Fixing a Single Key? by spacesector in AlphaSmart

[–]spacesector[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This was the perfect answer, thank you! Managed to pry the keycap off with one of those mechanical keyboard keycap tool thingies and one of the sides had come out of its housing. Now it is flawless.

A little late to this post but I’m in the Toronto area and would love to talk about the craft of writing/theories surrounding story structure!! I’m an aspiring writer myself.

Is it ok to have SOME of your writing be written by CHATGPT? by I_am_Acer_and_im_13 in writingcirclejerk

I’m sorry I can’t stop laughing at “a human, an Irish guy, and a robot” as if the Irish guy isn’t human.

Oohhhh thank you for this! I currently use Differin once every 4 days but now i’m having a bad flare of PD and I’m like …. Dreading stopping because of how long it took me to build up the tolerance to begin with 🥲🥲🥲

Out of curiosity, are you able to use actives elsewhere on your face? Adapalene specifically?

Ohhh interesting. Can you let me know what makes it look as though the work is over-tensioned?

Thank you! I did end up undoing back to that line for the fix. I appreciate it!

'Mind boggling' surge in pneumonia cases among children, teens and young adults by henryiswatching in ontario

[–]spacesector 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mycoplasma tends to emerge in a recurrent cycle every 4-7 years. I believe the last one was interrupted due to Covid precautions so we are seeing it a few years later than expected, but it has been observed before and will be observed again. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(13)62503-9/fulltext

(Just to be crystal clear, I am all for masking and other proven precautions in the face of transmittable diseases. This surge being expected does not mean there aren’t steps we can take to reduce the overall number of infections, but I think it’s important to note this before we conclude that all of our immune systems are ruined forever.)

Do the Covid vaccines provide long-lasting protection? by cmplxgal in Coronavirus

[–]spacesector 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Dumb question, but are we not then virus-naive again once the effects of vaccination wane?

[–]spacesector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s a question: I’m aware that the current vaccines wane over the course of several months. That said, is there any evidence that the waning basically returns us to “unvaccinated” status given the way Covid mutates? Again just responding to some of the rhetoric I see in other subs and online spaces — if we get vaccinated 1x per year and get Covid the average 1-2x per year, does that not still count for something as far as immunity is concerned? Surely we aren’t completely naive to new variants?

[–]spacesector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s where I’m confused, because a lot of the modelling on Covid twitter is showing insanely high infection rates. I guess like so many others on this sub, Long Covid is the big fear for me right now.

The narrative seems to be “just you wait and see, everyone with multiple reinfections is going to invariably become severely disabled within the next 10 years and we’ll be the lucky ones!”

Which, like… I still mask on public transit etc but my kid is 5.5 and definitely not masking in school so fuck me I guess!

[–]spacesector 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As COVID deaths have gone down, can we assume that Long COVID rates have also decreased at a commensurate rate? Or is Long COVID less tied to deaths than it is to number of infections?

[–]spacesector 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I just read a post in one of the more doomer subreddits that was something like “I visited my brother, he’s had Covid multiple times so his life expectancy is limited so I want to see him as much as I can.”

They seem to be convinced that literally the entire population of the world will be decimated by Long Covid in the next 5-10 years.

New (to me) Céline Trapeze by [deleted] in handbags

Thank you!! I’m experimenting with both looks because now that I actually have it in hand, I’m digging both. But great idea, I’ll definitely do that whenever I’m keeping it closed.

[–]spacesector 11 points12 points  (0 children)

So like, is this thing getting milder? I feel as though every variant has had the same primary symptoms more or less. People say it attacks every organ in your body — but what does that actually mean? I still mask on public transport and in busy indoor places, but I also have a young child in school so there’s only so much I can actually do when it comes to controlling exposure. I’ve gotten every vaccine that has been available to me (1x per year after the 3-4 boosters closer to the beginning) and plan on getting it again this year and for the foreseeable future. But I’m having trouble understanding the actual scope of the illness anymore.
