    Coronavirus Updates, Important Information, and Ancedotal Experience

    It's not a HIPAA issue, it's an issue with the state of EHR in the United States. It's absolutely abysmal. Try getting your own health records from your PCP. You'll probably be given a book of physical printouts and charged for every page over 10.

    Coronavirus Updates, Important Information, and Ancedotal Experience

    EHR (electronic healthcare records) data trading in the USA is about 30 years behind the curve. It's why legislation like "meaningful use" had to be passed so patients could actually get access to their own goddamn health records. Doctors are fucking terrible about adjusting to the times.

    Coronavirus Updates, Important Information, and Ancedotal Experience

    People everywhere are disgusting noodle. You're kidding yourself if you think a gym is somehow inherently more gross than a mall or a Target. In fact, gyms tend to use way more disinfectant than retail stores do. The opening plans and phases across states really don't make much sense if you dig...

    Why's that? People touch more of the same stuff in a grocery store without wiping it down themselves than they do in a gym. Does COVID-19 spread via sweat?

    If gyms aren't safe nothing that has crowds of people indoors are safe. Ya know... like malls and retail stores. Also, not every gym is an LA Fitness flesh herd.

    Today is the day CT starts its first phase of re-opening. They hadn't really updated the plan until a few days ago and I started to look closer at it last night. We have a pretty decent data portal which also outlines the plan here: https://portal.ct.gov/coronavirus Essentially almost nothing...

    And most customers wouldn't know the difference in installation times or have any idea if the job was taking too long. They would definitely notice lower flow though.

    This doesn't make any sense. It's not like the vast majority of a plumber's customers are asking for cpvc specifically, a plumber could get away with using pex themselves very easily if they wanted to and could still charge whatever it is they want to charge. A plumber's money comes from labor...

    Warmode was a pretty good change. Didn't have to worry about PvP server buyer's remorse years down the line anymore. Warmode at release was a shitload of fun because everyone had it on for the extra rewards and there was actual skirmish PvP happening for the first time in... well... forever...

    New York you can call up and get tested whenever, regardless of symptoms. CT you still cannot unless you have symptoms or you live in one of the CT hotspots. Friend at Abbott states the hotspots are priority #1 for receiving tests and they still don't have capacity to broaden that spectrum so...

    It also hilariously will have the opposite of intended effect. "We're about to pull the floor boss but we're already doing 8% less damage and lust is 3 minutes away, I don't think we can kill him at 8% without lust but we can at 11% with lust so let's wait" Essentially they sold Torghast as a...

    12% more damage taken is not what's going to kill you? Huh? If there was a cloak enchant that was 12% less damage taken even the DPS would take that enchant. Every time.

    How is that optimal? Who ever said the entirety of Torghast was designed around bloodlust or that waiting is somehow efficient? If there is a reward people want and they are inclined to reach the goal of attaining that reward they will use whatever tools at their disposal to get it. This is not...

    You will never fix that human behavior. A timer sure as shit won't fix it. As such it's not a meaningful explanation, they're doing it to handcuff the bleeding edge, like they do with every interesting system with meaningful rewards in the game.

    Or just let people sit and wait 10 minutes if they want to tryhard themselves to the top in 7 hours and let the rest of the people who are too impatient or DGAF go through it however they want as well. It's literally not a problem. Blizzard just doesn't want Limit and Method to "artificially"...

    Commuting an hour each way every day to work will take a toll on your mental well being. It's a big time stress inducer. Having the large majority of your paycheck get sucked down by your home to the point where you're living paycheck to paycheck will take the same toll on your mental well...

    The problem with set bonuses was never the bonuses. It was the complete lack of flavor items outside of sets. Classic is the perfect example of sets, with set bonuses (some terrible, some godly) but also having options outside of sets for items with good effects that when combined can be just...

    Unsurprisingly Fyff completely misses the point and chooses to focus on one 10 minute cooldown and not the new timer itself.

    Residual Tesla effect I took a look at that company and not really sure how they plan to really take off but it still seems like a decent buy before the Nikola IPO simply because of Tesla blinding the average investor.

    I can't speak to how many applicants there are, I just know we are still hiring. I'm a consultant with an indefinite contract so I guess I should say "they are still hiring", not we.
