When they stretch harder they just blame the war/immigrants/politics/weather. When there’s some slack it’s because of the company’s tireless work at improving everyone’s life. Until it’s time to stretch again.

Denmark says no, the politicians in Greenland say no. What is Trump going to do? Invoke article 5 on himself?

Cool, what you’re doing over there?

Too old to explore the world, too young to explore the universe.

Why more? Why add an extra layers, more complexity? Why not just ban deposits? The rental contract already covers damages caused by tenants. And it’s not like you pay a €2000 deposit, cause €10.000 worth of damage and not have to pay the additional €8000.

Maybe in the past, with cash payments and paper records. Deposits added a layer or security. But does that still hold true today? I’m sure landlords will disagree.

If the landlord believes the tenant left the property in a damaged state, they can enforce the contract. Upside is that it’s not worth it to sue for trivial shit like nail holes or greasy stove vacuums. Now the tenants are always on the backfoot, spending money to get their own money back.

Also, the earth will never be in the same place twice. So it’s not even like you can only jump increments of a solar year.

Never read Diamond Age, I’ll put it on my list. Thanks for the reply and recommendation.

Years ago I thought Balaji was a genius. But now he’s just a rich guy who thinks just because he’s smart and has a a crowd he can weigh in on everything.

The idea that a “network state” where an on-line community using NFTs as passports to sleep on each other’s couch would somehow be recognized by actual countries makes for a cool sci-fi plot (I’d read that!). But it has no place in reality.

Don’t accept it when organizations require you to sign up and hand over personal information to private and commercial third parties. Requiring Facebook is an active attempt at curbing participation.

Meh, recently a korean team was in the news for curing cancer. Reality is of course that they simulated a single protein in a precursor pathway… etc… which could possibly contribute into a future concept for a treatment against certain types of cancer.

Knowing medical affixes and suffixes will go a long way. Even medications will have some naming conventions. https://www.mometrix.com/academy/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Drug-Suffixes-Cheat-Sheet-Sorted-by-Drug-Type.pdf

Focusing on anatomy and physiology will help you understand not just what things are, but why they work. Technically you can use a stethoscope on someone’s neck to diagnose the cause of a sudden blind eye, but only if you understand the branches of the coratid artery.

“I don’t want to take any drugs to study better” Why is this even a thought? Why read for 3 hours after your shift? If you want to expand your nursing skills start there. Look into topics that you deal with everyday. Learn more about the commonly prescribed medications. Don’t worry about the more uncommon ones for now. Build on the stuff you already know, that will make learning easier, more interesting and more applicable in practice. Leave the rote memorization to overworked residents.

Look up nursing groups on-line or in your area, see what they have to say. Probly more skilled advice and experience to let you know what to focus on and what not.

I’m lucky enough to work in an academic care setting where initiative is appreciated, but your mileage may vary.

Good enough to contact one’s consumer organizations or government watchdogs.

From the BBC: “Mr Burke said the family were being helped on a pro-bono basis by an immigration lawyer who previously worked for ICE, as well as another legal advisor”

“She was visited by an ICE case officer at the centre on Tuesday, who told her that her “profile had gone up” and she will have to be “put on the priority list”, said her father”

“There are “positive signs” that a Welsh backpacker detained in a US immigration centre could be flying home in the coming days, her father has said.”

Sounds like enough material for a 3 hour youtube documentary

Car companies are short-sighted in general. During COVID they had cancelled their semiconductor orders. And when during the end of 2020 the factories were telling them to place their orders. They didn’t. Soon after all capacity was sold out for years and the industry had an enormous self-inflicted shortage of electronics.

“customs duties on electronic transmissions”

Is this really a thing? How would you ever enforce something like that?

Poland gave us Chopin, Marie Curie, kerosene, vodka and the Witcher 3/Cyberpunk 2077.
