+100! I view it as "holding the door open behind me for others", much like people held the door for me.

Alarmed by mpox surge, Africa CDC is poised to declare a 'continental emergency'
The Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has never done anything like this before. The agency is poised to declare a “public health emergency of continental security” as early as next week.
Since the beginning of last year, mpox cases have been surging in the Democratic Republic of Congo, with children making up the majority of the 14,000 reported cases and 511 deaths so far in 2024. Those numbers roughly match the number of cases reported in all of last year in the country.

If you are job searching, it's dangerous to go it alone.

CEO is trolling working class. It’s total cost of benefits added to TC. So while from an economist POV this is the total cost of one employee, it’s not the TC (total comp) that Tech often uses, largely because it’s hard to know the added costs that the company pays per person

Open up two docs in preview. Let's say Doc A is the one you want to merge into. Open Thumbnail view in each doc. Select pages in Doc B you want to merge over to Doc A (some or all). Drag and drop into thumbnails view in Doc A. Reorder as desired. Profit.
Copy + paste also works.

IANAL, but you will need to get opt-in permission from EU users to transfer their data outside of the EU unless you can apply standard contractual clauses (SCCs) or get an EU representative.

As a long time SE v1 user, I’m really happy with my iPhone 13 Mini. Yes slightly bigger, but I love it for all the same reasons I loved my SE

Cue "Three Body Problem" trilogy references

As with (nearly) all things, there's a robust subreddit and a niche industry focused on "prep" (preparation for disaster situations). Many refer to themselves as "preppers".
https://www.reddit.com/r/preppers
Some are ready for a "HTF" (hit the fan), society-collapse events. Others, like myself, focus on the higher probability but less attention grabbing situations like multi-day power outages, supply chain disruptions, and low-cost-high-ROI investments (like buying two sets of N95 masks for the family in 2018 in the unlikely event of a pandemic).
There's lot of view points within the community as to what is best, but generally the agreement is to determine what your personal level of risk tolerance is, and invest + prep accordingly.
