Thanks for all your help!

@BruceDawson0xB Hi! We're looking at different compression options for our http symbol server, and I stumbled on your MS symbol server blog posts. I was wondering if you know what compression formats DbgHelp.dll supports (I *believe that's what Visual Studio uses?)

[Adrian Astley @adastley]

@BruceDawson0xB Ahh. So you're using http encoding gzip compression. If the user doesn't send the `Accept-Encoding: gzip`, the google cloud with dynamically decode it before sending.

A nationwide abortion ban was introduced today by Senate Republicans - aiming to limit abortions across the US. This ban would prohibit abortions after 15 wks, but medically their argument is false.

My 55 yo friend who is having postmenopausal bleeding just called me from CVS in TX bc they refused to fill her Rx for misoprostol (used to open the cervix) bc she couldn’t prove she wasn’t having an abortion. She is having surgery in 2 days. This is what total abortion bans do.

With the latest CDC guidance, you better believe our lives will be terribly disrupted.

Prepare for school and work absences and closures, for child care turbulence, for cancelled plans--along with poor health for many.

Less prevention does not translate into less disruption.
