those are good articles (the top 25) but the site has a left liberal bias which shows only censorship from the right. I have followed https://ground.news/ for a while which shows stories missed in what are classified as rig

good luck - I really feel for you and know others who have struggled with similar job search frustrations... I lost a position over a year ago and found myself scrambling for a new role as an older person in tech. I thought of a few things

Are these devices (Free Style Libre) safe for contact sports? I wanted to wear one and even got a scrip for one as i am pre-diabetic. I do BJJ 4x a week and am concerned about the device on the arm getting dislodged or broken. I thought abo

Really beautiful site. Made my morning. I wear mechanical watches on a daily basis (I rotate between a few Maratec/CountyComm models) I like the size, weight and the sound and the feeling of the counter weight moving around. And the fe

came here looking for this comment as its one of those minor peeves - duck tape is from WWII era and is a water resistant cotton tape - modern home depot duct tape is a plasticky, sticky all, purpose fastening tape (not so good for sealing

There is a chess training program called "Dr Wolf" which has a learning mode where you play the computer. At certain points it asks you to switch positions to see the weakness in your previous move - it is striking how effective t

that is a very memorable incident - not least for the number of lives lost. I am not sure if it was deference as much as reverting to a native speech pattern in a critical moment. "We are at takeoff" is what the pilot said and a n

some years back I worked on a project with Korean Air on exactly that topic, cockpit communication and honorifics... A compounding factor was that pilots and crew often came from military backgrounds. I learned about a number of air disaste

so funny you mention the vaseline impregnated gauze. I have had more than one instructor say the best thing to use as a chest seal is the wrapper itself. Vaseline sucks to try and tape down. The metallic shiny wrapper it comes in makes a ni

The civilian version of this class us called TECC (in the US) i took it last october- quite good. It is an adaptation of the military TCCC “combat casualty“ class. Thus class was specifically for EMTs and Paramedics but there us a more gen

Beautiful. I think about this living on the Hudson across from NYC. Not only the Statue but other riverside details like the vent systems for the tunnels and the Hoboken train station are copper covered and thus verdigris colored. In the ge

yes - bad joke in the vein of "male sex" - the categories are sloppily generated in the WHO example. But you are right - the sinks are in short supply...

There is a lot of confusion about PPE and disinfecting. People wear surgical masks thinking they are making themselves safe - which they arent. I think also people use magical thinking with disinfectants. I remember one EMT call where my pa

thought the same thing - men not washing hands after nookie? And whats this about sinks being too short? Distractingly crappy data categories.

I would be really interested in reading a article on "why doctors don't wash their hands" but this ain't it. Interesting stuff on Seimmelweis but otherwise fluff. I am an EMT and was on a particularly bloody call and not

BJJ and a Wim Hof demonstration have taught me a lot about stress management and breathing. I do some of the exercises daily like hot to cold shower (wakes up the parasympathetic response). Interesting topic - a bit of a gloss by NPR though
