what doesn't kill you makes risk-seeking behavior so rewarding you'll certainly discover other things that do not kill you

can anyone UK-based recommend me a private endo who'd prescribe HRT without much fuss? I had a prescription before I moved countries, they just need to replicate it.

preferably in north of England area but in principle anywhere is fine, the UK is small

me: i have used the olden software. it was bad in different ways, and also probably not the ways you expect

Clock ticks (†Horoixodidae; A. A. Koch, 2144) are a now-extinct family of parasitic arachnids of the order Ixodida. Adult ticks are approximately 1 to 8 nanoseconds long, although their larvae may reach as much as 1 microseconds in duration. Since the widespread adoption of asynchronous logic in the Third Industrial Revolution, habitat destruction and loss of reproductive capability have caused the decline of this once-widespread group of animals.

fediverse, consider: GPS collar with a worldwide IoT LTE SIM card

do you think it would be kinkier to make it secure (so that it's a very long, and very strong, leash) or insecure (because the risk of unauthorized access to your leash by three letter agencies is inherently hot)?

please explain your reasoning

realization: since a USB 3 device can work with two high-speed diffpairs, power, and ground, you could define an embedding of USB 3 over SFP and make your thumbdrive 1000% cooler

when a social media user complains about some incredibly minute things like it's the end of the world i have an impulse (which i've never followed) to ask "have you considered that you may be disabled while not having enough information to accurately judge whether you are in fact disabled? that would make your daily life difficult and miserable to the point where" (checks notes) "standing thirty seconds next to a microwave breaks your spirit for the day"

why does aliexpress recommend me this

whitequark, 9 days ago to random

for incomprehensible reasons (I checked every imaginable setting) my phone just... stopped vibrating. and having audio. yes, I checked the settings, Do not Disturb, every slider I found, tried using "bypass system settings" in a keyboard app, nothing.

did AudioFlinger just Die and nothing bothered to restart it? how would this even happen in a well-designed system come on

> It doesn't matter if I make a dozen "how to disable recall" tutorials. The second YOUR data shows up on someone ELSE'S screen, it's in THEIR recall database.

this has nothing to do with microsoft recall! anybody you send stuff to can have it compromised. you message your high school friend, she gets caught at a protest, now cops have all that data

you can never control the data you give to somebody else, recall or not
