  • In the US it’s not so much about lyme disease being denied as it is about chronic lyme disease being denied. People who catch the disease sometimes experience long term symptoms that don’t go away after the initial treatment which can be debilitating.

    That said the “denial” doesn’t come from the medical establishment (our CDC has a page talking about it that’s pretty informative), it comes from insurers who refuse to cover long term treatments and doctors who aren’t up to date.






  • Physical stuff. Electrician, plumber, HVAC. I do IT and networking primarily on the physical side which is an option. I wouldn’t suggest buying fully into the “trades make lots of money” propaganda but once you’re established you’ll be comfortable and they’re all jobs that can’t be automated or offshored.

    Be realistic about the pay drop though if you decide to go this route. I would kill to be a slop dev because it would pay like twice what I’m getting right now, but I’m still pretty junior in my field.






  • Sometimes steam tinker launch works, sometimes it doesn’t.

    Sometimes bottles works, sometimes it doesn’t.

    Sometimes lutris works, sometimes it doesn’t.

    Sometimes extracting the mods directly into the game folder works, sometimes it doesn’t.

    Sometimes a game has a bespoke github project with a script that you can run, and sometimes that script hasn’t been updated in years but it still works, and sometimes it doesn’t.
