The grammar and spell check is not an issue, but if you're using the rewritten alternatives for a sentence it's definitely a toss up. Granted, it just uses what you've written and provides a few different ways to relay the same info, but then again, it does this via AI. So really idk, but I've used LanguageTool rewrites on most of my college papers and I haven't had any issues. In the big picture, it's nothing close to using an LLM to write a paper.

Like most things in biology, neurological disorders are on a spectrum. So the bystander who chimed in with their opinion should be taken with a grain or salt. It comes down to the patients neurobiology, care team, meds + the associated regiment, as well as their desire to treat the disorder. Neurbiology is a highly unique aspect of every human, so anothers experience with it will be pretty biased by default. I was in a long term relationship with someone who was bipolar, but the only reason we broke up was because we were in our mid twenties and had no real idea what we were doing. If your son wants to maintain his relationship with his partner, thats fully an option, it'll just come down to staying in front of it!

Even if the other forms of energy and matter from the supernova explosion were removed, the ultradense burst of neutrinos alone would literally vaporize someone from the inside in close proximity. While neutrinos are most often harmless, this is one of the few times they can be lethal. In a core-collapse supernova, roughly 99% of the energy is released as a burst of neutrinos, totaling about 10^53 ergs over 10 seconds. So the neutrino flux from the supernova would be so insane that enough neutrinos would collide with the atoms in your body to deposit lethal amounts of energy. This ultimately leads to one being vaporized from the inside!

Are conflicts of interest required to get appointed by this serial bankrupt business man?

No, the package systems, management tools, and configs for Debian (what Mint uses) and OpenSUSE are different. Technically, if you had tons of time and a solid understanding of Linux inside and out, you might be able to pull it off, but it's not worth the hassle at all.

I thought episodes 4 and 6 were top notch! Both were very entertaining and have the uncommon somewhat optimistic ending for Black Mirror.

Maybe the new GPMI cable will help here?

This is the Mark Twain stump in Kings Canyon National Park. In 1891 they fell this tree to display it at the Museum of Natural History. So not too sure if clear cutting occurred, but the stump is 16 feet wide either way!

Obligate link for Neil deGrasse Tyson's academic analysis of Terrence Howard's “research paper” he tried to publish: Invidious or YouTube. Neil gave him constructive criticism with the goal of helping him improve his understanding of science. Yet, that's not how he took it, and the content of the paper truly demonstrates how the field of science is FULLY not within Terrance's wheelhouse. His “understanding” of science should only be used to help others new to the field see the benefits and reasons for the scientific method.

I haven't heard that name is a hot minute, I dug Whole Wheat Bread tough in the early 2000's! But I'm glad you dig Get Dead, they have a handful of solid albums, I also really like Honesty Lives Elsewhere.

A band that is slept on hard and legit my favorite active punk band is Get Dead. Their album Dancing With The Curse is unreal cover to cover. It's just 32 minutes long, but it's a god damn classic! My favorites on it are Stickup and Confrontation. The signer was a hiphop lyricist originally, which you can kind of hear at times, but I'd say he was meant for punk rock!

Yep, as of this week at least... For some background, Vitamins A, D, E, and K are the fat-soluble vitamins. This means overdosing on them can take quite a long time to fully recover from. Excessive Vitamin A can result in significant liver, bone, central nervous system, and skin damage, as well as hair loss. But I've not once heard RFK say anything about dosage, which is idiotic for someone in his position. Vitamin A's primary role for humans involves regulating cell/tissue growth and differentiation. Vitamin A's main prescription usage is for cystic or nodular acne under the brand name Accutane. Accutane's dosage needs to be very dialed in, so much so that the patients using it must get monthly blood work, if not bimonthly or weekly. Additionally, women must agree to not get pregnant on Accutane, as it leads to severe birth defects and other pregnancy complications. But sure, the dude in charge of the department of health sees no need to say anything about dosage, just that taking Vitamin A is helpful for measles while there's an exceptional vaccine readily available...

 

Amazon workers and their allies are participating in a series of global actions aimed at holding the online retailer “accountable for labor abuses, environmental degradation, and threats to democracy,” according to the labor group UNI Global Union.

Dubbed “Make Amazon Pay,” the campaign is set to last from November 29 to December 2 and will include strikes and protests across six continents, according to the group—and is timed to disrupt Black Friday (or “Make Amazon Pay Day”) and Cyber Monday, two of the busiest online shopping days of the year.

 

Most voters don’t vote for—often don’t even consider voting for—third parties because they view voting for a third party as helping the establishment party they most hate. Disenchanted Democrats continue to vote for Democrats because they don’t want Republicans; disenchanted Republicans continue to vote for Republicans because they don’t want Democrats. Both are trapped by fear and loathing.

Disenchanted Republicans should dialogue and pair up with disenchanted Democrats and both vote for third party or independent candidates. That is, instead of you and a friend canceling out each other’s votes, one self-loathingly voting for Harris and the other for Trump, you vote for the third-party candidates you actually want. You both get to vote your preference without helping the candidate you most dislike.

VotePact frees up votes in pairs from each of the establishment parties. This liberates the voters to push the lever for their actual preference from among those on the ballot, rather than just pick the “least bad” of the two majors. It doesn’t change the balance between the establishment parties, but “syphons off” votes from them equally. The pair could each vote for different candidates, or they could vote for the same candidate. If the latter, it could open the path to an actual electoral victory for an enterprising independent candidate.

We’re trying to free people from the fear of voting for candidates that actually represent their beliefs. Over the years, real independents, principled progressives, libertarians, authentic conservatives, and others have been unrelentingly manipulated by the establishments of the two major parties. They should wake up to the fact that they can join together, rather than be kept apart by establishment party apparatchiks who exploit their fear to maintain the ruling duopoly. It can lead to an independent or emerging party candidate winning.
