I have been thinking a lot about what a cancer diagnosis used to mean. How in the ‘80s and ‘90s, when someone was diagnosed, my parents would gently prepare me for their death. That chemo and radiation and surgery just bought time, and over the age of fifty people would sometimes just. Skip it. For cost reasons, and for quality of life reasons. My grandmother was diagnosed in her early seventies and went directly into hospice for just under a year — palliative care only. And often, after diagnosis people and their families would go away — they’d cash out retirement or sell the house and go live on a beach for six months. Or they’d pay a charlatan all their savings to buy hope. People would get diagnosed, get very sick, leave, and then we’d hear that they died.

And then, at some point, the people who left started coming back.

It was the children first. The March of Dimes and Saint Jude set up programs and my town would do spaghetti fundraisers and raffles and meal trains to support the family and send the child and one parent to a hospital in the city — and the children came home. Their hair grew back. They went back to school. We were all trained to think of them as the angelic lost and they were turning into asshole teens right in front of our eyes. What a miracle, what a gift, how lucky we are that the odds for several children are in our favor!

Adults started leaving for a specific program to treat their specific cancer at a specific hospital or a specific research group. They’d stay in that city for 6-12 months and then they’d come home. We fully expected that they were still dying — or they’d gotten one of the good cancers. What a gift this year is for them, we’d think. How lucky they are to be strong enough to ski and swim and run. And then they didn’t stop — two decades later they haven’t stopped. Not all of them, but most of them.

We bought those extra hours and months and years. We paid for time with our taxes. Scientists found ways for treatment to be less terrible, less poisonous, and a thousand times more effective.

And now, when a friend was diagnosed, the five year survival odds were 95%. My friend is alive, nearly five years later. Those kids who miraculously survived are alive. The adults who beat the odds are still alive. I grew up in a place small enough that you can see the losses. And now, the hospital in my tiny hometown can effectively treat many cancers. Most people don’t have to go away for treatment. They said we could never cure cancer, as it were, but we can cure a lot of cancers. We can diagnose a lot of cancers early enough to treat them with minor interventions. We can prevent a lot of cancers.

We could keep doing that. We could continue to fund research into other heartbreaks — into Long Covid and MCAS and psych meds with fewer side effects and dementia treatments. We could buy months and years, alleviate the suffering of our neighbors. That is what funding health research buys: time and ease.

Anyway, I’m preaching to the choir here. But it is a quiet miracle what’s happened in my lifetime.

Cystic fibrosis used to be a "disease of childhood" because people who had it rarely lived to be adults. Now it's considered a chronic illness.

[catboybiologist]

I know I'm saying this as someone who's career largely depends on this, but: please, this is why we need basic science research. If you ever see a headline or snippet about something "ridiculous" that scientists are doing, you are being propagandized. You are being lied to. And it's in a way that aims to stop this progress.

Finally fixed my dell laptop and like, figured out how to fix my HP despite being told it was fried through years ago, because HP/dell have shared multiple part manufacturers forever and their builds are pretty similar

And I just

I have to bitch about this

So for the past few months my Windows 11 download has basically been making it to them my laptop will go into sleep mode and refuse to wake up, but blare the fucking fans the whole time and overheat, which has cooked through my main fucking battery.

And all of the solutions online never touched on this, but it literally worked for two fucking computers because it's THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM

Which is this

This, or rather these, are cmos/bios batteries. They typically last a few years, sit on the motherboard, and power the cmos chip that stores date/time and bios settings. Their slow death makes your computer shittier and for some ungodly reason, it's a bitch to get an actual manufacturer's repair shop to replace them.

For some reason though, windows 11 speeds up the degradation of these and has even more nightmarish reactions to an even some what dying cmos battery than usual. So like, even if you replaced it recently, if you went through a major install on a windows 11 machine it will for some ungodly reason still majorly eat it. Post major updates, you're fine, it's just ass.

So, six dollars. Cmos replaced (it's literally a coin battery). 98% of problem fixed and PCs that were previously unable to boot at all brought back to life, go into terminal, powercfg/a and check whether sleep state 3 is enabled. If not, registry, run key to enable state 3.

Computer can now awaken. (And fully power on/run without issues if bricked sometimes.)

Did this, battery swap, and checked the barrel port despite having only just replaced it on the off chance there was any damage. Nope.

Anyway, it's so stupid and annoying I just want this to exist somewhere on the internet for someone else to see so they don't end up going through hell like me.

hey as a small notice, ive had to leave genshin entirely including discord servers and unfollowing blogs for my own well being, but details below:

i have maladaptive daydreams and well. it got to a dangerous point, that actually had me unable to control myself, and running outside in the middle of the night.

genshin had been the center of my maladaptive for the past two years and that specific dangerous episode. im also leaving behind all other media that has ever featured in my daydreams.

this is a difficult time for me, and im sorry to everyone ive had to leave behind because of this

but i hope to be back some day, better able to engage with things in a healthy manner
