A stage cut off too early and it failed to leave orbit. It has been derelict since 1972. It was junk.

He posts on Twitter, they say it's not a valid firing, and then he send his thugs to physically remove them from the building.

You make them afraid.

Generally, most people we're talking about here don't have dietary nutritional deficiencies. You'd have to specifically eat an unbalanced diet, like chicken nuggets for every meal, for that to happen.

I would bet that anyone prescribed ozempic has also talked with their doctor about their diet before starting.

It's literally called copyright because it's about the rights to copy something. The new law would still be a form of copyright.

Downloading is still infringement. Distribution is worse, but I don't think it's a criminal matter, still just civil.

Anything outside the US. It's only a US law.

The core isn't much better.

Agreed. I don't know why people post so many random projects' minor update releases with no context.

There is minimal air exchange between the indoors and outdoors when all the windows and doors are closed. There is still some, because obviously you can stay in a building even without HVAC for a long time. But it's slow enough that something as reactive as chlorine gas will react with other materials before it reaches you.

Harvard Medical School canceled a planned Jan. 21 lecture on wartime healthcare and a subsequent panel with patients from Gaza receiving care in Boston in response to objections that students would hear from Gazans impacted by the war and not also Israelis.

Course instructors and students were notified Tuesday morning that the events — scheduled for that evening — would not be held.


Students had organized the moderated discussion with patients and their families as a follow-up to Levy’s lecture, which was not focused specifically on Gaza.


Jones said that Arabic-speaking Medical School students who had served as interpreters for patients from Gaza in Boston asked course staff to arrange the session with Levy and patients’ families.

“Students often find that the presence of a patient who is interviewed and discusses their experiences is often far more engaging, powerful, and moving than hearing a professor carry on about the pathophysiology of disease,” Jones said.

The optional session was part of the course’s original spring semester curriculum and was approved by HMS administrators, according to Jones.

 

As if we didn't already know. I didn't know being against businesses using slave labor counted as bigotry, though.

If you tap that link in Boost it'll probably crash, so don't do it unless you're okay with that.

I'm guessing the problem is that the post URL is a magnet link.

Edit: oh yeah, to work around, you'll have to open it in a browser and hide it.

 

I got banned earlier today with the message "rule 1", no other information about why, or which comment broke the rule. As far as I can tell it was this one, which just says "We want the bot gone. That’s it. It’s really that simple."

So I checked the modlog for other bans, and @[email protected] was banned today as well, also just for "rule 1", probably either for the comment saying "a stupid bot writing useless bullshit" or "This is what you call "Not listening to criticism."", neither of which are an attack on any person.

(Also earlier today @[email protected] was banned with the message "fuck off", which I'm pretty sure is not a reason to ban someone from a major community, but doesn't appear to be related to the MBFC bot.)

One more today, @[email protected] was banned, again just "rule 1", last comment being this one, again not an attack on any person.

So what's the deal here? I couldn't find any rules for mods on lemmy.world with a brief poke around, but are we letting mods run major communities like little fiefdoms, banning people for criticism?
