I was looking for digital sculpting apps a few months ago for my iPad and I wasn't too happy with the interfaces compared to Blender. This looks exactly like what I was looking for. Amazing work.
I actually love this comment, because personally, Dostoevsky doesn't rank very highly in terms of literature for me.
Maybe because I feel like his examination of human nature or the bleak reality of things feels less impactful now that its such a common thing to write about. I can recognize his historical importance but in modernity his work I believe falls behind.
Did you read the article? It mentions fibromyalgia, which is a chronic pain condition with an unknown root cause. If you have any information the rest of the world doesn't have regarding the root cause of it, maybe you should have made that your comment instead of a cliche aphorism.
It's not quite as unknown as commonly believed. At least 40% of fibromyalgia have observable neuropathy on biopsies pointing to a process that is damaging nerves. The "what" is still unknown. But the parent is correct to say for fibromyalgia patients the optimal solution is a treatment (or cure) targeting that damaging process, rather than a pain killer.
This is not to say better pain killers aren't valuable, they obviously are, it's just that for many of these chronic pain disorders there is some underlying cause that if we can treat would be the better solution.
Chemotherapy is the known cure for cancer, so a more accurate statement would be saying, "Pain killers are pointless, just find a cure for the cancer."
But no one is saying painkillers is pointless. Parent is saying painkillers should be temporary. I suspect they forgot to mention the "in an ideal world" bit.
No, that doesn't really make sense. Note in your example of cancer that pain killers are in fact given to cancer patients, they're one of the biggest users of our strongest pain killers. But nobody claims painkillers treat the cancer. So how could we claim pain killers treat other illnesses such as fibromyalgia?
Chemotherapy is a treatment that targets the actual cause of the pain (the cancer) and (hopefully) kills it, leading to remission and (hopefully) return to normal function of the person as a cancer free individual.
A pain killer is something that does not target the cause of pain, does not treat or reverse or cause remission for that cause, and does not cause the individual to be illness free.
It just makes the person feel less pain, so they can be more comfortable.
From the Reddit live thread:
The Editor in Chief of Süddeutsche Zeitung responded to the lack of United States individuals in the documents, saying to "Just wait for what is coming next".
Many people have totally lost faith in establishment politicians... our system is constantly exploited by business and even "good" politicians have shady support (through lobbying/superpacs/etc). If a mainstream politician is implicated in this mess, it gives the public concrete evidence to improve the status quo.
It's like the Snowden leaks. Many knew about the NSA conspiracies years before his information came out. For all those years the public was blind to their rights slowly slipping away as precedents were set, while those that knew were ignored as paranoid nutters. Now we can see the light.
edit: to be clear, I'm not talking about any specific politician here.
Some people don't care what it takes to get their guy to win. If she has corrupt dealings, I hope they are exposed, but I don't hope she has corrupt dealings (though many would already say she does).
