How do you find a specific screenshot once you have thousands of them down the line? Are they searchable somehow?

> Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he has invoked the Emergencies Act as a “last resort” to bolster the police response to convoy demonstrators and to “bring the situation fully under control.”

What was the "first resort"? Trudeau isn't even willing to speak with the protesters.

>There is still no indication Trudeau is willing to sit down or speak to convoy participants. He said he doesn’t regret describing those taking part with “unacceptable views” as a “fringe” in Canada[0] [0] https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/pm-says-everything-on-the-ta...

>This is a weird bone to pick. It's similar to saying "obesity isn't a problem, overeating is."

I read GP's comment more along the lines of "loneliness is akin to a hunger that drives the lonely person towards seeking deeper personal connection with others". Similarly to how some people argue that "boredom is a gift" which leads to creativity[0]. Instead of placating that hunger with poor substitutes, be it TV, netflix, social media, drugs etc, that drive can serve as motivation to seek out connection, the lack of which is ultimately the root cause of the loneliness.

Not sure how exact you're looking for but I believe this company Unicomp[1] bought the rights and manufacturing equipment for the model M keyboards after IBM and Lexmark stopped making them. I don't have one but allegedly they're still made in USA to the same standards as the old IBM ones.

>What I wanted to say is of course the government is not expected to be a model of information sharing

The FDA has made a public commitment to transparency regarding Covid-19 vaccines.[1] Given that, I would absolutely expect them to be a model of information sharing.

>aORs and 95% CIs were calculated using multivariable logistic regression, adjusted for age, geographic region, calendar time (days from January 1 to hospitalization), and local virus circulation, and weighted based on propensity to be in the vaccinated category (1,2).

What does it mean to adjust for local virus circulation in this context?

>On a note related to eye strain, but unrelated to blue light: the best solution I've found for eye strain is to wear reading glasses (or if you are near-sighted, glasses with an additional diopter or two) even if you don't need them. With the correct SPH value, the screen will be at optical infinity and your eyes will be fully relaxed.

This is interesting. I'm reminded of the oft repeated recommendation to "look away from your screen at something far away" every 15 mins. I wonder if you could just switch glasses to a prescription that make your eyes believe they are focusing on something at a distance. How would you figure out the right prescription for this use case?

From the article:

  The Canadian Forces had to launch an investigation after a September 2020 incident when military information operations staff forged a letter from the Nova Scotia government warning about wolves on the loose in a particular region of the province. The letter was inadvertently distributed to residents, prompting panicked calls to Nova Scotia officials who were unaware the military was behind the deception. The investigation determined the reservists conducting the operation lacked formal training and policies governing the use of propaganda techniques were not well understood by the soldiers.
