I understand the whole “it has to get worse before it gets better” angle when some railway sections have to be closed for a complete overhaul, but I feel like there’s an infrastructure equivalent to refeeding syndrome.
When your body has to make do with little-to-no food, it restructures its metabolism
to deal with that. When you suddenly increase your food intake again, it can’t deal with that and you die. Instead, food intake must be slowly ramped up.
When an infrastructure provider has little money for repairs, they tend to take their most urgent “cannot be postponed” repairs, rank them, and do the absolutely most urgent “cannot be postponed” ones first. When they suddenly receive more money, there is a tendency to abandon this ranking system because all of these repairs are urgent “cannot be postponed” repairs and they no longer need to be ranked… which leads to collapse because of course the primary, the backup and the other backup route are being repaired at the same time, all three are in need of urgent “cannot be postponed” repairs!
I think the management structures of infrastructure providers should take this into account when a budget increase comes their way.
While society seems to be moving toward a general consensus that voluntary euthanasia for people suffering from physiological diseases is morally acceptable if the disease cannot be healed and significantly reduces their quality of life, the same approach to people with mental disorders is still under very active discussion.
Currently, countries most likely to honor a request for euthanasia by a person suffering from a mental disorder will only do so if the person can prove that they have exhausted all other options. There was a recent case in (I think) the Netherlands, where a person had an adverse reaction to any antidepressant prescribed to them; only after trying all antidepressants that were available was euthanasia considered a justifiable treatment.
Thus, your best bet to get what you’re looking for is a 100% psychiatry speedrun – where you’ll either find a combination of pharmaceuticals that are an effective alternative to euthanasia, or at least some certainty that medicine hasn’t yet progressed far enough to help you.
I’m pleasantly surprised that there’s a country that provides gender-affirming healthcare to trans people among the countries that use the Cyrillic alphabet…
I believe S&P should only give out two ratings: Standard and Poor.
(On that note, I don’t know why people assume that the ratings of a company named Moody’s are primarily based on facts and not someone’s current emotional state.)
It wasn’t removed, it was marked as orphaned, which means anyone can take over and mess with it, lowering the bar for supply chain attacks.
If another user had said “I can take care of this long-term, gimme”, I’d had handed it over. Instead, some self-important dingbat with too many privileges decided to mass-mark all packages with an “outdated” flag beyond a certain age as orphaned, then ignored my mailing list post.
For what it’s worth, a distro package maintainer’s inability to update a package to a newer upstream version does not necessarily lead to a package being removed. Debian and Ubuntu kept shipping an ancient version of freetds sometime in the mid-2010s and the package maintainer was incommunicado.
To my knowledge, they’re there from day one, but start out very short and very soft. (I don’t think the mother can feel the difference during delivery.)
I assume you know your brother better than us Internet strangers. The most sensitive reaction depends on how he took the news, as well as his personality:
if he seems worried about the diagnosis, reassure him that you will support him
if he’s taking the diagnosis itself in stride but worried about how your family
will treat him, tell him that fundamentally nothing will change, he’s still the brother you’ve known for years and you will treat him accordingly
if he seems unbothered by both the diagnosis and its impact on the family dynamic, crack a joke to bond with him about this not being a big deal

I guess I’ll have to make do with what Ea-nāṣir has on offer…

Keep J.D. Vance away from it!
That reinterpretation probably leads to a long discussion because most cis girls come factory-equipped with estrogen.
However, Lemmy is probably 90% trans girls with a (sexual and/or romantic) preference for girls, so “trans girl” isn’t a bad first guess here.

I’d apologize to the viewers that the show has been so dull. I’d probably blame the writers, they obviously hired utter hacks.

Even though this package, to my knowledge, didn’t end up being attacked, I wonder if this was a potential precursor to the recent attack…
Isn’t that Franz Schubert’s The Trout?
