essentially the entire problem with doctoring is that two totally different professions— medicine and care— have been combined into one, and people who want to do medicine broadly resent the expectation to perform care, to disastrous results.

Exclusive: Since the war began, Russia has passed Iran the locations of U.S. military assets, including warships and aircraft.

The assistance signals that the conflict now features one of America’s chief nuclear-armed competitors. https://wapo.st/47vAwD9

Is it easier to memorize 1000 pokémon or 1000 Kanji?

I haven’t played the GBA version as much, but I don’t think it’s particularly faithful to the SNES version. Those releases had several problems that we tolerated because the games are tremendous, and having them portable was a dream so grand it led to creation of a studio to make Crystal Chronicles.

DS version is no harder than the original Japanese one fr Super Famicom. I don’t know what the PSP one is based on but you should check. It’s certainly harder on DS than DQIV (or really any DQ), but JRPG difficulty is famously easy to overcome with time investment or researching tactics.

this sucks. no patience for the people laughing at it, calling it concord 2.0, etc. if 2 million people pick up a game, and you have to shutter it and lay everyone off, it doesn't matter if the game is good or bad. it's a symptom of a much bigger and deeper problem.

Really great game that combines a Zelda-style overworld with extremely responsive twin stick shooter gameplay. Absolutely loved playing (and finishing) this on Steam Deck. Glad to see it finally on consoles.

Knowing about the twist gives everything else another layer, or multiple.

TESS confirms what we saw with Kepler and K2 - on average, ***every single small red star has a planet around it***! And a short-period one at that (<30 days).

And you know what the galaxy is mostly made of?

Small red stars.

PLANETS. PLANETS EVERYWHERE!!!

Happy weekend pondering that, everyone.

I will say this any chance I get: Itoi was part of far left student protests in the ‘60s - ‘70s where he physically clashed with police, was arrested 5 times, and ultimately dropped out of law school from his disillusionment

so he indeed knows how they work

So this is the kind of move that would normally qualify someone for asylum. This is overt persecution of a minority.

Bring back Linda Ellerbee and stop making all the pre-k aspirational career shows for doctors and cops and start making them for journalists.

As far as I can tell, no review copies went out for the Switch 2 version of Fallout 4. Given that it has taken multiple patches to get Skyrim to a playable state on Switch 2 and the obvious visual issues that could be seen in the trailer for Fallout 4 on Switch 2, I'd tread cautiously on that one.

Divide and conquer is not just a trite truism. Solidarity is the only tool to save multicultural democracy and too many groups are unfortunately now learning this the hard way.

I've just updated this Feature after trying a new tape layout. This new V Shaped tape layout is, in my opinion, far superior to the previous method.

My Switch 2 Pro Controller D-Pad is working better than ever.
