Kage520,

My sister is a nurse. Hospitals are constantly trying to put more and more workload per nurse than is feasible/safe. That sounds like it’s to your point, but it isn’t really. My sister was making like $25 per hour before covid. Her job was to take care of NICU babies. For $25 per hour, with a degree and a fair amount of student loan debt. And they keep adding responsibilities and assume they will work overtime “for the babies”.

Why would anyone want to go to school to get into an underpaid field where literal babies’ lives are constantly in your hands, and the hospital is trying their hardest to decrease their nursing payout by decreasing nursing staff?

We need regulation. Nurses are quitting the field because they cannot handle the stress and the pay certainly isn’t worth it.

I think that’s incorrect. Not against the honey, but the reasoning. I think it can harbor anaerobic bacteria which the child’s immune system is not ready to handle.

Guys! Someone did something minimally good. Let’s make sure to insult him for it so he researches how to avoid it next time.

Dude I remember that day Jesus rose from the dead. Crazy day. It was… was it Wednesday? I’m not sure. No wait it was definitely Sunday. The first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox. Yeah that’s when it was. Who could forget that?

Wait what? If Trump walks down 5th avenue and shoots someone, should we blame the gun manufacturer?

I am terrible at lucid dreaming. Gave up after having only a few successful times. My experience though is, anything too far outside your normal real experiences will cause you to wake up.

I tried breathing underwater for a couple lucid dreams. I woke up before I would have inhaled water in the dream. I got scuba certified before my next attempt, and all the sudden, I was able to breathe underwater in my dreams.

Kind of disappointing. If I can’t break the rules of life in my dreams what’s the point of lucid dreaming? Maybe once VR gets good enough it can bridge the gap and give me close enough experiences that I can replicate them in dreams.

What I’m wondering is, we have made strides to synthetically make milk with the use of yeast to make the proteins. So theoretically, we could make any milk. Why are we making cows milk this way?

Kage520,

Isn’t that standard time?

I’ve heard that argument before, but really if it’s an issue, just change the school hours. I had to get up and go to school in the dark as a child and really, I was so sleepy the first few classes they were wasted on me anyways.

Floridian here. Wtf we finally do something right and vote to stay on DST year round and Congress won’t let it happen? It’s been YEARS that it’s been on the table with Congress. I will give them an excuse for not getting any work done on Hang Mike Pence day, but really this is getting a bit annoying.

What I like about console is the same as why a lot of people like apple: it just works. I have a PC for games that are not on console (eg flight simulator in VR), but for gaming, I just want to be on my couch and turn on the game. No drivers need updating (though game updates are annoying, I can usually delay them, and I can’t mess them up), no “whoops now the sound doesn’t work because I updated something for another game”.

Kage520,

I think the Big Mac index is a somewhat good measure of buying power since it has to source so many local ingredients.

Kage520,

Phrasing? Are we still doing phrasing?

Kage520,

We’ve had first Lord of the Rings, yes, but what about second Lord of the Rings?

Kage520,

If you liked Super Metroid and emulate games, look into Hyper Metroid. Someone modded the game and remade it entirely and it’s great!
