So much love

I have the kind of super long and thick hair that gets attention. Most of the compliments I like. I did after all use a lot of effort and time growing and taking care of it.

Once, at work, I got approached by a guy with a fetish for long, reddish hair. He proceeded to tell me how great of a boyfriend he'd be, how he'd wash and brush and take such good care of my hair. I was disgusted. And that disgust got associated with my hair. It took a couple of days for that disgust to fade and during it I did not like my hair.

If that kind of shit happened often I'd totally see myself cutting the hair off.

With medication it tends to be pretty important to know what was taken, when it was taken and how much was taken. Leaving the meds with the pt means you can't know for sure when and how much was taken, or if anything was taken at all. And that's a problem. How's a doctor supposed to make any decision with care if they don't know for sure whether the patient has been getting the meds as ordered?

Periods are a nightmare in Gaza's crowded, unsanitary camps. Women are using birth control to skip them

Reply in thread

The period will eventually push through.

Tho I'd say the main reason all women of the world don't use it is because birth control has side effects that can be very severe. Think mood swing that leave the person suicidal. A lot of the less severe side effects might still not be worth it depending how bad the period would be. It might be painful, but just for 4-7 days, whereas birth control side effects are 24/7.

Question: restricting users?

From past experiences, the worst I'm expecting is kids that think they know what hacking is because of some whacky Tiktok or Youtube video they saw. So there may be some intention to mess with things, it's just not very likely they truly know what they're doing. There won't be internet involved, hopefully.

I like the idea of a separate container or the like, will need to look into it, thanks.

Poor wording on my part. Simply don't want them to excecute anything I don't want them to or get into some directories. Access to something like My Files would be fine and in some cases may be needed, but nothing past that.

Suomeen avautuu palvelu, jossa on ilmaiseksi valtava määrä e- ja äänikirjoja sekä digitaalisia aikakauslehtiä

Kirjastojärjestelmissä (tai ainakin niissä joita itse on tullut käytettyä) henkilötiedot voi teoriassa löytää millä tahansa tiedolla, joka sinne on tallennettu. Mikään ei siis estä päivänä x asioimasta henkilökortilla ja päivänä y kirjastokortilla. Omatoimisia lainausautomaatteja ei yleensä opeteta hakemaan tietoja muulla kuin kirjastokortin numerolla, eli asioinnin pitää tapahtua palvelutiskillä, jos on vain henkilökortti mukana. Pelkällä esim. puhelinnumerolla emme tietenkään mitään lainaile, vaikka sillä asiakastiedot löytyisivätkin.

The Irony of 'You Wouldn't Download a Car' Making a Comeback in AI Debates

Reply in thread

And some automation I have no problems with. However, if corporations would rather use AI than hire creatives, the creatives will have to look for other work and likely won't have a space to express their creativity, not at work nor during leisure time (no time, exhaustion, etc.). Something should be done so it doesn't go there. Preemptively. Not after everything's gone to shit. I don't see the people defending AI from the copyright stuff even acknowledging the issue. Holding up the copyright card, currently, is the easiest way to try an avoid this happening.
