They have solar over the six flags lots nearest to me too, definitely makes walking in the parking lot more comfortable and saves the car from going into oven mode!

- Comment on NHS bodies in England impose two-year minimum wait for ADHD and autism assessments 2 weeks ago:
I can understand trying to get a handle on reimbursements going to private providers when it’s causing drastic cost increases, but surely that should be accompanied by a plan to rapidly scale the timeline for publicly handled assessments? Our local university (US) just rolled out a specific ADHD assessment clinic because the demand (and, I am guessing the liability for prescribing ADHD meds as well) has skyrocketed.
West Yorkshire NHS integrated care board has introduced a minimum waiting time of two years from referral for anyone seeking an ADHD or autism assessment with an independent provider. That was in response to its bill for such assessments soaring from £7m in 2023-24 to £21m last year, it said.

I see! Thanks for the explanation. I agree it seems like providing some seating and darts is a happy middleground, I want a safe place to lounge when I drink and don’t want to bother the sober people.

Oh wow I’ve not responded to one of those texts (I always report and block) but I didn’t realize they would actually try to argue with you. Wonder if it’s a text bank or a bot.

It’s just a web client, logging in from other spaces wouldn’t be impacted. It would be at its own URL like Tesseract.Lemmy.World for Lemmy.world (made up example). It’s implemented at the instance level by instance admins. A lot of instances implement multiple options for their userbase so only users using that option would be impacted.

You know how people used voyager/boost/etc to access reddit? Well the web app is a similar idea (adds features, filter options, etc for customizing your Lemmy experience) except imagine the dev decided to add a secret filter list to the app where they added keywords, users, and subreddits that they didn’t like so you simply wouldn’t see them.
A fair number of instances had implemented a the web app (called Tesseract, search Lemmy for that term if you want more details).
The reason it’s good to be on the list is because the list includes a bunch of popular lefty communities including some entire instances like Blahaj. Being listed individually just means you made the dev butthurt at some point so they decided people using their front end shouldn’t get to see your posts.

My family’s car was a new chevy and was terrible. A/C broke within 4 years (unrepairable due to bad design) and constant mechanical issues. Also you had to remove the wiper fluid box to access the battery!!
My first car was a used chevy and was also terrible. Engine failed.
My second car was/is a used toyota and I’ve been driving it for 12 of its 18 years on the road with only one major repair. I expect it to die soon but am quite happy with its longevity and reliability.
