I could be wrong, but my impression is that there is less politics and less bias involved in defining words and and providing pronunciations and etymologies then there is an articles about history and politics and people.
I especially like Wiktionary from the point of view of exploring cognates between languages and etymologies that cross language boundaries, in a big dictionary that covers many languages all at once.
Ah. I get it now.
My work is forcing me to use Edge, and Edge is giving me news when I open up a new tab, and I’m upset to notice that the news seems to alternate between Raw Story and Daily Mail for “balance”.
The choice of the Lemmy title to match the Raw Story title is understood.
I’m giving the more general guidance to do the extra work to track down Raw Story’s source, the Guardian in this case, and to link directly to that.
Raw Story is always a repost, generally sensationalized, and not always with a link to the source.
Best to find the original reporting: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/oct/07/trump-aide-corey-lewandowski-sidelined
This is the underlying article written by Caroline Giuliani: https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/caroline-giuliani-trump-kamala-harris
Sorry, I see that basically all of this information was in the original article as well.
This article traces the source of this particular long-time delusion / fabrication:
After Trump made the claim in 2019, Trott contacted CNN to note that at a roundtable event with automotive executives in 2017, Trump had suggested he received the “Man of the Year” award at a 2013 event in Michigan where Trott had invited him to give a speech, a Lincoln Day dinner Trott had chaired in Oakland County. At that event, Trott gave Trump a framed copy of Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address and other gifts. But Trott emphatically noted that he did not give Trump any “Man of the Year” award, nor did anyone else there.

I did not understand the issue when I first wrote that comment and posted it in the wrong place on a Sync for Reddit thread.
Nor did I fully understand the issue when I copied that comment here.
But I did figure out a few moments later when I read the referenced report.
I appreciate the clarification, as I’m sure will others.
I’ve switched back to Boost in the interim.
Seems like it should be an easy fix for Sync for Lemmy to use post_ids instead of post_id.
In the meantime, I guess I’ll poke around for an alternate Android client.
For greater clarity, it’s an issue with Sync for Lemmy continuing to use an API parameter that was formerly deprecated and now entirely removed from Lemmy.
Sync for Lemmy is identifying a post that needs to be marked as read using a single value parameter, but it should use a slightly different parameter that could accept multiple posts.
Just found this post. Copying and pasting a comment I made elsewhere:
I just started having this problem in the past few days after it working for a long time.
I’ve cleared all my data and reset all my settings. On the web I have it set to not show read posts. In the app I haven’t set to mark read on scroll. And to show read posts as dimmed.
But no matter how much I scroll nothing gets dimmed, and when I refresh everything is still there.
Everyone is saying no, and I’m no expert, and I believe that for purposes beyond amusement value, the answer basically is no, but…
The times that I’ve had covid, the strength of the T signal has started weak, gotten strong, and then trailed slowly off over the course of days.
Same for family members.
Same for acquaintances who I’ve seen post day-by-day test photos on social media.
I’ve read that if you are vaccinated and boosted, your antigen response kicks in faster and so more closely parallels your communicability curve. That is to say that unvaccinated people will be communicable before home antigen tests start noticing that you’re responding. But people who have had covid or vaccinations will test positive sooner. And specifically I’ve read that during the incubation stage when you are infected but not very communicable yet the tests may miss you, but on the other hand that’s okayish because you’re not very communicable yet.
Everything that everyone has said about all the variability can be at least partially controlled, if you are using the same test batch, in the same location, at the same time of day, following the same idiosyncratic procedure for each.
Sea level?
It once worked magically for me to watch television.
Practicing touch typing.
I don’t know how many times I’ve absent-mindedly “strummed” my fingers by tapping out “This is a test of the emergency broadcast system. This is only a test. In the event of a real emergency…”, a TV memory from my childhood.
When I first learned touch typing, I did consciously practice this way. ASDF, JKL;. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
Chisanbop or chisenbop (from Korean chi (ji) finger + sanpŏp (sanbeop) calculation 지산법/指算法), sometimes called Fingermath, is a finger counting method used to perform basic mathematical operations.
You might be already doing this. If you strum your fingers of your right hand by pressing your index, middle, ring, and pinky to your desktop, and then do the same thing again starting with your thumb, you’ve just counted from 0 to 9. Do the same on your left hand and you’ve gone from 00 to 90. It’s really easy to do simple math this way by counting on your fingers.
For stimming purposes, you might just start by counting up or counting down, then maybe counting up by twos or counting down by threes.
This is the approach that I’ve known for many decades now. I’ve seen YouTube videos of kids doing amazing fast calculations like multiplying large numbers using what looks like a different method in that their hands are in the air. I’ll leave it to you to Google the other approaches if this direction interests you.
I believe that the answer is second cousin once removed.
I believe you need to count the distance to the common ancestor from the older generation of the two people being related.
I agree that the first common ancestor is OP’s great-great-grandparent. But only OP’s relation’s great-grandparent. So OP’s parent and OP’s relation are second cousins.
Then the removed takes you down the tree from OP’s parent to OP.
