They already are. My work benefits include a service where I can video chat with a NP any time and I don't have to wait as long for an appointment, which has been handy when I just need some quick advice or a prescription cream for my little ones. We have a family doctor and I love her but she typically books a few weeks out so I only make appointments with her for annual checkups and more serious talks that I can put off for a while.

The more reasonable christians out there who still believe that aren't dramatic enough for the headlines.

As someone who has two living IVF babies, 8 frozen embryos remaining, and is also Christian, this line struck a particularly strong chord:

"Nobody understands more that an embryo is not a child, than the person yearning for that embryo to be a child."

Yeah, I watched this a few days ago and also came away thinking it was one of the better episodes I've seen.

Have a 9 month old and am also concerned. At least I am on maternity leave until September and so he's not in daycare yet.

I work in construction and when I was younger and single I did a couple years ago a remote work site; two weeks on and one week off rotations. We all stayed in the company provided camp while there. Definitely formed some strong friendships with my coworkers while there and made/saved a ton of money. It was an interesting experience.

I was a field engineer but jobs in the trades are always in high demand pretty much everywhere.

I make butter chicken from sometimes but if I'm doing a "too lazy to cook" version it's with jarred sauce and leftover rotisserie chicken.

I work in construction and I don't know that I agree. They're digging a tunnel for a road, not mining, and earthworks crews generally consistent of equipment operators and labourers.

My dad has a gun licence (Canadian) and interestingly, he mentioned there was a place in the application where your spouse (and/or former spouse) must sign off on your application too. I can see how that might hinder a few violent exes.

I mean, if you're breastfeeding they do get like that sometimes, but the placement of the boobs so far apart is what weirds me out

This class did a big chunk of their highschool through the pandemic didn't they? I imagine they probably are a bit behind because of it.

All radiation (x-rays included), radio waves, and visible light are on the EM spectrum. It's just the wavelength that differentiates them.

The hormones really carry you through. Lol. And at least it's relatively short with a positive end goal.

In the last line of the article some restaurant person said "it's very popular with people and runs out within the first half hour" . . . but perhaps the general population isn't sure what to do with them yet, as much as the chefs do anyway.

Yeah, I can hardly believe people can be so terrible but it happens all the time. I hope this town starts to get the turnover it needs with new leadership.

Those poor kids; tired and hungry and stuck in that crappy situation.

Yeah, I know little of IT (as I'm a mech engineer, in construction) but find the story telling to be so good it's one of my favorite podcasts.

Yeah, this is probably the highest educated genre by necessity.
