I would rotate the text 90 degrees so that it has the full length of the top tab, that should give you more room to work, and most humans can read rotated text.
Another suggestion would be to try a different font that works with the printing limitations: something curved like Exo 2 might be a little less of a fight.
Covid-19 causes permanent damage, and immune dysregulation in every person who is infected, each time they are infected, so it's no surprise other viruses are now having larger impacts.
Nope, measles is up to six times more contagious (UNICEF measures it as only two times more infectious). It doesn't help that the world in general has gotten really lax about how dangerous Covid is, particularly with the latest variants, so our baseline is off.

I agree with you about feeling no pity for the tech bros. However, a big appeal of AI for them is elimination of employees. And that's going to hurt more regular folks who did not sign up for AI on a much more noticeable level. I dont think any nation is set up to handle the level of unemployment that's on the horzon. So ignoring the environmental impacts of LLM/AI servers; let's get national food, shelter, and healthcare systems in place, and then I'd be all for letting the venture capitalists shove their dicks in blenders.
Agreed; it's not worth the rhetoric and actions. And while there's definitely merit in assessing trans athletes to try and keep things as fair as possible (though they never stopped Phelps from competing, so "fair" is kind of a joke), it's far more complex than a simple "there was testosterone so they have an advantage!"
For the "nonathletic" groups - think community-level sport - based on what data is available, there is effectively no statistical difference between cis and trans women's physical performance after 2+ years on hormone therapy.
When it comes to elite athletes, trans women outperformed cis women in Fat-free mass index, Absolute hand grip strength, and Absolute Vo2Max, but under-performed in Relative VO2Max to mass, Ratio of expiratory volume to vital lung capacity, and Absolute countermovement jump (lower body power). The lower Relative VO2Max, and Expiratory volume can lead to disadvantages in terms of speed, recovery and endurance.
While hand grip strength is considered an indicator of overall muscle strength, to quote the first article linked:
The correlations between hand grip strength and individual sports are reviewed comprehensively in Cronin et al. Though maximum hand grip strength has a strong relationship with maximum upper or body strength in some movement patterns such as in powerlifting strength, there are weaker relationships with other movement patterns. There is evidence that hand grip strength is a poor correlate of knee flexion or extension strength and is far more reliable as a marker of physical function if used together with lower limb strength. Hand grip strength is more relevant for some physical performance activities such as rotational movements that transfer force and torque to the hand (ie, ball throwing), but shows poor correlation to movement patterns that require technical ability, physical capacity, aerobic fitness or tactical ability (ie, tennis stroke placement or cricket fielding performance)
It will require a lot more information before any athletics group would be able to make a truly informed decision, and it's going to have to be sport by sport. Elite athletes are all outliers in their genetic makeup (Phelps, The average height of a WNBA player, etc). We know athletes have different hormone levels depending on the sport they play, but it's chicken vs. egg on whether the hormones or elite performance came first. So trying to decide what is an acceptable advantage re: "pro athlete genetics", vs. an unacceptable advantage re: "transgender genetics" is little more than opinions and politics at this point.

Around my area, "contactless payment" became further normalised during the initial Covid lockdown (of all the changes to keep, we went with that one 🙄). Many of the smaller businesses seem to prefer it. I suspect it reduces error and effort - fewer errors during the transactions and direct data-to-data conversion in the accounting. I wouldn't be surprised if it saves them money on insurance, too, as there's no reason to rob a bunch of debit receipts.
I'm sure you -could- insist on paying with cash, but unless you're have exact change, it's not going to be a smooth, unremarkable exchange. And that also defeats the anonymity factor of privacy: they're definitely going to remember the "weirdo" who insisted on paying cash, who argued about your sign being illegal, and then the PITA it was to find them change.
Don't get me wrong, I make an effort to dominantly use cash. And I also recognise there are some places I either have to accept I can't use cash (my pharmacy, which talks to my insurance, so moot point anyway), or have to find an alternative that does take cash (my favorite ramen place, RIP).
Missed the sarcasm, I see.
Guess you'll never know. If only you could check user post history to see.
OK, sure. Is part of this governmental treatment path going to address the systemic drivers behind a large portion of substance abuse? Things like poverty, inaccessible mental health supports, insufficient resources to remove oneself from abuse, the BS support for disabilities and chronic pain, lack of support in finding incarcerated/people with records meaningful employment, etc.etc?
If not, it's just going to be a waste of money that doesn't help anyone.
I'll check them out, thank you!
I'm sure this plays some role. I'm also certain that the countries those same corporations offshore their labour to countries who do the same thing, and no one cares.
I also don't think we can ignore that real estate is a big money maker for people with wealth, and WFH impacted their bottom line.
Or that many of the CEOs, boards, people at the top have a certain predisposition for wanting power and control, which is harder to flex if people might be able to also do laundry while working or, gasp, take a longer lunch and -still- get their work done.
Anyway, I'm sure it influences the decision, but I don't think it's the top driver.
A hyphen or dot couldn't serve the same function as a carriage return here? (Not being a dick; genuine question)
