Costco’s optometrist said they couldn’t buff out the scratches on mine since they don’t actually use glass anymore. They use polycarbonate lenses which are strong and won’t shatter if broken (I’ve definitely tested this on accident…)

Same, popped up while in the middle of Satisfactory

Yeah, not touching that website with a 30 foot pole

I’ve also got an Oral B Pro, I think. Not at home to check the exact model. I’ve been very happy with it as well! It has smart features but it doesn’t require you to use them to use the toothbrush as normal

It may try to connect to open wifi networks instead, maybe

From an article I read last week, it’s an accessibility thing. Front window needs to be low enough for short carriers, and the vehicle needs to be tall enough for a tall carrier to stand in.

Looks silly, but pretty well thought out.

They already do when you leave a mess or destroy property. That’s not unusual and acts as a deterrent

My mistake. Misread the comment while at work

I love my 3 monitor setup 🥲

I always read it as Law Enforcement Officer

I’d love to be on a GLP-1 (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc). I’ve had Wegovy prescribed, but my plan excludes it and the others unless you have diabetes.

It’s definitely one of the current “trendy” prescriptions in the USA right now, which I hate since a lot of people are using them as “get thin quick” hacks that will fix their life. Being a 300lb guy without diabetes where general diet and exercise aren’t dropping the pounds, my prescriber said I’d be a perfect candidate for it.

Is this in regards to a specific recent event or article? Or just purely hypothetical?

In practice, an AI that’s trained on drug-drug interactions, duplicate therapies, and common dosings would be beneficial. We already have specialized models that are helping scientists discover groundbreaking technologies, such as recent advancements in discovering cancers years before we are used to with more traditional methods.

Let’s look at your hypothetical. Prescriber sends in an order to their in-house pharmacy for amoxicillin and the patient has a recorded penicillin allergy. Under ideal circumstances, the pharmacist would review the patients chart, note the potential for a reaction (While they are different antibiotics, there is still potential for a reaction due to the drugs being related), and contact the prescriber to verify therapy and discuss if a change to another antibiotic is in order. (This is all ignoring the fact that for an ear infection you’d likely get an otic ear drop, not an oral suspension. Something like Neo-Poly-Dex or ofloxacin).

Unfortunately the pharmacy hellscape we’re in today leads to rushed verifications, where therapies aren’t being checked too closely and many things get missed. Pharmacies already have systems in place to warn techs and pharmacists of any interactions with recorded allergies, but if you’re traveling or need to go to a new pharmacy or doctor, things get missed.

An AI that is trained on these specific things would help alleviate some of the pressure of the already overworked pharmacy staff, while giving consise and consistent information. If a pharmacist misses an allergy or interaction, the AI could send a warning to them and the prescriber.

Note that I’m referring to job specific AI, that are trained for specific purposes. A general LLM, which it sounds like you’re referring to, would not be able to work in these environments.

Source: I audit pharmacy claims, with training in retail, LTC, and PBM pharmacy settings. It’s literally my job to catch the errors (both billing and clinical) that pharmacies make.

To preface, I am not defending the police or the piece of shit abuser. This was handled extraordinarily horrendously. Police even knew about the guy’s crimes and let him off without a slap on the wrist.

The basis of my thoughts comes from this paragraph in the article:

Police said that Kizer travelled from Milwaukee to Volar’s home in Kenosha in June 2018 armed with a gun. She shot him twice in the head, set his house on fire and took his car.

I don’t know any info beyond what the article gives, but it sounds like at that point she wasn’t being held captive and murdered to get away from her abuser. She actively plotted and had the freedom to travel and kill him. Unless there’s something I’m missing, I don’t think I could consider this as actively being self defense.

Same, been using it long before it was bought by Microsoft. It has customizations I like, and (when it works properly) I can copy and paste between my phone and computer.

It’s hard to be non-biased. There’s not a single person who does not have a bias of some sort. The way people get bent out of shape over the bot makes me sad. It gives a decent starting point for anyone looking to start learning about the different biases and how different outlets report information. Of course it’s not a perfect bot or website it’s getting the info from, but it’s a valuable tool.

I did block it myself though. Sync gives large previews of links, so it did get a bit spammy. This could be disabled in the app’s settings, but it’s a feature I like so I can easily get to linked articles or videos. Wish I could turn it off for bots

The following was added to my fstab //192.168.86.181/TrixieTV /home/brobot/Storage/Completed/TV cifs credentials=/home/brobot/.smb 0 0 //192.168.86.181/TrixieMovies /home/brobot/Storage/Completed/Movies cifs credentials=/home/brobot/.smb 0 0

The credentials are using a new user ‘moose’ that owns the folders and has full control user=moose password=3141

I’ll look into that, thanks!

We just had a total power outage, and restarting my main machine I remembered I have Linux Mint installed as duel boot. I’ve been waiting for a final push to get me to migrate away from Windows. Would it be easier to do all this from Linux Mint instead of Windows?

No GUI on my end (It’s been fun learning to use a headless server). I have to sudo to be able to do anything in the mount locations. Using ls -s, the permissions and owner aren’t changing after using chown and chmod.

Yup, the mount is authenticated and the Share Permissions on Windows have it set to Full Control for Everyone, plus ‘Password protected sharing’ is turned off under Advanced Network Settings.

I think they were just adding to the conversation
