  • Audiobooks and podcasts are great for me because I use them while running. I'm learning a ton about history lately, but sometimes it's nice to read a novel while exercising and obviously cannot hold a book.

    I'm sure video plays a similar role for a lot of people's use case. Particularly younger generations likely engage better with it due to ubiquitous presence as they grew up. Though that may have been bad for their attention spans with things like tik tok.

  • I find this interesting. By all accounts it seems it is unavoidable but to pay it back, so I am really curious how you plan to escape it. College prices are certainly predatory and this whole thing is awful, I just haven't seen a real solution for those suffering. It seems like the new slavery to me. Is there a viable escape?

  • If it's very effective for this strain, it might be like 90% effective at not getting it. But there are more strains that will have less effect. As others are saying, symptoms should be more mild if you do get it.

  • Make sure you take time to rest. I had a mild case last December and went back to work in the like 5 days they say. I ended up with long covid and I'm still not all the way better. Not resting is a big risk factor for long covid.

  • This is what I do. I canceled Netflix and got a special for a year of HBO for less than $100 if I recall correctly. So this year I have house of dragon, gilded age, Dr who, sopranos, and many random movies. It will take me a year to get through it.

    But I want to watch Star Trek. So next year I will give up my current selection and become a Trekkie with paramount+. Maybe the following year I will want star wars and grab Disney+.

    Really you don't need ALL the shows ALL the time. In fact, forced variation can be nice for discovering shows you hadn't considered when you run out of the one you were watching.

  • Disagree. It's not just the laws, but the public support that has me crazy here. My very Catholic coworker so fully supports the governor that when the Catholic Church came out against some of his stances, she said they were the ones in the wrong! Those stances being that it should not be illegal to give a ride to an immigrant as thats just being a good neighbor, and it's silly to expand the death penalty. Her daughter works for Disney too. She doesn't care. Guy could come in and take a shit on the floor and she would try to explain how that was the most moral thing he could do, and how refreshing it is to have a sensible governor.

    Her views are not abnormal here.

  • That sounds like AI. If you do your homework then even sitting in a regular exam you should score better than 20%. This exam being open book, it sounds like they were unfamiliar with the textbook and could not find answers fast enough.

  • We need different terms for people who HAVE a million dollars and people who MAKE a million per year. Lots of people will read this millionaire's tax and think it will apply to them when they are nearing retirement since they finally have a million dollars after saving all their life.

  • As someone who recently was wondering what my alternatives to Reddit were, then stumbling here recently, I think what we need is a good personality to do a 3 minute YouTube tutorial that gets out on Reddit.

    I still don't fully understand the difference between the two, but what I do know is encouraging. But it took effort to discover that difference. Reddit is apathetic. A three minute video may be short enough to get people to understand.

    Just needs to show what it looks like (similar to Reddit with sync and I'm sure others), then a brief description of how it differs under the hood, and then how to set up an account and subscribe to a community.

  • I like to help support the production of new stuff to watch. This was great with Netflix for awhile, but I didn't really like their shows lately, so I canceled them and got an HBO account. It will take me awhile to get through the shows there I want to watch. Then I will cancel and do another, either hulu or paramount or Disney, depending on shows.

    I feel like paying for one service is a fair amount still.

  • It's not as simple as that though. Just because it's legal in Florida for medical, doesn't mean that it's not potentially a problem. If you have a medical license for it and apply for a government job they will probably deny you. Since it's a right to work state, even if it isn't a government job if you fail a drug test they can still fire you.

  • All vaccines or just the new mRNA ones? I feel like it would be easy to mistrust them at first because of the rapidity they came to market (if iring previous mRNA research), and maybe the media played on that.

    If it's all vaccines that's just absolutely retarded for a doctor to fall victim to. Who wants polio back? He should have had extensive training on the older vaccines.

  • I think you are thinking of a chiropractor. DO's are legitimately the same as an MD in practice. My experience working in an office with two MDs and two DOs was the DOs tend to be more personable, and the MDs feel more book smart. But they both see the same patients and do the same job in the same office.

    And keep in mind my experience was just with 4 total people, so it could be just that office.
