Doctor Who: Here's Why David Tennant is The Face of The Modern Era (bleedingcool.com)

Let’s look back at Series Two of the modern era of Doctor Who, Russell T. Davies’ second season, and David Tennant’s first season as The Tenth Doctor. It was here that the series’ shift into a global phenomenon began, and Tennant became the face of the modern era of Doctor Who in the same way Tom Baker is still...

Ten will always be MY Doctor. David Tennant is honestly just so frigging talented, he made even the silliest storylines entertaining but grounded. I’m very much looking forward to the special. Him and Catherine Tate together were magic.

Good. We need more providers in BC. It’s great that they will be working under physician supervision as well.

Wow. This was…bad. Visually stunning but that’s about it. Screenplay was trite and inept. John David Washington was awful. It’s quite frustrating because it could’ve been something more. The production design was so gorgeous and I generally enjoyed the world building. It’s the lack of any character development and the clunky screenplay that’s really dragging this down. What a disappointment.

Also, go home Hans Zimmer. That score was so heavy-handed, it drove me fucking crazy.

I had the 13 mini before lol so this is quite an adjustment.

Voyager is fantastic. I started with Memmy and settled on Voyager for a while. But I’m trying Avelon right now and it’s smoooooth. The swipe back function works much better on Avelon, and their “Explore” tab is great.

I have the 13 mini and ordered the 15 pro max. Prior to the mini I had the XS Max. I clearly don’t know what I want.

New Vaccine Can Completely Reverse Autoimmune Diseases Like Multiple Sclerosis, Type 1 Diabetes, and Crohn’s Disease (scitechdaily.com)

Researchers from Pritzker Molecular Engineering, under the guidance of Prof. Jeffrey Hubbell, demonstrated that their compound can eliminate the autoimmune response linked to multiple sclerosis. Researchers at the University of Chicago's Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) have developed

I disagree actually. I think with a series they can actually flesh out the stories and characters more. The movies were missing so much stuff.

How I discovered 4K IPTV (Yes really, the resolution is 2160p). (lemmy.opensupply.space)

For the last 2 months, I’ve been reaching out to every single IPTV provider I could find online to compare their services. After trying out close to 30 services and ranking them in a spreadsheet, I was surprised by the huge gap in quality. At this point I started to get curious, I thought, “How good can it really get?”...

No it’s the same. Then again I can’t recall seeing any marshmallow on the shelves when I visit home. I don’t think it’s a common snack in Taiwan but I could be wrong!

New Reddit refugee here. Question on moderation

Hi! I came here looking for an alternative to Reddit which is less of a liberal echo chamber. It looks good, even more responsive. But I wonder, how is the moderation here? Biggest problem I have with Reddit is that it is becoming increasingly impossible to have discussions about “sensitive topics”. Even if you are being...

mancy,
@mancy@lemmy.ca avatar

Imagine saying a woman isn’t a woman and thinking you’re being civil.

You’ll find an instance that fits your liking though, I’m sure. Most other instances won’t be federated with it but you don’t want to live in our “liberal echo chamber” anyway.

If you think Lemmy by default is a safe haven for conservative bigots then you’re gonna be very disappointed.

I didn’t realize liberals must congregate on Reddit. I must have missed that memo.

I left Reddit for many reasons, and I don’t owe you an explanation on any of them.

Most health care providers go over risks and benefits prior to initiating any kind of treatment. What the hell are you on about?

If I have an overweight patient who has tried for years to lose weight but can’t sustain it (which is the case for most overweight people) and are at risk for metabolic diseases and cardiovascular complications, and I have something that evidence tells me can help with weight management, you bet your ass I’m going to talk about it as an option.

Or would you prefer that fat people remain fat until they develop diabetes (and its various associated complications) before I’m even allowed to discuss semaglutide?

Patients are oftentimes aware of the potential side effects and the rebound weight gain. People don’t jump straight to an expensive injectable drug as the first option for weight management. It’s something that they try after a string of failed attempts by other means.

mancy,
@mancy@lemmy.ca avatar

I don’t see many providers in my life that prescribe semaglutide to non-diabetic people who aren’t considered overweight. Social media isn’t real life. Most providers won’t prescribe medications for weight loss unless the BMI supports it. The fact of the matter is that A LOT of people in Canada and US are overweight and with that comes with a slew of health complications that frankly I’d like to mitigate for my patients.

Feature Request: swipe back to middle of comments

One of my favorite Apollo features was I could be in the middle of a deep comment section. Swipe back to the homepage, then swipe over into where I left off in the comments. I believe this was handled by edge swipes vs swipes from not quite the edge for up/down votes. No idea how it remembered location....

mancy,
@mancy@lemmy.ca avatar

I think that was swipe forward right? You can either swipe back or forward and that was my my favourite thing about Apollo too.

For now I’m just happy that swipe back works. I’m sure one day swipe forward will be implemented!

Why not have a pinned mega thread that points to the discussion threads of the week, instead of pinning the individual threads?

mancy,
@mancy@lemmy.ca avatar

I mean what you said is fine too, I’m just throwing out suggestions.

You can easily have

  • NEWLY RELEASED MOVIES OF THE WEEK (list movie names)
  • TV DISCUSSION OF THE WEEK

Then you only have two pinned posts where people can easily find threads instead of like 4 pinned movie posts, even if you do separate the movie and TV community.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

mancy,
@mancy@lemmy.ca avatar

we could do that, but in a dedicated movie community

Sounds good to me!

I’m not defending Baldwin and this is sort of beside the point because I think that he either misremembered or is lying his face off, but shouldn’t the argument be that the gun should NOT have been loaded? Actors probably have to pull back the trigger on prop guns all the time and it’s the armorer that’s responsible for the overall safety of the weapons.

B.C. woman says bus driver threatened to refuse service unless she put on a jacket (bc.ctvnews.ca)

Good work! Thank you. Hexbear users are trolls. They’re not in it for discussion in good faith. I’ve blocked a few offenders here and there but honestly I think the culture there is so toxic that we’re better off not being federated with them.

New Covid vaccines are on the way as 'Eris' variant rises (www.reuters.com)

Some public health experts hope that Americans will welcome the new shot as they would a flu jab. But demand for the vaccine has dropped sharply since 2021 when it first became available and more than 240 million people in the U.S., or 73% of the population, received at least one shot....

I’ve had 5 shots and would take more if offered. Make it an annual thing!!

That’s fair. I did not know the background of lemmy.ml or hexbear and I’m certainly learning that users from particularly the latter are somewhat unstable. I just subbed to a bunch of top news communities when I joined Lemmy. That’s on me lol.
