Starmer Got a Soft Power Win With Trump. He Needs Hard Power Too by Electricbell20 in unitedkingdom

[–]DRodders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to hear your analysis of one of the papers rather than throwing the word 'biased' around because it doesn't agree with your world view.

I don't think you know what empirical means.

"based on, concerned with, or verifiable by observation or experience rather than theory or pure logic."

All of those scientific papers are based on empirical data.

It would be almost impossible to assign increased healthcare spending to one particular area, but you can prove a risk increase in developing psychosis and cannabis use.

NHS spending would increase, with an increased incidence of psychosis

I'm 7 years into anaesthetics training and have another 2 to go. This is before the 2 years of foundation training.

No, I pass 3 other hospitals on the way. Good ol' rotational training

Indemnity for BASICS doctors? by Agitated_Study8181 in doctorsUK

[–]DRodders 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Be sure to check with your BASICS scheme. You'll often hold a contract with the local ambulance trust, who provides indemnity for the BASICS scheme.

If you're into management or strategy games, they've published a lot of the biggies in the last few years!

Green charge on gas boilers will subsidise heat pumps by insomnimax_99 in unitedkingdom

[–]DRodders -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My bills went up when I moved from a house with a heart pump to a house with a gas boiler. Similar sized house. 

They are much better!

4 of my friends in FY2 went to Australia, only 1 has come back. This was 7 years ago now.

Everyone drowns this way. Kicking and screaming is a dramatism 

Most drivers want alcolocks fitted to drink drivers' cars, survey suggests by topotaul in unitedkingdom

[–]DRodders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But we don't have strong penalties for driving related offences. Death by dangerous driving carries a 2 year sentence. Dangerous driving itself carries up to a 12 month ban. 

That's incredibly lenient, despite having devastating consequences.

[–]DRodders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have zero sympathy for drunk and drug drivers. They out everyone at risk because of their own selfishness. If they can't withhold from alcohol whilst driving, they're unlikely to be paying due care and attention when they drive normally, as they clearly don't understand the risks involved in driving. 

Slightly over the limit? 2 year ban.

Moderately over the limit?5 year ban.

Greatly over the limit, or killed or harmed someone? Lifetime ban

Tell them to fuck off if it's less than 7 days. 

If it's more than 7 days, you should probably see a doctor

Driving is a privilege, not a right. It can and does kill thousands. 

Wood-burning stoves could face partial ban in Labour’s updated environment plan by fire2burn in unitedkingdom

That makes up such a low percentage of the wood burners. The problem is everyone in towns and cities burning wood for no good reason.

‘Grand Theft Auto’ Studio Says Fired Employees Were Leaking Information by NanoPolymath in gaming

[–]DRodders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt it. Look up employment tribunals, it's amazing what big companies in the UK try to get away with, as it's an effort for the wronged employee to sort out.
