  • There was also a large amount of money thrown at developing the vaccine because of the virus' significant economic impacts.

  • Recently played this on recommendation from a friend and it ended up on my top all time list. I'd highly recommend grabbing it a giving it a go at this price.

  • Agreed, but non-self reported ethics violations aren't often caught until after the decisions are made. It'd be quite tedious to background check every aspect of cases to make sure the judges and legal representatives have no potential conflicts. It is upon the individuals to do such a thing, but as in this case, that duty seems to be occasionally overlooked, whether nefarious or not.

  • I think it should be, especially in the legal profession where it's their job to think of these sorts of circumstances. As the legal professionals quoted in the article mention, the judge should've informed all parties of their ownership of a significant asset that could be impacted by the ruling (ie perceived conflict of interest), and recuse themselves if any party objects to that.

    As an engineer, we have a similar code that says we must notify any parties of potential or perceived conflicts of interest before starting work or at the first instance where it becomes known to the engineer. As such, it would be unethical to recommend developing land that I just happen to own, unless I clearly state that I own the land with potential to be developed before working on the project, and make clear justification of why that land is favourable to other locations. Even then, I might excuse myself from the project to completely avoid that potential conflict.

    I think this judge's actions are clearly unethical, and the ruling shouldn't stand unless another judge without conflict of interest rules the same.

  • As a Canadian, thank you for explaining. From the chart, I thought Americans in the middle states were just really bad with geography.

    (also you mean geographically, not geologically)

  • I'm not sure you understand what residency consists of. Family residents (at least in SK) already have rural rotations where they spend several months in one or more rural practices.

  • I believe one of the reasons for the extension is because there's a trend of residents not feeling fully prepared when entering practice after just two years. Family medicine is very complex. While specialists can be experts in their scope, family physicians need to know a bit of everything from every scope.

    I do agree that pay needs to increase, as access to primary care is the best preventative measure in patients needing the more expensive services less, and family doctors have considerable overhead costs compared to specialists. However, the more lucrative specialties often don't have jobs waiting at the end of them. Sure, you can take an ortho residency with dreams of the high life, but good luck actually finding a job afterwards.

    Simply adding a third year of residency would probably deter a few prospective doctors, but if primary care is given the resources respective of its preventative role, it would likely become a more popular discipline. This requires changes throughout the system, though. Yes, provinces have to pay more for services, but localities need to provide the supports to enable an increase of medical students and residents, including housing, and the hiring of doctors and staff to facilitate the learning. I've never once heard a family doctor say they'd like to work more hours in a week, yet some communities turn away physicians because they're "full". Recruiters need to first exist in the first place (thanks, SaskParty), but also understand the needs of their community so adequate service is available.

  • Thanks for the recommendation. I'll look into transitioning to Aegis. Regarding backups, you are able to have another device in case you lose your phone (I also have Authy on my laptop in case that does happen), but the data breach you mentioned said that may have been a weak point. Either way, I'm going to explore Aegis now.

  • I ask my neighbours this and still don't understand.

  • If your issue is with the authenticator, then why not just switch authenticators? I've been quite happy with Authy over the years.

    Sure, self hosting can be more secure, but if it's not on your own hardware, I don't see how moving to render is better. You're still using a third party to host your most sensitive information.

  • Yes, I just started with it and had to look this up. You can create different users too. To imprort subs you'll have to do a Google Takeout export, then import that CSV under Settings>Data Settings.

    The FAQ has a nice step by step guide.

  • I must say, you're really living up to your username.

    Mirena, the IUD the original joke is based on, releases levonorgestrel, a progestin, which is a hormone, in the uterus over five years.

  • Not medical advice, but when I can tell it's getting full in there, I pour 50% diluted hydrogen peroxide (just use the cap of the bottle) in my ear, let it bubble away for 5 minutes or so, then use a bulb syringe thing with warm water to flush it out til it's clean. Be careful with pressure and temperature of the water, but it works great.

  • I could see it being tedious if you had to manually enter long, random string passwords regularly. Though I suppose you could change them to something easier to type. Ctrl+shift+L (bitwarden extension autofill shortcut) is just so much more convenient.

  • Also a happy customer of Nebula here. I've come across some pretty interesting content on there.

  • Yes, IUDs are hormonal and don't act as a physical barrier themselves. However, with the hormonal mechanisms, they thicken the cervical mucus, which does serve to block sperm from entering. Perhaps it would be best for you to learn a little bit more about contraception.
