My brother caught it first. He developed keloids from it. I was maybe 6 or 7 at the time. I had to wear mittens on my hands till it healed.

Back in my day our parents had parties for chicken pox. The older you get, the worse it is.

There was no vaccine when I was a child.

Didn’t have the equipment for either.

We don’t have a rescue ship just sitting around. It’d take months to get one ready.

There really wasn’t another option for Columbia. It was die in space or die trying to land.

I do.

Both have the same issue of excessive barrel wear. Main difference is rail guns use no explosives at all. It’s all kinetic energy. It’s insane how much of a punch they pack. My limited understanding is that’s why we have not put any in service. The go through barrels too quickly

Iraq was working on one as well though many years later

They also lost federal funds unrelated to their BLM support. Looks like death by a thousand paper cuts.

Since labor is a cost. You just defeated your argument.

If labor goes up, prices will go up. It’s that simple. Fast food is only profitable at high volumes. Their profit margin is only around 10% which is low.

Here is what I found.

Interesting way to do federation. I get why they’d want to do that due to their inquire take on things but seems to be against the spirit.

That is actually what Elon said yet the media keeps twisting it. He is prohibited from providing a signal in Crimea because of sanctions. If Biden agrees, he’ll turn it on. He can’t turn it on just because Ukraine makes a request as federal law overrides them. Now I’m surprised Biden has made such a request even secretly in the background

Most states have medical prisons to detain those with special needs.

Here is an example of one.

Sometimes they’ll be paroled if they are Low risk. That way the tax payer isn’t financially responsible.

Ironically medical care is a right to prisoners but it’s not for everyone else.

I didn’t realize Estonia had already joined nato. When they talk about nations donating to Ukraine, Estonia tops the list based on gdp.

Well I learned something new today. I didn’t realize they were part of nato. I thought they were still waiting for to join

The problem is Estonia can’t hold out again Russia for very long. They just don’t have a large enough military.

Maybe nato needs to send troops to train them like 100k or so.

One article I read said he likes to fire whole teams and then see which people are asked about. Those are the ones he rehires. If nobody misses you then you were doing a job of value.

From a human level, this is just shitty. It isn’t the way to treat people.

If you want lemmy to be more active, make it more active. If you want users to engage more, then give them something to engage with. Every user is part of what happens here, even more than on reddit. That is why I am active.

Maybe your instance has defederated with too many others?

Lemm.ee is great about letting you decide what to filter. I can’t say enough good things about the admin.

Do you mean lemmy as a whole?

It’s been a while since I’ve seen the number, but last I saw, they were trending down on all counts.
