CDC has nothing to do with such "safety tests." Clinical trials related to drug approval is the purview of FDA, and it was FDA that decided to issue approvals in absence of the required clinical trials. Clinical trial data is what's used to establish both efficacy and safety, with "at risk" manufacturing strictly prohibited under the CFR.
I migrated from Pale Moon to Brave, after being a user for years. Pale Moon simply isn't the project it used to be. There's a huge amount of developer drama, which started impacting getting actual feature requests and bug fixes addressed. On top of that, Pale Moon is simply getting outpaced by the rate the internet is changing. More and more sites are nonfunctional, including just about everything considered "mainstream." It's no longer a browser you can daily drive.
Woodcock isn't a feminist, she's a megalomaniac. Her position as director of CDER was a constant for years on end, while a number of commissioners came and went (or the position was entirely vacant). She ran her little fiefdom at CDER virtually unimpeded and unsupervised, making contrary decisions on similar drug products at her "discretion," as well as having a hand in virtually every FDA failure that led to the opioid epidemic.
I don't want to tip my hand too much on this one, but I can tell you with certainty that Woodcock ran CDER on her own agenda above all else.
It depends very much on both the church and the denomination, with Catholic churches generally being the worst. But churches usually reflect the local population more than anything, either wholesale, or with the population split between congregations.
For example, I have several churches in my town with values across the complete spectrum of today's politics. One always supports the current thing on their sign out front, with messages about Floyd, BLM, vaccines, Ukraine, and so on. Another referred to Biden as an example of a literal demon during service a few Sundays ago, and urged everyone to support the red wave. The first church is Methodist, and the second is Baptist, so denomination only tells you so much about a church and its congregation.
Flying these days is incredibly cheap.
Not anymore it's not, at least in the US. Economy seats to vacation destinations are now going for what used to be first class pricing. For example, want a direct flight to Aruba from Newark? That will be $2,000. The only way to get a decent price today is to either have a lot of date flexibility, or to be okay with multiple stops.
You mention both, by name, in your original post. The primary content of the post doesn't make the Formula E line stop existing, and I certainly didn't conflate the two in my previous comment as you're implying. To quote the relevant portions again:
Recently, I came across Formula E. The all-electric version of Formula 1
Today I watched Extreme E, which is the rally equivalent (electric)
I normally wouldn't care about the, "Recently, I came across," here, but it's relevant in the context of the perspective you led the post with, along with the review paragraph about Formula E itself. It wasn't, "Recently, I finally watched," but rather it implied that you recently learned about or stumbled upon it. And that doesn't match with your claimed perspective.
And I definitely wouldn't typically care about replying to a week-old post, but I don't mind squabbling about context if you care enough to reply this many days later.
I was really hoping this was a new Ken-sama copypasta, because that's how it reads.
I like motorsport, so I watch a lot of it. I try to go in person, where possible. I know some local drivers personally, and I have considered becoming a track “official”. That’s my starting point for this “perspective”.
Recently, I came across Formula E.
There's absolutely no way you're a big motorsports fan, but also just learned about Formula E.
why is the overwhelmingly liberaloid education system in the US so fucking expensive
The other replies answer why, but not how. And the answer is student loans themselves.
College used to be something you had to work for, even if the relative cost was lower. If you didn't have the money or didn't want to spend it, you didn't go. But today, everyone gets free money to waste on whatever degree they want. So in addition to an increase demand, you now have a situation where the average student can "afford" a lot more than they previously could. No one should be surprised that schools responded to this by raising the cost of tuition.
The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some good cause is to promise people they will have a chance of maltreating someone. To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behavior ‘righteous indignation’ — this is the height of psychological luxury, the most delicious of moral treats.” ~ Aldous Huxley
Something I rarely see mentioned in these discussions is the impact of COVID vaccines and lockdowns/restrictions.
When COVID hit, many students decided to defer a year, waiting either for vaccine requirements to go away, or for restrictions to lift. When these dragged on and lasted longer than one year, a significant number of these students ended up never going to college. I suspect this is why there's a significant drop in enrollment for recent years.
I have mixed feelings about this article. The central point about regulation and consolidation is true:
By ensuring the operation of a business requires a level of compliance costs and complicated bureaucracy that only massive corporations can afford or manage, all chances of real competition to those corporations are eliminated.
But the repetitive blaming of "the right" and "conservatives" by the author is both inaccurate and bizarre. The author either doesn't fully understand how we ended up where we are, or is more eager to blame a political party than they are to call out the true root cause. For example, this statement:
In many ways the market forces the right has lauded as a blanket solution to all social ills have been the very thing working to destroy the middle-class
The free market has done nothing to destroy the middle class. As mentioned in the previously quoted section, it's government regulation and barriers to entry that have changed the economic landscape. This is the opposite of a free market.
The author pushes this misrepresentation even further, with lines like this:
Many conservatives justify this by pointing to the fact that these corporations are able to provide lower prices and therefore a better standard of living for everyone.
This isn't at all a "conservative" talking point. Again, instead of acknowledging the root cause, the author would rather push the issue off onto politics. By blaming conservatives and the free market, the author simultaneously makes this into a partisan discussion and detracts from the value of an economic system free of government influence.
At least the conclusion makes it clearer that the author was trying to convey that Republicans need to break up the cozy relationship between government and big corporations. If that's the message, there needs to be more emphasis on (and understanding of) the value of a free market. A free market is where deregulation will take you, and putting a thumb on the scale in favor of either big business or mom and pop stores necessarily means having more government involvement. Switching which side is favored by regulations and barriers means competition and market forces are still stifled in the end.
This is the best answer. I use Emby, and the client app runs fine on my Samsung TV; no player device required.
It's hard to tell from this screenshot, but is the "partly false" photo a screenshot of whitehouse.gov with a few highlights? Because that's what it looks like.
and eliminating the constitutional right to an abortion
They're going to keep repeating this until it's true, aren't they?
Medical, and rape exceptions will probably be made.
These already exist under the current "bans" the media is reporting. We're honestly beyond the point of misrepresentation; discussion around abortion has devolved to outright lies.
For example, claims that an abortion law in Alabama will outright ban abortions have been circulating on social media. They frequently include a screenshot of the first page of the bill, along with claims that severe medical risks such as ectopic pregnancies cannot be addressed by doctors under the law. The bill is a mere 5 pages, and if you take a moment to read it, you'll see it specifically makes allowances for medical exceptions. It even mentions ectopic pregnancies by name.
Another enormous lie is the claim that abortion "bans" are criminalizing mothers that seek an abortion. Each state law currently in place does no such thing. The only criminal act is providing an abortion, not seeking or getting one.
This level of propaganda isn't new, but we're firmly "post-truth" now. I still can't wrap my head around the fact that everyone is claiming a screenshot says the opposite of what its text actually says, with the media and politicians all nodding along and agreeing.
It's a reflection of the user base and the site, everything there is hard left.
Local subs, even for areas that are heavily conservative, are always flagrantly left-wing. It's not uncommon to see partisan posts, extreme bias, even and outright attacks on local conservative politicians or people when in a local sub.
There's really no fixing it, so just try to not let them get to you and don't bother posting there in the future. The very design of Reddit makes it easy for extreme views to suppress all other discussion, even when they're obviously wrong about something. And unlike ideological discussions elsewhere on Reddit, people on local subs seem to take their personal attacks much more seriously, because you're the "bad" person with the "wrong" opinions in their own backyard.
The situation is even worse than recent articles suggest; the airline industry is facing a perfect storm of serious issues.
There are actually fewer flights today than there were pre-COVID, even though overall demand is higher. More people chasing fewer seats has driven prices through the roof, with some economy tickets now costing more than first-class tickets from 2019.
Recent bookings, and especially international bookings, have accelerated dramatically. Despite contrary claims from the current administration, it turns out there really was a massive number of people waiting for the COVID test rule to go away before booking their vacations. And many of them want to take their international vacation before the end of the year.
Staffing shortages have hit every portion of the industry. Although pilots are the obvious mention (particularly due to vaccine rules and lost hours in 2020), ground crew members are also in short supply. Some airlines have had to get innovative with their hiring practices, such as creating new apprentice programs to train mechanics. Many physical airline jobs skew towards older generations and face losing waves of employees to retirement over the next decade.
Lastly, fuel prices have added another increase to already skyrocketing prices. Flights today are 50% more expensive than they were a mere 6 months ago, and ticket prices continue to climb. With demand for oil still increasing from the long-awaited return to normalcy, it's likely the cost of fuel will continue to drive increases in transportation expenses under current policy.
It's too bad Jellyfin and Emby are such broken and roughshod competitors. They're also unusable, mainly because they're barebones skeletons with only the most basic functions and don't even run well
Have you actually tried them, especially recently? I run my server with Emby, and have had absolutely no problems at all. Not only does everything work reliably and as expected, I've also been able to share my server with multiple family members that are barely able to use a smart TV. I tell them to install the app and what to type for the server information, and then it's like using any other streaming service for them from there.
I'm curious what features you think Emby is lacking that are necessary, or what aspects of it haven't run well for you. I know Plex has additional features that are unrelated to serving video media (like the game streaming add-on), but I wasn't under the impression it has much in the way of media features that Emby lacks.
HDR works perfectly in Emby, even tone mapping when transcoding (it was added in a recent-ish update). You'll want a server that can hardware transcode if you're not direct playing 4k HDR though.
At least it's 95 or 97 octane I suppose
RON vs AKI octane ratings. Octane numbers appear higher in the UK than they are in the US because of the different rating methods, but the gas itself is the same.
If you mean the bang notation, they work the same way in Brave search. For example, !g will take you to Google in both search engines.
