Whoosh .

Check the financing on those.

These numbers are useless.

Plot them against population and current doctors-to-patients ratios vs targets.

Anything less is just a "success!" brochure.

I wonder what forces have recently created a temporary lack of nursing staff after so many quit because of ignorant hillbillies and their horse paste.

Wait. I answered my own question.

And isn't it classic conservatism to fix a multi-year problem with a solution that will damage families for generations? Typical "I got mine so f-u" conservatives.

I have a family doctor. I put myself on a waiting list and got one.

Then he quit.

Then a doctor took over for him and I hate this guy.

What kinda snowflake am I, right? But I go in because I want to talk to him about xyz and he doesn't address it at all. Every 4 months it's another fucking test for ancillary shit and I still need something fixed.

Are they trying to wait my middle-aged ass out? Like maybe I'll randomly get a bigger problem so they don't have to schedule an ER for a 35-min procedure?

Checkmate, bitch. I'm moving across the street from the hospital, across the street and down from the lab and a block away from the doc's office. I'll do all the tests and X-rays and shit until I wait YOU out. I'll do appointments every day.

Because nixPKGs have the same Single-Source of Truth wrecking problems as flatpaks and appimages and all that junk.

There's only so much room in the ecosystem for best-practice-violating product, and systemd takes up a lot of that. And until systemd collapses under the weight of doing a thousand things poorly for all the wrong reasons and delivering on none of its brochure features, the other entrants have to wait outside.

off-duty cops shooting the 7-year old is NOT relevant to a conversation on gun control because they are cops.

Right. Because they didn't have guns and weren't shooting? Because then the victims don't exist? Because they had more Range time? Because they were trained in high-stress situations and extremely familiar with their weapons?

This all sounds like me challenging Tony Hawke to a freestyle competition.

cops the “good guys with guns”.

I find it hard to come up with a simpler description of a cop.

Sounds like they were just gun owners

two off-duty cops working security

I'm not sure if you're saying they obviously didn't own the guns they were firing - hard to prove and little difference - or that professional gun-users with standards of accuracy and control under stressful situations as part of their training and job are somehow more likely to shoot innocents than a bunch of randos with shooty-pow-pow fetishes.

completely unloading their magazines into the door/window.

You're not exaggerating here. It takes about 8 seconds for the one officer to reload the weapon once the mag's been emptied by spasmodic panic-shooting, and while we can deduct time used to talk on the radio, it didn't stop what looked like 40-50 rounds being pumped into the general vicinity of a person.

I have cops in the family, and I get a good idea of the day-to-day grind their soul endures in my country's best-trained and worst-paid police force, and I'll be among hte first to review something critically. There's nothing mitigating about this; it's objectively horrific.

Edit: ho-oleee shit, she survived.

Pouncy, a friend of the woman who lived in the apartment, sustained a total of five gunshot wounds to the leg and torso, according to her attorney, Ben Crump, who reacted to the release of the video on Monday, calling it "evidence of the unnecessary and excessive force."

None of Pouncy’s vital organs were struck by bullets, but the long-term effects of her injuries are yet to be determined, according to Crump. He told ABC News that Pouncy is traumatized by the incident.

I hope she can live and sue the cops so hard it'll change their training, and these two will split between telling their story of idiocy and parking enforcement for the rest of their careers.

It’d be an awful security risk if they did.

Wasn't that an actual plot device used over and over in Mr Robot?

OS’s

OSes, my dude. There is absolutely no pluralization that uses an apostrophe, so keep that in mind.

I'd be interested in seeing this kind of setup - where volunteers tag others' speech and account - actually work. So often, nearly all of the time, I've seen it used as political tools in small squabbles; totally inappropriate usage, and it's hard to get those proverbial scarlet letters removed. I can only wish them the best.

A known defunct WHAT?

Stroke meds run out?

flatpak >>>> snap > appimages

I didn't know we were ranking the horsemen of the apocalypse. Leave room for shitty supply-chain victims like cpan/composer/npm and other irresponsible shortcut tools that throw security out the window.

To say nothing of a signed manifest of contents. It's like 1995-era package management was lost on the kids who built this dreck.

YAML, which is great.

Well, someone had to finally believe that.

It ruins single source of truth for apps and their installed state. It hides installed state from standard enterprise tools.

Downvote.

A mix of housing types ...

I'm gonna guess

• firetrap bungalow sprawl
• firetrap micro-townhouse ranks
• firetrap lowboy SROs

So much kindling. So little density.

Having lived in two of those towns, I can't say whether the mayors know they're making a dumb mistake and ultimately growing their infrastructure capacity requirements in a way that will continue to be incredibly inefficient to fulfill, but knowing something is dumb and doing it anyway is kinda their deal.

Bulldoze the core. Tower anything not reclaimed land. Render more bungalow sprawl into shared and maintained parkland. Enough ot the ticky-tacky sea of moldy bungalows.
