What is something tuat has given you hope for humanity?
  • My spouse and the many others sticking with their careers after being oncology ICU nurses during the worst of the pandemic. They know it’s a thankless job and they’re treated like shit, the healthcare system is a disaster, families and patients scream at them and attack them, the job certainly isn’t about money, it puts your physical and mental health at risk, but they’ll do it anyway for that one person who gets to ring the bell and say their cancer is no longer detectable.

  • To Americans: How far apart is everything in the US?
  • I could easily walk to a grocery store in 10 minutes; however, there’s no sidewalks, no streetlights if it was dark, and I’d have to cross a road with a speed limit of 55mph. On the way I’d pass a gun store, so maybe I could pick one up and pop off a couple rounds into the air to make a temporary crosswalk.

  • Trump Shows Signs of Strength in Sun Belt Battlegrounds, Polls Find
  • The NYT has its place. NYT polls are crap. Political coverage? Crap. Timely news coverage? Crap. The occasional long-form piece about an obscure musicology journal with only about three dozen subscribers worldwide that’s experiencing some crazy infighting? Stellar.

  • What electric toothbrushes do you guys use?
  • No need for the internet, all electronic toothbrushes have been compromised. They use ultrasonic tooth mapping technology to direct a miniature version of Havana Syndrome where we least expect it, causing the terrible affliction known as… gingivitis

  • What small tiny app have you found that not many people know about
  • For iOS/mac, I love the Vinegar extension. It’s great for stripping YouTube down to just the video, provided you use Safari instead of the YouTube app. It also regularly updates. Yes, I know there are free ways to do this (it’s $1.99), but this is more about convenience and supporting a dev.

  • US health system ranks last compared with peer nations, report finds
  • My insurance bumped up the copay on primary care to make it less affordable than an urgent care visit, incentivizing us to get care with immense surcharges. But at least we can get a same-day appointment instead of waiting a month or two to see the most qualified and familiar person with our conditions. Fuck capitalism, as usual.
