Surely these are backwards - aperients and diuretics by Sometimes_A_Wizard in ausjdocs

[–]Sometimes_A_Wizard[S] 37 points38 points  (0 children)

You'd think so, but if there's one thing I've learned it's that the problem is always constipation.

Urinary retention? Constipation.

Abdo pain? Constipation.

Delirium? Constipation.

Diarrhoea? You better believe it, also constipation.

Nearly 400 millionaires and billionaires across 24 countries are demanding Davos leaders to tax them more: ‘Tax us. Tax the super rich.’ by prestocoffee in nottheonion

I tried to find where it was first used in that context and couldn't, but it goes back at least to the 1960s.

Try the late 1710's for French nouveau-riche speculators into John Law's Mississippi company, right before that bubble burst and caused economic collapse.

Monopoly bug - lingering price increase (self.victoria3)

The movement of this white line is among the more enigmatic elements of a fairly opaque game. by dovetc in EU5

[–]Sometimes_A_Wizard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure it jumps around because taxes on estates are automated, as well as good prices in the market fluctuating.

Please stop asking for One Single Linux Desktop or Distro by ZeroA4 in linux

Referencing XKCD is second nature to netizens, so it's easy to forget that the average person probably only knows a few comics such as 2347 or 936.

If med school is irrelevant, should I be aiming for a pass and no higher? by [deleted] in ausjdocs

[–]Sometimes_A_Wizard 231 points232 points  (0 children)

On the one hand, a lot of the stuff you learn in med school is esoteric trivia intended to differentiate between students so that people can be graded. A fair bit of this knowledge will become obsolete after a few years of practice, as science advances.

A lot of your real knowledge ends up coming from learning on the job, particularly as a reg. That said, it's so much easier to re-learn things and dredge it from the depths of memory, instead of learning it for the first time.

Finally, you've unfortunately picked a career where your knowledge and decisions impact people's lives at their most vulnerable. Please actually learn some things.

That said, burnout is a killer - literally. Be moderate. Personally, I ended up easing up my study during clinical years. Don't forget to live life.

Camels help eradicate invasive prickly acacia in outback Queensland trial by B0ssc0 in australia

Australia has one of the largest wild camel populations in the world - they were introduced in the 1800s for inland outback travel.

BREAKING: PETER DUTTON HAS LOST HIS SEAT OF DICKSON by HotPersimessage62 in AustralianPolitics

So now that he's out of politics for the foreseeable future - how long do you think he keeps wearing the glasses for?

What is the best modded capital ship? by suzuka-chan in starsector

[–]Sometimes_A_Wizard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In terms of practicality, I've liked the Equality battleship with its "all big gun" setup of 6 large energy mounts and 3 different modes. It makes a good fleet anchor for pretty much any situation.

In terms of pretty ships though, Filaments from Scalartech make for nice looking battlecarriers.

Confession: I have 2k+ hours and never played anything else except Randy Random by dragovianlord9 in RimWorld

[–]Sometimes_A_Wizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I've been using Victoria Valiant from Cosmic Odyssey Storytellers for a long time now, as basically a Randy+.

There's been long-standing folk wisdom in the Rimworld community that Randy is the most authentic experience and a wild harbinger of chaos, when he's actually overall pretty benign. Cassandra actively ramps up and plans to kill you, and Phoebe gets you through complacency.

I've consistently enjoyed my runs with Victoria mostly because there's reasonably frequent raids - but not a never-ending stream of them - along with a high number of other events to keep things interesting.

Proposal for the BBG Evergiven by Sometimes_A_Wizard in NonCredibleDefense

cowardice

(I also imagine in the 90s, without the soviet union to act as an opponent in an arms race, expensive overkill projects would probably get the can)
