.su is literally the reason that the more stringent rules now exist. They won’t let it happen again.

The first one that comes to mind is zoom.us

Good. The rampant abuse of the ccTLDs is atrocious.

ICU level care

Acute care, understood.

referring to like, fists.

i.e. “I need Olanzapine [broad receptor affinity, highly anti-cholinergic, well-tolerated], but, like, faster.” I’m surprised that particular aspect of the side effect profile comes into play with acute usage.

I’m unsure if you don’t work inpatient psychiatry or you just work somewhere significantly classier than I do.

Ah, yes, this happens a lot. No, I don’t work in the medical field at all. I just know things, for reasons.

I do work in an inner city area that’s flush with people stuck in a cycle of drugs / homelessness

i.e. the psychosis has done so much cumulative damage at this point that you need to fall back to the typicals. That explains why the third-gens are useless.

On a different note, have you heard about Cobenfy yet?

It obviously isn’t suited to the needs of your practice. But I’m really glad we’re making progress on alternative treatment approaches, especially novel ones like anti-muscarinics.

Hopefully the new glutamatergics can reach your setting soon.

In 2024? Why? Risperdal is such a blunt instrument with respect to its broad affinity for receptors.

It’s called dead butt syndrome. The gluteus medius atrophies from the sedentary lifestyle.

Even worse, that was done intentionally. They wanted to prevent retail stores from leaving them plugged in at all times.

de·vice

noun

a thing made or adapted for a particular purpose, especially a piece of mechanical or electronic equipment.

Sounds like the correct word to me. You don’t just walk into the store and buy an IED.

One of the law enforcement officials with knowledge of the markings said that all three devices were sent to the terrorist explosive device analytical center in Huntsville, Ala.

The events of Prodigy largely involved wormholes across spacetime in one universe (and incursions into that universe by bad guys).

The quantum fissures in Lower Decks are connected to other universes. While this season of Lower Decks does canonically occur in the same time period as season 2 of Prodigy, I doubt the two are related.

That said, with the specific call-out, I definitely see them having some significance later in the season.

I was more surprised that the crew of the other Cerritos weren’t responsible for opening the fissure in the first place. The setup felt like it was leading toward a reveal that Captain Becky’s crew had ulterior motives.

It was a bit disappointing that the twist only turned out to be Captain Becky opportunistically trying to swap universes. I was expecting something more like Stargate SG-1 9x13 (Ripple Effect) wherein an alternate-reality SG-1 is after me Lucky Charms a ZPM.

What is it?

There are several monospace adaptations of Comic Sans which are great for use in terminals or IDEs. I particularly like this one:

I have never seen another terminal font that is so easy and fast to grok.

Banning CFCs went pretty well too

We originally reached out to 9Elements last year along with several other coreboot consultants, but all of their prices were so outrageous ($50k-$100K per board) that we decided to try porting our laptops ourselves. After hitting a sticking point, we reluctantly contacted them again for help debugging our code.

From the start, our interactions with Christian Walter were awful. We repeatedly stressed how important and time-sensitive this project was, but he seemed completely indifferent. In fact, he made a snide remark about us coming back after trying to do it ourselves.

We never received a quote for the actual porting, but they said the evaluation cost is typically 10% of the total cost, which would mean the porting would have cost around $33,000 for Dasharo-branded coreboot, and $66,000 for unbranded coreboot. Even their highly discounted Dasharo-branded porting comes out to around $250 to $330 an hour, and that’s if they started from scratch. We had 80%+ of the job already complete. We just needed to debug our code.

Sometimes people take their vehicle to mechanics and don’t like the quotes for the repair costs. Some of those people then choose to try to do the work at home. Sometimes one of those people will then reluctantly take the car back to the mechanic after they screw up the work.

And then they balk, because they discover that (A) the mechanic will outright refuse to work on the vehicle due to it being in a dismantled state, or (B) the mechanic will give an even higher quote since they now have to diagnose and clean up the mistakes too.

They sign up for an account as a customer, and they order something really cheap, e.g. a salt packet from McDonald’s or a sauce packet from Taco Bell.Then when a Dasher accepts the delivery offer, they call the Dasher.

DoorDash masks phone numbers on both ends by proxying through their own phone bank. So when they call the unsuspecting Dasher, the caller ID on the Dasher’s end says “DoorDash.”

Then they impersonate Dasher support. They claim to the Dasher that the order they are attempting to pick up was placed fraudulently and will need to be cancelled. They claim that the Dasher will still be paid for their trouble but that they will need to check their text messages for a link.

Then they use the link to phish the Dasher’s account credentials. And they instruct the Dasher to forward their 2FA code as well, despite the text message literally saying that nobody will ever ask for that code.

It’s been happening for years. New Dashers fall for it all the time.

It says they also fraudulently created new accounts as well. They likely turned around and “rented” those accounts out to additional victims. There is a black market for account rentals for those who, for whatever reason (e.g. background check, driving record, citizenship status) can’t be approved for one on their own.

All of them.

I’m sorry.

*ahem* that’s Captain Tuvix

What was it they said back then? They’re from the South or some such?

I would like to second this, particularly the line “through a slightly O’Brien-esque process.”

😭😭😭

Damn. Maybe I’m not as useless as I thought I was.
