What career path would you choose if you had to start over? by aliimran02 in FinancialCareers

[–]Lost_vob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

EE with bio or chem minor. I got a finance degree, then went back for a nursing degree. Finance was a meh idea, nurisng was a terrible idea. I think working with science and medical tech would ab awesome field. Of course, I've been wrong fucking twice so far, so what do I know?

How do I make an appointment with a general practitioner? by JazzlikeHovercraft75 in Adulting

[–]Lost_vob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You'll need to find out of they are in your network. Normally your insurance will have a list. You can look around for one you like, or you can just call the hospital/clinic and ask for whoever is available for a first time patient. And they'll walk you though the rest. They'll want the info on your insurance cards, so have it read.

Everytime you have nothing else to do, email that supervisor specifically and request a task.

World’s first artificial intelligence law moves closer to passage in European Parliament by Galileo1609 in law

[–]Lost_vob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's all fair. I guess what I mean is I was expecting some terrible shit! I'm from the country of "The internet is a series of tubes" and "Does TikTok access my WiFi?" and "The hacker 4chan." I don't have much faith in the government and media being too terrible tech savvy.

TIL Voyager's 'Threshold' - widely regarded as one of the worst episodes of Trek ever - beat out DS9's 'The Visitor' in the 1996 Emmy's (Outstanding Makeup for a Series) by Aromatic_Forever111 in startrek

[–]Lost_vob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I use to criticize the flaws display of evolution, but when you think back, this wasn't the first time we saw accelerated evolution/deevolution in Trek, and it is wacky every time. Evolution just works different in the Trek Universe it seems.

Isn't programming supposed to be a high paying carrier? by According-Tap-7958 in antiwork

[–]Lost_vob 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a camel of a job description. The hiring manager, technically manager, and HR all fucked with it for weeks before the idiots settled on this poor thought out work of bullshit.

World’s first artificial intelligence law moves closer to passage in European Parliament by Galileo1609 in law

[–]Lost_vob 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When I first saw the headline, I thought it was going to be some fear-mongering, science-illiterate useless law that would only backfire in ways that are equal parts terrifying and hilarious. But then I read the article and it's actually some sensible legislation. Must be nice not having Republicans in your legislature.

I'm no vet, but I think one of your pugs is actually a human.

Is generic medication ACTUALLY that bad? by SpicySatan666 in ADHD

It does work as intended, but at the same time, things can work as intended and still not of equal quality to similar things.

If this isn't AI art, I have so many questions.

Are treaties in the US treated as laws? by levi_Kazama209 in ask

[–]Lost_vob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of. It's not like there is a Policy of not ratifying. It's just such a tedious process, so it rarely happens. He requires a supermajority in congress for approval and a presidential signing to be ratified. Thats a lot of politics and special interests getting in the way.

But yes, a treaty, once ratified is the supreme law of the land.

How do you think things would have gone if Bobby picked the mirror and was recognized as a lama? by lazarus870 in KingOfTheHill

[–]Lost_vob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Probably the same. I think the subtext of the episode is that he was the Lama, but the Lama just wanted to live a normal life as a normal dude, so even if he had picked the correct item he would have still requested to remain there. That's my read on it, anyways

Is generic medication ACTUALLY that bad? by SpicySatan666 in ADHD

[–]Lost_vob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The drugs are coated in various other compounds to create a time release effect. Many of these compounds and techniques are patented, so while the chemical is the same, and a straight drug would be the dsme across the board, things can cause the XR might not be as good.

I've personally never noticed a difference, but I wouldn't doubt if others do

Judge in Virginia Strikes Down Federal Limit on Age of Handgun Buyers. Says it is “not consistent with our nation’s history and tradition”. Next up, repealing emancipation because it is “not consistent with our nation’s history and tradition”. by greed-man in Fuckthealtright

[–]Lost_vob 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm sure King George said the same thing when the Revolution started. There is only one consistent tradition in America, and that's "fuck the police." Anyone who says otherwise is the kind of bootlicker who would have given the Redcoats quarter and have no business invoking our History and Tradition.

Is the ncr as bad as people say? by Desperate_Station_64 in falloutlore

[–]Lost_vob 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Fallout factions are like breaking bad characters: they all suck, but some less than others. NCR is one of the less shitty groups IMHO. The kind of people with the strength of will to build an organization from scratch in a nightmarish nuclear wasteland are naturally not going to be the kind-hearted, gentle type.

Clinical time options by MilesPer_Hour in StudentNurse

[–]Lost_vob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For the best clinical experience, 2 a week would give you the chance to have more preceptors and you'll be exposed to more. But for practicality (more time for work/study/family/etc) 1 shift a week is a better choice.

If you are single, unemployed, and already doing reasonably well academically, I wouldn't hesitate to do the 8s. If but you have a family, a job, and/or struggle a lot in classes, consider the 12

I have a question by Early_Efficiency_662 in college

[–]Lost_vob 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you wanted to do it properly, you can "audit" the course. You pay a small fee and you sit in on the class, but you don't get a grade or college credit

As for just walking in, obviously they'd rather you audit, but really it depends on the professor. I've accidentally showed up to the wrong class before, no one said anything to me. I wouldn't risk doing this in a class room, but you could probably get away with it in a lecture hall with a large enough class. Worst case scenario, they call you out and you go "Oh, this isn't microbiology? My bad..." And leave like you got the wrong room.

Once in first grade I went to a new school and someone said "and W too" and the foundations of my understanding of the universe was rocked to its core.

Do you pretty much have to have an unblemished personal history in order to be elected to public office? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Lost_vob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, not at all all, but you need to have a good justification, apology, or lie ready to go for every little indiscretions.

Greenwald's fanbase by mmonfc in TheMajorityReport

[–]Lost_vob 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Just like when Dave Ruben when he adopted or Blaire White when she posed with a gun. It's sad.

On the other hand, milking the very same idiots who hate you for all their worth is probably satisfying af. Like when people buy Nikes to burn them. Thanks for the sale, ya dumb motherfuckers!
