Throwing my vote in for Gauss.

Everything about this is so messed up that the incompetent, lazy cop is the least surprising part.

The animorphs series is getting intense.

Here’s my comments on it being a mostly normal user of Windows.

1. Creating a local account was a pain - 100% true. I’ve done it. It’s annoying and it’s pain to remote into as well. There’s a very small set of people who care about though.
2. Google Passkeys will not work - I have it working. I don’t remember it being too difficult and put the difficulty on my inability to execute it well. Saving passkeys are easy now.
3. An email client that really frustrated me - what in the actual fuck. This doesn’t belong here.
4. Natural scrolling is so unnatural - I don’t know what this is. It’s either that I use it and it’s natural, I don’t use it because it wasn’t turned on automatically, I used it and have change my norm to fit it
5. Ads? Are you kidding me? - I’ve never noticed an ad. I don’t use the start menu often, but it’s not never. I also use Pro so they may not be there.
6. Save As defaults to OneDrive? Why? - This is stupid that MS does this. I get why it works for them and I can even see the reasoning for having on by default for the average user, but ask first.
7. Windows 11 uses so many resources - Yes.
8. Virus and threat protection - another fail for MS. This should be a no brainer.
9. Power and battery options - It does suck that it doesn’t detect that it isn’t a laptop. Pretty easy fix, but it would be better if it detected it

Three big problems if ads is becoming a thing. Three medium problems. One small, one you, and one what the fuck.

I’ve heard there can be a lot of bullying by well established nurses against new nurses.

I’m a little sad that everyone’s focused on the coconut and missing the reference to the naked man who lives in a barell trolling the father of western philosophy.

Also not a nut.

You need to look at the article. That’s not my problem.

Edit: You edited in GDP per capita =! GDP per capita PPP after I posted my reply. What in the living fuck is wrong with you!

You’re confusing nominal us dollars and adjusting for price and inflation, or what the OECD calls Purchasing Power Parity (PPP). This is what the article uses and is more meaningful than nominal gdp per capita.

Here’s another source. Also uses the OECD’s PPP.

"In 1995 Poland’s GDP per capita was $13,600 in today’s money — about 36 per cent of Britain’s and roughly the same as Brazil’s. Today Poland’s figure is $44,500, or 81 per cent of ours. "

Also some discussion about this on r/labrats if anyone wants to go over to the forbidden site:

I went. It was a mistake. Most comments were about how this post was written by ChatGPT followby how they’d love to have 34 publications. There were a couple taking about what you wrote, but I think your comment captures the best of it.

Some other mathematicians took another set of work by Cox and created the Cox Ring.

Sysinternals is also a great tool. Not as vital for the average user though.

Grow the fuck up and start thinking like an adult and not a horny little boy. Oh uncomfortably hot sweaty woman… She must want me because boobs. Jesus.

Is this what the British mean by “taking the piss”? Are we friends yet?

I love the corruption of the saying to give us the name. Reminds me of “Goodbye” being a corruption of “God be with ye”.

Doctors regularly Google stuff. Their training isn’t in memorizing everything, but in contextualizing data, making decisions based upon the evidence and risk, and communicating that decision to the patient in a way that the patient can understand while allowing the patient to maintain bodily autonomy.

When patients Google symptoms they have no understanding of the disease, it’s prevalence in the community, it’s long term effects, and it’s risk profile. It’s why medicine uses scientific data to make decisions but not a science itself.

It’s amazing that if you acknowledge that:

1. AI has some utility and
2. The (now tiresome and sloppy) tests they’re using doesn’t negate 1

You are now an AI evangelist. Just as importantly, the level of investment into AI doesn’t justify #1. And when that realization hits business America, a correction will happen and the people who will be effected aren’t the well off, but the average worker. The gains are for the few, the loss for the many.
