A consultation this week to start hormone therapy

I have R-CPD which is a condition that causes me to not be able to burp typically. I just got a treatment done to enable me to burp, Botox in the upper esophagus to weaken the dysfunctional muscle in there. This means it has been especially hard for me to swallow for the past few weeks while the Botox was at peak efficacy. Now with that said...

The amount of times in the past few weeks I have choked like this is unreal, relatable as hell. Thanks for reading if you stuck around, I know it's uninteresting

So is this like last time a couple years ago when a small outbreak was used as a greedflation excuse? Nationwide

Elon said himself that he did it to kill HSR lmao

No not at all, it'll be available again after a cooldown period of up to like 45 minutes depending on ship size. Meant to simulate insurance buying you a new ship etc etc

Unfortunately you're mistaken, Sora is not Google it's OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman was taking live requests on xitter and posting back the outputs and they were just as impressive as the "cherry picked" video, that's not to say they weren't without issue, but the technology just improves. It's currently worse than at any point in the future, but it will get better

Maybe I'm wrong. I think you're misunderstanding the person you're replying to, and I didn't not get from them did they find it inconvenient to pay a stranger more money because it's a stranger, just saying that they find it to be inconvenient to spend an extra $20 on top of the meal anytime they want delivery and it would probably be better off to go pick it up themselves or make food at home which is what I do. Haven't ordered delivery in months because it's such a waste of money.

That person also never said anything about how "that's somebody's job and they signed up for it" and that was you that brought that into this mix. I don't know why you're getting so offended or pissed off about that comment. They're just saying that paying an extra $20 for delivery is inconvenient and costly.

If you are a driver and you make money from doordash or Uber, you might want to consider getting into a different line of work because those companies are just scamming the hell out of you and there's no need to be so defensive of them.

I myself live in Wisconsin but I should remind you there is more to the world than America and some non-Americans may not make that connection so readily as they may not even know Milwaukee is a place.

No way is driving 5 minutes to pick up food in town worth an hour's wage to me. And on top of saving me fees and tip money for myself I will get my food faster hotter and fresher and it also won't smell of cigarettes. I do not order delivery at this point. I only pick up or make food at home. Delivery is a waste of money

Anyone who believes that stimulus was significant looks like this And they believe candy is still 5¢ lmao

There is a plain kde version that doesn't have all the gamer color flare, forums won't support you tho, which isn't a problem if you know what you're doing

My grumpy 67 yo coworker has been wearing 3 point suspenders for the past week, never seen him wear em before

The idea is that once it's moved by customers to a different section, the store will treat the product as bad and toss it out. Yes you're right more work for the minimum wage guy who has to throw it out now, but the idea is that enough loss on that specific product and the manager may stop ordering that/those brands all together. They might not realize the products are related to Israel, just that the other brands are still selling, so by happenstance, the Israeli dates look inferior due to perceived customer purchasing habits. Eventually they may not be ordered anymore and that affects the parent company in Israel.

It's a really long game, but that's what I gather the goal of that specific protest would be.

I often remind my significant other to participate in mindfulness exercises along side me to take a moment to look at "the bigger picture" what that is for her or for you is in my mind personal. For me I like to just observe everything in my environment, I try not to focus in on any particular feeling or sight or thought etc. One practice that has helped with this immensely has been Chinese Gong Fu Tea. Every weekend my partner and I take about 2 hours to sit and have tea and be observant of our lives and worlds in a way that doesn't focus on any one particular thing. It's almost like meditation, which is something Buddhist monks practice for decades and sometimes never achieve their enlightenment. For you your enlightenment might be achieving that defocused state and becoming more present with what's around you.

Display refresh rates, measured in hertz (Hz), significantly impact the smoothness of motion on screens. A display with a 60Hz refresh rate updates the image 60 times per second, each update representing a frame. Thus, at its maximum capacity, a 60Hz display shows 60 frames in one second. In contrast, a 360Hz display updates its image 360 times per second, allowing for the potential display of 360 frames in the same duration. This rapid succession of frames results in a markedly smoother visual experience, as the human eye perceives motion more fluidly when more frames are displayed per second.

Conversely, a display with a lower refresh rate, like 24Hz, refreshes the image just 24 times per second. This lower frequency results in a more 'choppy' or stuttered visual experience due to the fewer number of frames presented each second.

Analogous to a film projector, increasing the frame rate for smoother motion requires the film to move faster through the projector. However, without additional frames in the source material, this would simply speed up the playback. To maintain normal playback speed while achieving a higher frame rate, the source material must contain more frames. For instance, to sustain standard playback speed on a 360Hz display (which is 6 times faster than a 60Hz display), the source needs to provide six times as many frames per second.

For most people it ends up being one time as your body "learns" how to use that muscle

Not saying that is actually how it will play out, I agree with you that it only actually happens to refrigerated or frozen products (that get discarded when misplaced). That's not to say it doesn't also happen to shelf stable products too and we don't know about it, but I think that is unlikely.

I was just clarifying what I interpreted the original commenters intentions behind said protest would be, not that it would be effective. I believe the interpretation that it's just about messing with low income workers to be not quite what the intention was.

I know this is probably off topic but I'm always stunned in these articles how simple things like this cause peoples (the authors) brains to just meltdown. They seemingly become so helpless when they don't have a screen to tell them what to do and where to go. As a species we have been so heavily spoiled that simple inconveniences are seemingly incomprehensible to people who are surrounded and coddled by technology at every moment.

That's not to say I'm perfect and haven't fallen victim to these things myself, but I at least try to make do and overcome without complaining to the world how hard it is, since it's not hard at all, just a bit inconvenient. At least I'm not making sandals out of discarded tires, shit could be worse than my car not being able to tell me where to go for a few minutes. (Not trying to say people in those conditions live shitty lives, they're just subject to their environments; they very well may enjoy their way of living but from my western, coddled perspective, it sounds subjectively unpleasant and I'm greatful for what I have) /rant

More on topic, it's really sad and unfortunate that so many software based products are shipping in such abysmal and borderline useless states until months after release. Too many things are made now with the presumption that "we just gotta ship it and we'll fix it later". It's annoying as hell but understandable with games, it's not a critical piece of software. A car though? Even if it's the infotainment system it's still awful. I love my '06 car, works great, gets me where I need to go, doesn't harvest my data or relies on a battery to open the door.

I'm reminded of an article from 2015 about how a Jeep could be "hacked" while in motion and the attacker could apply the e-brake or kill the engine. Scary stuff, and with a thousands of pound rolling machine, it better not have such flawed software.

Anyway, I wish we could go back to an engine on wheels and a protective shell, don't need all the "gizmos" so to speak.
