I think Tri-Health is a racketeering front.
They continuously bill me for the same things.
I have to keep track of every payment like a beast and once they threaten to send me to collections, I email the receipts, every bill in image with the date paid and every canceled check.
I'm no longer nice about it.
The only words in my email: Stop double billing me.
Next time, maybe I will just write, "Fraud."
Our Healthcare system is broken.

So it is finally time for the tale of Mowis "Patty" Burwic. Sometimes in a Rimworld run I get invested into a particular character that becomes the main character. Patty took on that role for this game.
Early on, the colony was doing horribly. It was about surviving until the gravship could be obtained and there were many complications. One colonist died due to injuries that couldn't be patched up in time. Patty joined during this time, saving the colony with her fast learner trait. Despite being a xenophobe, she quickly became best friends with Jessie.
Jessie was the only person she'd ever fully befriend during her time on the Rim, as some time after Patty joined, Jessie was kidnapped by the Rakkle-led Valentina's Rakkle Incubating Plant pirate faction. Only later would Patty learn through interrogating another raiding group that her friend had been unceremoniously killed. No chance to save her.
And so Patty broke. She delved into advancing her shooting skills, and took a mechlink when the gravship was built. She built more and more mechs along with turrets. She had her entire body filled with cybernetics and bionics. She explored the world to find the mechhive. Once the mechhive was taken, she claimed its power for herself, becoming a queen of sorts to the mechs (thanks to a mod that adds allying the faction to the ending). She used it to destroy the entire faction for revenge. It took a lot of work and time but she finally got revenge for her only true friend she lost that long time ago.
For reference on time, the time since the game started seems to be ~10.5 years, and the real playtime is 55 hours. Odyssey DLC is really fun.
Even though I just finished this run the other day I'm already feeling like I want to start another Rimworld run with some gimmicky idea. Odyssey is a curse, it has single-handedly given me a new fascination with the game. No wonder Vinny "Melpert" Vinesauce immediately started his Odyssey run the same day his Anomaly run was finished, it's just that addicting.
Some part of me wants to do a space station run after claiming a station with life support units for myself, some part of me wants to do a high difficulty commitment run, some part of me wants to do a run where I say screw it and have fun with dev tools to make something cool, it can go on.
Though I still haven't picked up Anomaly for the Ratkin Research Foundation™ that will absolutely not end terribly for all Ratkin involved. That's locked in for what I'll do whenever I pick up Anomaly.

Researchers have formulated a "second law of entanglement manipulation," an analog to the second law of thermodynamics. They proved that, with the help of an "entanglement battery," entanglement can be manipulated reversibly. This finding offers a new framework for efficiently manipulating quantum resources for future technologies like quantum computing.

MARKET DESTRUCTION!
China has bought a total of $0 dollars of new crop soybeans from the United States.
China is turning to Brazil and other emerging markets for their soybean needs.
American farmers worked for 40 years to develop their China soybean market. Donald Trump has destroyed the market entirely.
The excess soybeans will put downward pressure on a price market that is already low.
Meanwhile, farmers have record high production costs.

🚨 THREAD | "Ce n’est pas normal d’avoir des os décalcifiés à 20 ans" : la cycliste Cédrine Kerbaol tire la sonnette d’alarme sur un dopage par la maigreur dans le cyclisme féminin. Un cri du cœur nécessaire. ⬇️
1/ Dans le peloton du Tour de France Femmes, certaines coureuses apparaissent à un niveau de maigreur inquiétant.
Médecins et nutritionnistes alertent : ce n’est pas du sport santé, ce sont des dérives dangereuses.
2/ Pourquoi certaines coureuses mettent leur corps en danger ?
Parce que réduire le poids augmente le rapport poids/puissance. Mais ce "gain" de performance se paie au prix fort :
➡️ Perte de règles
➡️ Déminéralisation osseuse
➡️ Risques de fractures
➡️ Troubles psy
i saw that crimethinc's demonstrator's guides were gaining traction (again) on here, so i decided to format them into one collection and printed off 30 of them to share.
i'm an amateur, so these are not publishing house quality -- but hey, they work fine, and the info and pictures are all there.
includes very detailed info on:
helmets, goggles, masks, armor, various police tactics and tools, blockades, lockdowns, and banners.
if you would like one, send me a direct message or email with a mailing address and i'll send one -- it's only ~$4 to ship, so i'm willing to cover the cost myself. if you're in the portland, oregon area, please arrange for a drop off or pick up.
email: fallrise@riseup.net

Capitalism isn't freedom. It isn't trade. It isn't competition. It isn't the rule of law. It isn't markets. It isn't the absence of a centrally-planned economy. It sure as fuck isn't democracy.
Capitalism is capital being in charge. It is the organization of society around the interests of capital, which are further consolidation and the generation of profits.
Anything positive you associate with capitalism is an accident of history.

"Nice work! You’ve graduated from Big Tech engineer to A.I. start-up chief executive. You probably live in an A.I. hacker house, and left a cushy salary at Meta or Google for the promise of millions in equity if your company eventually gets acquired…by Meta or Google."

I just sent out volunteer notifications for @pancakescon. Thanks to everyone who offered to help!! I really need a few things for this conference to succeed:- More CFP submissions.
- Village submissions
- We are still seeking a CTF provider.
- Prize sponsors.Please feel free to message me. This is entirely a community effort with zero budget. It only succeeds if people help out.
