So glad someone else made the connection. This movie FUCKED me up for real

Having lived in a place where winter means everything gets blanketed in snow, I find there's not much novelty to the NZ winter :(

We're in the surface ecosystem where I work and the performance is abysmal. Granted we're at 8gb ram on our standard models so not much to go off but it's a super heavy application for what it's doing

This is a good point, residency capacity would have to be increased to accommodate more medical students.

My understanding is that yes, there is the demand. The issue is money, Auckland and Otago want the money that would go to a new med school to instead increase their own capacity. Opening a new med school is certainly expensive but is a better solution in the long run, in my opinion.

Keeping the doctors is the other side of the coin, to which I don't have a great answer other than, unfortunately, more money.

No national fan but this might be the only decent ideas to come out of this party imo. Not enough for me to vote for them but man I wish labour would stop letting Auckland and Otago bullshit their way through securing their duopoly at the expense of our countries medical system.

Of course, the plan to fund a new medical school is sketchy at best. Medicine is obviously underfunded already, perhaps I'd hear an argument that the money would be better spent increasing wages for our existing doctors. That said, I'm of the opinion a new medical school couldn't hurt us.

From discussion I've heard by my gen z friends I'm pretty sure apple could sell almost anything and people will buy it and claim it's the best thing ever. Airpods are treated as jewelery at this point. I will say their phones are decent products but they're way too locked down for me to ever own one. Great for my parents etc who want something simple

Wait it's a panel? I thought it was some weird seethrough glass but I guess I didn't think very hard about how that would work.

REAL HOOD PIECES

Part of me, and I think everyone else here, wants some level of vindication in the form of Reddit taking a hit. Likely most of the current users won't notice any big changes and most of it will be back to the content they're used to in a few months. But as someone else here pointed out it's likely Reddit will survive as Facebook has, shitty recycled content from other platforms and zero decent discussion. Which again, 90% of their current user base won't notice or care about. I'm just glad we've got a new place where the discussion seems to be a bit more on par with old Reddit

I knew it was over when my feed was plastered with various subreddits for food delivery workers

Forgive my ignorance but if you federate an instance, does that instance have to federate you back? In order for you to comment/upvote/see posts etc?

It's a cool story but not entirely true

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientist

Whewell proposed the word again more seriously (and not anonymously) in his 1840[31] The Philosophy of the Inductive Sciences:

The terminations ize (rather than ise), ism, and ist, are applied to words of all origins: thus we have to pulverize, to colonize, Witticism, Heathenism, Journalist, Tobacconist. Hence we may make such words when they are wanted. As we cannot use physician for a cultivator of physics, I have called him a Physicist. We need very much a name to describe a cultivator of science in general. I should incline to call him a Scientist. Thus we might say, that as an Artist is a Musician, Painter, or Poet, a Scientist is a Mathematician, Physicist, or Naturalist.
