Chief enforcer of US gun laws fears Americans may become numb to violence with each mass shooting
Worked with a Gen-X woman when we came into work and heard about the latest mass shooting. Another millennial and I responded fairly flatly: "another one huh?" She expressed some sadness that we were so jaded, that it's just what we grew up with as normal.
Become numb?
Too late man.

Apple considered switching to DuckDuckGo from Google for Safari - Bloomberg News
I started using duck duck go a few months ago and have felt like my search results are a lot more useful since.
The maps function on it sucks though

Gettin real goddamn tired of dogs
I absolutely love dogs and I have one.
I absolutely completely agree with everything you have said here. None of those behaviors should be appropriate.

What happened to the Duolingo icon?
Reply in thread
I've been working on my Spanish with practice from some of my coworkers and patients. So far Duolingo's "flash cards" have actually been pretty helpful, but I grant that some of the actual "instruction"isn't there. I went from really rudimentary Spanish to being able to conduct a patient evaluation in Spanish as long as it's straight forward.
Everyone shits on Duo but I've found it to be a really helpful practice tool myself.

10 years ago, a person would be insulted for filming a video in portrait instead of landscape. Now, old landscape videos are being cropped and resized to fit in a portrait player.
My unpopular opinion is that whatever you record should consider the format it'll be viewed in as well as the orientation of the subject in the video. Is it going to be viewed on a phone, one handed, while someone is eating or pooping? Then vertical might make sense. If the subject fits better in a vertical video, then that makes sense as well.

Yeah they do it with a marker when the patient is awake. Like "this is the surgery I'm doing on you, you cool with that? Ok I'm initialing that we are doing the right thing here"
Like for an amputation they'll mark the leg while the patient is awake "yes I want this one removed"

What's the worst example of not "reading the room" you ever witnesses?
I'm a physical therapist. I started as a physical therapist assistant. Way back in PTA school, our instructors brought in three people with spinal cord injuries for us to learn from. They talked about their experiences, showed us how they transfer, and one showed us his modified pickup truck that had hand controls and a crane to put his wheelchair in the back.
One of our classmates named Nancy had a habit of putting her foot in her mouth. She had absolutely zero filter. Our class guests were taking questions and one person asked about dating, in a respectful manner. Hearing about challenges related to normal stuff like that helps us to answer questions if we have a patient with a new spinal cord injury. One of the people said they had been with their gf for a few months and was talking about how they chose date activities and stuff. Pretty innocuous, nothing super personal.
Nancy makes a joke along the lines of "I'm surprised anyone would want to date someone like you," kind of chuckling as she said it. The guest speakers seemed to take it in stride but man everyone in the class was looking around clearly horrified.

This is awful, but treason is really narrowly defined. He also didn't say "hey followers, go kill this guy," he is speaking in hypotheticals that are free speech.
He still sucks massive donkey farts though

Your Windows 10 PC will soon be 'junk' - users told to resist Microsoft deadline
I often play old games that have compatibility issues with windows 10. Most recently FEAR required a .dll from a site for a stable framerate.
People keep saying "gaming works" on Linux but are they talking about modern games? Do old games "just work?" I have very little free time to fart about with fixing too many issues with an old game. How well does this stuff work?
