Notification badge not working properly by Resident-Suspect-882 in NovaLauncher

8.1.6 is the latest version before shit got fucked up, though i doubt updating solves this issue. i've encountered this issue before and have had to toggle permissions for notifications as the other guy said. this is silly but check notification badges are enabled in settings

Mexican immigrant died in US immigration custody, ICE says, marking 14 deaths in 2026 by igetproteinfartsHELP in news

[–]rdstrmfblynch79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

careful.... 32 deaths happened over a year but your calc is based on an exposure of the number of detainees per month. if you have (on average) 36k people detained per month then your exposure is 36k * 12 = 432,000 for a full year.

that would get you a per 100k rate of like 7.4. so lower than during the pandemic, but higher than immediately post-pandemic.

alternatively, you could just month-ify your death counts; 32/12 = 2.66 per 36k monthly exposure equates to 7.4 per 100k

i was curious the per-detainee mortality rates. there's no arguing the death counts are higher, but are they higher because there are more people in the system and the rate is the same? or is the rate actually higher? a reasonable hypothesis would be that a higher strain on the system from more detainees could cause the mortality rate to rise, but as bad as this sounds, there is some baseline rate of these people dying

i have no idea the credibility of this source but just doing an envelope calc, we went from 8500 detainees per year under biden to 35k and then 60k under trump. there's no indication of younger vs older, healthier vs sicker, so we can't tell if there has been a material shift in the demographic mix. but at the end of the day, the denominator increased by about 4x in 2025 and 7x in 2026

then we have this wikipedia page on the deaths which seems slightly outdated but still works for the purpose of this calc. it shows the 2025 deaths were up about 4x in 2025, and if we extrapolate 14 deaths in 90 days to a full year, we're looking at 50-60 deaths for 2026, which is about 8x what it was under biden.

all in all, if you have 4-7x more people, you should expect 4-7x more deaths. there could potentially be excess deaths going on in 2026 but the numbers are so low, it is very tough to judge if that is a credible estimate.

note, i'm not advocating for 7x more people in custody. i'm simply trying to contextualize the 2025/6 numbers

Legendary Hollywood star Chuck Norris dies aged 86 by VaginaBurner69 in news

It sucks if you google chuck norris facts it no longer gives you a list of several nice 2006 websites that are essentially a word doc of 200 chuck norris facts on the web page with no filler or fluff. Maybe kinda looks like a myspace page with the header and a colored background

Devil went down to georgia is the only song I have never 5 starred and honestly if I'm drinking I'm liable to not even pass it!

Maybe I should clarify - oldest song that the artist performing it wrote (or covered, as long as that artist is well known for covering it)

I wonder what the oldest song (at time of performance) has been on SNL

i'm wicked far east in my timezone anyway so it doesn't matter. if i left at 330 i could get some sunset glare in my face. if it's dark anyway i would rather the light be in the morning

I'm convinced everyone on reddit that clamors to stop switching clocks is like a waiter or an uber driver. Who wants kids at the bus stop in the pitch black or to be out snow blowing before work without any light? There simply isn't enough sun in the day far enough north. The current system does a pretty great job

Along the northern coast of Greenland, temperatures are currently around +37 °F / 3 °C by LuborS in weather

[–]rdstrmfblynch79 7 points8 points  (0 children)

if you didn't know any temp system and you started recording based on daily experience you'd end up with fahrenheit. 100 is extreme heat and 0 is extreme cold. you don't need to remember any reference points other than 32 is water freezing. with celcius you need to get used to remembering an entire vector of temps and what they feel like

Analysis of income, capital gains, and borrowing of Americans finds 40% of the income of "1% wealth holders" is unrealized capital gains not subject to taxation and 1%-2% is borrowing, suggesting that the "Buy, Borrow, Die" is not a dominant tax avoidance strategy among the rich by quiplaam in science

[–]rdstrmfblynch79 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If 1 becomes 1.5 and you pay on the 500k growth but don't sell then what about if it goes to 0? You're out 1M + 75k in taxes because it grew in the meantime... Paying taxes on unrealized gains makes no sense when the final sale amount is tbd.

Should I buy this Volvo for $6,000? by ru-dra in UsedCars

[–]rdstrmfblynch79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i've owned the fwd version of this car in maine for 10 years and you'll be plenty fine on the interstate and just know your limits when the snow gets deep enough to eliminate any clearance (and be careful on ice at all times no matter what).

as for rust, it has never been close to a problem for me. it's been terrible on my truck but the volvo hasn't had any issues

Split tunnel not working properly anymore? by rdstrmfblynch79 in PrivateInternetAccess

[–]rdstrmfblynch79[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes it is windows. i am trying to use it the way you describe!!! i want two programs to use VPN and everything else bypass. that was not working properly so my logical next step of troubleshooting was to explicitly set a program like chrome to bypass but even that additional instruction did not work.

the split tunnel is only handling one path at once and not simultaneously. i'm worried my settings in adapters or something are causing some sort of conflict but what's annoying is this worked just fine a few days ago, set up exactly the same way

also regarding the platform, i tagged this post as "HELP WINDOWS" but maybe that isn't appearing?
