hm the nearest MD to my place (health services apparently doesn't open til a few weeks from now) has really good google reviews
BUT
one of the reviews says
He is not one to write unneeded prescriptions, and I am especially grateful for his sensible guidance about vaccines for my kids. A+.
*squints*
...maybe it's someone who was anti-vaxx but then got talked out of it by the MD, and they're grateful for the MD's patient/non-condescending manner or something...?
agree, i find it hard to believe there are too many doctors who are anti-vax
we should just be generating our power with safe, clean, efficient, cheap natural gas

for some reason the govnt is averse to hiring programmers. hell i'm surprised we hire IT people at all and don't just contract it all out. i'm betting it will be that way eventually.
They can't afford the contractors.
Govt IT peeps are GS-12 and GS-13. Every govt contractor I know who does IT or programming makes way more than that. Some of the programmers I know who work for the govt make more than the SES does.
And you know the insane thing about it is at least in my agency it doesnt matter. They will pay a boatload of money for a contract rather than just hire someone at a competitive salary. It's stupidity at it's finest.
The agency I worked for was the same. Apparently before I got there, they had ordered all the WG employees working there to work as much overtime as they wanted, then they could show that contractors were cheaper, then replaced them all with contractors who were way more expensive in the long run. Also they had to hire someone (me) to watch the contractors.

I'm probably going to get an F because this paper im turning in today is about how we need nuclear power, and details in lay terms how much safer gen 3 and 4 reactors are to reactors like fukushima, and even if there was a fukishma disaster every 2 years it wouldn't be anywhere close to the damage wrought by fossil fuels - disregarding global warming
once you add global warming to the ledger the only hindrance is the cost of nuclear power
I read something recently which claimed that, whatever its utility, nuclear power is not really a substitute for other renewables, on the grounds that new plants are extremely expensive and will take a really long time to get online. So, the claim was that even bracketing concerns about safety and waste storage there's not really any realistic scenario where nuclear power can take over in even the medium term, given that nuclear plant construction is a behemoth project that even when done to spec will involve massive capital outlays and most likely substantial cost and scheduling overruns.

Yeah. The new 30-minute HBO version is a bit of a letdown, but the last few seasons before are pretty good.

It could also be a doctor who was willing to stretch out the government-approved vaccination schedule. It's pretty aggressive, mostly because a) vaccines are safe who cares and b) most people have bad insurance and don't want to go to the doctor, so they want to get as many vaccinations as possible in as few visits or they might not happen at all.
But if you're not in that group of people who might just stop going to their pediatrician then doing them one at a time over more visits is fine .

Oh and I forgot the WG they got off the govt payroll were cheaper than davis bacon, and were hired by the contractors that took over the service.
We are currently 14,3 millimetres of rain away from the wettest july in 20 years (247,6 mm is the record from 1995), and there's three days to go and it's pouring
yay summer.

China seems pretty keen on throwing up a bunch of much smaller nuclear plants that take less time to build
All of this is reasons why we should have started building many new plants a decade ago, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't start building more now

yeah I'd be really surprised just
hmmm
I'd love it if you took a look at my art and my PATREON!
Why is that automatically a bad thing?
Maybe they just wanted to know more about the vaccines and the doctor helped them understand why they are safe and a good thing?
Seems weird that it stands out so much to you.

"unneeded prescriptions" is often a buzzword for some pretty dumb ideas about how medicine works
not always though
there's still a chance
my shit is made exclusively by white vermiculturists with bad dreadlocks and strong opinions about "toxins."
