A different perspective - my grandparents grew up speaking French. Then the state passed a law saying only English in schools when they were young children. They would get hit on the hands with rulers for speaking French.
This was of course passed down to my parents and myself. But my mom still bitches about kids where I currently live being in school and unable to speak English because they’re new immigrants.
She doesn’t see the hypocrisy and it’s sad.
This is a hard one. I think we can all agree that the people who need it should have it and the people who don’t…don’t…especially if their easy access to the drug pretty much guarantees a shortage of the drug for those who do need it.
I need it. And when there was a shortage just as we were forced to return to the office after Covid wfh, it was a nightmare. I don’t know for sure that this company was handing out prescriptions to whoever would pay or if they were mostly legitimate, but I imagine that it’s somewhere in between the two. And I do know that we will never be able to have a rational discussion about it between health professionals and the DEA/FDA, etc.
So, a lot of people who need it won’t get it either due to shortages or due to not being able to access a prescription for whatever reason.
Some people will continue to access it who don’t need it, but on a level that guarantees sporadic shortages for others.
No one wins other than those profiting either by selling prescriptions or by selling the drugs themselves at a much higher price than they paid for it using said prescriptions.
Rinse, wash, repeat.
I never knew about the prosciutto/ham, but tajin makes everything better!
My mom eats it with salt. It’s actually not bad, I enjoy it either way. The salt does give it an interesting flavor, so maybe try that if it might enable you to like it more.
I’ll allow it.
Nope, 2 completely separate things. The only thing that was messed up in this case were the comm loops that were broadcast and maybe some of the simulated messages that are sometimes shown on one of the big screens in the room (that the sim was in, there are a few FCR’s (Flight Control Rooms)) - but I’m not sure if they showed anything visually from the sim. When you go to log on to an activity in MCC, you log on to the sim if you’re the one doing the sim. It’s a whole separate thing to log into the actual flight even though all of the computers are still in MCC to make the environment more realistic.
Edit: I completely misread this, lol, but no. The crew would close hatches if they needed to - there have been plenty of false smoke/fire alarms on ISS to wake them up while they were sleeping to troubleshoot. (One Shuttle flight in particular, I can’t remember which one, but it was docked, was particularly annoying wrt the ISS false detector alarms during sleep) and they were woken up and had to perform that emergency procedure. There is a lot that can be commanded from the ground, so it’s not “automated” in the way that you’re thinking. The ground has to send a command before anything happens. But closing hatches and such is done manually by the crew.
I guess considering I used to work in Mission Control and participate in these simulations, the language used here is something I notice probably more than others.
The simulation itself was broadcast. The astronauts and the sim team were in Houston. The alarm originated from a computer on the ground in Houston. The comm loops that were heard were from a sim on the ground in Houston. This headline would make more sense if NASA was troubleshooting alarms on ISS and configured things such that those messages would be on a private channel but messed up and the public heard them. In this context the fact that it was a sim is important.
Misleading headline. NASA accidentally broadcast a simulated ISS distress message.
Two very different things.
Thank you for letting me know that :)
I hope the devs can tweak a few minor things here and there while leaving the most useful functions alone, change the name, slap a new logo on it and be back in business.
But I know nothing about how the censorship and the add-ons to circumvent it work and odds are it won’t be that easy.
Sometimes we have to for work. That or Edge :(
Unrelated, but I love that you discovered this image and worked so hard to figure out the answer to your question. I had also never heard of the Top View community, and it’s so interesting - subscribed! Thanks, OP :)
Wouldn’t the difference here wrt Tom/Woody be that Tom had already played the role before so there is some expectation that a similar voice would be used for future versions of Woody if Tom wasn’t available?
Serious question, I never thought about the point you made so now I’m curious.
You may enjoy a book that came out a few years ago by Amanda Ripley called “The Unthinkable - Who Survives when Disaster Strikes and Why”.
I can somewhat relate to what you’re describing (though maybe not to that extreme) and found that this book did a good job of helping me to understand the mindset of folks in these situations so as to ponder what I might have done had I been in their place in a somewhat realistic way.
9/11 and other plane crashes were just a couple of things that she focused on.
Thank you for the clarification.
They do, but Texas is one of the most difficult states to register to vote. Voter suppression is real and by design.
This explains it well: Texas’s Voter-Registration Laws Are Straight Out of the Jim Crow Playbook
and Analysis: It’s harder to vote in Texas than in any other state
Some, but there are a lot of people here who recognize the hypocrisy and trash policies put into place in the state by politicians who do not wish to govern, only consolidate power.
We’ve learned nothing from the 2021 winter storm that killed over 200 people.
A co-worker of mine was in the later stages of a difficult pregnancy. We worked 9/80’s and had every other Friday off. A manager was upset because she was having to take so much time off from work to go to doctor’s appointments.
He didn’t understand why she just couldn’t go on off Fridays.
Her doctor did surgery on Fridays, not “regular” appointments. So yes, you’re 100% correct.
