Local agencies for healthcare do “flu clinics” every fall. I’ve done this. It’s an easy money, relaxed gig that has no end of RNs and LPNs willing to participate. The agency supplies materials. Only requirement is space to set up. One of those 6ft tables is sufficient, 2 if you want four flu shot lines instead of two. Local businesses use this to supply employees with on site flu shots.

Walgreens and Walmart could do this too, at any time, to relieve their pharm staff of being stacked up with too many tasks. But they don’t.

It’s not a question of workers. More often, it’s a question of the billionaire employers being willing to pay more workers, temporary or otherwise.

It’s October, but does this guy not have a nose?

Their content turned fairly bad. Witcher and Stranger Things were the only reasons to keep it. So why keep it?

Haven’t had it for a while. It was cool in the 00s, started to go bad in the 10s. Inertia can only take you so far.

Hell, even AppleTV free run had more decent content for 3 mos.

One issue with mother baby units is they are loss leaders. This is why not every hospital has them. They only drain money from a hospital. If the hospital has other money making specialists bringing in the cash, then the mother baby unit can stay.

The other piece is a hospital can only have units for the medical specialists they can attract. If, say, they can’t find cardiologists then there will be no cath lab, and patients needing that care will have to be transferred elsewhere. If, say, Alabama is having a hard time attracting OBGYNs due to archaic laws regarding women’s medical care, then the unit would have to close even if the hospital has no financial reason to do so.

Not stand up. David Sedaris, his life essays, not the short stories.

The Ship Shape, amiright?

Honestly, bread is a good start for something beyond defrosting frozen food on a cookie sheet in the oven.

Water, flour, yeast, and a bit of honey/sugar to start the yeast. Simple ingredients and you sit on your ass gaming/reading for most of it.

And it’s a confidence booster.

While everything you say is true, it’s not all scornful.

Some folks work 8-16hrs a day and if they don’t, their child will cry in hunger, the lights get shut off, and immediate needs get difficult.

It’s not all about TV and fast food, it’s about the bottom layer or two of Maslow’s Heirarchy.

It’s why we had riots post George Floyd. People had time (off work) alongside an unemployment check (no scorn as I type that, just laying out some of the contributing variables that made it so.). Hell, lack of social interaction may have brought folks out to where other people were as well.

The root reason can be noble as fuck, but without the right set of circumstances that allows for some assurance of not losing job, roof, health care and such, it ain’t happening, at least not to any effective scale.

Idk what it was about Voyager, it never really popped as a series for me. Mulgrew was great.

She was also great as Red and Flemeth/Mythal (my money is on Mythal anyway).

The rest of the cast was rather blah. No on screen repor.

This is the problem with non-medical personnel making broad strokes medical decisions. Lives can and will be lost.

This is, by far, my favorite lemmy sub.

As a career night shifter I’m having great difficulty understanding this.

I feel like gollum when forced to face the sun.

Then what you want is less rental inventory. Because this is how you get less rental inventory.
