My thought is that the huge decrease in screening during the pandemic is leading to more cases being caught now that things have resumed normal.

Its kind of nice to see a "by race" article showing that race is really not showing to be a factor in this study, every line looks the same.

This is just to avoid becoming the dumping ground for previous gen tech.

If sunrise and sunset is your thing then the website suncalc.net works great to find what places will have the best views for different times of year.

I go watch the sunset as part of my solstice and equinox adventures so finding new places with nice views is fun.

I use the AR tool for sun positions every time I'm finding a tent spot or to watch a sunrise/set, and the bubble level is perfect for finding a tent spot that isn't tilted 2 degrees towards your head so you wake up with a headache.

I have a huge number of content filters, basically stopping just short of blocking the words "left" and "right" but trying to block everything else political.

What I wish I could find a way to do is pick by post language - I have nothing against a user/community, I just don't speak (usually) German.

Now...is this legal to show in public or not?

I had a 3 day paddling adventure planned but a partner with the sniffles and way more rain than called for had other ideas. Now it's VR, sewing, make soup and a shorter day trip when it clears up on Sunday.

Do they count audiobooks? Is it about consuming the content of the book or the delivery system?

None of these policies address that life is too expensive and difficult for people now for them to think about having kids....telling struggling people things will only get half as worse once they have children isn't motivating anybody.

From my therapist: In the absence of a crystal ball the best predictor of someone's future behavior is their past behavior.

When google asked if I wanted to try Gemini I gave it a try and the first time I asked it to navigate home, something I use assistant for almost daily, it said it can't access this feature but we can chat about navigating home instead - fuck that!

Even though I switched back to assistant it's still getting dumber and losing functionality - yesterday is asked it to add something to my grocery list(in keep) and it put it on the wrong list, told me the list I wanted doesn't exist, then asked if I wanted to create the list and then told me it can't create it because it already exists.

I've talk to more logical toddlers!

The first wedding I ever attended was my own...and I was 35. I somehow had friends & family who didn't get or were already married my entire life.

Still never been to a birth or a funeral.

Some personality problems, like abandonment issues or low IQ, I think of as due to genetics or adverse childhood events not the fault of the person...other traits like being a person who litters or being greedy I think of as personal failings - my questions is where would you put attention seeking behaviors like being super entitled about your wedding or lying about traumatic events?

Are these caused by social problems, and if so what might they be? Or are they just people wanting attention because it feels good and they feel entitled to do whatever they have to to get it? I have cognitive dissonance on this and am curious to hear other people's take and why.
