Zaphod would be quite happy.

I'm slowly recovering from 4 moves in the last 4 months (and a tiny bit of homelessness). My lease expired and rent was raised too much for me to justify staying where I was. Thought I was moving into a mutually beneficial situation

Betting someone will kill themselves or go to prison is far from constructive, and is triggering to many. Go to prison is one thing. Suicide is another. It's not a joke. EDIT: Suicide is something that's hit personally lately -

Funny enough, not a nurse, but took over a 2 year "sabbatical" to do COVID testing and Vaccination. As someone who is used to making design decisions on an EHR in previous consulting engagements, it was beyond enlightening to see

Can confirm - did once for my 100th jump, and once on a birthday. Nothing quite like naked skydiving.

I'm curious as to why you think the planes should be fixed, but "that's kind of not the point"? It seems to me that it's pretty far out of the frequency boundaries.

Perhaps a bad photo or low quality? The one I tested was highly compressed and far from original resolution and scored quite high. Very interested in the dataset though.

Not sure how reliable it is - although I put up one of my more favorite pictures I've shot and it earned a 7.98 and was better than 97% of photos uploaded... Interesting stuff. Could you link to the AVA dataset?

There are various types of PCR tests - I suspect you are referring to a Nasopharyngeal swab - which goes from tip of the nose to base of the ear (and it much smaller than a long Q-Tip) vs a nasal swab that usually gets both nostrils and doe

Going back to COVID testing for a bit before I jump back into my technical side. There is some serious need, and I have a good amount of experience last year. It's now been a 2 year swap toward volunteering and medical work. Never e

I so want to respond with Orbital lyrics... but this is a very good point.

I am not. I reported something and was fired the next day. I was also wearing a PAPR (N100 Powered Air Purifying Resperator) for the time I was doing testing. Though I was in close contact with many infected patients, I was also in prett

I put myself out there as a frontline healthcare worker and was vaccinated prior to Christmas. My second dose fell before the 1/20 time frame by over a week. It was a one-off thing for me - trying to help - did COVID testing and vacci

Just a note - the link to the position is broken, and I'm not able to find the position on your careers page.

Some are - at least most doing COVID Vaccination administration are people that I can personally say are using "lots" of hand sanitizer each day. (yes, my hands still hurt)

This was a reason I inadvertently got some previous co-workers over-excited about a feature (only to find it was only in the betas I happened to be running). Still remember having to break it to the first person who really wanted to enable

Will be actively doing testing, and will likely be among the first wave of "guinea pigs". Still going to take it, unless science says otherwise at that moment. There's a lot to be said for taking this more seriously than th

If anyone has suggestions that work in the current COVID world - it would help. Attending regular gatherings just isn't a thing anymore that I'm seeing. Meeting new people when many generally try to stay away from others outside

While I certainly don't have all the answers, I have met with the founder, and am happy to connect anyone to someone who does. I will answer any questions that I personally can, however.

One of the most hard-hitting movies for me lately: Wheels (2014)[1] - Especially after spending a decent amount of the last year in a wheelchair. [1]: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2170667/

Volunteering at our homeless shelter doing health assessments and triage was certainly much better than sitting at home watching TV and worrying more. Many of my prospects disappeared as COVID hit - and it made me feel some self worth tryin

My comment said it's not an option. And yes I would sacrifice said things right now. but again - not an option.

Not an option, and boy do I wish it was.

While I may question their reasoning, I respect them for putting it out there. Ultimately totally turned off to this based on the elitism crap. I did enjoy the article quite a bit though.

Sometimes writing this helps for me as well. I'm truly glad it cleared your mind a bit. Please don't ever consider suicide seriously. It's not a way out - but a way to hurt many more than you will ever realize. I've a

My lease will end without the option for renewing because the apartment was rented out from under me sight-unseen. I'm fully paid up on rent. I was never given notice or the ability to renew said lease. This isn't just "It

Any suggestions for doing so would be helpful to me (and hopefully the OP). If you have any specific ideas, please reply. When you don't have a small group of people to begin with, this is really difficult advice to follow

Please hang in there. You aren't the only one in a similar situation. Reach out (you can find me) - even if someone to talk to. I still try hard to remain confident we'll all get through this.
