    The primary reason an MRI is expensive to run is that it has this magnetic field that must be maintained. This is a cost that is irrespective of whether they are running a scan.

    So if you have an MRI for small animals and it’s not being used, you might use it for a hamster.







  • If you’ve been to Reddit since the API meltdown, it’s pretty clear that large sections of it were fucked by angry moderators, and still remain that way. I don’t think the fediverse was ready to take over, but Reddit very clearly has fewer people working for them for free.

    Specifically, there are several subreddits where they used to be strict about submissions, and now they let anything mildly related in.

    I’m honestly pretty surprised that they still haven’t recovered. At this point, I’m hoping that their mediocrity will continue to push people away until Lemmy can catch up.



  • We have the voting system that we have today, so yes, with things as they are, people do have to vote Democrat. I am not a Democrat. I’m an independent. If we had RCV or any reasonably modern system of voting in America, I’d agree with you. But we don’t have that. We live in the real world, and the real world consequences of not voting Democrat are possibly the end of our democracy.

    If you listened to the recently leaked Jenna Ellis video, you’d know for certain that this was Trump’s intent in 2020, to stay in power regardless of what the people voted for. Things are dire right here, right now. If we don’t take care of business at home, everything else falls.



  • I don’t know whether they currently sell phones abroad, but I know in the past they have sold abroad. It’s a big market.

    So it certainly affects them organizationally. Any phone that they want to sell abroad will have completely different software. They’d likely have to use an entirely different team of people.

    any interpreted language is a waste of power

    It’s not a waste of power. There are a lot of tradeoffs like ease of development and fault tolerance. And the cost of the interpreter is greatly mitigated at run time. Please just stop talking about this. It’s not as good of a point as you think it is.
