they’ll mug ya for a ciggie all right!

no i’m saying that insurance has nothing to do with what i’m saying… government provided healthcare follows a whole different set of rules: i keep pushing back on that point and you keep bringing up insurance, which i agree would show absolutely nothing

however anything that has the government paying for it has has to pass significant hurdles before it gets added to the list of approved treatments - scientific hurdles; not just hand wavy nonsense

chiro might be unregulated where you are, but in australia it is regulated as a medical profession: https://www.chiropracticboard.gov.au/ which is part of AHPRA - the australian health practitioner regulation agency: https://www.ahpra.gov.au/

i agree… the fact that public health care does, given the rigorous structures that are in place to follow medical advice, does though

and i agree for things covered by health insurance alone: we have similar… you can get private health insurance in australia that covers crap like homeopathy too, and they also cover a huge amount more chiro than the government does

don’t write it off completely… yes there’s a bunch of bullshit, but it’s also not entirely quack shit

australia’s healthcare system covers chiropractic in limited circumstances, and our system is generally very good at evidence-based health (you’re allowed to get private health insurance to cover alternative medicines if you want but stuff the government pays for is well supported by evidence)

with a GP referral and chronic condition management plan (written by your GP: this is an offical well defined thing) you get up to 5 total visits to “allied health” professionals which includes chiro, physio, dieticians, etc

when i say threw it i mean probably equivalent to dropping it from at least 1, maybe 2 storeys up so it had some momentum to it (it was an accident … a stupid, stupid accident)

plastic would have cracked for sure and exposed the internals directly to the concrete before taking away much force, or would have bent and not really protected much

the deceleration was probably higher, but that force was spread evenly rather than on a point, and the components in a macbook are very solidly attached to the frame, which again would have helped spread the deceleration force over more area - imo

alternatively, i say mac because its quicker than laptop/computer/pc and macbook because it provides more context with the same amount of effort… without that context, people will assume windows, which is fine - it’s not a status thing (for me) - but when discussing how to get things done, it avoids the minor annoyance of mismatched expectations for no extra effort

idk i was pretty upset when i accidentally threw my $6000 macbook at the very corner of a concrete surface and it got scuffed up but id have been far more worried about a non-macbook… the gash in the aluminium would have been completely fucked plastic and internals

idk about the US but in australia most ceiling fans plug into standard outlets in the roof, so a smart plug is usually all you need

i have a humidity sensor in the bathroom that turns the ceiling fan on, and the way that works is that it compares the bathroom humidity to humidity in other areas of the house, so it takes into account humid/dry days automatically

it must be miserable mistrusting people for no reason at all

like i have nothing to prove to you and keep this identity separate to work adjacent activities so im not listing them :)

i’m fine with the change. why would i get involved when im involved with other FOSS efforts and much prefer systemd to every other option

then perhaps you should have made the PR rather than completely overreacting about someone else’s implementation of an entirely optional, unverified text field

why not? in multi user environments the user could be in any number of office locations… tracking that information is useful

just because it’s not useful for you doesn’t mean it’s not useful to anyone

imo speaking with an american accent wouldn’t even particularly call you out… i know a bunch of people that speak english as a second language that speak with at least somewhat of an american accent

it’s okay it’s there out of frame; it just has to be safe for meta platforms

BUT ITS CHILLA TIME

but it’s not a 1000000x return!

sell at $100… got it! thanks future me! will do!
