If one is of a certain age, of course they studied for step I without it

and the classic method was the inspiration for Anki to begin with: making your own flashcards on index cards! You could do a version of spaced repetition by shuffling the deck.

Not sure the digital version is actually easier or more effective


At one time I had more than 20,000 cards that I had >85% recall on after 21 days... Hard to do that without the digital version.

answer: adblocking in the browser (and other data scavenging which can be done with native app more easily than PWA)

What “data scavenging” can be done with an iOS app without the user explicitly giving the app permission?

User permission has little to do with it. Every input box has an error rate. If 1%-5% make the wrong choice, there is your data.

That's why people make apps that collect things even none of the users want them to. And if you can justify the permission box with some actual functionality, then it just increases the 1% to a far higher conversion rate.


And every permission available in apps there is probably a web standard for it…

There are literally dozens of ways to track web users that are not available in apps without explicit user permission


Operation "Catch of the Day"

I'm not kidding


and SCOTUS has ruled presidents have immunity for any actions while in office


>The Trump regime is acting like it wants a civil war.

it's not out of the question that incitement to invoke insurrection act and then cancel the midterms is the strategy


the guy in charge isn't thinking straight, and he saw that Ukraine had no elections during the war, and he saw that Russia had rigged elections during the war, and I don't know what other countries, but he might think America can skip elections during a war, if he starts enough wars, and he might be right.


also Ben Franklin: "A republic...if you can keep it"

(elipsis mine)


Even more of a relic: those militias weren't just bands of yeoman farmers. They were veterans of the recent French-and-Indian war. Often who had served with the commanders of the British forces arrayed against them. George Howe brother of William who ultimately became CiC of British forces in America died in the arms of Israel Putnam, one of the continental army's first generals at the battle of Ticonderoga. They thought so highly of him, the Massachusetts assembly allocated funds for a memorial to Howe at Westminster. George Howe (unlike ICE, lol) often had a hard time bringing ultimate force to bear as he didn't really see the colonials as "enemy".

I'd submit it's a violation of the 2A to allow the Nat Guard (essentially the continuation of those militias) to be forcibly nationalized (it took quite a bit of negotiating to get them all to join the fledgling continental army)

Anyhoo, tl;dr, for sure, 2A is an anachronism


given the entrenched attitudes and the time it takes to actually get people to do the thing as evidenced by all the contrarians in the thread...

it would take a lot more than that. Ain't no doc got all that time to go through all this with every person who should take cholesterol lowering medicine but wants to argue their internet sourced bs


I mean, how can you not like it?

It's hyperlegible!


you can get that both from Lenovo and Dell
