Hospitals are stretched to their limits during unseasonably early heatwave, as medical authorities liken public health risk to a ‘natural disaster’

Medical experts in Japan are to add a “most severe” category to the current heatstroke index, amid warnings that the extreme heat is straining medical services and causing damage to public health comparable to that in a “natural disaster”.

The Japanese Association for Acute Medicine said it would add a fourth category to the three-level classification later this year in an attempt to reduce deaths from heatstroke.

The announcement came in the same week as authorities in Tokyo said six people had died from the effects of a heatwave that has sent temperatures as high as 40C in some parts of the country – well above the 35C threshold classified by weather officials as “extremely hot”.

Links that open natively in Sync (like news articles) are often riddled with ads. Is there any way for the Sync shell to open through a Firefox based browser, which includes native ad block?

I'm not sure if this is related to what browsers I have on my phone. I do have one chromium based browser (kiwi) installed, and if getting rid of that would fix the problem I could look into deleting it and leaving only FF on my phone. But I'm not sure if it's related.

(hopefully someone with more AI experience can pull this off better but I couldn't get it to replace all of a person's skin with denim no matter how many iterations I went through)

I was on a streaming site and fumbled some keystroke that popped up a menu where one option was "disable keyboard shortcuts". I accidentally clicked on it and now the arrow keys don't scroll, space doesn't pause, etc. I can't figure out where that menu is to restore functionality to the keyboard, even after a browser restart.

As far as I can tell, this is site specific, as the keyboard works for youtube and other streaming sites. Any ideas? If it helps, the site I was on is fmoviesz dot to

Was watching From (horror series from MGM) and one of the episodes had the credits listed in a strange order. I know there's some politicking in who gets listed in what order, but this was odd because it was for very minor parts.

There's a gaggle of 7 scary children who are basically there to look creepy, and while they technically have speaking parts, they all just say the same gibberish word over and over. In the credits for S02E10, after the one guest star, the next screen lists (among other cast) "ghoulish child" #5 and #7, then the screen after that lists #2, 3, 4, and 6 (one of the kids is called "ghastly child" and I guess is more main, though I couldn't really see a difference).

Any idea what could cause this? Could kids 5 and 7 be related to the director or something? What possible reason could there be for listing such minor parts out of order? And if they wanted a couple kids featured more prominently, why wouldn't they just call those kids 2 and 3 instead of 5 and 7?

Ever since the comic stopped regular updates I forget about it for awhile then I have a few random updates to go back through. Glad Gurewitch is still making new material, even if it's infrequent.
