I honestly wonder if sortition is actually the answer.

What do these diagnoses have to do with learning? In my experience, these conditions can manifest in many different ways for people.

At the hospital I worked at there were no transmissions of COVID from known infected patients to providers wearing N95 masks (at least in the first 2 years, I didn’t keep up with it after that). So if you are wearing N95s you should feel quite confident that you are protecting yourselves without requiring behavior modifications from anyone else.

This was a really nice tech review! I think she took a sensible approach and didn’t bog it down with advertisements for new features no one cares about.

I live in the US and me and all my friends pronounce SNES as SNess. (And NES as Ness) for what it is worth. It seems to be somewhat common as my friends who grew up on the other side of the country say it this way too.

I do not think it is appropriate to talk about any details, but something somewhat adjacent to this is that a lot of my colleagues didn’t go into pediatrics because they hate dealing with parents.

Switched to smart mobas, I assume?

I have met multiple people from across the USA who specifically learned about “the fertile silt of the Nile river delta.”

When I lived in Seattle I met a few good running friends by joining a Green Lake running group. I lived in the Greenwood/Fremont area and found a group through the Super Jock and Jill or Fleet Feet. I would go to the running gear stores and ask about a weekly running group.

Brave New World

I was going to say the EXACT same thing. People even are refusing the vitamin K shot in their newborns

This is a quite delayed response, but it was essentially your second question. I went with friends who watched a lot of the MCU movies and they were trying to explain everything to me in real time. I eventually just asked them to save their breath because the backstory was so long. I did enjoy the spectacle of the movie, though the impact was lost on me.

I only saw Endgame and I thought it was okay. So I would say it’s my least favorite and that’s because it’s the only one I’ve seen. I guess it’s also my favorite.

Jimi Hendrix’s All Along the Watchtower

This ain’t short king energy

In medicine I was taught a number of times that diverse addiction disorders are largely defined one thing: persistence of a behavior despite negative consequences. An addendum is difficulty in cessation of the behavior.

More or less

All in a day’s work!

Okay, but what about people who have jobs where you really cannot tolerate a 1 hour wake up window? I hope you can realize you are in a privileged position to be able to have this kind of schedule and that this is really not possible for the vast majority of people.

Trazadone?
