Why don't they just go make their own app store? Who do they think they are that they believe they have some right to someone else's hard drive. They're private companies brO!
It would've been the right thing for her to tell you. But unfortunately, if she tells the wrong person she could get called out for fatshaming on social media and probably lose her career nowadays. It's the rational choice to not offend anyone's feelings, when those feelings can be used to crush you and your livelihood.
The problem isn't that there are tall people in the NBA. The problem is that regular height people cannot compete if they are forced to play against those tall people. Many people by default give up on the idea of playing basketball because they aren't tall enough, even though they may very well be able to excel at the game against people of their own height. So the solution would be more like creating different leagues for different heights or something to that effect, so that anyone can go up against people who are in their height class without suffering a disadvantage they will never be able to make up for due to being born how they are. Since pro basketball has selected for tall people, we are seeing all these tall people playing each other. But at their height, being that tall doesn't really give them much advantage over the other players, who are also all tall. Most people are not NBA tall as it is. Maybe they will find it more fun to watch or participate in basketball where the people aren't genetic outliers and the outcomes will depend entirely on their skills and effort? I don't think it's guaranteed that a "Tall Basketball League" would be successful, even if it contains more stars, than a basketball league where height is not a barrier to entry. Manlets outnumber the lanklets in the end.
I recommend getting a keyboard with hot-swappable switches, since you may want to change it up some day and instead of buying a whole new keyboard, you can just get different switches. You'll have to do some thinking about what is the ideal switch for you. Some people like super clicky switches that make it sound like you're firing a machine gun when typing. Others want something more quiet.
Not sure on the timing. I do see that the Cloudflare error I get is saying the host is down, and clouflare is ok.
The site had been showing intermittent SSL handshake errors for about a week up to this point.
Who is actually surprised by this? They(as in Big Tech) just deplatformed the US President. Even the official POTUS twitter account was not safe from having its tweets deleted. You think you're safe? You thought they couldn't use this power against anyone else? So many people have shown themselves to be bootlickers in the last few years and they will get what's coming to them.
23 people died. These are the very people we were trying to save, why we shut everything down, right? But I guess we don't feel as strongly about their deaths because it was our vaccine that did it.
Older people dying is not the only reason for the shutdowns. Health care being overwhelmed is another main reason, and it’s not just old people that end up in hospital.
The 45 - 64 age group has occupied the most hospital beds during the pandemic in my country (Scotland), and probably yours too if you dig out the stats.
It contributed to their deaths in the same way covid contributes to the death of someone with underlying conditions. Or what, will you say that it was the underlying conditions that killed them, and not covid? ;)
Very old people were not part of volunteer group, so this vaccine do have more severe side effects than extrapolated. They are changing the regime and skipping some of the frailest due to this. The vaccine will still provide protection for most.
How do you know it contributed to their death? How would it do so? There are clear ways underlying conditions can contribute to death by covid, but I’m not aware of any such thing with the vaccine.
Also fully Vaccinating is the only good way to end lockdowns. If you dislike lockdowns and want them to end and regular life to resume you should be be happy that we are Vaccinating and not make unsupported accusations
My philosophy is that basic income will be ultimately a good in the long run, even if there are some amount of people who take advantage of it and ultimately do nothing productive for the rest of their lives. Because I don't want people like that in the workforce anyway. I believe only people who are actually motivated to work, and enjoy their jobs or duties should be there. I really do not want some sadsack of a person who hates their job serving me at a restaurant, who will mess with my food if he feels slighted by me. He should go rot away in a small apartment and leave that position for someone who actually cares. Society should gladly pay these people to keep them away. It's sad that someone who is happy to work, must compete with hundreds of people who dont give a shit, for the same job. I hope that basic income would get rid of much of the competition for jobs like this, which would also mean business owners can no longer take advantage of a big labor pool to pay poor wages.
>but the other 11 months all seem to have the same rail thin models that have dominated since the '80s
People used to see those and aspire to be like them and improve themselves. Something changed over the last decade or more, and now no one wants to do any better than they currently are. They are despairing in content with themselves.

People still aspire to be attractive they just don't feel the same social pressure to chase it that they used to. Personally I don't see the problem for the USA, if people are happy being unhealthy then let them be unhealthy. If this was Europe I could see a public cost argument but US businesses are already starting to charge more to people who are inconveniently obese so I don't see why it's a real concern.
