Excellent source of info. Here is the breakdown of wait times compared between different countries. Sadly it does show the narrative of socialized medicin having significantly increased wait times.

We need to fix healthcare and socialized healthcare sadly is just as broken as the alternative. There are better solutions than either option that we have right now IMO.

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, University of Toronto, and UCL have developed a technique for imaging objects outside of a device’s line of sight.

The technique combines special sources of light, sensors, and computer vision processing to deduce or reconstruct highly detailed imagery, without having previously captured the image or “viewed” it directly. As noted in TechCrunch, the team is even able to reconstruct objects around corners with tremendous accuracy using multiple measurements and information about the target object’s geometry.

I always feel bad when i dont follow someone who follows me. Particularly when they seem like a nice person.

Truth is if anyone follows me I always take a minute to read through your feed. If its about stuff I'd find engaging and i think we would have a lot to talk about I follow. Otherwise dont. But If I dont and you interact with me a good deal i often will follow regardless.

Just dont feed a bit on the light side, nothing person, I will always try to respond in comment threads regardless and engage.

@Gargron Out of curiosity did M.social block the gab instances already? (I have no ulterior motive in asking other than curiosity)

Got a pair of socks at , finally conference organizers noticed we don't only wear shirts. Hoping for shorts next.

Anyone here who can recommend Mastodon accounts, instances or websites about hackers practicing ? @freemo

Ya know "treat people how you want to be treated" is a bitter sweet phrase for me.

I have always lived up to this, problem is people dont want to be treated the same way I like to be treated. Worse yet people treat me the way they want to be treated and it isnt at all how I want to be treated.

Damnit society!

If all goes according to plan in the next day or two I will officially become a legal resident of the Netherlands. The hard .part will be making sure I keep my residency.

Should've checked before, but it apepars no one in the history of the world has ever run BSD on a Dell precision M2800.

hrmm...

As a general rule there shouldnt really be much reason to hit people most of the time anyway, regardless of sex. But this meme still makes a valid point.

Isn't it odd that those who most often claim to espouse critical thinking have never even taken a class in logic... and even act as if logic is irrelevant to critical thinking.

I modified my twsbi Diamond fountain pen with a ultra flex steel nib from fountain pen revolution and a new ebonite feeder. She writes insanely well. Not as much line variation as my antique waterman's but with a fiber point it still does spencerian style way better. Plus it's a demonstrator so can't really go wrong.

I decided today to block everyone int he fediverse that isnt a dog, cat, or other non-primate animal. I will also make an exception for the occasional shrub or flower.

Trying out a new frankenpen I got. It wasn't working right u til I switched to this new ink and now it's sorta ok the ink flownisnt the greatest. Gets nice hairlines though.

It's a jing hao body with a Zebra g-nib.

Slowly my back and sciatica are getting better but I’m at the Dr one more time to see if we can’t speed this up a little. Hoping to get into Physio Therapy but that may require X-Ray and/or MRI first. We’ll see!

@freemo another thing to consider: does the suffering person actually want to be killed? Could they be content with the fact they're suffering? Could it be that they don't see that as a sufficient reason to have their life ended (imagine someone refusing to be euthanized on religious grounds, for example).
