is tough.
insurance looks at it from a bureaucratic numbers perspective. doctors look at it through their individual experience. who do you trust here? the insurance company or the doctor? i'll take my chances with the doctor especially since i like mine and he's smart enough to know the risks of taking antibiotics unnecessarily.
furthermore in the past i've been able to judge by how it feels, tastes, and visually by looking at the throat, whether there are signs of a bacterial infection.
this incentive discourages doctors using their judgement, even if a good diagnostic test isn't available
Press Release from MODEVITE on the Palenque -San Cristóbal Highway
We, the Tseltal, Tsotsil Indigenous peoples, and the mestizo community, express our opposition to the Palenque–San Cristóbal de las Casas Highway project in Chiapas, and to the construction of the first stretch from Palenque to Ocosingo, as it violates our right to self-determination, to our territory, to live in harmony with nature, and to a healthy, safe, and sustainable environment. We want to make it clear that from its inception, this highway has been a discriminatory, racist, and exclusionary project aimed against those of us who work the land and inhabit the territory.
The Palenque–San Cristóbal de las Casas highway project is not new—it has been proposed since the administration of Chiapas Governor Juan Sabines Guerrero (2006–2012), in collaboration with the Federal Government. Although it has been justified under the guise of “development,” the highway has not been built thanks to the resistance of organized communities that emerged due to the lack of official information and transparency about the project.
In this current administration, the present governor, Eduardo Ramírez, has revived this construction project, and in alliance with the federal government, it has now become one of the most significant projects in the country.
Eduardo Ramírez stated to the media that he would not carry out the construction of the highway without first consulting the people and Indigenous communities. Therefore, on February 17, 2025, the “Guidelines for Conducting Public Consultations Related to Strategic Development Projects in the State of Chiapas” were published in the Official State Gazette, inventing a participation mechanism called a “Public Consultation.”
The so-called “Public Consultation,” according to the government’s published Guidelines, is a mechanism through which people can decide whether or not they agree with the implementation of projects that the government classifies as “strategic development.” These Consultations are overseen by the governor himself and the General Secretariat of Government and Mediation, without including specialized authorities such as the National Institute of Indigenous Peoples (INPI).
Thus, on March 23 of this year, a Public Consultation was held regarding the first stretch of construction—from Palenque to Ocosingo—in the municipalities of Chilón, Salto de Agua, Palenque, and Ocosingo. In this consultation, the authorities did not respect our right to access environmental, social, cultural, or project execution information. The communities were not informed in advance; the invitation was only shared via social media, failing to reach the many communities where there is no cell phone or telephone service. Furthermore, polling stations were only placed in municipal centers—between two and six per location. We witnessed serious irregularities, including people who were not from the municipality being allowed to vote, thus making decisions about land that is not theirs. The true owners of the land, and those most directly affected, were not taken into account.
Once again, the bad government directly discriminates against the Indigenous peoples who inhabit this region. Racism and contempt for Indigenous communities persist, even after the constitutional reform to Article 2, which recognizes our right to consultation and self-determination.
In response to the repeated violations of our human rights, today, March 31, 2025, we have filed two legal injunctions (amparos): one against the guidelines for conducting public consultations, because they are unconstitutional; and another for violating our right to a free, prior, informed, culturally appropriate, and good-faith consultation, which is part of our right to self-determination. We have also decided to exercise our right to petition by submitting requests for information to the Governor of the State, to the Head of the General Secretariat of Government and Mediation, and to the Secretariat of Infrastructure of the State of Chiapas. We demand that they make public the information on the environmental, cultural, and social impacts related to the construction of the Palenque–San Cristóbal highway and the stretch from Palenque to Ocosingo, so that we may freely and informedly decide the future of our territory, ensuring care and respect for our Mother Earth.
Finally, we inform society in general that, based on our right to decide on our own development, the preservation of our cultural and ancestral heritage, our territory, health, equality, self-determination, and autonomy, we—the original peoples—have signed the Declaration of Peoples Free from Megaprojects, a document that represents our collective decision to resist the government’s imposition of a project that violates our rights and threatens the life of our communities.
The land is not for sale—it is cared for and defended.

i have pondered vit D supplementation over the years. one winter recently, i didn't supplement it at all. had some blood work done in the spring and had great levels (recall that i live in north idaho where it's dark at 4pm for almost half the year). this past fall, my level was in the basement.

@jazzilla the whole thing. Academics who don't write their own papers. Editors that don't bother to read. The AI is just exacerbating the pre-existing disease.
@jazzilla If an AI is writing the paper, and including made up citations, that no one catches until after they are selling the thing, then no, I don't trust anything in the paper, and I don't know why anyone else would. I don't know what nano cancer vaccines are, but that's kinda beside the point that this is what passes for scholarship nowadays. "As an AI, I cannot give medical advice." That was in the book. That's the problem I'm on about -- I'm an ontologist, not a oncologist, after all.
