This may be a dumb way to do it but I print to PDF. It doesn't require any new software and works just fine for documents

People think that the immune system is like this pinpoint accurate machine that kills invaders. In reality, it is more like a carpet bomber that functions under the principle that we can heal and viruses/bacteria cannot. Inflammation is basically your body carpet bombing and healing.

We would also not be able to build muscle mass as the repair of microtears is what leads to hypertrophy.

So we would all be dead. Healing if fundamental to life.

I did a commute like this for 3 years. It's very doable (and enjoyable!). A few things I did not anticipate when planning the trip.

In the summer you need to leave time to cool down/shower.

Head wind can significantly affect commute times.

You need to draw a line where you know it will not be safe to bike I e. Snow, heavy rain, heavy wind. This way you can plan for a back up.

Flat tires/bike malfunctions happen. Make sure you know how to repair things and that your job would be understanding. You would be surprised how the same employer might be understanding for a flat tire on a car but not on a bike.

This is my experience in The US at least. You should do it!

Check the compatibility with Linux but I also used Ubuntu with very little problem. It works flawlessly for me. I had no experience with Linux before this and was able to set it up with some googling and Asking ChatGPT for some useful commands. It was a fun project. The *arr suite is great.

I would imagine it is as follows:

  1. Come up with ideas or goal to accomplish /be given said goal

  2. spend large amount of time looking at existing code or prior implementation of your stated goal.

  3. attempt to write or import some code tailored to your specific needs

  4. test and identify problem areas

  5. find everything fails spectacularly and start over +/- tears.

  6. repeat until successful or dead

I can't be sure, but this appears to be the Hollow-Face optical illusion. It would be achievable with this technology as well

I am much less worried about NP encroachment and more worried about health systems using this as a springboard to launch AI in place of physicians. At least with NPs you get someone who is capable of empathy in your most vulnerable moments.

Hmm. I guess it depends on your Blocklist and the TV type. For my Samsung, it worked perfectly.

This is literally the reason I set up a PiHole.

We need more information. Structural issues can be small or very big. Remember, the person doing an inspection has to over report everything possible because if they don't , and something major happens after the sale, they can be sued. For me, I would take a look at how serious the issues are and decide if working on them is worth the time/effort/investment. I wouldn't buy a car that had the front end crushed in an accident because, even after the repair, the final product is not something I would want to drive or have to deal with.

The system we have is built like an unsteady house of cards which is cemented together using ridiculous amounts of money. To dismantle and rebuild it without having to close inner city and rural hospitals would take a decade or more. This means the first step is campaign finance reform and overturn citizens united since the change would have to outlast more than one political regime. Then maybe work one single payor and universal medical record. Many steps from there.

Doctor here in general practice.

This works well in principle. One of many problems here is healthcare need is not spread around uniformly. In your example you just consider number of people and number of providers. This is ok of you are just thinking of primary care (it works like this in many places). It breaks down when there are surges. What happens during flu season? What happens if there is a fire and 30 people need treatment for smoke inhalation. What happens when the doctor needs to take a vacation or gets COVID during flu season? There is redundancy built into a larger healthcare system which makes access more robust over a wider range of conditions.

Also, doctor's don't always want to work in all places.it can be harder to recruit doctors to some areas.

There are a whole host of issues here. I agree though that having a middlman take a large cut of money to "grease the system" does contribute to it's inefficiency. The healthcare system is broken on so many levels that any one change like this would be set up to fail. We need a major overhaul.

 

Relatively new to this but, I finally got my media server up and working! I want to improve the success of the search function though. Is there a way to know if content is on usenet but my indexer is not good enough? I would rather steer clear of torrenting for now. How do I go about finding good indexer?

 

I am new to Linux. I just got my hands on an old server machine with Internet to set up a media server and installed a fresh version of Ubuntu. Ultimately, I hope to use it as a headless unit but as I am a newbie, I put the GUI version on. I am having an issue getting it to display at all.

On boot, the output just stops. I can fix it by adding nomodeset to the boot script. I updated the Intel graphics driver's per the instructions on Intel's site. I am not sure where to go next. Any advice for troubleshooting? The onboard graphics is intel corporation hd graphics 530 rev 06.

 

I just recently started my journey setting up Plex with *Arr and have had a blast. I have the setup running on a raspberry Pi. Before I start buying a bunch of external hard drives, I went searching for some dedicated server hardware to comparison shop. Am I crazy to consider buying an old tower server for this, or will a raspberry Pi work just fine for this purpose? I don't have that much experience but I do enjoy a good challenge.

About a week ago I setup Ubuntu as my primary OS on an old machine. It is my first time trying a unix based OS (previously windows). It has been ok, but it seems like every time I try to install something I run into problems. The app has the wrong permissions or I don't have the right packages or I need to change port settings ect... I was expecting a learning curve but I wanted to know if this is something I should expect to be a long term issue or if I will aquire the skills to side step stuff like this over time?

Update* I got it working. Last night I reinstalled it and figured it out. Two issues. On initial install I failed to update one of the packages needed. I also assigned the service to a group without the required permissions. On reinstall I rectified both of these issues and it works flawlessly. Thanks all for your help and input (and ignoring typos in the title)!
