I’ll bet there is a website that calculates this stuff…

There is. Have fun!

They’re talking about the money. It’s the income that’s renewable, not the company.

This was an interesting read, but I’ve got stuff to do today, so I skipped the 90 minute video on their “outrageously ambitious mission”. Anyone care to summarize?

I just learned this yesterday, and still can’t believe it. How can it not support hashtags? How do you find anything? Do they plan on supporting hashtags in the future, or are they on some kind of idiotic anti-hashtag crusade?

This is by far my favorite answer.

None! I just know it’s tough and a huge responsibility.

I’m American. I’m allowed to make dark jokes about how screwed up our society is.

If I knew the first thing about programming, I’d write a bot that replied “nice tits” randomly to your comments.

A doctor! You compliment me, sir. My family would be so proud!

Nah, I’ve just been a patient a few times, and think that people should do the job that they’ve agreed to do, especially when lives are at stake. I agree with you completely.

Yeah, I am salty. Some nurses are antivaxxers, ffs. People look to them for their “expertise”, but nurses often have little or no medical education, and some don’t even accept proven medical science. I have no doubt that a few nurses have helped kill people, by reinforcing their bad decisions and ignorance.

If a nurse knows more about a patient than a doctor, then have a conversation with the doctor. Don’t just roll your eyes and let the doctor keep making decisions that aren’t helping the patient. A lot of hospital accidents happen because of poor communication. Don’t perpetuate the problem.

Yeah, the healthcare-for-profit system is fucked. That doesn’t address the core issue, though, which is a nurse giving themselves permission to ignore management/experts and do their job poorly.

Manager’s and a group of doctor’s POV: you are a nurse and it’s your job and duty to do that.

They’re completely right. If you disagree strongly enough, the only honorable thing you can do is quit. You are not making any kind of statement, or being “rebellious”, by insisting on doing a half-assed job. You’re simply being dishonest and providing inadequate care.

Nurses are overworked and spread too thin, but that’s not something your current behavior will fix, or even protest.

Plus, we know better than him what’s good for him.

They should. That’s their job, and what they went to school for. It is not a nurse’s place to override their decisions (except in emergencies, of course). That’s what you signed up for when you took the job. Hell, listening to your manager is a basic requirement of most jobs, healthcare or otherwise. That’s Employment 101.

Patients are often stubborn, ignorant, and it’s possible that several of them wouldn’t be in the hospital in the first place if they took their health seriously.

If you take someone’s autonomy so seriously that you’re willing to respect and tolerate their “bad choices”, that’s perfectly fine, but nursing is by no means the right job for you. It’s not the mindset that upsets me - it’s that you’re working in the worst, least compatible field possible. I hope you’re able to find something else soon.

I’d feel like such an asshole driving one of these things. If someone gave me one for free, I wouldn’t even want to park it in front of my house.

Yay. Another fork.

No apologies necessary. Y’all have been working overtime to get things back in order, and I appreciate it!

I had no idea this actually existed! Cool!

Watchmen - holy shit. I decided almost on a whim that I’d give it a try and I was totally unprepared for the awesomeness. It took a few episodes to kick in, but once it did, I was like OH MY GOD THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS I’VE EVER SEEN WHY DID IT ONLY GET ONE SEASON THIS IS A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY

Lol I didn’t know Emojipedia existed. Might be amusing. Thanks!

This isn’t a terrible idea like I initially thought. Permanently attach a heavy counterweight to the base of the overbed table and it’ll be more stable.

I’m hoping OP will be able to find an overbed table for situations where sliding the base under the bed isn’t possible. They can’t be the first person in the world with this problem.

Those are indeed good reasons, but there’s so much other content that doesn’t scale, like charts, graphs, and maps. If I was running a large media company, I’d rather use high-resolution screenshots than let the Muskrat alter the content of my stories.

Let him sue. I’d rather go to court than let that jackass undermine journalistic integrity.
