Huge outage: Lightning strike cuts power to thousands in the central North Island https://www.byteseu.com/579382/ #‘huge #adverse #Central #currently #cuts #in #Ísland #lightning #linked #NewZealand #north #outage #people #possibly #power #Strike #the #thousands #to #weather #without

I wish the term 'Ad-verse' had taken off when referring to corporate owned #SocialMedia sites.

It's such a catchy and fairly accurate term. I first came across this term from some guy on the #Fediverse when I was on social.bau-ha.us, but it never really took off.

But it's a nice easy way to say:

Those shitbag, manipulative, corporate-owned, consumed with corporate greed, advert-ridden, hell sites, owned by those corporate billionaire wannabe celebrity bellends everyone hates.

Patients have better outcomes with female surgeons

Differences in technique, speed and risk-taking are suggested as reasons for surgery by men leading to more problems

90 days after an operation, 13.9% of patients treated by a male surgeon had “adverse post-operative events”, a catch-all term that includes death and medical complications ranging from problems that require further surgery to major infections, heart attacks and strokes. The equivalent figure for patients seen by female surgeons was 12.5%.
Patients seen by female surgeons fared better one year after surgery too, with 20.7% having an #adverse #postoperative #event, compared with 25% of those seen by male surgeons.
When the doctors looked purely at #deaths post-surgery, the difference was even starker: patients treated by male surgeons were 25% more likely to die one year after surgery than those treated by female surgeons

I think it's also a good time to ressurect the #AdVerse adage as opposed to the #Fediverse

Canada to start tracking #adverse effects of #NaturalHealth products | CTV News https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/industry-blindsided-by-federal-government-s-plan-to-track-ill-effects-of-natural-health-products-1.6412461 “The provisions had been discussed before, said Aaron Skelton, president of the Canadian Health Food Association. But "there was nothing that would have indicated to industry that it was imminent," he said.”

But “blind sided”

@bloonface is it foolish of me to hope that people will realize they either can think about the cost of servers and moderation (and how the latter costs a lot more than the former), and make thoughtful choices that leave them better off than the #Adverse (@kensanata’s wonderful neologism)?

Or should I stop being naive and realize that most people don’t care about why their experience on a network is good or bad and just want the same old thing?

(I realize there’s a third option, maybe we’ll figure out how centralized systems can effectively keep a lid on abuse and hate, maybe.)

@kensanata great find, the #adverse
Biggest differentiator is that the #fediverse is based on a protocol, it's not a platform!
