And I wonder if I should, sometime in the future, apply to those wards managed by the same people that 2 years ago rejected and outright ignored me, because it’s always good to have a plan b on the back burner and I’m running out of managers within my hospital I haven’t interviewed with.

You know your industry better than I do, but my industry-agnostic answer would be: "Yes, absolutely apply if it moves your career forward". Even horrible bosses/departments can be useful as stepping stones. Many times these are open and others are avoiding them because the environment/boss sucks. If you can do a year in that department/boss as a springboard to a higher position elsewhere, I typically think its worth it.

I know its memes and not much depth is expected, but I think its slightly more.

As in, Pharmacist is a socially acceptable profession. Xanax is a socially acceptable pharmaceutical. It is socially acceptable for a patient to take this medication. However, this particular person is planning to abuse the drug, while still maintaining social acceptability, and the pharmacist knows this too, and is giving a wink and a nod they are aware of it.

The joke being "we're not dirty drug dealers and users, but really, for this case, we are, and we're getting away with it being socially acceptable."

You can tell by the way that it is.

From context, it looks like the user plans to abuse the drug, and the pharmacist is well aware the user plans to abuse it.

Has trump run that by President Musk yet for his approval first?

[-] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 6 points 22 hours ago

If trump wanted to be president, he should have not chosen to be vice president under Musk.

I disagree with your original position, but it appears even that too has evolved. I appreciate you taking the time to reply. Thank you.

What if people could earn money by generating solar energy and selling directly to vehicles, instead of the grid? I believe this could actually boost renewable energy generation over the roof.

If you're cutting out the grid, how do you propose getting electricity generated by solar to the EV? In your system do they have to come to my house and plug into my solar array when its sunny to collect their purchase? Or are you expecting the grid to deliver it, but not expect any compensation for grid capacity consumption, transmission and distribution of the electricity?

Generators would be rewarded with a blockchain token for the energy generated, while consumers would pay for the energy in those tokens. Therefore speculation would be curbed as the tokens are for a real thing, energy, which on top is a stable unit - kWh.

I'm a generator. Why would I want a token to buy electricity I already have a surplus of for my EV? How do non-solar EV owners get tokens? Does your system propose non-solar owners buy tokens on the open market with real money (dollars/euros) from solar generators? If I'm spending dollars/euros to buy tokens, why don't I just use my dollars/euros to buy electricity for my EV instead?

I was wrong about the "premium insurance", but instead it was someone of "greater value".

I think OP is using "just" here as a replacement for "simply", not as a replacement for "recently". As in, this is OPs realization of what musk transformed Twitter into.

There's a fiction short story I ran across about this future. It is an anthropomorphized conversion between the AI on each of the two cars on a collision course. The whole story takes place inside of a second or two of "human" elapsed time. A crash is unavoidable, but one car is presenting an argument that each car should change course slightly so the least amount of damage is done to each. The other car is arguing that because his car pays for premium insurance, the other car should change more drastically to minimize the damage to his car. However, that action would result in the death of that other driver.

I lean towards libertarianism and I oppose congestion pricing because I think all the claimed benefits are just marketing and it’s simply a new tax. If it does improve conditions in Manhattan significantly, I’ll admit I was wrong.

We don't have to guess what the future holds. London has had congestion pricing for about 22 years now. Its been largely successful.

Tom Smothers, half of the Smothers Brothers and the co-host of one of the most socially conscious and groundbreaking television shows in the history of the medium, has died at 86.

The National Comedy Center, on behalf of his family, said in a statement Wednesday that Smothers died Tuesday at home in Santa Rosa, California, following a cancer battle.

“I’m just devastated,” his brother and the duo’s other half, Dick Smothers, told The Associated Press in an interview Wednesday. “Every breath I’ve taken, my brother’s been around.”
