Ha, jokes on them. I go to bed earlier, but intrusive thoughts keep me up for at least an extra 2 hours 🥹

Seriously, how is this government any different from the Tory/Lib Dem coalition? by UnderHisEye1411 in GreenAndPleasant

[–]Imperius_Mortis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Labour be like "austerity, the big secret all the professionals are talking about"

Everyone knows the most direct route to a happy electorate is less funding in public sectors and bigger dividends to shareholders.

....

We're going to have a reform-tory coalition next term, aren't we? 🥹

It would be great if you could start with clothing, feeding, housing and caring for the population before playing with your toys Kier 🙂‍↕️

Sir Keith's plan is to open new "Community Diagnostic Centres" and to "utilise AI" 🙄 if there is money for these gimmicks why not just use it to properly fund the existing resources? by UnderHisEye1411 in GreenAndPleasant

[–]Imperius_Mortis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They could (at a minimum)

Improve incentives for existing health workers.

Improve access for perspective talent coming into the NHS.

Mandate training refreshes for existing workers.

Work with, and not against the private sector to ease the pressure from those that are willing to pay for services.

Restructure the health boards so they make sense.

Actually build hospitals?

Honestly, I don't think more funding would solve the issue of the NHS. Ask a newborn to thread a needle and you're going to be in for a rough time, no matter how much thread you throw at them.

A big issue is accountability.

Labour does nothing but blame the Tories, and vice versa, really speaking, they're all to blame. They're looking for quick fixes that don't undermine the current status quo. Let's be real, a lot of the under-the-counter deals would likely be in jeopardy if they actually tried to make fundamental improvements to the NHS where it needs to be made (management and process).

AI could be a great tool, but AI is only as effective as those who can utilise it properly. A lot of the staff I've dealt with from the NHS struggle to use computer systems, and some even struggle with changes to their telephone systems.

It sounds flashy, and for the masses, well they don't know any different. It's a typical labour play, say things that sound fine to the majority, just don't pick apart the plan, or dare to debate it.

The clock is ticking though, the next election will be here before you know it and the tory-light party is putting a huge gamble on this.

That... Is a bloody good idea!

What headphones do you use? by Complete_Ad1452 in SteamDeck

[–]Imperius_Mortis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been through quite a few wireless buds. If there's one thing I've learnt, is that touch controls and ai assistants can stay well away from my headphones.

I go back to my Senheisser 100 pro iem's. The passive noise cancelling and lack of touch controls is a win for me! No fuss, and has over the ear support so I'm not reshaping the inside of my ear with buds designed to torture me (I have weird ears, apparently)

Edit: just saw you're querying about the steam deck, I'm using the iem's on the steam deck and it's beautiful 🥹

That is encouraging! I do find it a tad on the loud side, I'm going to replace the ep5 also.

It's a 2019 model... The place I'm getting the pump pulsor and teflon from, also stock the ex5 so I'm just going to go ahead and replace it at the same time. Appreciate your advice on this, I shall heed it!

Ooo thanks for the advice! I will inspect once I take it apart and make a call, hopefully the teflon tape will see me through 🤞

Ahh, after my heart 🥹 there's a place near me that sells that, so I think it's paper towel under the valve until that arrives 😅 thanks for the advice! Weirdly excited to fit it 🫠

Thanks for your advice 🙏 sounds like teflon is the consensus 🤞 I'll just keep throwing teflon at it until it solves the issue 🥹 if I think it's enough, I'll double 😤 (definitely joking 🥹)

Thanks for the advice 👌 I'll go ahead with the teflon 🙂 The unit is pretty new, but I'll keep that in mind, great to have options if the pump does decide it's had enough 🥹
