m not a doctor but my understanding of high blood pressure as a chronic illness is that it’s a long term game. High pressure on your arteries and heart over many years increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. It’s less relevant as a short term problem.
This isn't always the case. Some cases of hypertension that are not lifestyle related can reach life threatening levels (as in, embolism or burst blood vessel or heart failure) if not treated regularly.
It won't remain targeting just non-whites for very long.
Marshals are an arm of the DoJ. They are compromised and not useful anymore.
Very bold of them to assume that corporations won't immediately use force to bust these unions and make any participants homeless and unrentable as an example.
Be careful when describing Lemmy as a "privacy valuing" service.
Your personal identity privacy is improved, yes, as there are no corporations to actively sell this data... but your identity (the email and info you signed up with) is at the whims of the admins of whatever instance you signed up for, and hoping their opsec is good.
The privacy of your content does not exist at all. Anything you post including direct messages is blasted out across the entire fediverse to ALL federated servers, where you have NO control who is downloading and storing it.
You should treat Lemmy like it is a early 2000s forum site, where you should feel comfortable saying what you like, but never use anything personally identifying anywhere on your profile (including a personal email during sign up), never share anything personal in DM's, and consider a proxy/VPN to further obscure your ID from instance admins.
Cool, call up the army to start enforcing shit or piss the fuck off
Title had me in the first half not gonna lie
You can't hardly even buy computer monitors without them anymore either. Every one of the higher end Samsung or LG monitors is starting to include "smart" bullshit.
And guess who canada used to sell oil to? The US... Who typically has a thirst for Canada's nice heavy crude oils to help balance out the light, sweet crude made by most American oil fields.
Sourcing heavy crude from other suppliers who have to bring it in via tanker, because Chinese buyers can outbid the tarriffed American buyers... Tankers are significantly more expensive than local pipelines, is going to drive the cost of middle distillates up a bunch on top of the tarriffs.
*are already here
Vulcans befriending humans immediately has the same energy as when the crazy crackhead couple moves in next door and you're really kind of concerned for them, but make an effort to be nice and socialize with them anyway just so they don't see you as a threat
Can you hear or feel the drive spinning with the power and USB plugged in?
Do you have a second computer (Linux or windows) to also try it in?
A brief search seems to indicate this drive is a minimum of 15 years old, which is an incredible age for a portable mechanical drive. I would honestly be preparing yourself to be dealing with this drove finally being cooked beyond repair. Sure hope you kept backups of what was on it!
