Active Desktop was entirely ahead of its time. Let’s not forget that it was only around a decade later that JIT-compiled JavaScript engines like V8 paved the way for web apps, including the iPhone which at launch only supported third-party apps as web apps.
Worse, to me, is that there is a perfectly grammatically correct way to be just as brief.
Wrong:
The bed sheets need washed.
Right:

the car needs washed
Is there a name/term for this abomination? I’ve only ever heard one person speak in that form (omitting “to be”), and it has haunted me ever since.
Good. The rampant abuse of the ccTLDs is atrocious.
ICU level care
Acute care, understood.
referring to like, fists.
i.e. “I need Olanzapine [broad receptor affinity, highly anti-cholinergic, well-tolerated], but, like, faster.” I’m surprised that particular aspect of the side effect profile comes into play with acute usage.
I’m unsure if you don’t work inpatient psychiatry or you just work somewhere significantly classier than I do.
Ah, yes, this happens a lot. No, I don’t work in the medical field at all. I just know things, for reasons.
I do work in an inner city area that’s flush with people stuck in a cycle of drugs / homelessness
i.e. the psychosis has done so much cumulative damage at this point that you need to fall back to the typicals. That explains why the third-gens are useless.
On a different note, have you heard about Cobenfy yet?
It obviously isn’t suited to the needs of your practice. But I’m really glad we’re making progress on alternative treatment approaches, especially novel ones like anti-muscarinics.
Hopefully the new glutamatergics can reach your setting soon.
In 2024? Why? Risperdal is such a blunt instrument with respect to its broad affinity for receptors.
Even worse, that was done intentionally. They wanted to prevent retail stores from leaving them plugged in at all times.
There are several monospace adaptations of Comic Sans which are great for use in terminals or IDEs. I particularly like this one:

I have never seen another terminal font that is so easy and fast to grok.
We originally reached out to 9Elements last year along with several other coreboot consultants, but all of their prices were so outrageous ($50k-$100K per board) that we decided to try porting our laptops ourselves. After hitting a sticking point, we reluctantly contacted them again for help debugging our code.
From the start, our interactions with Christian Walter were awful. We repeatedly stressed how important and time-sensitive this project was, but he seemed completely indifferent. In fact, he made a snide remark about us coming back after trying to do it ourselves.
We never received a quote for the actual porting, but they said the evaluation cost is typically 10% of the total cost, which would mean the porting would have cost around $33,000 for Dasharo-branded coreboot, and $66,000 for unbranded coreboot. Even their highly discounted Dasharo-branded porting comes out to around $250 to $330 an hour, and that’s if they started from scratch. We had 80%+ of the job already complete. We just needed to debug our code.
Sometimes people take their vehicle to mechanics and don’t like the quotes for the repair costs. Some of those people then choose to try to do the work at home. Sometimes one of those people will then reluctantly take the car back to the mechanic after they screw up the work.
And then they balk, because they discover that (A) the mechanic will outright refuse to work on the vehicle due to it being in a dismantled state, or (B) the mechanic will give an even higher quote since they now have to diagnose and clean up the mistakes too.
I think USENET is having a resurgence with the cool kids? 🤷♂️

I haven’t even taken the free trial.

If you don’t have the means of faking your location with root (not through developer settings), drive to, like, any nearby car dealership.

Open the app, tap the “Enter Radio ID” button, and… do that.

Profit!

You can repeat this process indefinitely. It has worked for years. They do not care.
If they don’t, someone else will
That’s not why they’re selling.
Congress let the FCC spectrum auction/allocation authority expire in 2023. So the FCC is unable to allocate new spectrum licenses to carriers. Even the spectrum that was already auctioned has been in limbo.
That makes transfer/sale of existing licenses the only path to acquisition, which significantly raises the prospective value of those assets.
T-Mobile doesn’t want their customers or their infrastructure. They want the spectrum. And because Congress is sitting on their hands, US Cellular is able to demand a higher premium now than they likely ever would again.

You don’t need solid state storage for Linux ISOs
Teams is built on Edge webview. It’s Microsoft’s lighter-weight version of Electron.
You have to opt into that behavior. It prompts you on first launch
Does that account for cooling? Storage? Networking? Non-H100 compute and memory?
