Depends on the program. Diploma mills for graduate degrees absolutely exist but many are extremely competitive.

You can also use komf alongside komga/kavita to just scrape metadata automatically upon import. A bit finnicky to get going (a tampermonkey script is required to give it accessible setting on the komga page) but works very well and even has a gui for identifying results and selecting the correct option if the auto scrape fails similar to jellyfin

For the actual reader part I just use komga as a server and read through Mihon (one of the tachiyomi forks) on my ereader mostly. occasionally I’ll use paperback on my iphone (although recently I’ve been trying Tachimanga, which is basically an iOS tachiyomi fork). Loads library, can sort by tag/library/date added, reads most things very well, can sync read status with the komga server (and/or manga updates or whatever), etc.

The important takeaway from this is that “supplements” have 0 oversight. The CBD, probiotics, vitamin d, etc that you buy could just be capsules of vegetable oil that does nothing at all. Or they could be asbestos and cyanide for all you know (that probably would lead to an investigation though). There’s also no safety regarding packing and handling, so it might literally be a guy with unwashed hands who just picked his butt loading your gelcaps in a dirty bathroom that someone just took a massive shit in. No one checks and verifies any of this and that’s why shills and hucksters jump onto this shit, it’s a completely unregulated market where can cut corners everywhere and say whatever you want as long as you include *not intended to treat any diseases and not evaluated by the fda

A $1200 thing you buy on instagram that sends “good waves” to your brain? Supplement. The cbd you buy at the gas station? Supplement. Doterra oils? Supplement. No regulation, no oversight, just robbing people based on their desperation to fix chronic pain and mental illness

More like sponsored ”Product” for the first 8 results

I read it wrong at first and thought it was an actual irl theme park based on mars attacks, which would be a strange ip to choose for such an endeavor but I would still welcome it

Watch it happen and complain after the fact based on historical precedent. Perhaps they will later appeal to the judicial system that will not care because trump spent his term fairly efficiently jamming it full of shit. Then instead of escalating the issue they will just let it go, because “decorum”

but my (not really my) conspiracy theory for this is the opposite of open source: when someone is good at cracking games companies like denuvo track them down and offer them jobs to harden their product and take another cracker out of the scene. like I bet denuvo is just filled with nerds that spent their teenage years in sketchy irc rooms with handles like -DooMSlAyEr- and used to actually be members of razor1911 before they realized they could get game companies to pay them 200k a year

She is kind of a shithead tbf and fwiw it’s more like she’s the only person who is willing to do it. granted cracking denuvo is something that is extremely difficult and only a small subset of people can do but it’s not like she’s literally the only person on the planet who can. There was that guy who would just release the yearly update of football manager, for one.

It’s far more likely the people who have that skill set just don’t really want to bother with cracking videogames and the potential legal issues that come with distributing them online.

Technically this is necessarily true, for any licensed psychiatrist or psychologist in the USA at least practicing under the scope of the APA ethical framework

The interesting piece is why

In 1964 when Barry Goldwater was running for president a piece was run on him that polled a number of psychiatrists regarding whether he was fit to be president. He was compared to dictators by many of the respondents and described with very unflattering language. He successfully sued the magazine that ran the article, Fact, for the modern equivalent of about $630,000.

In response the APA created the guideline (section 7) which states the need to contribute to improvement of community and betterment of public health. Specifically section 7.3 considers commentary on public figures:

On occasion psychiatrists are asked for an opinion about an individual who is in the light of public attention or who has disclosed information about himself/herself through public media. In such circumstances, a psychiatrist may share with the public his or her expertise about psychiatric issues in general. However, it is unethical for a psychiatrist to offer a professional opinion unless he or she has conducted an examination and has been granted proper authorization for such a statement.

Thus, commentary by psychologists and psychiatrists on political candidates and such is generally not okay. Debate on this specific issue was widely renewed over the past 8 years, for obvious reasons

The interesting part is the debate is changed, quite a bit, in the modern era. In goldwaters day there was a more valid argument that his public persona and personal self were very distinct. But now you have trump, who lived on twitter for years and shit out every thought he had relatively unfiltered. Is that the same? Not at all, but at the same time from a clinical perspective it’s still a public persona trump puts forward and not necessarily indicative of who the man actually is

but the other side of the debate is the freedom of speech issue. this becomes interesting in the trump era because new issues become relevant. In the goldwater era the issues were primarily about if the guy was a fucking monster, basically. But now we also have concerns about cognitive capacity. Barry goldwater was 55 when he that article came out. Trump is 78. There are cognitive decline issues that can be observed from video that while not definitive are at least huge red flags for further screening and warning that this man shouldn’t be put in charge of the United States for the next four fucking years as he continues to decline, because unfortunately age and time do not reverse.

Essentially one can argue it is my opinion that trump is a sociopathic narcissist, for example, because I have not met him and cannot actually say for certain that these views are truly his or if this is just pomp that he is using to curry political favor. As such I should not use my licensure and standing to harm his because I cannot be sure that it’s not just an act. But on the other hand I can be pretty sure that I am seeing an increase in repetition in phrases, decreased vocabulary, flight of ideas, tangential speech, and most worrying is a few instances of word salad. I cannot publicly comment on this, ethically.

Biden had similar issues to be fair but he stepped down, thankfully. Biden is also harder to evaluate because he had a known history of speech issues.

The Goldwater rule is not inherently bad though. It’s actually a good rule. It’s a good reminder that we don’t know the person behind the tv. But on the other hand one could argue evaluating the presented persona is still somewhat valid. If John q president comes in to run in 2028 and puts forth a persona of being a total jackass Warhawk narcissist but it turns out they’re a total soft hearted lovable guy in their personal life, does that matter if they run shit like a total jackass Warhawk narcissist? Does it even stop being true if they actually act that way? Etc.

That’s the recipe, eat 1.5 cups of ap flour

Flac 44.1 16bit level 3. Host with something that meets your needs. I have my files in jellyfin and navidrome and can then access the library remotely either through jellyfin web client, navidrome web client, substreamer, Finamp, kodi, etc. but this way if another amazing format comes up down the line I will always have my library in a good state to transcode from. Tag and sort everything with beets.io (or musicbrainz picard is great, I just like that beets is cli). This results in a library I can access on my phone, laptop, tv, carplay, etc

Technically you could go for 24bit but imo the extra file size isn’t justified. though one could make that argument for flac vs 320cbr mp3, transcoding 320 mp3 is more likely to create artifacts, thus the reason for keeping around flac

Alac may be easier for you if you use mac

If she has a lube dispenser by her bed of any kind you’re in for a pretty fun time I would think

You mean you don’t want communities infested with bots promoting thinly veiled advertisements and reposting crusty old content to farm upvotes to make their accounts look more legitimate?

As well as utility cost to run the stove, lighting, pos systems, etc. plus rent/mortgage/taxes on the building, upkeep of fixtures like tables, menus, and cutlery, insurance costs, inspection costs, non sales staff (think like general managers, janitorial staff, plus HR and IT if they have it), any planned building upgrades down the line (whether to the actual building eg renovating dining areas or upgrading kitchen appliances), theft/shrinkage, damage from customers and staff being assholes, from equipment breaking down, from natural disasters, etc

Probably a lot more too. There’s a whole bunch to factor in
