Referrals are electronic for those running a modern EMR, like Epic. The systems exist, it’s up to both sides to implement them.

Survivorship Bias

Theres a rule that no one follows on the roads, when turning right (or left for that matter) you come to a complete stop and then proceed. This applies even if there is no stop sign or the light is solid green.

Can you cite this law? I’ve never heard of this. You have to yield to pedestrians, but coming to a complete stop for a right on green seems excessive. I’ve not once seen this, nor heard this is how it’s supposed to work. Right on red, sure. Same with left on green, why would you come to a complete stop and potentially get rear-ended?

Found this article which says it’s not true in Canada:

This is the single issue that has kept me away from Linux for the past 15 or so years. I always get to the “install GPU drivers” step, completely fuck it up somehow, read things online for a few hours, get frustrated, and return to Windows/macOS until I try the experiment again in another 3-5 years. I’m about due to give it another shot.

How so?

I use Firefox most of the time, but if I really need to stretch the battery life I’ll use Safari. It seems significantly faster and more power efficient than anything else I’ve used. If it had better plugin support, it’d be my daily driver. Can’t say I’ve ever had issues with it rendering a page.

Where’s anyone saying it’s worthless? That’s not in the article nor in these comments.

The issue is how it’s being used. It’s not being used to detect cancer. It’s being used for “efficiency”, which means more patients being seen by fewer nurses. It’s furthering the goals of the business majors in hospital administration, not the nurses or doctors who are caring for the patient.

NoScript is redundant with uBlock medium mode.

Roughly similar to using Adblock Plus with many filter lists + NoScript with 1st-party scripts/frames automatically trusted. Unlike NoScript however, you can easily point-and-click to block/allow scripts on a per-site basis.

I’m pretty sure a single atom could completely convert to energy, as in perfect E=mc^2 with no losses, and you still wouldn’t notice.

This study says that standing for more than two hours increases risk of certain things like blood clots. It also says sitting for a whole shift is bad, and you should be moving every 30 minutes. This does not mean standing desks are useless; I’m not standing for my circulatory system, I’m standing for my back. I also don’t stand for an entire shift, that’s what’s great about the memory settings. I’ll switch back and forth depending on what I feel like doing. Sometimes I’ll have it on “sit” all day, other times I’m switching back and forth quite a bit. I don’t think they’re useless, nor do I think it’s some health miracle, but it does give me more flexibility and I don’t think I’d go without after having used one.

Time spent standing was not associated with CVD risk but was associated with higher orthostatic circulatory disease risk. Time spent sitting above 10 h/day was associated with both higher orthostatic circulatory disease and major CVD risk. The deleterious associations of overall stationary time were primarily driven by sitting. Collectively, our findings indicate increasing standing time as a prescription may not lower major CVD risk and may lead to higher orthostatic circulatory disease risk.

I thought that was exploiting credit card/savings account rewards by bouncing from card to card, as in /r/churning.

How about the dryer door, does it open to the middle of the two or to the side?

How do the doors open? Every front load set I’ve seen comes from the factory with the doors set up to open to opposite sides, making washer left and dryer right by design. You can usually flip the dryer door for stacking but if you had them reversed they’d be right in the way, dividing both sides.

Saying “orientated” rather than “oriented”. There’s no need for that extra “ta” in the middle, it’s a useless syllable.

Can you get the unique seasonal cars? They aren’t in the autoshow, you can’t buy them aside from the AH.

Heat is the killer for car batteries too; much to my surprise, I had to buy far more in south Texas than upstate New York. Cold makes batteries less capable, but heat accelerates degradation dramatically.

Not an active case, but it has been detected in recent times.

It’s also significantly more potent making smuggling that much more efficient. Orders of magnitude more doses per unit mass.
