Anecdotally can confirm: half of the critical care unit I work is currently either Covid or flu. We're back to reserving isolation rooms again.

Memantine, donepezil, etc. should be started much earlier in this population. We need better MCI tests. My grandmother who watched both of her parents die of Alzheimer's was passing her clinical MCI long after we had taken her keys because she was repeating questions over and over, and her house was covered in post-it notes to remind her about her post-it notes.
Our current clinical assessments for MCI are really bad.
That's not relevant to pre-employment testing being literally useless for the vast majority of jobs
Post accident is fine because the question there is "were you actively impaired while working" which is a valid concern. What is pre-employment testing supposed to show that's relevant to the vast majority of jobs though? "Sometimes this person uses recreational drugs." Ok, and what? Are they coming to work impaired? If not, then outside of the medical field and airline pilots, who cares?
Why on earth should a corporation be allowed to require a privacy violating urine test as a condition for employment for a desk job? And even for safety critical jobs like medical or pilots, a pre-employment urine test isn't going to catch abuse of the one drug that is the biggest red flag in the entire collection: alcohol.
Which is a problem that pre-employment drug testing does not correct in any way, shape or form.
What makes a state a state is being ratified in Congress. I'm not sure you understand how this works. You don't just get to make a new state because people vote for it.
"Is West Virginia Constitutional?
On the creation of new states, the Constitution is pretty clear. Article IV, Section 3, reads that “no new States shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State … without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress.”

I'm all for people staying safe and taking care of themselves, but the problem is moving makes the entire situation worse. Concentrating ourselves into small geographic areas inside cities is what allowed them to gerrymander the shit out of things and get the minority political party locked into outsized political influence.
Every blue voter that leaves a rural area makes the divide worse. So I praise those who are brave enough to stay.
This is so exciting! I can't believe I lived to see this happen.
Oh I hadn't even thought of that. I have two accounts because when I started using Boost for Lemmy, my home instance wasn't supported, so I signed up for startrek.website.
My old account would appear to be an inactive user in the numbers, which is not really accurate. But also it means that bump in users that happened during the reddit exodus was partially driven by duplicate sign ups.
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person on here who plays Hollow Knight. When I want to chill, I like to start a new game and just go through the early-mid game exploration phase. No pressure, skip bosses if I feel like it. Just run around and enjoy the atmosphere and music. Love it.
I definitely will check them out. Kuru were a god damned revolution in my life after years of struggling with Brooks and Hoka.
Marijuana stays in people's systems for weeks. I don't think that never smoking pot should be a requirement of employment.
I don't smoke pot. I care about people's liberty. And you're being a prick.
