I don't have a crazy tax situation, just some freelancing, so I usually used freefillableforms.com because I didn't want to pay for TurboTax. For some reason it errored out when submitting this year and would not let me re-submit

Been a while since I've done anything related to audio engineering so my terminology might not be correct, but I've always heard this described as presence. Stems from old guitar amps that had presence knobs that would dump highs

I've been working remote for ~7 years. The way I would handle this is simply saying something like "You available? Wanted to get a few minutes to discuss X/Y/Z" When you're attempting to set up synchronous comm

We borrowed a 2020 4Runner to haul a camper on a 300 mile drive, and the radar-enabled cruise control was really nice on that trip both ways. Seemed like it did a good job of breaking early enough to keep it only providing mild input, but i

Only somewhat related: I was provided a Latitude 5520 from my work, as they wanted everything to be done on company-owned hardware. I've had it nearly two years now, and it _still_ has two major issues. The first is it cannot hibernate

I believe that 'excess burden' is essentially how many more people than expected would show these outcomes. IE, if normally you'd expect to see 5/1000 people in a control group experience a stroke, but observe stokes in

I haven't seen anything comparing the two yet, but I would be interested in seeing that. I'll note that in general, I have seen studies indicating that the risk of both MIS-C (linked in GP) and long-covid[1][2] are decreased when

I'm saying this as someone who lost a family member to a combination of myocarditis and endocarditis resulting from a flu infection: I'm not attempting to downplay it. Myocarditis has the potential to be extremely serious, especia

I can't find much besides models for < 16 unfortunately. However, for 16-40, Patone, et al[1] estimates that myocarditis incidence is around 2/mil for AstraZeneca, 1/mil for Pfizer per does, and 6/mil for Moderna firs

That's great that your power has been mostly reliable, but it is not the case for a lot of the people here. In my family alone, my brother and his wife lost power at the apartment they had then for 3 days during the ~2014 winter storm,

This is the case at least in some parts of the US as well. I believe in all of Texas (North Texas here), your costs are broken down by energy costs and delivery costs, the latter of which is paid to your TDU to maintain the infrastructure.

I keep seeing the same general sentiment through these types of threads, something in the nature of "if the scientists are so sure they're right, they shouldn't be afraid of mis-information because only their data will stand

This is an insightful comment that holds true a good portion of the time. However, there is one takeaway that is overlooked in my experience: resolving tech debt that exists due to lack of experience tends to build said experience, _provide

Polio only resulted in paralysis in ~0.5% of cases. The CFR for paralytic polio for children was around 2-5%, or 5-10% for all age groups. That would put the CFR for all polio cases at around 0.0175% for children, and 0.0375% overall. Best

A short term, high dose prednisone treatment restored enough kidney function for my sister that she is no longer looking at a transplant or dialysis. Bi-weekly, 5mg doses of prednisone to treat chronic pancreatitis have extended the life of

Functional considerations aside, there's definitely some personal issues with ligatures. Spacing in code is incredibly important for a lot of people. I'm dyslexic, so distinguishing between something like someValue=someOtherValue(

I feel this would be more interesting if you could hide the font names until you were done.

IMO, the selling point isn't that you can carry around the ports you might potentially use and swap them out whenever you need them, it's that you can buy a machine that's tailored to your setup and peripherals. I bought a la

While the animated breakdown itself is phenomenal and certainly makes the video, one of the other key aspects is the progressive explanation of _why_ this mechanism is designed the way it is. You can watch the video without sound, and proba

HPV is a 3-dose vaccination in most cases. I believe Hep A and Hep B vaccines also have 3-dose versions, but I'm not sure if the 2 or 3 dose schedule is standard.

My only issue with a paper-only drop box is there's no redundancy. I would think with having poll watchers from multiple affiliations and multiple shifts per day to ensure you have many eyes on the box it wouldn't be a concern. Bu

W/R/T your second point, one of the things I touched on was whether or not those with natural immunity are more likely to experience repeated exposure after acquiring immunity. For instance, is a healthcare worker more likely to e

To be fair, even modern arch style bridges have the same concerns. For example, overhead arch bridges get around it by using ties between the ends running underneath the actual bridge itself to prevent the ends from separating. The Hernando

I've found two major benefits with yarn. First is package install time, like others have said it's an order of magnitude faster for projects I've worked on. Second is a little more niche in running a Linux image on Windows ho
