Oh, the patent expired? No problem, we’ll just methylate the structure, see that it makes no difference and put it out on the market as a new drug. Or maybe take the active part of a racemic mixture and half the dosage. Same drug double the patent. Semisynthetic insulin is even worse in that regard.
I love FDroid but no way in hell is my banking app going open source and uploading there. I can use the website instead of the app but I doubt that’s the case for everyone.
Same as Latin!
In most slavic languages it’s also “Med” or a cognate.
Rather not say but across the border south, about 4-5 hours from Bucharest.
It was fun having to go to work yesterday morning. Nothing was cleared up, no way for cars to get to my house so I had to make a trek by foot. This morning was worse because some of the snow had melted during the day yesterday and it refroze. Everything is slippery now.
One thing outside observers need to know is how incompetent the municipality services are. They knew in advance that this storm was coming. There were warnings all week. It came a day late here so they had extra time. The municipality website showed no information, just some cultural events and an article from two days ago that “the municipality is ready for the winter”. At this point we have a saying for poor organisation during winter time when everyone knows it’s coming in advance:
“The winter surprised us again!”

While it really does feel like it, as a person working in healthcare, I do see some change after the whole shitstorm from recent years.
But also I also see some negative tendencies:
This came out longer than intended but there were some things that I needed to get out of my system.
I totally did not mean to disregard mending clothes! On the contrary, we buy mostly second hand, and if there is a hole that looks fixable, it’s getting fixed. Things are worn until they can’t anymore. If they don’t look presentable, they’re being worn at home until they disintegrate. The problems with fast fashion are a whole different beast but come from the same place as disposable tech.
I soak up trivia, and information about things like a sponge. I work with meds, and I can tell you at least one little piece of trivia about most of the thousands of pills that surround me. I can’t let myself interact with an object, and not know what it is, or what it does. Every single songbird that I hear outside, I must know what it is. Every single flower on the ground? I need to know! We’ve spent an hour on a 10m stretch cataloguing, and identifying every single plant on there, just for fun.
She just assumes that if something is broken, the first step is to see if it can be fixed.
The fact that this isn’t the norm in society anymore is what baffles me. It’s a great mindset to have, and personally I had to rewire myself to think like this as well. The feeling of reviving a dead or dying piece of tech is so much more satisfying than buying a replacement. Not to mention the money saved (usually).
While I agree, I live in an area where the tech I can afford is similar to what seems popular in India and SEA. I’m a visual learner and often times I end up on that part of YouTube when I need to repair something, and the best I’ve got is an Indonesian dude breathing solder fumes in the backyard of his makeshift shed at night. And you know what?
That was the most useful repair video I found and it helped a lot. And I found it because the title was in English.
Sadly best I have are posts by people claiming to have worked for HMD Global, talking about planned obsolescence by slowing down the phones intentionally. While I’m not really sure Google is doing it too, the experiments with old wiped android devices seem to point that way.
I’ll try that. Thanks! Already bricked another broken Nokia by not making a recovery when it wasn’t even supported 🙃
That happened after a wipe of the device. It can’t be the app.
I use irc for the more obscure books. It’s a bit more annoying but once you get the hang of it, it’s easy.
This is exactly what I’m doing right now. I play a game that I can play for 2 hours daily max and it’s fine, I can do without it easily. I also fell into the OW2 trap and I became unbearable to the people around me.
I feel like I didn’t word myself properly because I haven’t played WoW or any of the “problematic” games for 6 months now. I managed to keep myself occupied with cross stitching and books. It’s when I see footage/hear music that I get these feelings of wanting to play again.
We have a distant relative who lives in Canada whose partner is from an island that got devastated by an eruption like this. Canada issued lax rules for settlement and citizenship for the refugees but I can’t for the life of me find which island it was.
Was the island Montserrat or another one? I don’t really personally know them so I can’t just go ahead and ask.
Bulgaria: No need to sign anything, it’s already done. Everyone has the equal right to marry the opposite sex, and nobody can change (de facto) their legal gender. Everyone is already accepting of the LGBT people, as long as they don’t show it publicly.
Jokes aside, outside of Sofia the public opinion is that there are matters much more important than that. Homophobia is also widespread so it’s a political suicide to ratify something like this. The Istanbul convention was a huge “scandal” for just mentioning that it applies to trans women as well. There was a huge disinformation campaign and it worked. We ratified it anyways because it was integrated into an EU directive so yay?
