    They will probably need it for illumination when the ground war starts but they definitely don't need it during air raids.

    There's simply no way to build in a backup system here. It wasn't a matter of getting them down but getting them out of their seats without falling. Even if it had a roof, you can't open the seats and have users dump out. Could easily kill someone

    It's horrible but trying to force-ably separate them at this point would only lead to the minors being hidden from view, deepening the abuse. Additionally, the minors are highly unlikely to actually leave their spouse, no matter how bad their situation is. Adding fuel to the "society doesn't want us together" would only serve to deepen the minor's distrust in everyone but their spouse, making it much harder to help them from any ongoing abuse.

  • New Vaccine Can Completely Reverse Autoimmune Diseases Like Multiple Sclerosis, Type 1 Diabetes, and Crohn’s Disease
  • parrot-party parrot-party Now 100%

    The real reason it takes time is because we try not to harm people even in experimental drug testing. It would be much faster to simply toss shit at the wall and see what sticks, but that's not exactly humane. So we have to find analogues that hopefully mimick humans will enough, but they don't really work well. So it takes lots of time to build up enough evidence with those preliminary tests to convince the safety board to allow human trials. Then trials have to slowly scale up to limit the amount of people harmed by unforseen effects with a lot of time between as the safety board reviews the previous results before allowing the next test.

    It's all good to do, but it does make development frustratingly slow sometimes. Especially when people are actively dying waiting for the new drugs.

  • [Rumor] Nintendo Switch 2 SOC May Be Produced on a 5nm Process Node; To Have Max Clock Speed Higher Than 2.5 GHz - Rumor

  • parrot-party parrot-party Now 62%

    No but it does need enough performance to be capable of running games in low quality modes. The Switch is so anemic that many big budget games are simply not even trying anymore as performant running can't be achieved without complete rewrites of engine code. So a better Switch that is at least a low spec gaming computer will enable more big games to many the effort of trying to support it.

  • Which side are you? Javascript or Typescript

    Yes but the support is very recent and hasn't been fully accepted yet. Therefore, I can't use it in enterprise. I have to wait for full adoption.

    There are some cases where this is a serious issue that can't be solved through pure CSS. Once container units are finally approved though, that will solve quite a few problematic layout issues in CSS.

  • Which side are you? Javascript or Typescript
  • parrot-party parrot-party Now 100%

    The fact that you're doubling down on your ignorance is quite problematic. Typescript is not an enterprise system that forms arcane JS. It's literally JS with a slight adjustment that allows you to say "also this is this type". You write JS the entire time and can "disable" the typescript at any location you need to not be typed.

    There's no political or social will for mass community measures. It would take a 1000 percent uptick in deadliness before we could even begin discussing sweeping shutdowns and masking. Like it or not, reality is that we can only do what we can on a personal level.

    The solution is plainly visible. They need to depose the tyrant. The problem is, too many of them agree with the tyrant. Yes Putin rigs elections but he's not inventing his support out of nothing. So until they can clean up their shit, it looks like they'll be sending their youth to the meat grinder.

    Now that federation works, we need more clarity of source

    I'm seeing the federated content, but it's hard to tell where the content came from. Currently, the only reliable way to see the source is by reading the URL when you're viewing a thread. It doesn't work well on mobile though and it doesn't work for the feed. How work everyone feel if the magazine included the source always? So instead of saying kbinMeta, you'd see kbinMeta@kbin.social? Or would you prefer another solution?
