How a misinterpretation of a BMJ publication from 1996 caused (and yes, I do mean caused) the explosion in rates of peanut allergy.
In a nutshell: for decades the guidance issued in the USA and UK was the opposite of what it should have been and left a generation with preventable, life-threatening allergies.

Seem like peanut allergies were once rare and now everyone has them?

People make fun of the “what happens in the booth stays in the booth” election ads, but I know poll workers who have had to keep husbands out of their wive’s voting booths because they had to “make sure she votes right”. When I was phone banking I also talked with a woman who’s husband or boyfriend was clearly around and it almost definitely changed the nature of the call. Voter intimidation by men is a real problem and I’m glad these ads address it.
That moment you order something that costs a small fortune and find yourself worrying about other blind people judging you for it. I've seen some people going where do all these blind people get their expensive devices? While I do think that's a valid question and will absolutely acknowledge that many blind people have had to have help buying those devices (which by the way who cares?) some of us blind folks actually have worked our butts off to get those devices with our own money. So those in the blind community that grouch about how people are just using other people's money to buy devices that ultimately make their lives easier, shove off.
There's a lot weighing heavily on my mind right now. I can't go into it here, I'm sorry, but if you could, your thoughts and prayers are very much appreciated.
Okay everyone, repeat after me: A, E, I, O, U. Keep repeating this again and again, let's start a real vowel movement!

Unpopular opinion from a desktop apps fan: why does anybody need a #ChatGPT desktop app if it's just, well, website wrapped in a Windows executable?
in reply to André Polykanine
Actually, I agree. However, I did install it though. Lol. I guess maybe because in the future, the app would have features that the website won't maybe? Who knows.
Microsoft makes available evaluation ISOs for different Windows editions, such as Enterprise, Enterprise LTSC, etc. I have most of these evaluation ISOs, however I am missing the one for Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSB evaluation and I was wondering if anyone has that? I just like to archive these as they make for a quick way to test something in a pinch as they were always freely available. Thanks!
