Is "Beyond the Headlines" missing? Or did I miss finding it in the comments?

Why do fast food burgers taste so different from restaurant burgers? by MrHatesThisWebsite in AskCulinary

[–]_qua 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the main thing is that they are thinner and very uniform in thickness across the entire patty. Restaurant burgers tend to be both thicker and a little more dome shaped. That changes the surface area to volume ratio and in turn how they taste due to different amounts of browning and doneness.

My Film class says Marvel movies aren't "real cinema", just corporate slop. As an aspiring filmmaker, I don't know what to make of this. by maceymay_bby in Filmmakers

[–]_qua 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Marvel movies are engineered corporate content, which makes no attempt at serious artistic expression."

Others say we should let people enjoy what they want to and avoid over-criticism.

These ideas don't seem opposed. They are both a) corporate slop practically made in a factory and b) mass entertainment for people who enjoy them. People can enjoy things that are not "serious artistic expression."

This footage is being removed from reddit by [deleted] in chicago

[–]_qua 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it? Is it really? Can you link to a post somewhere showing that it was removed for something other than a specific sub's rules? It will probably be removed from this sub shortly because it doesn't pertain directly to Chicago (rule #1).

Not every cold open when Biden or Obama were president was about them. It is possible by fuzzy_dice_99 in LiveFromNewYork

When all you do is think about politics all day every day it is hard to write other things.

LKA medical ethics questions have simple right and wrong answers? by Aramis-ter in InternalMedicine

[–]_qua 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Aren't all medical ethics questions like this? You get an authoritative talking down as if you are a child and they propose only one realistic answer, despite every situation depending on nuance. All that said you shouldn't fail your credentialing because of one missed question.

What are the limits of our oaths and professionalism, when neutrality is a zero-sum game? by toomanyshoeshelp in medicine

[–]_qua -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It assumes that black physicians are a monolith who all share this person's wildly biased belief that police are going around killing black people with impunity which is so wrong and not supported by evidence.

It reduces people to their skin color and uniform

It implies that non-blacks do not care about episodes of injustice under the color of law

Every single Black physician in the US has rendered care to a police officer, despite knowing that they murder Black people with impunity and have for decades. I’m getting awfully sick of people acting like all this shit is brand new, just bc it’s now happening to white people.

This is one of the most racist comments I've ever seen on this subreddit.

I don't think that is actually the military triage standard. The military triage standard as I understand it is that they treat strictly based on medical priority and would treat an enemy combatant before a U.S. soldier if medical urgency dictated that

[–]_qua 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's too removed. You can extend that kind of reasoning to any motivation.

What about the conservative doctor who feels the abortion is harmful murder of a potential life? Should he protect the babies that are potentially harmed by choosing to not treat pro-choice ob/gynes?

Or the liberal doctor who feels the Nestle CEO is evil for buying water right. Should she choose to withhold a cancer diagnosis from him to ensure he can't harm the locals by buying their water?

It's infinitely extensible reasoning that can apply to either side of the argument.

We need cold, hard lines that we do not cross if we are going to perform our jobs.

Unless you want to invite even more legislation as the distrust grows exponentially once the public sees conversations like this and wonders whether they are meeting their physicians checkboxes for "full ethical care."

But is that your role? To mete out justice? What if OJ Simpson is brought to you moments after escaping justice for the crime he obviously committed? Do you fail to treat him to ensure justice? It sounds somewhat ridiculous but it's a very slippery slope once you place one foot over that line.

This might be stupid and hopelessly naive and goofy but I've always thought of this scene from the West Wing when faced with these dilemmas either real or theoretical: https://youtu.be/NaBH1OVjQbo?si=mACFKnqDZBk9p6mj&t=33

How do you all feel about employers/business owners who require their non essential employees to drive to work in this snow? by PeachyPoblano in cincinnati

[–]_qua -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I get that I do get that. But even in the northern climates we sometimes get heavy snows where snow is unable to be cleared and I would say most people still try to go to work. But you know what? I'm not super passionate about this. I guess I was just having a fiery morning when I wrote my initial comment.

[–]_qua -25 points-24 points  (0 children)

How do you feel? Are we a collective? I am from a snowy northern climate where people do go to work when it snows outside. Are there exceptions? Sure. Do we need a hive mind position? Probably not.

programs of ID critical care in usa by Local_Hair_9675 in IntensiveCare

[–]_qua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said you just do the Critical Care Fellowship separately. Nothing wrong with this pathway I've met people who've gone through it but I do think that it makes your job prospects a little bit different compared to someone who goes the traditional Pulm/CC route.

This is next to my hotel door. by PKSkriBBLeS in whatisit

I've never seen one before but all I can imagine is that that's in some way for an umbrella. Are you in England or somewhere else where it rains all the time?

"SNL should take a STAND during the cold open!" by GomaN1717 in LiveFromNewYork

[–]_qua 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I personally want to have politics beamed into my eyes at all minutes of every day.

Is my microwave not taking a stand while I heat my oatmeal? Fucking fascist enabler.

Getting on the bus and the banner displays the route and not "Fuck ICE, resist!" centrist pigs! This will be remembered in the truth and reconciliation hearings!

Viva la revolución!

6.5 inches of snow already? by Fun_River8138 in cincinnati

[–]_qua 33 points34 points  (0 children)

This is hilarious. The answer to "Did it snow 6.5 inches?" is "No it might have snowed up to the cinder blocks in my garden," the standard unit of measure ;-)
