I assume this is in reference to the US (Regan’s) (lack of / adversarial) response to AIDS in the 80s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Reagan_and_AIDS
Pneumonia is fluid in the lungs, there are many causes. They were searching for the cause of the Pneumonia.
As much as I would love to complain about the healthcare systems, this looks more like some condition that he had for a month or two and didn’t appreciate the severity. Based on the fact he complained about the cost, but never brought up not being able to afford it, its unknown if he didn’t seek treatment earlier because he didn’t know that he needed to, or that he couldn’t afford it. Biopsies and specialists take time unless you are actively dying, and when he was seeking treatment, that did not seem to be the case. This is true anywhere. Unfortunately he ran out of time, pneumonia Lung issues is are no joke and there isn’t really anything you can do about it until you know whats causing it, even then, sometimes there is nothing that can be done. There is another discussion at !chat@yiffit.net
Edit: made an edit above, additional thoughts below
I will put suffocating because of coughing towards the top of the list of horrible ways to die.
Looking back through posts, I still don’t know if he didn’t seek help months ago because of cost or need. If it was cost, that sucks. I’m not a doctor, but looking into the two options presented, neither had a positive outlook. Based on posts indicating long covid and a recurrence of shingles, I will put him in the immunocompromised category. Whether cancer or fungus, prognosis on both is poor.
Is the healthcare system in the US too expensive, yes, no question. Its full of perverse profit incentives at every level and inelastic demand with near monopolistic supply. Did it make a difference here, I don’t know, but I don’t think it forms the basis for a compelling argument or complaint. If the biopsy came back and he couldn’t afford treatment, this would be different.
His life ended in an unpleasant way I would not wish on anybody. May his contributions not be forgotten.
Just never turn on the camera on those days.
I had one in person meeting with my previous group (I’m about 600 Miles away) and it was strange seeing how tall everybody is, especially because I am not.
Reddit believes in an open pay to access internet, but not the misuse of public content our content we didn’t make.
A few possibilities,
No matter the reason, well behaving crawlers will no longer crawl reddit, Everything is disallowed in the robots.txt
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
reddit recently updated their robots.txt to disallow all crawlers Google paid a bunch of money to have access to crawl reddit
You’ll still see old stuff, but crawlers that care about robots.txt will get no new information.
That reddit filter will have less than an effect than it used to. Reddit blocked all crawlers except google.
I don’t have an answer for you, I pay way too much from a local tea shop, but you might get better suggestions with answers to the following
Working from home is great. I can wear whatever I want, as much or little as I want. Take a guilt free nap. If I had a fursuit, I would probably wear most of it a good amount of the time.
On the desktop interface there is an upload image button, if you already have it uploaded somewhere the syntax is like a link but there is not content ![](https ://some image link). That can be added to a comment or the post itself.
the next dev, Hey this obscure feature probably doesn’t work, should I fix it… No, I’ll just patch “temporary-fix-don’t-use” and let the next guy fix it properly.
You might not like the prices, but computer components, cpu, gpu, motherboard… keep getting better each generation, some bugs cause issues, but that’s due to trying to maximize performance, not cheeping out. 3-d printer tech. In fact, thinking about it, a lot of competitive products keep their quality. Also small brand premium products in general.
I believe we are both correct, but you are more correct, I don’t have subscription to see the details of the entries in OED. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pedanticness
pedanticness incoming…
Just looked it up technically I think its setae, or maybe scales so “furry” but not "fur"ry.
…pedanticness ending
Oh so fluffy.
I don’t know why I noticed it first here, but its rare to see fur wet.
Water in the furry universe doesn’t make fur wet.
