I'm a doctor and my partner is a nurse and the size of the difference is straight up injustice. Join your union and vote for militant leaders that will push for better conditions and salaries. If you don't fight you lose

I have an idee fixe that I could set up a non profit that bought homes and rented them at a price somewhere between the maintenance cost and the market price. It would make a profit and slowly expand providing more and more affordable housing. Ideally it would start with more than 1 million but doesn't need to.

Australian doctor here, certainly in Australia There are dozens of jobs for nurses that require minimal or no patient contact.

Things like administration and management would usually require at least a reasonable amount of experience but clinic work is very different to hospital work.

My own fiance works in infection control which is a lot of reviewing charts, advising ward staff on isolation protocol, ensuring staff vaccinations are up to date.

Just quit nursing is a little otp.

Very interesting and deserves to be in the spotlight.

I'd highlight that two of the broken promises seem to be ending high income tax cuts which were a ridiculous inclusion in their platform and another is that they didn't meet the deadline on urgent care clinics.

I'd also like to highlight the implicit promise of an allegedly "Labor" party to be pro-union. I'd suggest that removing the elected leaders of a union and appointing their own due to the alleged misconduct of individuals is a broken promise far more serious.

Quiggin with some interesting thoughts on cost of living.

I agree and I'd like to add that education systems that treat WW2 as the war to understand is actively harmful.

In part due to characteristics of the war and in part due to how it is taught and remembered.

Just 2 examples

  • WW2 can be quite easily presented as having clear good guys and bad guys which makes it fairly unhelpful to study to understand modern conflicts.
  • Chamberlain is consistently painted as a naive idiot for trying to prevent a war through diplomacy. Whether or not it was futile in that case isn't really relevant, when WW2 is the only war most people study in any depth then all attempts at avoiding conflict get characterised as naive appeasement.

Just in case anyone here still thinks nuclear is viable.

I'm by no means an expert but I was briefly obsessed with comparative religion over a decade ago and I don't think anyone has given a great answer, I believe my answer is correct but I don't have time for research beyond checking a couple of details.

As a few people have mentioned there is little physical evidence for even the most notable individuals from that time period and it's not reasonable to expect any for Jesus.

In terms of literary evidence there is exactly 1 historian who is roughly contemporary and mentions Jesus. Antiquities of the Jews by Josephus mentions him twice, once briefly telling the story of his crucifixion and resurrection. The second is a mention in passing when discussing the brother of Jesus delivering criminals to be stoned.

I think it is reasonable to conclude that a Jewish spiritual leader with a name something like Jesus Christ probably existed and that not long after his death miracles are being attributed to him.

It is also worth noting the historical context of the recent emergence of Rabbinical Judaism and the overabundance of other leaders who were claimed to be Messiahs, many of whom we also know about primarily(actually I think only) from Josephus.

This is the correct answer. At some point paediatricians and other folks interested in child development standardised the meaning of infant as above but unless you're a paediatrician they are completely interchangeable.

I have a personal website, not a business one but if all you want is to display some information and contact details etc then Hover for domain hosting and Squarespace for the website, they are easy to use and relatively cheap for a simple website that looks professional. If you want things like e-commerce or online booking you might want something else although linking to another service from a Squarespace site could work.

I'm currently shifting to self hosting and having troubles with Hover, but for an easy to use service that doesn't require any technical knowledge it works fine. They also offer [email protected] which I use as my main personal email with no worries.

Please don't just have a Facebook page, it becomes a real pain for non-facebook users, especially on mobile, and it makes you look like a complete amateur.

Guitar and ukelele are relatively easy to learn and don't require reading music. Ukelele would probably be a bit easier on your joints though.

Reminder me of this

"What to do if you find yourself stuck with no hope of rescue: Consider yourself lucky that life has been good to you so far. Alternatively, if life hasn't been good to you so far - which, given your present circumstances, seems more likely - consider yourself lucky that it won't be troubling you much longer." Douglas Adams

If you don't have time to do something right what makes you think you have time to do it twice?

Respect other people's time. When dealing with a busy person in a professional context;

  • Emails should be as short as possible while still conveying the needed information, don't make a busy person excavate the relevant info from somewhere near the middle of the fifth paragraph.
  • Whenever possible phrase a question in a way that can be answered in one word.

So "Climate neutral" means not net zero and therefore not climate neutral. Is there nuance I'm missing?
