This is why I was having issues watching Youtube 1.5 hours ago. I thought it was my internet, kept doing all kinds of stuff because I was having slow internet in general.

I have only had getting the steam client to launch, and only after a fresh install. This was mainly on OpenSUSE a few years ago; I could get it working maybe 2/3 times after a fresh install, depending on whether I installed all the hac

When you look at the bacteria that generate spores, the only population that is usually affected is neonates; which is why it's advised not to give honey to anyone under the age of 1-2. For spore forming bacteria, they're not prev

If we ever have a pathogen like Archaea I will shit my pants. Prions already are able to survive 242F for 15 minutes and caustic chemicals so we already have enough on our plates. I'm going to pose something that was interesting when t

We had our computers go down for ~12 hours one day. Paper charts came out, which was a massive undertaking. I could not imagine my system being down for 5 weeks.

My buddy moved into a closet there ~4 years ago now. His rent was something like $2,500 per month. I am living in an apartment now that has twice the space and better ammenities while only pay $1,000 per month. My friend has since moved to

Bachelor's degrees only went down slightly, which isn't too surprising. What's worrying to me is that associates and certificates have dropped significantly. Both are primarily for individuals who are in lower socioeconomic s

I went from Ubuntu to Fedora because of the recent decisions made by the devs and the hard push of Snaps. I use Chromium every once in awhile and am amazed at how long it takes for it to start up; it's almost instantly on every other d

I was an early adopter of Voat during the first Reddit purge but it turned into a racist cesspool. I'm wondering how many of these alternatives will follow that trend.

Malaria is probably going to be one of the hardest maladies to overcome. There was some promise with a vaccine, but it looks like that was fairly disappointing. The selective pressure is so high with malaria that sickle cell anaemia is a fa

Let me build some credibility here: I have been working out for roughly a decade, have gained over 70lbs, and was ranked in the advanced category (set by ExRx standards) of dead lift, squat, and bench. Now, my suspicion is that the target d

Personally, I would like to a see a government sponsored test where the study materials are provided for free. I feel like that would help decrease the amount of people who couldn't afford the prep courses or tutors. Not ideal, but bet

A friend of mine lived in the bay area for a bit and ended up leaving because he couldn't handle the virtue signaling. From his experience a significant amount of people would talk about helping low socioeconomic folk, oppression, or a

I am a massive Civ VI fan even though I understand the criticism. Running it on Linux is a far better experience for me than V, but both are phenomenal strategy games in their own right.

The other day when HK leaders were dragged out of the legislative building was surreal. It's something that I would have thought would only be seen by a dictator in the developing world, not in one of the most advanced cities in the wo

I would sometimes read NYT articles during down time at my old job. The amount of advertising and JS on the site without and adblocker is atrocious. I ended up going to other news sites because NYT was so bad. Still, it's nowhere near

My best friend is working on novel targets for hepatocellular carcinoma. Does he know science? Yes. Does he know how to bring a drug to market? God no. Everyone outside of your field is a lay person. >Med school doesn't qualify you

Both are involved in discovering novel drug targets, but not in bringing drugs to market. I know a significant amount of individuals in medical research that don't know the nuances behind bringing drugs to market.
