I very much understand your pain, my drive died mid-year while I was at university, I just cleaned it up and added it to a virtual machine with win10 to finish projects with the windows based programs.
Worked surprisingly well. I used virtual machine manager on arch (and now endeavour, I can’t stop distro hopping but I’ve stayed on endeavour the longest)
Fuck me I laughed
I’ve had great results with EndeavourOS
When the windows update bricked my OS I sighed in pure relief as I could finally stop using windows forever. As an added bonus I didn’t lose any work because the drive was fully accessible to arch… after windows said it had encrypted the drive.
Absolute trash operating system and I have zero regrets leaving.
I’m pro co-ed everything but this is not the reason it should be done lmao
Letting people twerk but not letting implied nudity indicates zero effective thought or principle on these actions.
Absolutely incompetent morons.
Santo’s for Trumps VP and they both run the country from prison.
That’ll be an interesting and hilarious fall of the new Rome.
This doesn’t matter.
I can download and run my own build without any watermarking or I can download a watermarking version and remove the watermarking function.
This is wholly inept and indicates a fundamental misunderstanding of how the technology even functions.
The ONLY option is to force education on the people in order to get them to learn to critically think, but that would be objectively bad for every elected official since the only reason most of them have their jobs is because their constituents either can’t critically think or don’t follow their ‘promises’ post election.
we’re letting you keep contraception
Jesus fucking christ
The insane addition in the USA is due to so many middle men working to up the cost basis to increase their bottom line, essentially the insurance companies are running a racket.
Here is the associated research report that the link I provided used for their data aggregation and comparisons:

Specifically for your question about cost basis it seems they tallied the total price for the insulin based on its chemical costs (for each type of insulin) and then cross referenced that with the price placed down on both prescription drugs and over the counter drugs listed in the IQVIA MIDAS database:
“In our analysis, we used prescription-drug market data from IQVIA’s MIDAS database.2 The data we examined cover the year 2018 and span 33 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, including the United States.3 We did not restrict our analysis to prescription drugs, as certain insulins are available over the counter in some countries (including the United States).” - RAND RRA788 PDF Page 2, Paragraph 2; Mulcahy, Schawm & Edenfield “Comparing insulin prices in the United States to Other Countries” 2020.
(IQVIA MIDAS: https://www.iqvia.com/solutions/commercialization/brand-strategy-and-management/market-measurement/midas)
Once they had a general understanding and baseline for what the products should cost they then indexed and compared prices globally using volume weighted pricing, they do note specifically that the manufacturer prices they used from MIDAS does not reflect rebates or discounts that would exist at point of sale (RAND RRA788 Pg 3 Para 2).

I don’t believe I’m being cynical, I think I’m being realistic.
Recall that the formula for insulin was given for free to the university of toronto and now most people in the USA cannot afford insulin even though the cost of creation has not changed since the 1950’s.
It was only extremely recently that 35 dollar insulin became available in the USA and that’s still obscenely overpriced.

Specifically I’m not discounting her for being a stripper as much as I am the cock-based nepotism involved in her acquiring her current position.
If she actually had a decent thought in her brain, her past wouldn’t matter, however, her sucking cock is why she got the job, not because she actually was qualified for it.
A stripper or adult entertainer can be qualified for the job if she or he has the mental faculties to actually reflect on and try to improve the situation of their constituents, but that’s not what she’s doing nor what she was put in her position for.
Can’t wait for it to be specifically priced for only the 1% to be able to afford. Just like all the other cancer drugs that work.
It’s ridiculous that elected officials can be so unbelievably fucking stupid.
What a fucking waste of tax dollars
How about we get a president that isn’t over 70 and doesn’t require uppers to function, like biden, or literal adult diapers, like trump.
Both options are garbage and both men need to retire.
He’s a morbidly obese fuck who eats nothing but fast food and literally wears adult diapers and has been covering the smell of his shit filled diapers with grotesque cologne from the 90’s since his time on the apprentice.
No shit he smells bad.
As a former christian I can confirm that the vast majority of christians in the multiple communities I grew up in have not read, reflected nor understood the teachings.
I read the bible in full, reflected on it, appreciated the views of morality and accepted that it was a work of fiction based on the actions of few people whose lives were greatly exaggerated for the purposes of controlling the people who refuse to read and reflect on the materials at hand.
If software works I’ll use it.
I prefer firefox but I’m not going to tell someone not to use a piece of software because the creator is a retard.
Learn to be angry at the right things and grow up. Jesus fucking christ people are so god damn stupid now days.
“Waahh I don’t like this guys political position so I’m going to try to defame all his work and the work of hundreds of others because of one guys personal opinion”
If this had said something like ‘v3 manifest will be rolled out and they’re going to be anti-anonymity’ then I’d be salty because that would mean the software is becoming less useful.
Anyone who thinks like this should stop using the internet because, spoiler, the entire backbone of the internet has been contributed to by everyone of every faith, creed and philosophy which means thousands of people you ‘hate’ have contributed to your literal bitching about those very people online.
Get over yourselves. Actual fucking children.
This author is a moron.
Use firefox (or librefox).
It’s bobby’s world.
He’s a billionaire and will never see consequences for his actions.
Same as every other billionaire.
It’s incompetent and immature morons that continue to push segregation, and realistically the more they fight it the more I have to ask “what did you do”
