This again is literally what he said in the aftermath of Samoa, victim blaming. “Those ~6000 people that got the measles and 83 people who died were at fault because they were malnourished, not because I mislead them with fearmongering and faulty statistics”. Never mind that once the island widely adopted vaccination in the aftermath of my nonsense measles once again disappeared

The man is a murderer with a confirmed body count and instead of accountability he continues to gain notoriety

Practice radical acceptance

There is no benefit in attaching ourselves to the suffering and rumination of that which cannot be changed. We practice radical acceptance in this instance because it, more than any other instance, is unchangeable. Allow yourself to feel the frustration, sadness, grief, anger, etc that you feel when you think about death but allow yourself to let the thoughts pass by rather than attaching to them. If you struggle with it (which of course you will, you’re only human) reflect any analyze your resistance to being able to accept.

It takes practice. There’s a lot more to it, I’m paraphrasing a lot. It’s worth reading about if you’re really struggling

For all we know it’s an eternity of being frozen in whatever instant you were in at the moment of death. The people who die in their sleep literally get eternal slumber but the people who get chainsaw accidents get a moment of limb tearing pain stretched to eternity

Probably not though, probably your thing

Missing critical features:

Filter lists only update with the extension, you cannot update them dynamically

No making your own filters and thus no element picker for blocking annoyances on a webpage (a feature so good apple literally baked it into safari)

No support for external lists (which means if you back up your own filters into a list you cannot easily reimport)

No changing behavior on a per site basis

A number of other features as well that are more strictly power user features but still really handy like dynamic filtering and strict blocking domains.

If you have the option stop using chrome and edge, they are some of the worst options you could choose. Even outside of adblock and manifest v3 chrome is horrendous for data harvesting bullshit and edge isn’t great. If you don’t have the option because of an overzealous it dept or whatever and are forced to use it ubo lite is your best option probably and my heart goes out to you

It hasn’t been (obviously) modified but the issue is the lack of updated guidance, like telling people to get vaccinated if they have not or telling people who got vaccinated with an inactive vaccine or a single course and live in high risk areas to get a booster (which again is probably why your doctor brought it up)

[–] ragebutt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 5 months ago

If you were a person who got vaccinated prior to 1989 before the mmr recommendation was a second dose 28 days later and you never had a life event that caused you to get your vaccines updated in the interim (eg becoming a healthcare worker, moving into a dorm, etc)

If you live in a high risk area and only got the single dose vaccine you should get a booster. The single dose vaccine is 93% effective and the two shot is 97%. The cdc has always had this as their guidance. Typically they would update their guidance in times of an outbreak but well, the government has kind of had a whoopsie with fascism

Edit: I get why your doctor would recommend that though. While vaccine records are nice and tidy now in epic EMRs preserved for many years to come for those of us born in the 80s and 90s records are mostly on paper (and at this point likely destroyed). So if you’re over 30 but under 50ish and in that window where you would’ve gotten the good vaccine but not had it documented well it may be easier to just get it again to be sure. This is a bit lazy though as immunity status can be verified with a titer test. However, this may not be economical, I assume the cost of the vaccine is much cheaper for most people with things like high deductible health plans or those who are uninsured

This is only true if you got the single dose schedule (1969-1989) or the inactivated (pre 1968)

And generally if you did something that modified the schedule it probably changed. I was born in the mid 80s and got the single dose schedule but my college dorm required the 2 dose schedule in the early 2000s. As such I basically have lifetime immunity, as does anyone who gets 2 doses spread about 28 days apart of activated vaccine (or an actual infection, which is why those prior to 1957 generally don’t need the vaccine)

Absolutely, it is only human to make mistakes. Of course there are time where someone gives a stupid reply but there are also times where that is not the case. If it were the assumption would be that I am right about everything, which is asinine

the worlds biggest mystery - I left a cake in a room with my dog and when I came back it was gone??!

You can just say bluray, disc is implied

No you’re correct and I’m a dummy, it’s been ages since I’ve cooked meat. 130F is the lower bound for beef

You can sous vide beef in some circumstances at 120 but this is the equivalent of cooking beef rare. If you do this you should either blanch the beef or sear the meat before cooking it

The whole “cook meat as low as you possibly can sous vide” thing is dead anyway. All the cool kids have moved on to the new Baldwin curves that overshoot to speed up cooking immensely (outlined here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GapkjSTx3Ao )
