Except that I am using a very porous knit scarf as a mask and only masking up outdoors (the opposite of proper masking).

I am convinced that I will come down with cold/flu if I breath too much cold air. When I walk in the cold, I always wrap a scarf around my mouth and nose. If I don’t, the cold air will give me a sore throat. That sore throat will act as a Petri dish for illness to develop and spread into my lungs or nose.

I know plenty of medical professionals and all of them tell me that that is not how it works, but I have a datum of proof. In my first year of university, I had a nasty, persistent respiratory infection during the late fall/early winter. To keep my throat warm while it was recovering, I started wearing a scarf and my illness went away quickly. After that, I started wrapping up whenever I was walking to class in the cold and never got sick again.

I am now used to wrapping my face in the cold and feel wrong without it. When I don’t, it seems like I am more likely to come home with a scratchy throat. I can definitely say that many of my flus start in the throat (though it could just be that the first flu symptom I tend to notice is the sore throat).

With an ISP, you are not paying much for your bandwidth to the Internet. You are paying for connection between your house and their office. Your ISP has to maintain many miles of wire across your city. They also need to maintain equipment that can handle thousands of individual connections across many individual wires.

In comparison, a VPN provider just has a couple of very big connections going into their data center for pushing data in and out.

Plus, you likely have only a few choices of ISP (or only one choice), so your ISP can maintain a very healthy profit margin. With VPN providers, there is a ton of competition, so they have to charge you only a little above actual cost.

Also, that imply i have to plan doing sex weeks before if i have to take the pill

Same with the female pill. The intended usage is that you take birth control regularly, regardless of how often you actually have sex.

Assuming you have a card from a participating library.

It seems like Massachusetts Best Buys did not get the memo. I hear all these stories about people hating Best Buy over pushy employees and have the opposite experience. The stores only have 1-2 employees on the floor and the duty of those employees seems to be to hide from customers. If I ever need help finding an item or want something from a locked display, I have to spend 15-20 minutes running around the store trying to catch a ninja.

Wasn’t that the Pocket Pair game before Palworld?

Keeping skin pretty is completely out of the realm of reasons for religious coverings tho

Isn’t it? I assumed that that is a big reason that religions that start in a desert demand that all members, regardless of gender, cover most of their skin in clothing

“Son, wear your long sleeve shirt. You know how prone you are to sun burn.”

“But dad, it is so hot outside and my clothes are so stuffy and I will only be outside for 15 minutes, tops.”

“Well guess what, son. I just spoke to God and he told me that boys who don’t wear long clothes outside go to hell. That is why you turn red and painful from sunburn, to remind you that you will roast in hell.”

They left entirely? Not just tuned out the group until the topic of conversation moved on?

The article argues that extremist views and echo chambers are inherent in public social networks where everyone is trying to talk to everyone else. That includes Fediverse networks like Lemmy and Mastodon.

They argue for smaller, more intimate networks like group chats among friends. I agree with the notion, but I am not sure how someone can build these sorts of environments without just inviting a group of friends and making an echo chamber.

If you read the article, the argument they are making is that you cannot fix social media by simply tweaking the algorithm. We need a new form of social media that is not just everyone screaming into the void for attention, which includes Lemmy, Mastodon, and other Fediverse platforms.

And you still have to buy an even number. Also, only if all items are the same price.

I don’t think I have even heard of an Oodie before. Is it just a super oversized sweater made out of some material commonly used for blankets?

That might be something my wife would like as a Christmas present, but then I will never see her body shape ever again.

No, you just need to come to terms with your urge to be a woman.

It is more difficult for gay men who have to accept the fact that women are not gross.

You do not get to vote. You drew a curve for question 12 when the instructions specified a line.

I don’t want to sync my bookmarks. The sites I want bookmarked on my desktop are not the same as the sites I want bookmarked on my phone nor the sites I want bookmarked on my work laptop.

As an occasional user, I am sad to see it go. Are there any other sites out there to maintain a list of links that I may find useful in the future? With a web UI and not self hosted?

Exactly why they put it. You would first need to win a trial to get the clause voided and then win another trial to get actual damages or you can go to arbitration and get a modest settlement. Most people will take the latter.

What sort of half assed reporting came up with this story? This is not a new policy. If I remember right, Nintendo added a forced arbitration clause to their EULA about 10 years ago (I would try to find an exact date, but Google is flooded with articles parroting this story).

It came up with regards to Joy-Con drift in 2017: https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/washington/wawdce/2:2020cv01694/292704/21/

Should companies be allowed to force arbitration as a shield against all law suits? Hell fucking no, but their lawyers say they can, so any company with a EULA written by a half decent lawyer includes the wording.

At this point, the only reason anyone would complain that a company includes the clause is rage bait.

I cannot speak about the quality of the port (I played it on the DS), but Capcom ports Ace Attorney to every system they can.
