You’re right, we should be cutting out the bloated middleman entirely.

This is a good step in the right direction, but I’d like to see it applied to commercial plans as well. Prior authorization is everything they’re saying it is and worse.

Haha, you’re too kind. I’m just trying to do my part to help grow this place!

Originally saw this posted by The Picard Maneuver. I can’t figure out how to tag him on Voyager.

Don’t worry, I’m here too!

Also, I’ve mentioned it elsewhere, but might as well say here too: Anything I post to Lemmy (including stuff I’ve made) is totally fair game to post/repost/share anywhere you’d like. I love seeing content spread around the fediverse.

Hey, power that thing down!

I don’t know if anime counts, but the Psycho-Pass “Dominator” is a really cool science fiction concept in itself.

I’m not a nurse, but I think the way you’re charting is the correct way to protect your license. If they’re A&Ox4 then there’s probably not a legal/regulatory reason to sit and watch them, but it’s also probably not out of bounds for hospital policy to require staff to observe and confirm any intervention (including meds) provided while under their care.

Now, whether they’re going to take into account how much cumulative time/work that adds to the nurses and then staff accordingly is another story… (Hint: they won’t)

I love that Larson could make this joke with or without the twist on Mary Had A Little Lamb.

Like, it would feel just as much a Far Side comic if her name were Nancy and she had been followed by a duck.

My wife was the one who showed it to me… She asked “Is this how you live??”

There are a lot of crossover symptoms between sleep disorders and ADHD, but also, yeah - Ritalin is one of the top medications for treating ADHD too.

Ooh, I’ll check this in a little bit this morning!

Thanks for the ping! This could be interesting…

And the Uvalde shooter crashed his truck on the way.

It’s interesting how often in stories like this where someone is doing something extremely violent or antisocial (the clinical definition of the term, not “asocial”), it begins with a car crash.

It paints a picture of someone who’s being manic, impulsive, and has shut their mind off to long term consequences.

Btw, in Linux, everything is a file.

This sounds cool. Do I also understand right that file extensions aren’t anything more than the file name?

I can also conceptually appreciate the input/output/error piece, although I bet it’ll make more sense when I find a use case for it eventually. Thanks!

I’d welcome any beginner tips you have!

I have Linux installed on a raspberry pi, using “Pi OS”, which I understand to be some form of Debian? I’ve learned enough to comfortably SSH into it and navigate around my file system, as well as write some really basic Python programs for the pi using nano.

I’ve only been at it casually for a few weeks, so that’s about the extent of my knowledge.

Lol, sorry to disappoint, but no I don’t.

I also don’t use Linux. (Well, that’s not totally true now, because I’ve been learning to use for a hobby project lately).
