Book I found interesting and informative maybe 10 years ago now.

"students have failed to grasp basic concepts about Australian democracy and institutions"
Children learn from examples. Have they been shown good examples to learn from?

Bricks mentioned already but also note that many brick veneer homes have a timber frame, which might be fine if you can keep the fire out, but if not...

Feels more like that was just a symptom though.

So technically "more" should be reserved for continuous comparison and the discrete version should be "manyer".

No more surprising than the idea that people will keep happily inspiring airborne vasculitis until it personally affects them and even then they will go howling back to normal thinking that infection-derived immunity will fix it.

Trouble is, 5 years later is a different administration so everything just starts over.

The decision is at times difficult to make but sometimes we just chart morphine midazolam haloperidol glycopyrrolate.

Survivorship bias.

Seems like the word "overly" was the bait.

I hate crowds and I hate sunburn, so I just take the kids out there when it's raining. Literally nobody else there so don't even have to worry about masks, and carrying an umbrella to keep the sun or the rain off is the same anyway.

Live is better thank you. Loved the Powerhouse Museum exhibit where you could ride a bicycle and power the front of an ambulance. Better than lying in the back receiving the electricity instead. Sadly hadn't visited for ages before they closed for indefinite revitalisation.

In hospitals out this part of Sydney we've seen Engineering Services do this kind of stuff.

Note of course that the purifiers they showed in pictures of Victorian hospitals are rated at 90 W on maximum fan setting, and a laptop (which generally goes in unquestioned) can easily draw 120 W.

Exactly, why should they, it's just another accessory that those weird apes put on their skin like clothes, costumes, colours.

To be honest I do think this from time to time not saying it out loud, because like those articles said, the masks do really make (most?) people look better.
I am a bad person.

That said, guilty here of running the car AC to keep the toddler cool while out with the family completing CADLs and not really wanting to take them into big crowds or enclosed spaces.

Also someone who was genuinely curious would also think of ways to find or make a control group, even perhaps try to implement those.

Often didn't get a chance to eat during shifts anyway but now I just have intermittent fasting locked in. Get plenty dehydrated though.

No way! Everyone knows that a randomised controlled trial is stronger evidence than physical laws or even mathematical proof, and you only need that level of evidence to show that protective measures work.

We found that you can pull straps tighter under the staples, but we just leave the lower one loose anyway as it doesn't seem to significantly visibly affect fit (without formal testing) and 3 year old really didn't like it tight.

You say not a financial expert but as an interested observer isn't this literally Economics 101? If a government incentivises demand while failing to do similarly for supply, what happens to prices?

Given they just looked at varroa for a year or so and then simply gave up, that doesn't bode well.

Have wondered why we don't use templates for patients who are waiting in emergency, to fill out their relevant information, both to help with taking history and to ease the boredom of sitting around for hours.

They want to force the disadvantaged population to evolve, but not business practices to evolve, it's long been the way.

Wait so the trolls are trying to tell everyone that this platform is an echo chamber, but anyone who stays on the other place and doesn't toe the line is restricted so that you can only find them if you're looking for them, and that's not an echo chamber?

It's malicious and intended, not so much ironic.

Exactly. The value of a social medium is the participants.

"Klebsiella pneumoniae was responsible for 48% of CLABSI, followed by Coagulase-negative Staphylococci (16%) and Staphylococcus aureus and Acinetobacter baumannii (12% each)."
The most common are Klebsiella pneumoniae? Doesn't sound like something from a skin source...

Wonder if they'll revisit all the CLAB/CLABSI stuff now; they had the biggest packs imaginable, so much stuff going in the bin.

Oh yeah the extended family used to use those, packed away for a while but they certainly would come in handy in a pinch. Will have to keep it in mind.
comment in response to
post
Yeah we'd probably have given up if it lasted more than a day, and run off to family far enough away to still be powered. Decided to get a portable battery after that, which is also nice for keeping devices running on longer day trips.

Seems like a mostly-already-solved problem just needing the will to do things differently to "normal" and use a bit of creativity. Where I was we had tents / gazebos which worked pretty well, just a bit chilly in winter and warm in summer.

Oh yes we discovered the unexpected benefits and shortcomings of having gas rather than a full electric home, cold showers because no spark ignition for hot water, but surprisingly 30-year-old matchsticks still struck up to get the stove going. No exhaust fan so decided to get takeaway anyway.

It was a weird experience since growing up in the age when you'd lose all the work you did in the morning to a blackout, but the kids probably won't have that feeling, just like how they'd find the idea of dialling into the landline for internet to be absurd.

Even without household batteries the individual device batteries have got to the stage where they can smooth out quite big disruptions. It was puzzling the first time when the lights went out but everything else just kept working (on the computer + internet).

Then this www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11... ... whatever happened to just admitting to not knowing something, and promising to find out?

Surely that should be just a continuous reminder.

I still wonder why medical decisions are held to the informed consent standard, and yet decisions on governance of a country are held to the age > 16 standard.

Acknowledging that they can get plenty of things correct, I would be very cautious in getting information from that particular series of textbooks. My students and I reviewed them some years back and they were packed full of errors and misleading statements.

In contrast the internet was covered with all these scale-distorted feel-good schematics. Health system capacity half of the wave peak? Paradise.
