They could be sick from something else but get rid of a long standing comorbidity of a pariste infection, you bet they are feeling good. They just think that relief from the varied symptoms from parasite is actually something else cured.

Pretty much this, although it seems freeing the immune system from fighting the worm infection really does help it in fighting the Coronavirus infection: https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/ivermectin-much-more-than-you-wanted (Ctrl+F "The Synthesis").

TL;DR: Studies showing a positive effect from Ivermectin on Covid came mostly from areas with high worm infection incidence, areas with low incidence showed no or smaller positive effect.

Comparison of the English and German language wiki page for math symbols.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Glossary_of_mathematical_symbols&oldid=1342073856

and

https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Liste_mathematischer_Symbole&oldid=266615032

To be fair, if you go to the linked "List of logic symbols" article that has a table with Latex, Unicode, and even HTML codes. But it's only for logic symbols, no page for all mathematic symbols on the English Wikipedia as far as I can see, so no quick Ctrl+F searching for unicode/latex. :( And most other subsections don't even have a link to such a list.

I found AutoKey but that seems more focused on Text Input and doesn’t seem to support launching scripts individually (altouigh it has a Window Filter).

I'm not sure what exactly you mean by this, but AutoKey has Python scripting built in and an extensive API:

And from a Python script you can launch any other script/program you want with a subprocess library call.

You have been at war since the January 6th beerhall putsch attempt. It's just that one side didn't realise and didn't even put your new dictator into a luxury prison first before letting him get re-elected. Rookie mistake honestly.

No I'm going to tell you that is still irrelevant. The OP said:

I’ve had one that thought that “SSD” was a kind of RAM, and insisted on installing Windows on a hard drive.

It seems the student thought a SSD is RAM in the sense of "volatile CPU storage" and thus unfit for an OS install. And a SSD is not RAM in that sense of the word.

In the context of setting up a PC a SSD is a drive, not RAM. You couldn't pull out your RAM DIMMs and just run on your NVME/SATA SSD as RAM instead (unless your CPU/MB support that which to my knowledge isn't common). I'm not saying that flash memory isn't random access memory in the general sense of the word, I'm saying that when talking about a PC specifically RAM refers to special memory the motherboard makes directly available to the CPU, and a SSD isn't that.

Well it's special in the sense that opposed to the most common kind of RAM, DRAM and SRAM, it has non volatile storage. Which is why it's referred to as NVRAM instead of simply RAM. Saying RAM usually implies volatile storage in a PC, certainly does in the context of an OS install on a HDD and SSD, and in that context a SSD isn't RAM. Yes there are minutiae to the terminology, but I don't see how that's relevant here.

A special kind of RAM that is power cycle persistent but has other downsides and thus didn't really have success on the PC market?

To preempt the common interpretation of hackers as criminals.

a low latency kernel (whatever that means. I’ll get there to figure it out eventually)

It's a kernel with real-time process scheduling enabled by default.

In normal kernels a process can theoretically block all other processes from running for up to several seconds, which is obviously bad for time sensitive things like audio recordings or controlling a CNC-machine for example.

In real-time scheduling all processes are guaranteed time slices in more regular intervals. This is good for time sensitive things like audio recording, but since there is some scheduling overhead it's bad for single resource intensive processes or process trees like video games.

You can read more about the difference between a real time and low latency kernel here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/RealTimeKernel

Well, could it be considered random access memory?

Not really, a bit further down in the Wiki article it says:

RAM is normally associated with volatile types of memory where stored information is lost if power is removed.

Which is not really the case for SSDs (except for cached data that hasn't been written yet). That said, yes you can use a SSD as RAM through pagefiles, swap partitions, or whatever, but the same is true for a HDD. So in the context of where to install an OS it's a rather irrelevant detail. SSDs are power cycle persistent storage.

A few weeks in and Trump has essentially:

  • Full control of the (federal part of the) legislative branch.
  • Gutted the executive branch through DOGE and EOs.
  • Practically DDOSed the judicial branch.
  • Purged and replaced possibly disloyal military leadership.
  • Taken exploratory steps on declaring military law.
  • Made very thinly veiled threats of invasion towards several countries, two of which are currently allied with him.
  • Wiped out more than a century of foreign policy gains in a week (which is honestly somewhat impressive, in a fucked up kind of way).

Americans, if you ever wondered how the rise of the Nazi dictatorship looked like from the inside of Germany, wonder no more, it looked kind of like this.
