Do the right thing for non-union workers

Unfortunately they have little incentive for this. That’s what the union is for.

I just started rewatching Star Trek: Voyager, for the first time since its original run on TV when I was a kid, thanks to all the damn Star Trek memes on Lemmy.

I am having a great time.

You had it until the end. Glass has an amorphous structure, not crystalline, but is still very much a solid.

Other people: Hmm I only use a few commands on this thing, I wonder if I can just refer to them by number or something?

Looks cool! But FYI this site is fucked on mobile (at least iOS), there’s a giant lemmy logo/link that blocks the form fields.

I always thought it was weird to model a game avatar after myself. I always roll the “random character” button (shout-out Monster Factory) when it’s available, keeps things simple.

I think Bastion is a perfect fit for this

Paramedic of 10+ years here. If you are a first responder and this verdict gives you pause, makes you worried about your ability to do your job well, then you are in the wrong profession. We already operate publicly - on scene someone is usually recording us on a phone, in the ambulance we often bring a family member and explain what we’re doing, at the hospital we justify the treatment we initialized, and after the run someone is reviewing our documentation. We are accountable for every milligram of drug we administer to a patient, and if that is too great a burden, then please do us all a favor and just leave now.

Prosecution of paramedics is rare because we operate in difficult situations (to put it kindly) and patients often have poor outcomes regardless of treatment. What generally protects us is the maxim of always acting in the best interest of the patient. The minute you stray from that path, you can and should be held personally (and criminally) accountable for your actions.

TL;DR: Magnets. China makes almost all of them so any time we see something that might replace rare earth metals we get excited. In this case because a group made improvements to our ability to synthesize tetrataenite, an iron-nickel alloy, by adding phosphorus.
