Does it make sense to accumulate percentages this way? Do I really have a 17% chance of passing due to one of the improbable causes that are a fraction of 1%? This seems wrong intuitively. Source: https://knowyourchances.cancer.gov/your\_chances.html

Wawawa, Reddit doesn’t believe in free speech.
FYI, it only applies to Congress, meaning it cannot make laws infringing on free speech. Reddit can do whatever the hell they want as far as banning whatever.
Almost every time I do a restart, my two big monitors are set to duplicate display. I can’t imagine why anybody would want that setup. Does anyone know a good reason?
Why is an attachment necessary? I don’t see it in the community rules.
I occasionally somehow make a video replay speed up 2X. It’s something about how I’m holding it on the top left part of the case, but I haven’t discovered how to do it intentionally. It resets to normal speed when I hit the power button. Can anyone clue me into how this is happening?

And for fuck’s sake, stop going nowhere in 10 different directions.
I came across this website, The Sick Times, and just received their first newsletter. While I am mostly recovered, I realized that their newsletter would be an incredible resource to anyone with Long Covid who wants to keep up on new research coming out but cannot go through long articles or sort through a lot of multi-tasking decisions on what to read.
The Sick Times is being run by legit science journalists with an advisory board of PhD scientists. There is a lot of transparency shared about where their funding comes from and what their goals are. (I am not affiliated, just an impressed reader.)
Articles are a mix of either reporting or personal stories, which is lovely when you just want to read from someone else who gets it. I couldn't read the entire interview they did with filmmaker Chimére Sweeney as it triggered my PTSD, but I know I will return to it. (Also shout out to others out there recovered or partially recovered who are using this experience to fuel our art!)
The newsletter is weekly, but you can access past newsletters here as well. The research part was summarized so efficiently that even though I had read most of the articles they collected over the past week, I felt moved by how clear and concise they were to the most important points, especially for people needing answers.
