The data also suggest that masking could save at least 20,000 lives per year just by protecting from flu infections; we really don't know how strongly masking can reduce COVID-19 mortality when combined with vaccines because mask/vax has been presented as an either/or framework by US PH officials.
20,000 people is not millions, but it's a lot: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=e4JbencdPLI
We don't really see this talked about, but something that helps us a lot as a neurodivergent human is the "decision-saving device". We find that every decision takes some energy, and "naively" we'd make many tiny decisions throughout the day which would be exhausting. So we come up with rules and systems that make the decisions for us instead. We've done this basically our entire life. -Antissa

Starting again because I ran into tech issues this morning. Am now using actual 3DS capture instead of Citra.

https://twitch.tv/madewokherd So, my intent when I started this wasn't to play BIT.TRIP Runner forever. I wanted a chaotic mix of challenges in different games I enjoyed, with a bias towards those where I was improving. My struggles with a promising controller that didn't pan out (yet) are in danger of burning me out on that game. So I just added a bunch of other stuff to the mix and we'll see what happens I guess.
@lioness Imagine drawing the correct amount of lands and being able to pay mana costs for things.

@28of47 My reaction to flesh dysphoria was more along the lines of "this is interesting and unexpected" and not "this sucks", but also wow I am not supposed to exist in a fleshy body. -Bunni

we think we just put our finger on something we've been struggling for a while to find words for
explaining complex ideas in the form of a video makes them highly accessible to audiences who are already motivated to engage with these ideas. that's great!
it also makes them extremely difficult to critically engage with, compared to most written media.

In an effort to prevent side channel attacks that use machine learning to decode audio of typed passwords, mechanical keyboard club is proposing single-use keyboards for password entry.
Security adverse partners and spouses of mechanical keyboard club remain unconvinced, questioning why we need "another one of those damn keyboards"
@hollie I've been assuming that for most people, computers are what cars are for me: don't care beyond the bare minimum necessary to use and maintain it. And they shouldn't have to.
But at the same time, all of this is hard and complicated and I don't know how to bridge that gap.
Although come to think of it: is there a program that will give you a GUI to edit your website and upload it to a static host of your choosing? I feel like that'd streamline things a lot.

You give your sub a trigger to help her explore her dominant side. It works surprisingly well, but she stops talking to you after that without saying why.
Months later, you finally hear from her, but she introduces herself as the trigger word you gave her. She's ready to forgive the disruption you caused the two of them(?), but you'll have to become her pet first. She might even let you play with your old sub again, if you're good.

Lawmaker hails "world's first binding law on artificial intelligence."
Would it be weird for the system to use plural she/her/herselves?
@b0rk This might be the first one of these I haven't said 100% to. I feel like I know what it means in practice, but is a "ref" just a commit hash, or does it also include stuff like HEAD~2 that can be parsed into one? What about the hashes git makes of individual files/paths, or submodule commits, are those refs? Is the physical file in .git/refs/heads a ref?
@transfaeries That's odd, according to the man pages you can't install a handler for SIGSTOP, so it shouldn't be able to cause SIGSEGV.
