YET ANOTHER #CAQASTROPHE

Transport Minister Geneviève Guilbault told reporters the ministry had been misled by those in charge of #SAAQ and that she didn't know the situation was so dire...

LIES!!!

But, now she's going to launch an internal investigation into #SAAQclic... so, shut up, OK? cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/qu… #polQC #assnat #QCpoli #CAQFAIL #CAQBS

#OnThisDay, 24 Feb 1968, Jocelyn Bell Burnell - along with her male supervisor and three other men - published a paper confirming the discovery of pulsars. She had built the array, picked up the signal and argued it was not an anomaly. Hewish received the Nobel prize for it in 1974: Bell Burnell did not.

In 2018 Bell Burnell received a £3m prize for her work. She's used it to set up a foundation to improve the diversity in STEM.

My sme drahý ako sviňa ale 5,90 za koláč v centre ako sa spomína v texte je dobrá cena... ja sa starám?

A teda spat k aktualnej situacii: Po dvoch rokoch dost velkej inflacie tu mame dalsi rok s mensim, ale stalnym rastom cien. Jasne, je to citit, musi. Ako ekonomicky ukazovatel je to pre mnohych nepochopitelne, abstraktne, mozno aj zbytocne cislo, ale presne o tom je: rast nakladov.

Nieco je mimo nasej kontroly (napr. ruzzka invazia), ine je naopak v nasej rezii (typicky ficova verzia "socialnej demokracie" a.k.a. rozklad statu).

Nacim tuhsie porozmyslat a viac robit.

in reply to Peter Hanecak

@phanecak uznávám že sme drahý (my ako Medusa, 2dc prosecca 12€) ale keď na niečo nemám tak buď sa nesťažujem alebo keď to chcem robím preto všetko aby som to mal.

Ja rozumiem tomu že v normálnej spoločnosti by asi nemal byť problém ísť sa najesť do centra ale my sme na Slovensku a nie sme tu prvý deň, tým chcem povedať že sa dá najesť aj inde ako v centre mesta.

Ceny idú hore a reštaurácie majú XY položiek ktoré zdraželi čiže sa komplexne premietne do cien. Nie je to dobré ale príčinu by som hľadal inde.

Precital som a je to myslim prekna ukazka toho, ze:

- ano, je tam pravda
- ale nie, nepodali ju dobre

Ja si pravdu predstavujem uplne v pohode ako nudnu tabulku ci graf a vcelku dobre rozumiem, ze 23% za donasku nie je sice to iste ako 23% za cele jedlo, ale ze aj tak zaboli.

Ale ked chceme vybicovat emocie resp. "click bait", tak samozrejme pomiesame hrusky s jablkami a do vety o "beznom menu" zaroven dame "kolacik za 5,9" a nespomenieme, ze "kolacik v nie beznej vyvarovni".

in reply to SuspiciousDuck

Ano, takxnejak.

A zaujimave, lebo musim skonstatovat, ze:

- #fico je "viac mimo" nez danko

lebo:

- #danko ma (uleteny, ale) konzistentnejsi postoj

odbocim este viac: Asi vidime dosledok toho, ze fico nedodrzal svoj volakedajsi slub (odchod z politiky do 2014) a teraz je vekom a kondickou uz dochodca. Co danko este nie. A fico je na bezneho dochodcu sice este v dobrom stave, ale na poziciu premiera v krusnych casoch uz asi zial¹ nestaci.

I found this slide from today's @nextcloud Hub 10 presentation interesting, and I can totally confirm it.
It always comes to mind when I see people marvelling at the progress of a new project, and viewing older projects as slow-moving.

At some point, all projects end up like this: the vast majority of the work is maintenance, and only a small fraction is new development.

If you think mask bans are “no big deal” because there’s medical exemptions, please consider the following:

😷 Police are not doctors
😷 Many disabilities are invisible
😷 Disabled people don’t live in a bubble. I need my friends and caregivers to mask to protect me
😷 Everyone should have the right to protect their health, you shouldn’t have to already be sick to be permitted to mask
😷 Criminalizing masks sends a message that maskers are “bad”. It emboldens anti-maskers and increases odds of aggression

The reality is that mask bans are discriminatory, ableist and eugenicist. They push disabled people out of public spaces. They put marginalized and POC at increased risk of police profiling.

There’s no official policy for a medical exemption either, it’s at police discretion.

If you’re stopped and questioned, you will have to prove you’re masking for the “right reasons”

I’m more than willing to admit that if I were stopped by a cop for masking, I would appear nervous, shaky, tachycardic and probably “suspicious”.

Not because I’m doing anything wrong, but because my illnesses do not respond well to stress and the police are stressful.

It’s not right to put the onus on the masker to defend their right to mask. We’re still in a global pandemic. Texas has a measles outbreak. There’s tuberculosis in Kansas. Bird flu is spreading and it’s the worst year for influenza A in over a decade.

Masks are a public health tool. They’re a disability accommodation. They should NOT be criminalized.

For more on mask bans and medical exemptions, I wrote an article on the Nassau County ban here:

Benutzt hier wer die app MyGrades – apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/a… – und kann sagen, ob die überhaupt noch funktioniert? Seit 2018 nicht mehr gepflegt steht zu befürchten, dass das "Scraping" der Webseiten der entsprechenden Hochschulen nicht mehr funktioniert (und die App daher aus dem #IzzyOnDroid Repo entfernt werden sollte: wir wollen ja nix "kaputtes" in Umlauf bringen 😉)

Zielgruppe: Studenten an deutschen Hochschulen.

#HelpNeeded (können wir nicht selbst testen)

in reply to lichenscon

@lichenscon Heh! OK, *DAS* hätte ich ja direkt selbst testen können. Wenn schon das Abrufen der Liste unterstützter Hochschulen nicht klappt, brauche ich auch keinen Account bei einer Hochschule um zu schauen, ob der Rest geht 🙈

Ganz lieben Dank! Dann hau ich die App mal auch raus (done, effective with the next sync)). Kaputtes Zeug braucht Ihr sicher nicht im Repo 😜
