They’re both “immutable” in the sense that they’re setting up either read-only Filesystem Hierarchies (as in bazzite, which uses ostree) or Symlinking their entire filesystem hierarchy to a read-only “store” (as in nixos).

Bazzite uses something called ostree to “diff” the filesystem hierarchy much like git does, while Nix basically makes giant read-only store of files and hashes them, then weaves them all together into a “view” of a filesystem that gets symlinked into the context of a running program.

I mean, they could make the sponsorship of the visa cost money instead…

NSAIDs cause crazy increased risk of intestinal bleeding and and it inhibits the ability for the kidneys to excrete uric acid, they also increase the risk of heart attack and stroke.

My point is that comparatively, acetaminophen is (or at least was) the safest drug for light pain.

I haven’t seen any new categories of painkiller that would indicate that’s no longer the case, though.

I’m confused where this zeitgeist about Tylenol being bad for you is coming from. I remember working in pharmacy that taking Acetaminophen was the least reactive painkiller with the least number of long-term issues, but I’m hearing a lot more people talking about how bad it is for you.

The studies I’ve seen have been correlative at best, and, considering that NSAIDs and opioid painkillers are far worse over time, I don’t understand the dissonance in advice that seems to be appearing.

Is this more “seed oil” nonsense?

Their predicted 2025 revenue is supposedly 5 billion so this is a decent chunk.

Not enough, but a decent chunk.

I know we want to get really riled up and say that he’s committed a war crime but presidents have been extra judicially killing drug dealers since Obama put them on the Disposition matrix (the “kill list”).

Trump even goes out of his way to call them “narcoterrorists” because the way the law was written when the “war on terror” started (not that he pays that much attention to the law), anyone that has a mild supporting role in Al Qaeda and it’s diaspora have open season on them without Congressional oversight in perpetuity.

I want people to understand that this is wrong but also every president has been doing this since 2010

I guess that means those cheap SoC boxes we’ve been seeing all over are gonna double in price.

Sure, but they just get replaced by a sycophant then it won’t make much of a difference

Oh good he’s obviously talking about the Marshall Plan. I look forward to the US shipping millions of tons of food and goods to Gaza post haste. /sad sarcasm

After the trump admin said it had “secured” 600B from Japan when the finance minister that negotiated it himself said nothing was finalized I knew the EU deal was also likely mostly hot air.

Not necessarily, but I’ve had acquaintances with criminal records have an innocent situation like that get blown out of proportion by the police because of the record.

At this point I’m kind of assuming she is both lying and the situation was worse than what she’s saying, and yet it likely still didn’t warrant an arrest for criminal negligence and the police are blowing it out of proportion, if that makes sense.

I don’t want to defend fucking Boebert or her ilk but to be fair:

“miscommunication on monitoring my young grandson that recently led to him getting out of the house.”

Assuming this is true, kids after three getting out of the house one time and scaring their parents half to death is a pretty often occurrence. Kids get real clever real quick when they get to 3, 4, and 5 and that’s usually when parents suddenly have to re-evaluate the locks on the doors after a jailbreak.

It’s funny because I was thinking the exact same thing of you, lol. I’ve lived here for 10 years, 3 of that in Tokyo.

Had the police pull me over one time in Tokyo and they checked my bike and didn’t say anything about insurance.

You mean to cover the inspection fee? The inspection sticker doesn’t have an annual fee.

You don’t need anything else other than the inspection sticker.

Are you talking about the TS-mark? You get it when your bike is registered and inspected. If your bike is registered and inspected the inspection fee covers the TS-Mark, you don’t need anything else.

I don’t know who sold you that crap but it sounds like you got scammed.

There are very few bike lanes in Japan, big reason is the edit I made a minute ago.

Actually, yea, kinda.

One of the things you’re taught early on in driving school in Japan is to “close the gap” and pull to the side that you’re turning into in order to prevent bicycles and mopeds from fitting between the sidewalk and your car and tboning you if you pull into a right or left turn.

If you pull into a left turn (left handed driving so similar to a US right turn) without checking that a cyclist is coming up behind you on your left side and they slam into your car you are 100% at fault.

[Edit]

The thing you gotta know about japanese roads and the law is that all roads unless explicitly marked otherwise are primarily for pedestrians and cyclists. As a car driver you are borrowing their roads. The law explicitly states that you are not allowed, while operating a motor vehicle, under any circumstances to impede the progress of pedestrians or cyclists.

The only time the law says otherwise is on highways and roads marked exclusively for motor vehicles.

Old lady walks in the middle of a four-lane street, shutting down traffic? Yea man too bad, you gotta wait, the most the police will do is set up a road barrier to help her cross easier and ask her nicely to use the pedestrian crosswalk.

No, that’s covered by the “TS Mark” that you get when you buy and register the bike.

The general traffic rule is that unless indicated otherwise, roads are primarily for pedestrians and cyclists, so you’re the one borrowing their roads, not the other way around.
