I can’t speak for a availability or how you can get insurance to pay for it in the US.

It sounds like you’re in Europe. Healthcare in the US is much worse. Protect your nation’s healthcare, please, for the sake of your descendants, and as an example that we may one day emulate.

There are brands of high-fiber bread whose taste is barely distinguishable from low-fiber bread. My current favorite is “Aunt Millie’s Live Carb Smart” but there are others.

I’m a number 1 but plain black t-shirt and a button-up long-sleeved shirt that I only ever button if I have to fly somewhere.

These models are, by their very nature, tools that just regurgitate past precedent.

It’s worse than that. Before GenAI, AI systems would have a Knowledge Base that output some kind of formal structure, and a Reply Generator that took the formal structure and turned it into human language. GenAI is basically a very good Reply Generator without a Knowledge Base.

And it turns out that knowledge is important…

When Hell freezes over.

btw I’m submitting that image as a reaction meme: https://lemmy.world/post/40246707

oh yeah here’s an excuse to re-do that old edit in the “Garfield Sans” font.

Another anecdote: I’m doing this thing where:

1. I post a comic strip to community A
2. in my spare time, I edit the strip to be more “web-comic”-like
3. I then post the “fan edit” to community B

Mostly I do this bc step 2 is fun, but it also helps advertise community A to community B when I mention it in comments.

Anyway I posted an example of this last Friday and added a bunch of notes about the edits and when I was checking out wat the post looked like, I realized: that’s a huge freakin wall of text. So then I put it under a spoiler tag, and checked it out again. That’s when TIL you need to put a space between the “:::” and the “spoiler” or else it won’t work on all clients.

While I was doing this, the post was getting a couple downvotes, I think bc of the wall of text. It was getting like 14 up to 4 down, tho that rate levelled off after I put the spoiler tags. Note to self: be careful of walls of text.

Last week I was trying out a couple meme I’d come across that had formats I thought would be good at stimulating conversation. Both of the ones I tried were pretty successful:

• on [email protected]: https://lemmy.zip/post/54571138
• on [email protected]: https://lemmy.world/post/39892455

It all makes sense now… You leave snacks out so when the Santa-maggots hatch in the darkness of their chimneys, they can crawl out and be fed. Also why lil kids must never wait and watch, lest the kids themselves be eaten.

Sounds like, ironically?, Wright got hamstringed by the studios. Well, maybe they’ll let him make a director’s cut in a couple years.

You should totally read the Stephen King story it’s based on - it’s a pretty short novel and it reads really fast. (if you get a copy with a foreword by King, don’t read that foreword - it has a pretty big spoiler, I think it was meant to be an afterword.)

It sounds like the 2025 movie is trying to be a lot more faithful to the novel. In the novel the Main Character is pretty smart and disciplined, though filled with anger. This adds a tragic element – if he was in a better society, he’d probably be really successful. A lot of the other points sound like they’re also taken from the novel… I felt they were pretty well explained there, tho apparently in this movie they weren’t handled very well? However, the ending of the novel could not be adapted to this film.

So it sounds like the “two different movies” you’re sensing are 1. the original novel story, and 2. the stuff they tried to replace the edgier parts of the novel with.

Admiral Cloudberg is awesome. For those that don’t know, check out their entire archive, they study aircraft accidents from a mix of technical, social, economic, “human error”, etc. perspectives: https://admiralcloudberg.medium.com/

Oh wow, I’ve been meaning to look up the comment I wrote last time this was posted. And here’s a great opportunity to do so! Time to make yet another attempt…

All right, either:

• try to decide what kind of therapist is needed (difficult)
• figure out what kind of therapy/therapists are covered by insurance (time-consuming and stressful, sometimes impossible)
• provide a bunch of private information (time-consuming, difficult, and stressful)
• look through a list of relevant therapists nearby (usually easy)
• try to identify one that you might relate to or at least be able to deal with (very difficult, sometimes impossible)
• call them up one at a time to see if they’re really accepting new patients (time-consuming and stressful)
• try to find a regular time that works in your schedule for the new therapist and for other obligations (difficult)
• again provide a bunch of private information (time-consuming, difficult, and stressful)
• go meet with the therapist. try to get along with them because if you don’t it’s your fault and you have to start all over (difficulty varies, sometimes impossible)
• do all this while dealing with whatever problem you need therapy for (difficulty varies, sometimes impossible)

Or:

• access Paracelsus: https://paracelsus-project.org/ (easy)
• translate: https://translate.google.com/ (easy)
• distill potions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrrbGRIOhCw (easy)

I know the wording’s a meme, but the hell with whoever made the original post.

kek. btw if I use the font " Garfield Sans by Dr Lex ", and it has an “Attribution-ShareAlike” license, I think I only need to give attribution if I share or modify the font, not for every comic I use it for… right?

…an episode in the Breton War of Succession fought to determine who would rule the Duchy of Brittany. It was an arranged fight between selected combatants from both sides of the conflict, fought at a site midway between the Breton castles of Josselin and Ploërmel among 30 champions, knights, and squires on each side. … The combat was later celebrated by medieval chroniclers and balladeers as a noble display of the ideals of chivalry.

My aunt was watching “The History Channel” and the whole day was nothing but “ancient alien” theories, so it’s not surprising.
