I am using PHP as a metaphor. Like, even a script kiddie could get up a working PHP site and it doesn’t matter how spaghetti the code is - it will still run.

Even a vibe coded site can be secured, the language doesn’t matter. Shitty sites with terrible security have always and will always exist on the web. AI didn’t start this trend and we should not pretend like web development has been like this for years.

I choose NA beer for that exact reason and its been a really big tool for me to keep my sobriety. It works for some and for others it doesn’t but I am glad its available as an option for me. But had I never started drinking in the first place I would not like beer, so I am not sure why anyone would buy NA beer unless, like me, they are trying to scratch an itch that can’t be scratched like it was before.

Ok, I did the digging on this because you asked. I actually just assumed because I was carded for NA beer that this was a law.

In the US, federally it is not illegal to sell less than 0.5% without carding. But many states treat NA beer the same as normal beer and they require the person be over 21. In the states that do not require 21 and over for NA beer many (most) stores and bars will still card because its better safe than sorry when it comes to ABC and losing your license.

So even tho it might be legal, you are probably still going to get carded, except at this place I guess.

But also I am struggling to understand why someone would choose to drink NA beer if they didn’t already know what real beer was like and was trying to avoid it by getting the NA kind (like me). Like - NA beer costs the same as real beer, just buy literally anything else to drink and its cheaper.

If this store is in the US they are stupid for making this sign and they can get in quite a bit of trouble for this with ABC. NA beer is still 21 and over, its not “beer for kids”

You still have to be 21 to buy NA beer. Even if its 0.0, the stores will get in trouble for not carding.

Yes, if your immediate family has had the same type of cancer you are already at an elevated risk. I would suggest she get gene testing done as well. I know it sounds crazy from the other side, but if I had had the option to have a preventive mastectomy and reconstruction and called it a day with cancer instead of years of treatment with chemo, radiation and multiple surgeries with complications, I absolutely would have.

No, not for Kaiser at least, but if you have history, certain genes or additional risk factors to be screened early you can. Once you are 40 Kaiser will let you get one if you request it. Once you are 50 they push you to get one once a year.

There have been a number of vibe coded php websites that were just sitting open for anyone to look at the personal information, because no one who knew what they were doing was involved.

Re-wrote this for you for 2016.

Just saying, the web has been like this forever. The only thing AI is changing about people building insecure websites with shit code that that they look like someone talked to a designer for 10 seconds before it went up.

One chemo treatment is ~$35,000 without insurance and you normally need 4-6 chemo treatments over the course of a few months. And they won’t give you the chemo until you pay. My personal treatment plan was 6 treatments in 4 months.

A mammogram or colonoscopy is going to run you about $100 to $3000 without insurance once a year.

There is also many groups that will help offset the cost of getting the preventative exams. If you are really putting this off due to costs, DM me the location you are in and I will try to find a organization in your area that will help pay for the treatment.

EDIT: this is in the US, normal countries cover healthcare costs like this.

First, as a “young” (40s) breast cancer survivor, this is my worst nightmare. I was diagnosed with Stage 1A. I was very lucky to have caught it when I did, I was 42 and you normally don’t get your first mammogram until 50. I finished treatment almost 3 years ago. I still have consent anxiety about a recurrence or worse - recurrence + it metastasized. In my support group you join and then you leave when you die and I have watch far too many young women leave in the last 4 years.

Secondly, Stage 4 might be incurable but its not a quick death sentence anymore. With proper management de novo breast cancer like this can be kept in check for decades. It’s not the same as life without cancer, but also, if you get stage 4 breast cancer, its not the end.

Bottom line - don’t let anyone tell you you are too young to get checked for any cancer and if you have been putting it off, do it now. Its better to know at Stage 1 and do the treatment when its the most effective and the easiest.

I hate that I did this exact thing last year.

Yea, I got to agree, I am a paying Proton customer and I really like the product, I like the privacy first, all encryption, I like that they aren’t using ads to monetize and I don’t mind having a paid account if it supports them having free accounts. Honestly, there is a lot of good things they could be putting out there as great PR for Proton but between this and that French Youtuber this year, this marketing team is striking out left and right.

I think if I am presented with an are you a robot captcha check box every 10 refreshes on lemmy.world for being on a VPN, that is the least we can do for bots.

I remember driving my dad’s mid 90’s extended cab ranger and it felt huge. I have a core memory of trying to do a U-turn on a mildly busy street in it and how stressful that was for teenage me.

That is because in China, the federal government takes care of paying local social services, like schools, emergency services, parks, and libraries. In the US, these costs are funded, in part or in full by properties taxes.

I mustache them a question.

Yea I my eye on the Slate, I’ll wait to see the rollout on that one.
