Ok. I’m also not crazy.
My hairline has started receding very rapidly. There’s there’s these fine hairs all over my desk, and I see the photo I took when joining directly before turning on my camera every meeting.
I do. I also have a PhD from a medical school. That’s why I know if eating less milk were the best solution for this individual, they would have said that.
Managing parents’ anxieties is a major part of being a pediatrician. You don’t suggest things that might scare parents when they are not necessary.
Be nice.
Jesus Christ. Just be nice.
Why is no one on Lemmy nice.
Again, who is saying that? I don’t find janitorial duty shameful neither do I find sanitation engineer shameful. That’s you
I guess you’d also rather be called butcher or barber than surgeon?
After all, rebranding implies you’re ashamed.
My bologna has a first name…

Tell me about it…
I left my more mature company for a startup.
I feel like Tyler Durden sometimes.
A more standard definition in my tenure in academia is that scientists solve problems because they want to know the answer. Engineers solve problems because they want the problem to be solved.
In any case, the difference is just, heh, academic.
I’m very much the latter.
Who is saying that?
There’s too much virtue signaling here. No engineer thinks poorly of the trades. That’s the point of the conversation.
I just made a joke about how burger flippers can be called engineers, and I have a PhD.
Agreed.
I might also argue that those people are all still engineers.
Engineer just means “problem solver”. Everyone gets paid for solving problems.
The real question in my head is how far does this go?
Sometimes the problem is that these burgers need flipping. Protein disk translocation engineers? I’m cool with that.
The doctor is unable to stop them from their behavior.
Imagine yourself as a doctor. The patient has the plague. You say, “Take this antibiotic. It will go away.” They say, “We prefer quarantine and chicken noodle soup”.
Do you say ok? Or do you admonish them and risk they get angry and do nothing? Or do you say, that is better than nothing. It is their body.
The only ethical behavior for a physician in this situation is to say, “sure, try dietary modifications”.
They were trying to prevent long term brain development issues by resolving the anemia the fastest evidence-based way, but the patient refused expert advice.
I always thought about going to be a farmer. Then I watched some videos from farmers and realized they are also engineers.
A large faction of engineers, especially software-type engineers, have these types of hobbies.
I’m sitting here right beside the heirloom quality (compared to most furniture) coffee table I made in my garage with my nearly complete wood shop.
I make stuff in two ways in my day job. I design something and someone else makes it, or it’s just some idea as software.
Engineers are a type. We’re just wired differently from most other people.
I mean, I would’ve thought that story was false, but this makes me rethink that.
Every denial from him is a confession.
Not only do we know from early on that trump has as small penis but that he’s insecure about it.
Can you imagine it? The president of the United States, arguably the most powerful and effectual person in the whole world, is so mentally unwell that he is insecure about the size of his penis?
That is what I said. The doctor would only have suggested meds if it were necessary.
You should change your thought process and listen to the experts.
They also would have recommended dietary changes if they actually were applicable. It is this kind of belief that leads to increased harm and is solely the reason why so many children are being harmed and killed by extremely preventable causes.
I’m not accusing you of being someone as heinous as an antivaxxer, but this is the thought process that leads people down that path.
I forgot about Reince Priebus.
Why are all the people he works with so stereotypically evil?
It’s just modeling humans. I was only a lab TA for two semesters, and I caught so many fake data sets.
