O positive is the most common blood type, and apperently O-neg folk can handle O-pos once, so O-pos is generally the most commonly used for a crisis. Source: MD partner just checked openevidence Edit: O-pos is 40% of the population, O-neg is 6%, so they prefer to use O-pos. The real risk is just not having enough blood. Reading more, some 2019 source says only 1 in 2 million O-neg would die from O-pos blood. So really, almost everyone can use O-pos

Honestly, I think it's that simple.

Is this another case of subsidizing the product to sell the data? Information over each individuals driving habits, audio from the car, connection to the phone. Could be valuable to the CCP.

Anyone with a Steam Deck looking for a deckbuilder roguelike with a great story, look at Inscryption. The game is a roller coaster, and great on deck.

I'm inordinately interested in your solution here. For all of our sakes, make a post about it.

Try starting with LazyVim! It has a great selection of plugins pre-set, and it all works out of the box. It's a great way to get started, and then you can add/remove plugins later on. Also, it's keymap-shortcut page is great for the first week or so of learning the commands.

I think that many people in this situation may work or have things to sell. This position is sometimes like a rapid decline, not a permanent state of being. Plus drugs are cheap, $20 could get you high all day.

I can speak to the value of a community fridge, I've been helping pick up food donations once a week for the past few years. Our town has a few locations downtown and a small network of people manage them (I'm only there to help with heavy boxes). The fridges are all posted outside of churches, which provide electricity and extra storage space, and it's mostly retired folk who handle the logistics. Whenever we run into someone who's there to pick up food, they're always so thankful (if they want to talk, some people aren't comfortable interacting). We often hear of medical issues putting people out of work, families having to take in kids from other places, and all manner of difficult situations.

Here's a short impact assessment from 2019 with some numbers (not my town). But these places end up having hosts of network affects that benefit their communities.

On the topic of fiction, I've been reading a book my partner recommended "A Psalm for the Wild Built". They described it as "happy nature sci-fi, something called solarpunk. I think you'd like it" lol. It's an easy read, a story set in the far future about a tea monk on an adventure with low stakes and pleasant wordbuilding. It's very welcome comfort right now. I'll check out !fiction[email protected], if anyone has suggestions for other relaxed-type solarpunk reads, I'm very eager to hear them!

It def looks cooler, whatever that's worth

Honestly same, even this replay I hesitated before sending.

Iirc, №10 of the Federalist papers is specifically about how an overly strong federal government would lead to a 2 faction system, suggesting that the smaller states could more easily maintain multi-faction representative groups. But over the centuries, the federal government has become more proportionally powerful, which is a fact I'm sure all the non-monarchists would be horrified by.

For anyone thinking about watching this video, it's GREAT, and has a ton of other interesting tech videos on the channel.

A while back someone recommended this as a solid assembly puzzle game. It's under 5$ https://store.steampowered.com/app/370360/TIS100/

Yea, this is a surprisingly good read, and it covers a pretty wide breadth of topics.

This article mentions "writing by hand" but I've gotten a lot of value out of using project specific markdown files for keeping track of project info, logging discussions and decisions, and generally keeping a small knowledge base. These have been wildly useful for remembering small details and project histories, and if you sync them between devices, you always have access to your project notes!

I mean that's a great day, you should write that down for posterity!

My experience from an R1 university (research focused) is that most of the professors didn't primarily want to teach, but instead to focus on research, while teaching was what they did to make their salary. They were usually happy to teach a few courses, and especially upper level courses focused on their area of expertise, but the main goal was getting funding to pursue research, and that usually comes from (or is distributed through) some public institution.
