to learn a lot of things systematically: medicines (not the brand names, but the active components, because doctors where I work use components extensively)

It seems OP is aware of this.

“after a bystander broke a window with a tree branch” Ah yes, the bulletproof windows that could double as submergible windows for an unspecified amount of time at an unspecified depth.

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.

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.

They want to catch Kingcrabs in Alaska?

Keanu Reeve’s voice acting is pretty sub-par most of the time. And even in Phantom Liberty, especially in the beginning Female V (played by Cherami Leigh) sounded a bit off, as if she needed to find V’s voice again after how much time was in between the main game and the DLC. But other than that I have to agree, top-notch work. Made in Poland ;)

As a total aside: The baader-meinhof phenomenon at play. Just yesterday I was talking about Lain Banks because his work was quoted in a video game. And here he shows up again.

And then Trump will rescind the ADA and disability benefits so those unable to (fully) work will become homeless and destitute and die from exposure or police brutality.

Just look at how ppl use their smart speakers. They ask it to set timers or ask for the weather. AI will be the norm once the benefit is obvious to everyone. When I can trust my AI with my credit card info and allow it to purchase stuff for me. Right now AI is basically a self-organizing dictionary which is often confidently incorrect. Not once has GPT told me it didn’t know something.

Sure, but poverty is a lack of money. The inability to sustain oneself healthily. Once you have “sufficient” money, having even more won’t make you happier.

For me the voice is what matters. Male Commander Shepard, Female V.

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.

Just look at Smart Speakers. Basically the early AI at home. People just used them to set timers and ask about the weather. Even though it was capable of much more. Google and others were unable to monetize them for this reason and have mostly given up. (Protip: if you have a google speaker and kids, ask about the animal of the day. It’s an addition during COVID times for kids learning at home.)

But people also aren’t used to AI yet. Most will still google for something, some already skip that step and have ChatGPT search and summarize. I would not be surprised if the internet of the future is just plain text files for the AI agents to scrape.

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.”

The Talos Principle A community who share book tips on existential philosophy and the meaning of life. A theme in the game.

That’s all technically correct. That’s how it works in a lot countries, Europe included. But that’s not how it feels, or what people think is going on. They’re paying into a system that is going to benefit them. Even if what they receive is derived from future taxes on other people. They contributed to the system, therefore they are also entitled to benefit from it.

Nothing touches my library that wasn’t discounted 60% or more. I’ll see you on the Christmas of 2030 Ghosts of Tsushima!
