You can negate that risk by getting a UPS. You should get a UPS in any case imo since even a shitty one lets you at least save your work and shutdown properly if your electricity drops.
They won’t learn anything. They only nulled their bullshit because it would hurt their financial quarter because their biggest cash cow game at the moment is bombing. They only way to maybe make them learn would be if every single one of the “outraged gamers” would just uninstall and never play it again, but that won’t happen and Sony knows that (which is why they can try pulling that shit in the first place).
Good for the peeps in non-PSN countries tho. For them, this is a real win.
The same company that gave out free baby formular to poor African families and then, after a couple of months, went “nuh-uh you now have to pay so your babies don’t die lol”? Surprising.
Guess why France has a some pro-consumer laws that wouldn’t fly in other countries. It’s because if the government pisses the people off, they instantly respond with rioting. It works.
The life of patients is such a joke to pharma companies that the one that distributes this drug (Novartis) thought it would be ethical to “donate” doses through a literal lottery system.
Imagine being a Community Manager and having no idea how the bullshit your publisher wants to pull off affects your community but still initially siding with them lol
I have amblyopia—also known as lazy eye—which means I often see a bit of double vision—usually a sliver duplicated on the outside side of one of my eyes, even when I’m wearing contacts, and even though I don’t look like I have a lazy eye. My eyes definitely don’t work in concert and I’m told my 3D vision resembles...
I had amblyopia as a kid because one of my eye muscles didn’t develop properly, so there was an imbalance leading to a lazy eye. I had to get surgery to correct that, but it was past the time window when proper depth perception is developed (until about 7 years of age, got my surgery with 9). So yeah, my vision is kinda like yours.
Even with the lazy eye gone, I also only use my stronger eye to look through binoculars, dunno why. But I’m myopic in the right eye and hyperopic in the left, so maybe that has something to do with it.
American cheese often does contain actual cheddar. It’s basically a cheese blend that is mixed together with sodium citrate. I live in Germany and American cheese cannot be sold as “cheese” here, the industry usually calls it “Sandwichscheiben”, but maybe Switzerland is less strict.
I’m using an aged chinaphone (Xiaomi Redmi4x) and their UI comes with a pre-installed app called “Info Assistent”. I fucking hate that thing. I fucking hate it. It constantly spams me with shit like current weather, tomorrow’s weather, useless soccer results that I don’t care about, the literal content of the waste bin, cache data… It spams about 5 times a day. I cannot revoke its rights, I cannot uninstall it, I cannot shut it down. The suckage is forced on me, why?
The probability of 2 people having the same birthday is 1 in 365 because it’s the same as picking person A’s birthday as a specific day in the year and checking whether person B has their birthday on that date.
Now, the reason the number is so low is that you are basically comparing pairs and with 23 people there are 253 different pairings (23 choose 2 or 22*23/2). With each pair having a 1/365 chance to have the same birthday and having 253 distinct pairs, you would have to fail a 1/365 check 253 times in a row. The formula you can use for the success rate is 1 - (1-p)^x with p being the probability and x the number of trials, so in this case
1 - (1 - 1/365)^253 = 0.5004
In essence, the unintuitive part of the “paradox” is how fast the number of possible pairs grows the more people you add.
Ever woke up and noticed a small zit or pimple? Yep, that’s likely a staph infection, although there might be some streptococcus in there as well. They probably also entered your blood stream, but got quickly eliminated by your immune system. It’s all about the bacterial load.
Which is why you should not scratch wounds, even when they itch really bad. Here is a pic of my leg from almost a year ago, it got out of control because I kept scratching the wound and ignored the occasional flaring pain until it got so bad that I almost passed out when moving my leg. This is a combination of staph aureus and strep pyogenes when they really thrive in your wound. If those had been resistant strains, I would have been in a lot of trouble.
Well, shortly before Christmas 2022, a friend from out of town came over to drink and reconnect. Somewhat late into the evening, I was going to the refrigerator to get some more beer and on my way there I have to pass 2 devious steps totaling about 15cm in height. I slipped, or tripped -I don’t really remember-, and fell bang on the edge of the upper step. A fair bit of my tumble was cushioned by my behind (left a bruise there) and the rest was absorbed by my leg. Pic below was from the morning after and the pic in my post above was after a month of scratching that wound and ignoring the damage I inflicted.
It’s a pretty neat comparison, you can really see the swelling and which parts of the wounds were surface scratches and which went deeper.
