  • Scientists create universal nasal spray vaccine that protects against COVID, flu, and pneumonia

  • Maybe the spray has PCP in it so you just don't care about being shot.

  • Eagles will eat just about anything they physically can so probably lots of squirrels, rabbits, smaller possums and raccoons but also eagles will sometimes eat carrion so I could certainly imagine they sometimes get this off something like a deer carcass.

  • I'm one of those low percentage of non east asian people who have this and it is indeed nice especially since I'm allergic to most deodorants. The hard ear wax does sometimes cause me issues during allergy season though so its not all good.

  • It only looks like US currency doesn't have counterfeit protection features if you only see it in movies or in pictures there are actually a lot of little things that make it difficult to counterfeit. First is its made of a specific cotton linen blend that has a very distinct feel and if you handle cash regularly you can absolutely tell just by touch if it is printed on regular paper and there are markers you can buy that react with it to verify the material is correct. Parts of the bills are also printed in special color shifting holographic inks that would be very difficult to duplicate on a small scale. The hardest one though is there are lots of things that only show up on the bill when you hold it up to the light like a different portrait of the president on the bill in the lower right hand and a strip that is between the layers that has the denomination printed on it. There are also numerous other small things that add up to make counterfeiting quite difficult. They don't do of of these on $1 bills though since its not worth counterfeiting anyway.

    tldr; there is actually a lot of security features on US currency also I don't know why I know all of this or why I'm bother to post it to shitpost.

  • Actually not much more I think disney + ad free tier is like $16 now. Though I don't think they- charge extra for 4k so there is that.

  • This is why I have tried to drill into junior devs that it is important to take a step back for several minutes before responding to criticism. It's just too easy to fall into the trap of interpreting comments and suggestions on improvement as a personal attack.

  • Walgreens announces plan to close 1,200 stores over next 3 years

    Jump

  • Well the good news is that the Biden admin is currently trying to do something about the situation. The root cause is PBMs basically using their market power to squeeze everyone and redirect all the profit to themselves leaving nothing for the actual pharmacies. The FTC under Lina Khan has been investigating the issue for a while now and is currently starting litigation against the PBMs. It would be nice if we could get a functional congress that would pass good legislation to solve the issue instead of leaning on the limited power of regulators and unreliable and sometimes corrupt courts though.

  • I use graphene os and its great and fairly easy to install. Only works on Pixel devices though so you would have to get one of those.

  • The os and the apps that are built in are quite nice basically just look and feel like stock android. Beyond the built in stuff it is a bit more hit and miss if you want to stick to FOSS only like osmand is ok for maps but not really close to google maps. Personally I stick to only FOSS apps but you dont need to be as paranoid as me even while using graphene you can install apps from the play store including google apps. Graphene does have additional privacy protections when using google apps and you can take that a step further by having a separate profile for apps you dont trust. Really though you should read through some of the docs on the graphene website because only you can decide whether the convenience tradeoffs are worth it for your specific case.

  • To anyone reading this a 6 is a great pick but its worth knowing that the 7 year update promise only began with the pixel 8 so if you buy a 6 in 2024 it probably only has about 2 years of updates left. However they are only like $150 used I think so the value is probably there even if you only get 2 years of use out of it.

  • I'm not sure about over in Europe but around here the trick to an affordable Pixel is to just buy last years model since you can usually find them lightly used or even new in the $300 - $400 range and updates are only incremental anyway and since they get 7 years of updates now it should be good for quite a while.

    For google play protect yeah thats a bummer, I just use my banks website but I don't know if European banks allow that.

    Personally though I love Graphene OS it turned my phone from a device I hated due to anxitey I feel around corporate surveillance into a device I genuinely like again.
