Some of the recent Cisco security flaws are just so brain-dead stupid you wonder if they have any internal quality control at all

At the super budget prices Cisco charges, do you really expect quality control to be included? You’ve got to buy a quality control subscription for that. /s

I justified asking for studies. At no point did I claim to have spent hours searching pubmed. How hard is that to comprehend?

Have you ever tried searching pubmed and vetting studies by reading abstracts? It’s not like using google and clicking on the first result.

First off, searching for studies backing up some claims will always introduce confirmation bias. Secondly finding relevant studies, vetting the search results, by reading the abstracts, validating the scope of the study, deciphering the methods used, etc, will easily take the same number of hours as OP would spend in minutes to copy paste from their bibliography system.

Hvem kunne stoppe dem?

Sirius Patruljen! Alle 14 pax, samt Grønlands hjemmeværn, der ikke eksisterer.

Hvis rigsfællesskabet skal i krig med USA, så har Færøerne godt nok bare at stille med mandskab.

Seriøst, hvis USA vil tage Grønland, så kan vi vel ikke gøre mere end klage til FN, hvor Rusland eller Kina vil rejse en afstemning om fordømmelse af aggressionen, der prompte møder et veto fra USAs FN ambassadør… Som jeg gætter på bliver Alex Jones eller Caitlyn Jenner.

Det er sgu lidt lige som i folkeskolen, hvor der var det der barn, der skulle have været i et specialtilbud, men blev inkluderet 3 klassetrin under sine jævnaldrende. Minus på intellekt, men plus plus på råstyrke.

I think tinkercad is a great place to start. It’s browserbased and doesn’t cost money. It may not have a lot of components, but it still have quite a few more than just resistors, caps and inductors. And it is aimed at newbies and hobbyists, which is reflected in range of the available components. Being able to drag an Arduino into your sketch and have it run your program is neat.

We used to use yenka, when I taught electronics. It was OK for teaching, but I don’t know if I’d recommend it for self-paced learning as a hobbyist. It costs money, requires software installation and is so much more than just electronics that navigating the program can be difficult. And default settings explodes components when you put too much current through them, that alway annoyed me.

Are you talking to me? I mean you replied to my comment, but saying that I’m referencing studies doesn’t make any sense. Well at least not to me, because I don’t believe that I claimed to have any studies for anything.

If you meant to reply to me, please go read my first paragraph, and the maybe try it a second time. I actively tried to avoid getting labeled as dismissing the claims.

OP’s claims of “oh mer gerhd you dead soon” were so broad and so wild that they didn’t seem rooted in research. Asking for citations would be like asking your antivax aunt for her DIY “research”. But at least the claims should motivate people to seek healthcare, if they get knocked unconscious. Something that will save lives. So I left it at that.

I asked for citations where I did, because it seemed like that commenter worked in the medical field, and actually could have the studies handy.

If you read my request as casting doubt, then I invite you to read the first paragraph again. I specifically pointed out I just like scientific research, data, and evidence. I actually tried to avoid being seen as arguing against the claims.

I can’t help that you (and a lot of other people, apparently) see asking for citations, as casting doubt. Expressing doubt wasn’t my intention, I was genuinely curious about the sources.

And if being curious about science is wrong, then I’m going crawl up under a warm blanket, with a cup of chai and a nice peer reviewed metastudy, while staying wrong.

Edits: grammar hard

I’m not saying that you’re wrong. You sound like you might know what you’re talking about. I just like publications and medical evidence. I trust that you won’t take it the wrong way.

That is… Incorrect, there is about a 30% death rate within one year of brain trauma […]

Source?

[…] but there is absolutely no data showing that someone is going to die within an hour of being knocked unconscious more often than not, […]

Do you have a metastudy or something for that?

especially if they are young

That last sentence, do you have a source for the difference in outcome depending on the patient’s age?

That’s the problem with anecdotal evidence. You can always find that one person who fulfills the criteria but who’s outcome doesn’t match.

Of course you can be fine afterwards. But there’s a considerable risk that you’re not, and experiencing symptoms of a traumatic head injury does warrant a visit to the hospital.

Two Australians are in the hospital. Nobody’s talking about the two Danish girls who died, or how the UK foreign office is involved in helping their citizens in the area as well.

This may be bigger, and targeted, than it may seem initially. Because all of the 4 poisoned persons I’ve heard about, were drinking at the same hostel as a bunch of other kids, who didn’t get poisoned.

Edit. Lol people downvoting in ignorance. Classic.

Firstly, bitching about downvotes is tacky. So tacky that even on reddit it was frowned upon.

Secondly, in ignorance? Well it’s either that or because you seem to believe that every 20yo that can afford to travel is a privileged douce. Take your pick, it really doesn’t matter to anyone else what you believe.

Lead Paint Girl and Asbestos Boy were just here!

“Lead Paint Girl” ?!? You can’t call someone that! Lead is heavy and causes mental retardation (I’m sorry if that word offends you, it’s the literal translation of the diagnosis in my language)… Anyway, calling people “lead paint person” indicates that they’re both heavy and idiots.

So with no further ado, let me introduce to you, the next president of the United States of America:

Donald “The Lead Paint President” Trump

It could be abbreviated as LPP. Alternative uses of the abbreviation, could revolve around pronouncing the letters PP, and substituting the L with words like “Little”, “Leaky” or “Leprous”. Finding better words starting with L may be a fun game to play with your friends, when you’re hiding in the hidden part of your basement, while armed right wing nut jobs go hunting for libs in the 2028 election.

Put it in this context I do believe we can see where the hospital clowns concept is going

And even if you haven’t killed them outright, they can have permanent disabilities.

If you, or someone you know, gets knocked out, or experiences other symptoms of a central nervous system trauma after a hit to the head, please seek medical care immediately. It’s not one those “take two aspirin and let’s see how it goes in the morning” kinda things.

I’m just one person, but during my life I’ve seen this multiple times. I will refrain from boring you, and doxxing myself, by telling my anecdotes. Suffice it to say that I have known people who would have been dead if they hadn’t gone to work with a “bad hangover”, or ended up with narcolepsy or chronic encephalopathy. And that was separate people BTW.

TBH shooting a rat with 5.56x45 would leave you with more cleaning up than dissectable rat.

Better get used to it, what someone says doesn’t matter anymore, what you can make people believe was said, and how outraged that will make them, is all that matters.

I’m not saying that I’m endorsing it, but I do think my statement is pretty precise… But also it tries to exploit the phenomenon, to outrage you dear reader into taking action.

proton is literally cia. they are modern cryptoAG

[citation needed]

I’m not saying that it’s BS. I’m asking as someone who’s on the brink of dropping 300€ on a year of “proton family”. I’d like more than an unsubstantiated “they’re crap” claim before making my decision.

Because under communism you’d get a redistribution of wealth to everyone. In Trump’s case the redistribution is the inverse. The methods differ a bit too. During a communist revolution the redistribution is done by the people, and sometimes quite violently. Trump’s redistribution is more subtle than that, and is going to involve marketing, laws and last, but certainly not least, government procurement contracts.

I’d bet that if mcdonalds sucked the old cheesepuff enough, they could get a lucrative contract for MREs. Or an exclusive contract for restaurants in military installations.

Get ready to see big corporations lining up outside the Whitehouse with knee pads and a box of tic tacs.

I wonder if Mike had to text his son when Trump brought the trafficked teens hookers out immediately after this photo was taken.

There, I fixed it for you

I have said it before, and I’ll say it again: you can fault McD for a lot of things. You can argue that the products aren’t to your taste, or subpar in regards to nutrition. But food safety is something that the clown takes extremely serious.

I’ve gotten sick from burger king. Once I had to decide what I’d rather wipe off the floor, because it was coming out both ways after eating Carl’s Jr. But I’ve never been poisoned by McDonald’s, nor have I talked to someone who has either.

Last time I went on this rant, a former McDonald’s employee commented about food safety practices. They told how if you went to the bathroom and came back multiple people would ask you if you remembered to wash your hands. Not like this specific commenter, but that was just what they did to everyone. If you came in sick, you would be sent home with pay (I believe this was in the US, so it was actually extraordinary).

The short rant:

1. You don’t need to ask which distro, ask which mint version
2. The answer to #1 is MATE or xfce.

The longer rant:

I’ve been using xubuntu a bit, for guest OS in desktop VM, but I don’t really know if I like it enough to recommend it. It’s less rough than Arch, but so is 24 grit sandpaper.

Like others have said, there are many contenders for your use case, but mint stands out. I’m probably gonna go with mint once windows 10 stops getting updates. Mint or parrot. But TBH I don’t want to daily drive parrot either.

Which version of mint then? That’s really the question to ask. And if you ask me then I don’t care for all the bells and whistles, I don’t need animations or semi transparent windows. And when Ubuntu went with unity back in the day I walked. So I guess I want my GUI to stay the same. So I’d go with MATE or xfce.
