Thanks for the info @easy_jonathan . Unacceptable that the system is not set up to handle what it promises and hope this improves quickly

@TalJCohen @stephencosire @sweatystartup On paper, it’s free. On the ground, it isn’t. Public hospitals don’t have enough supplies. The patients are asked to buy them outside. I did my internship at the country’s largest public university hospital, and we had to chip in to pay for those supplies. The system stinks.

@stephencosire @sweatystartup A quick google shows that public healthcare in the Philippines is largely free. The health system in the US is the exception not the rule

My company will weather this economic recession for one main reason:
50% of our employees are located in the Philippines and earn $10,000 a year on average ($5 / hr).
No employment taxes, no workers compensation, no healthcare.
Also loyal, hardworking, kind team members.

@KanosaManila @stephencosire @sweatystartup Sounds crazy. Can you link to any articles that talk about it in more detail?

@marcelsalathe @sama It actually accesses the web. Just add "browsing: enabled" after your question.

"More than half of 51,000-plus respondents either said they regret getting vaccinated, or were unvaccinated and happy with their decision. Not a single person said they were unvaccinated and regret the decision". Interesting. news.com.au/world/coronavi… via @newscomauHQ

@mealreplacer Great read, thanks for writing it. Is that AI gen art?

When in the water, marine iguanas' blood circulation is reduced, with a heart rate of ~30 bpm vs 100 bpm on land, allowing them to better conserve their warmth [read more: buff.ly/3DTPx13-] [video by Kenzo Kiren: buff.ly/3HH06Xp-]

Breaking: New study finds drinking expensive alcohol linked to longer lives and drinking cheap alcohol linked to shorter lives. Scientists desperately trying to identify the features of alcohol molecules that could explain this puzzle.

@benleo_econ @davidhagmann Great idea bem. If the website is a passion project then there is no cost v benefit calculation to be made
English
@davidhagmann The idea would be to try and increase the domain, by making it more generalist and accessible (blog posts hosted on a substack, or a youtube channel).
You are probably right that costs outweigh benefits. I will need to think about it more.

It's long overdue, but I finally have a website!

Last night, I did what I thought'd be a small call out, asking:
"Is every emergency department in Metro Melbourne fucked right now, or is it just some of them?"
I've been hit with an avalanche of messages.
Here is the problem, some causes and solutions, in plain words🧵:

@JessMessias_ GBM! Very true - also the idea that paying for a gym membership makes you go is a myth, and also breeds a bit of resentment. I like your approach of finding other motivators

feeling in shape is one of the hardest things i've ever done. it took 14 years of failure to finally have a breakthrough.

i'd love to hear about your fitness journey, and help if i can.

Good morning WFH twitter! Just logging on to share our new fancy ass house/office kettle that gives you live temperature readings and a time estimate to boiling. Have I already boiled it 3 times this morning instead of doing work?
... No comment!

@covidbaseau Hi team, great work over the last year! Wondering if it was possible to graph active cases, and hospitalisation/icu/death data against time? To give an idea of the rate of significant illness normalised to number of active cases. Might be interesting?

Hey twitter fam, for my birthday (Jan 4) I am raising money for @AgainstMalaria.
In short, it is one of the cheapest ways to save a life right now according to @GiveWell.
Also, for every $1 you donate, I will match it (for the first $500)!

Farmer ingenuity at its best. Companion planting barley with tomatoes to act as a wind break. Barley can be easily cultivated out once the tomato’s are strong enough.

@marty386 @dewhurst_ben @DoctorKarl That's really interesting. Are the stones consistently uncovered? Hard to believe that convection currents would always overpower the effects of wind in pushing it the opposite way. One way to check is observe patterns for 1 week, then move stones to other side and observe
English
@dewhurst_ben @DoctorKarl Could also be convection currents, same as before, warmer water rises and pushes the weed to one side?
English
We recently added some stones to our pond . The duck weed that previously covered the surface now no longer grows above the stones. Anyone know why?
Maybe @DoctorKarl will know...(or anyone else)
