Basically couldn't have come any later really. They're already coming out the gates scrabbling with just 3 months and change until voting starts.

So, based on your sources, the first one states "'connected consciousness’ occurs when people under general anaesthetic are able to respond to outside stimuli such as pain but may not be able to recall the event afterwards." This occurred with 1 out of 10 patients in their study. But responding to the environment is much different than consciousness under anesthesia.

The second source was pay walled, but in the third from the BBC, it states "the unfortunate result is that a small proportion of people may lie awake for part or all of their surgery without any ability to signal their distress." It's important to remember it's only a "small proportion" of folks!

I've unfortunately had more than 10 surgical procedures and I'm also a major odd ball when it comes to treatments for my autoimmune disorders. But I've never once had any issues with anethesia, aside from specific drugs making me irritable when coming too. You'll almost certainly be fine. I found this research paper that's super specific to your question: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2743249/

It covers how somewhere between 0.05% and 0.1% of patients undergoing anesthesia are aware of the operation during the procedure. While this is a truly minor proportion, it isn't 0%, and this is one reason why surgery is a last resort. Regardless, the numbers are on your side and do your best not to manifest this into taking place during your operation!

I said "more affordable" as I was comparing the 8a, 8, and 8 Pro. Whenever a new model comes out, last years always has a price cut. I didn't think referencing the 7a was required, as it's implied it's less expensive than 8a. But the 7a only will be supported for 5 years, while 8a will be for 7 years. This alone could make it the better choice. However, I know finances are different for everyone. Regardless, when I said it's more affordable, this was a reference to it being noticeably less expense than the 8 and 8 Pro.

Siren Song of a Counter Culture is fantastic cover to cover, definitely my favorite album. But all there stuff is honestly amazing.

The Pixel 8a is more affordable vs the 8 and 8 Pro. The 8a comes in at $499, while the 8 cost $699 and the Pro runs $999. The 8a still has an amazing camera, the battery will give you no problems, and it's not a MASSIVE device like most phones these days. It's probably the best way to get on Graphene OS at a reasonable price point.

Exactly, more than half of registered voters are over 50. So polling 50+ year olds would definitely be better data.

JMP is the bees knees, couldn't be happier with the service. The app takes a little bit of getting used to, but once dialed in it can function right along side your phones main number. Zero issues with it working on websites too, highly recommended!

Whao, ACAB started with skinheads?! Hopefully these days they're pissed about it being "stolen" by folks trying to fight against fascism.

Android user? Graphene looks like it's worth the setup process more and more. Pixels are the only Google product worth while thanks to Graphene really.

Just like the link in the iOS section, there's a link in the Android section. Both were in the first sentence, I believe. But I had to give the article another once over to find it.

I mean, the doc's are available through the link. But here's some screen grabs:

AFU: After First Unlock

BFU: Before First Unlock

BF: Brute Force

FBE: File Based Encryption

FDE: Full Device Encryption

FFS: Full File System

Sounds very similar to the settings option I referenced. Since I use my phone for music in my car via USB-C, it'd would prevent me from playin tunes and adding more music to my library. So I just set it to need to be unlocked for any data transfer. But this could do the job too I'd think.
