In most places, if they’ve been clean for 6 - 12 months, they are no longer considered alcoholic in terms of transplantation. Similar to Canada
Since no one has mentioned it, USA has the same policy basically.
It is worse.
If the living partial liver doesn’t take hold, it dies off and becomes necrotic, and would need another surgery to take out or it’ll become necrotic and they’ll die of sepsis. It’s also unlikely they’d survive such second surgery, due to the already existing liver failure + first surgery trauma.
In this case, you’d be asking doctors to directly kill the patient in a more painful way for a very tiny chance that it may save them, on top of if they do survive, assuming they don’t relapse into alcoholism and die anyway. All while technically injuring someone else (the live donor).
There’s like a thousand Linux distros. Having one be ready and easy to use, no hassle or deeper knowledge needed, won’t stop the great many others that exist without bumper rails. Arch and Nix etc will still keep existing, so you can chill out, edgelord.
What gets worse?
And that’s what we call survivorship bias. Sure you’ll be ticking along fine until some Legionella or Botulism just kills you before anyone knows it, other than maybe the doctor if you see one on time and the coroner. Then the next you online just assumes no need to wash things with soap because you just blipped out silently from existence.
There’s a reason billions of humans didn’t populate the earth until modern sanitation and understanding of disease.
Now sure some dirt every now and then from gardening (you still breathe some in after all) will do you good, keep your immune system busy. You’re right on that. But eating carrots straight from the ground is just rolling an unnecessary gamble you don’t need. You’re not wrong in that too much sanitation isn’t good either - but you do misunderstand a bit what that means. You don’t have to wear gloves working the ground - unless you have open cuts. You don’t have to soap up your carrots - but you do gotta give em a good rinse. Just dial it back a bit and you’ll make it unlikely to end up in a miserable time later in life, while still getting those benefits. A castle is strong, but just takes one thing to sneak in to bring it down from the inside - best not invite too many invaders once it’s already been built
Just make sure your router is updated. I recommend gl.inet routers if you’re a beginner - easy to keep up to date and their version of OpenWRT has AdGuard installed. Malware can affect more than just the computer you use
This is a good right to mention Obtanium, which is an app that basically streamlines that
BG3 runs fine for me on Nvidia 3090 using BazziteOS.
Did you use different distros that were actually from different code bases, or was it just 6 flavors of Debian? BazziteOS is based off Fedora. I’ve had issues only with Debian based distros (which technically includes Ubuntu btw)
By not putting the solar farms in Rovaniemi?
They’re in Uusimaa region, which still gets some sunlight in winter. Either way, they produce massive amounts of energy in the Summer, and in the winter we use the nuclear reactors more.
I live in Finland. Can confirm we have solar energy. It’s extremely useful considering that in the summer we have near 24 hours of sunlight.
You should listen to the podcast “Stuff you Should Know” episode on Wikipedia called “The Big Episode on Wikipedia”.
Wikipedia doesn’t really quite work like you stated, and especially the huge topics like this, they tend to be more factual, detailed, accurate, and researched than even long established encyclopedias.
Just wondering, but why isn’t it possible to just use something like the RethinkDNS app and block all internet access Nova has? That’s what I’ve done at least. Haven’t found a launcher I like as much, and don’t see why a launcher would need internet access constantly. I already use RethinkDNS to block other apps too, like Gboard
Tryp BazziteOS next instead of Pop. It’s a Linux OS that’s designed for gaming and comes with all drivers, emulators, proton, etc out of the box. Also based on Fedora, which in my experience does better in the gaming department.
Kodi / Libreelec are in the same vein as Android TV. There extremely neutered operating systems that can basically only do that one thing, so if they failed at it, well…
You can really edit documents, run YouTube with a decent UI, possibly use sponsor block, can’t do video game streaming.
Actually, I take it back, Kodi etc are more limited than Android TV on the Pi, since at least that supports Steam Link and Moonlight streaming.
So yeah, like Android, it can play the video. But it can do anything else like if I were to run any actual distro.
I didn’t know VLC worked with IPTV. I’m guessing through plug in?
VLC was giving me issues too when playing video as well though, but only on some distros
That’s extremely useful to know about yt-dlp.
I’ve only ever used it to download videos permanently fire offline viewing when traveling. I never knew it could work as a temp cache as well.
I’ll probably make a comment linking comments here with good solutions soon.
Ask that’s left is to figure out a decent IPTV program. Really liked Hypnotix but it seems it’s just too much for the Pi
You mean SCP 835?
