Yep. Def can't wait to hear about how it's the midterms so we have to wait, and then the next presidential election is coming up so we have to wait. And the dems bobbing along like the doofs they are with it.

blocking the justice won't help their political goals since the court will still remain conservative and stirring this particular pot might cost them their seats because it's utterly pointless. They'll go along with it

My grandpa got a kidney transplant in the 80’s and was always super serious about following the rules and medical advice, and had to take like 20 pills a day.

If someone isn’t willing to follow basic medical advice I’m sure there are other people in need of organs who will.

Hell yeah I was hunched over my computer zeroed in on a spreadsheet and ANOTHER emergency alert blasted my phone that was on the table next to my ear scaring the poo poo out of me, and it was just placeholder text. And of course as I was typing this the actual alert that it was supposed to be screamed in my face.

Can I opt out of these things, I would honestly rather have a raging maniac break into my house and shoot me in the face or have a tornado rip through my house in my sleep than ever have to hear this loving screeching blaring tone wake me up in the middle of the night and instantly make my blood boil gently caress

Specs are good. CPU is from two generations ago but that's not a huge issue given the number of cores. That's a solid video card that should last a while with everything maxed or close to maxed at that resolution, which is really the only knock I have against it spec-wise.

This review says that it can get pretty hot while gaming and the fans are loud, but still recommends it overall. Biggest problem they detail is an extremely short battery life: https://www.tomsguide.com/reviews/alienware-m15-r4-2021

Any person obsessed enough with their resume to be considered a Supreme Court candidate can easily rationalize the lack of actual impact of their job. And it's not like it'll be a ton of wasted effort for a person to be on the losing side of a bunch of cases. Supreme Court justice is a sinecure that only requires you to flip of lever for your partisan preference and proof read your clerk's work. Literally any of us could do it.

My wife and I aren't quite there yet, but I think it's a distinct possibility it'll happen in the next couple of years. I could probably accelerate it by selling our house, but I have no clue where we would move without just getting gouged again and taking on a bunch of new debt.

Good luck! I can't stand the feeling of being in debt. I racked up some credit card debt during a period of unemployment and paying it off was a huge saga, thankfully it's done now. I still have a credit score in the 650s with no credit utilization and that should be enough to live wherever I want. Of course, for those who have the money for a down payment having a mortgage makes sense. I just don't think that's in the cards for me.

The brain is weird!

basically it takes one of your eyes and that's the important one, and then the other eye adds depth perception. You can discover which of your eyes is dominant with a simple test you can do right now!
https://www.allaboutvision.com/resources/dominant-eye-test.htm

Okay I did the first test and I swear that the object stays centered in neither eye. Close one eye it moves one direction, close the other it moves the other direction.

However the second test did seem to work and it seems my left eye is my dominant eye. I was surprised it wasn't my right as I am right dominant in every other way. Do you think it's that the left side of the brain controls the right side of the body? Probably not.


Well that's a lie, there are many ways to test a squirrel for meth. No I do not speak from experience specifically with squirrels, but still.

Apart from personally strongly preferring desktops as being easier to fix and upgrade (and not really liking 15 inch screens), it's a very solid deal. Personally I'd also swing for the 2 or 2x2 TB NVMe drives (or 2x1 + 512, the 512 can be the boot drive) especially if you will be gaming and using the thing heavily.

I paid quite a bit more in total for my original premade desktop (around 1.1k I believe) plus the 3070 and a few other add-ons like NVMe and several other drives (800 or 900 bucks).

A young center-left supreme court judge's job is to be irrelevant for a long time, but cling to the dream that perhaps in a decade or two, enough of the older conservatives will happen to die on a democratic watch to swing the court back to a point where they're relevant again. It's happened before!

It's also just incredibly prestigious and ensures your name will be written in history books for centuries. Nobody remembers "6th circuit appeals court judge Smith" but "supreme court judge Smith" is as big a deal as any judge can ever aspire to. You're basically guaranteed multiple biographies, legal scholars will study you, you'll get to write some dissenting opinions that will be talked about in law school classrooms all over the country, etc.


ANyway hey medical goons, since my cough and tighness in the chest/gurgling breathing at night is still going on (I'm in Day 24 of symptoms, never tested positive for covid but I couldn't get an at-home test until day 10 of symptoms or a PCR till day 15) a random doctor I was able to get to see last week prescribed me inhalers for "if I need them." Albuterol and Alvesco. The Albuterol makes total sense, immediate relief and it looks like it's being widely prescribed for covid symptoms. I'm less sure about the Alvesco, because of this:
https://www.healio.com/news/primary-care/20211122/alvesco-no-better-than-placebo-for-alleviating-covid19-symptoms
The drug instructions for Alvesco say you take it for weeks and it may not start having an effect until like week 4. That seems like an odd option for what I'm really hoping will be a near-term recovery? Maybe this study was only looking at short-term help for covid-positive acute patients.

My inclination is to trust the doctor and take the stuff, but I'm interested in whether there's any actual controversy over this med for non-asthma chest tightness/breathing symptoms of maybe-long-covid.

I'm right-handed and right-eye dominant. It's certain that handedness isn't strictly determinative of eye dominance. WebMD etc. say that it's "more common" for the dominant eye to match the dominant hand, for whatever that's worth.
