Even if you were already vaccinated, your body sees the virus and makes more of whatever it needs to in order to kill it when it finds it. Then your body will keep more of that antibody around for the future because it … happened again.
I reject the premise. People have varying strengths of their immune system outside of autoimmune diseases, they’re not equal. One person’s natural ability to fight off a disease is not the same as another’s. Immune systems also can get overwhelmed. People can even get multiple viruses at the same time.
While scientifically, if I’m not mistaken, natural immunity tends to be a stronger form of immunity once the person survives a disease, surviving the disease is of course not a guarantee for anyone. Vaccination, when available, reduces the chance a person dies to a disease in the same way that warning somebody about something allows them to take preparatory action.
Prefer? Vaccination every time if available. I don’t like getting diseases my body has to scramble to fight.
I mean preppers try to be as self sufficient as they can. Hosting your own stuff is similar to that, so yeah, I guess.
My outage was when the internet to my house was intermittent, not when AWS went down
If you’re definitely making the hop, copy the whole windows file system to an external NTFS-formatted drive and then mount that and sort the files later haha.
You won’t be able to boot it as a backup, but the files will be there. If you have drive encryption you have to turn it off
Interestingly; Taco Bell has some of the cheapest fast food you can get with their luxe box line, but that more speaks to how bad everything else has gotten post-covid and during this term.
The amount of violence perpetrated by the American Right is statistically significant in recent years. The opposite is not as significant.
That said, of course I agree it’s the rich vs us.
Bought a gun. Have used them plenty, never figured I’d own one. Political violence by the American right is too commonplace. This administration is sweeping people off the street without due process. I’ve read history books. Might as well buy it and not need it than need it and not have it is how I feel.
And to anyone thinking about buying a gun who has never fired one, take a safety course and try it out first.
That’s 1800 hours of the-device-that-watched-it’s electricity saved (minus whatever amount humans might have skipped manually)
Competition has grown in the industry and long-term live-service black hole games have captured parts of the potential purchase-base so wholly that they don’t really spend elsewhere.
Game companies have plenty of methods for bringing costs down, but making games faster gives you more attempts at a very competitive market. (Some) Indie games are sort of proving this right. If you make a relatively quality game in a short time period and release it for a relatively good price, you can get your foot in the door of the market. If you spend 5+ years making the biggest game you’ve ever made and it sucks, your studio dies.
The big question is if AAA shifts to making games faster, are they going to be of a high enough quality to justify the outrageous price publishers will still want to set for them? (easy: no)
Basically I see it as the industry splitting even further. The AAA games that make money will continue to do so only so long as their last game lets them float 5+ year dev cycles. Otherwise, companies and publishers are going to reduce risk and investment and push developers to make their game faster, get to market faster. Arguably that would be healthy for the industry, but I know it won’t be.
Apparently not canceled
Network effects are quite difficult to overcome. Lemmy’s largest influxes of users have been when Reddit does something unpopular enough to warrant people looking for other places. Same was true when Reddit became popular because Digg made bad decisions, or Facebook when MySpace did.
The answer is that Lemmy almost assuredly will never be as popular, but at least its future is not dictated by the profits of a company, or censorship imposed by or on that company.
The best we can do is make Lemmy a viable alternative (it is) and ensure it is of a high quality.
The Brave Little Toaster.
Yeah, I know. But the AC unit dying freaked me out.
Possible, but I think that particular feature is more aimed at EU electrical prices.
Fix would be government regulation.
Alternatives are sending cash by mail, accepting bank ACH, and of course, cryptocurrency.

More people speak English as a second language than people speak English as a first/native language, so you’re in the majority!
I’d argue this could be true but it heavily depends on the type of monarchism a state has, how nationalist its peoples are, how militant the state is, and if there’s a strict order to society that is trying to be imposed.
Obviously, being a proto-fascist state, it wouldn’t need to have all of these at once and not to the extent they would be if the state was fascist but if enough of these indicators appeared to exist, I think you could make an argument in favor.
Thanks! I said in the posts something about the editing expressed the feeling of the aurora, which I had never witnessed before, and which was quite strong for how far south it was.

Yep. Godot and Blender I think
