@courtneyellis @pleasefixgovt It’s about access. You can call them on their cell, text them, get a prescription on a weekend, etc. Doc has far fewer patients, and can give each ample time. Concierge access is what medicine used to be, when you had a good family doctor in the old days.

@pleasefixgovt It totally might make sense for older folks. I get that. But I’d basically be paying $5k for an annual physical.

My longtime family doc in Nov: Exciting news! I am moving to concierge medicine! For an annual fee of $5,000 I can remain your primary care physician. (Sick visits extra.) My longtime family doc in March: So… I still have a few open spots, in case you want one.

@theaircurrent did Starlink shut down aviation users suddenly on Monday as a result of Iran’s use of Mini terminals on drones? Seems too sudden to be an orderly change of plans and pricing. And the Passport verification points towards them trying to weed out bad actors.

@ilyasu is this one of those things where you cancel, but you still get it til the end of the month

@AntonioSanguino @OITAndina I did not publish anything. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

EN LA DISCUSIÓN DEL SALARIO MININO, NO OLVIDAREMOS LAS VARIABLES DEL SALARIO VITAL Y MÓVIL DE LA @OITAndina Esta semana se publicó la cifra oficial de inflación por el @Dane que demuestra que se mantiene a la baja en 5,3%, esto también indica que ni la reforma laboral ni el aumento de salarios produjo lo que los apocalípticos neoliberales pronosticaban: que estaríamos en hiperinflación, falacias. Ahora bien , pese a que la inflación se mantiene controlada, sectores como educación y salud se encuentran por encima del promedio: la inflación en Educación se encuentra en 7,3% y Salud en 6,8%. Siendo coherentes con los postulados de la OIT sobre salario vital, estos aspectos tendrán que hacer parte de los análisis de la Comisión de Concertación que mañana continúa su trabajo. Lo anterior, junto con el derecho a mantener el poder adquisitivo del salario (sentencia T-426 de 1992) y que el ajuste nunca sea inferior al inflación anterior (sentencia C-815 de 1999), animaran las decisiones progresistas por venir.

@StephanieVozza this description of the size of the Amtrak cabin doesn’t make any sense. 🤔

@DoxieLover777 @GeoWatchNews That’s just silly.

Why are our taxes paying for our demise? #GeoEngineering @GeoWatchNews @dane

@Sandra_ForeroR I did not present those figures.

Sobre las cifras presentadas por el @Dane, en el sector construcción nada para celebrar. Las edificaciones completan 9 trimestres a la baja. Este trimestre es la segunda mayor caída desde 2023 (–8,3%). La inversión en vivienda se desploma –8,6%. Un gobierno que desmontó 30 años de política de vivienda, quebró la confianza y apagó el sueño de miles de familias. Y la ministra @HelgaMaRivasAr pensando solo en mejoramientos y autoconstrucción (sin licencia).

@stevenelliott @Jessicalessin @Waymo Yes.

@Jessicalessin @Waymo speaking of Waymo does Waymo understand school speed limits?

Parents of the Bay Area: How do we lobby for @Waymo stops at our kids schools?

Brilliant.

@verge This feature is AWFUL. And it can't be turned off without eliminating the useful integration of calendar appointments, flights and hotel stays. But I REALLY don't want the top 1/3rd of my inbox showing that I'm getting an Amazon delivery in a couple days. /cc @marifes

@jonfavs this seems odd. Why not?

For the first time ever, an Amtrak NextGen Acela train just pulled up to Union Station. It had left Boston at 6 AM this morning, taking roughly 7 hours to make the entire trip.

What are your thoughts on the KLM livery?

@thenewarea51 I flew once - and will confess that I stole the blankets. In my defense, they were ending service in a short time, so I figured they wouldn’t need it. 😏

"Dear lord, forgive me because I have sinned" I cannot stop collecting airline memorabilia and in this case, I purchased a 1970’s pneumatic headset from Concorde. It came sealed as new, I stared at it for about 2 whole minutes, ripped the packaging open and hung it on my wall. “At one time, when pneumatic was the only option, we had a 97% market share,” Twist says. “The headsets were identical airline to airline, but in the yoke was a blank space that could be molded with the individual airline’s logo.” Pneumatic headsets were used through the 1960s and 70’s, but IFE technology changed with 1979 introduction of the Sony Walkman portable, audio cassette player.

@AouadMuneerah @sonic For us, it’d be a challenge to deploy there. Lots of waterways, bridge crossings, highway crossings, etc. And utilities appear to be all underground, which is more difficult than areas with aerial utilities. The combination of all of those factors make it a very costly project.

@dane @sonic Tell me why every internet company in San Mateo is ignoring Foster City? I just checked and you have gone to the east bay area and ignored thousands of customers over here in San Mateo County.

Today would be a great day to help your parents or in-laws order @Sonic fiber. They’ll be truly thankful. 🤓

@sumanpalit6 @AshleyGWinter They stop screening because it’s such a slow moving cancer (generally) that knowing about it after 70 is moot anyway for most.

@AshleyGWinter Is there an age range where it’s tested for every year? My PCP wants a PSA test done every year (I’m 57). Also, why do we stop screening?

Y'all I'm a board certified urologist and I've spent over a decade diagnosing and managing prostate cancer and I'm seeing so many horrible takes on Biden.

Does anyone have a contact at Meta? My Instagram account has disappeared, and the normal account recovery links don’t work. Very odd.
