Nothing of real value was lost when we lost theatres. Expensive ticket prices, usually substandard presentations seemed to be the norm.

How does simply lacking a more exacting term for race mean that they had no concept of people who were different? In historical context is a nation not usually comprised of a phenotype?

Absurd conclusions drawn here. Is the author supposing that they conceptually didn't understand different enthicities before Darwin? I highly doubt the basic premise that they are drawing conclusions from.

The concepts of different people being, well, different, existed before Darwin did. The article is confusing semantics with concepts

Misleading title. Nextdoor instead pushes racial division nonsense

If it wasn't for HN I'd have no idea it existed. I see 0 mention of it elsewhere on the web (that I spend time)

Nope it isn't! I bet the manual warns ya it's for adult use only

How is it negligence? Are the parents not negligent for letting their kids play with dangerous equipment?

I thought young child and big machine was a no brainer

They shouldn't blame Microsoft. They should blame themselves for using microsoft

Both comments being ad hominem of course. When the "good" journals are plagued with a "replication crisis" aka fraud the appeal to authority of what publication the paper appears in falls flat

For reference, here is the track record of the "good" medical journals https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis#In_medici...

The peice of paper the family paid for is not a proper autospy. One that ignores factual data is invalid

And re: the autopsy listing as homicide https://forensicresources.org/2019/homicide-manner-of-death-...

Badens "autopsy" lacked tissue samples and toxicology. So, it's based off incomplete data. What data was the celebrity autopsy based off of if they didn't have access to tissue or tox screens? Sounds like a high dollar guess to me.

Ignoring toxicology is an abuse of medicine.

Attacked by police? He was out of the car by his own request.

Also have you seen the footage from the store? There is no alleged about his intoxication level.

He wasn't sufficated by the police either. The autopsy didn't show trauma or death by asphyxiation.

Someone fearing overdose isn't likely to lie, they would worry more about dying. Havingg drugs in your system isn't particularly illegal beyond a ticket for PI.

The article talks about the plausibility according to linguistics while entirely ignoring the reality according to toxicology.

Occam's razor suggests that he said "I ate too many drugs" because that is the logical thing for someone to say if they were panicking that they overdosed

"I ain't do no drugs" acceptable english to this author

"I ate too many drugs" something nobody says according to this author.

I have spent time in drug harm reduction. The phrase "I ate too many drugs" I have heard more than once. Especially in online drug communities

This author tries really hard to prove that he didn't say "I ate too many drugs" to the point of absurdity. Who knows what he said? Nobody really. There isn't a reason to conjure reasons to pidgenhole a dead man's words to fit a narrative

Especially considering one of the two things isnt even factual if you read the autopsy. Floyd definitely was incredibly intoxicated

So, you draw the text box in the size and position you need? All of these "features" sound like training wheels for graphic designers. It's not hard whatsoever to accomplish, and assuredly not worth paying monthly for. If you know in general how to edit graphics the tool you use is irrelevant

Hold shift? It's not hard

That's not how to align text on gimp. The text tool has an alignment feature. It aligns the text within the text box

Outlining text is easy too. true, there isn't a magic text outline button, you must use the same method you would use to outline any arbitrary object.

The sum of your complaints are because you know how to do it in PS. I am a professional graphics designer and artist and I use gimp exclusively.

Don't pay to be a beta tester

Maybe because according to the cdcs report there was only a few percent difference between masked and unasked infection rates? Nevermind the report ignored conflating factors. There is not even good data that masks prevent infections in a surgical theatre, which is much more controllable than population at large

What makes your product unique or better than GIMP?

Am I the only skeptic that questions if the controller is really not connected?

The fact that there is not an uproar over a few companies controlling the flow of information here is astounding to me.

And not just doing it the more rational way, by soaking something porus with dilute alpha pinene

In group chat constantly there are members who you cannot decrypt.

Matrix is still broken though. I find XMPP to be sufficient at least until matrix fixes their group encryption

Xmpp isn't unreliable. iOS sucks. Gajim works just fine on desktop too. There isn't a lack of support across platforms, just apple.

I mean I get it, but those who trade security for convinence deserve neither

I just joined and I believe I have encountered this already

Ios or android? I have had great success with conversations on android
